PRESIDENT TRANSMITS REPORT
IN SPECIAL MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS.
GATUN DAM ALL RIGHT
ONLY ENEMIES OF PRESENT POL.
ICY ARE THOSE WHO WANT
NO CANAL.

Washington. - Any attack made
hereafter on the lock type of the Pan
anna canal, according to the opinion
expressed by President Roosevelt in a
message transmitting to Congress
Wednesday the report made by the
engineers who recently visited the ca
nal zone with President-Elect Taft, sis
in reality merely an attack upon the
policy of building any canal at ALL
The report, in Mr.. Roosevelts opin-
ion, shows in clearest fashion that the
Congress was wise In the position it
took and that it would be an mex
cusable folly to change from the pro-
posed lock canal to sea level canal.
Il commend to you," he says to Con-
gress, 1.-The most careful consideration
OF the report. They show that the
only criticism that can be made of the
work on the isthmus is that there has
sometimes been an almost excess Of
caution in providing against possible
trouble. AS to the Gatun dam itself,
they show that not only is the dam
safe. but that on the whole the plan
already adopted would make it unnec.
essarily high and strong and accord
ingly they recommend that the height
he reduced by twenty feet, which
change in the plans 1 have accordingly
directed"
President Roosevelt says that the
engineers who made the report on the
Panama canal "are of all the men in
their profession within or without the
United States, the men who are on the
whole best qualified to pass upon
these very questions which they ex-
amined."
The engineers report that as the Ga
tun earth dam was the central point
OF discussion they gave it under in
structions from Mr.. Taft first con-
sideration in the light of all new evil
dence" and they add that the type of
dam now under consideration is one
which meets with our unanimous APP
prevail"
They Say they are satisfied that
there will be no dangerous or objec-
tionable seepage through the materials
under the base of the dam; nor are
they so soft as to be liable to be
PucAiSu uoiuS W tuc Weight vi Tue pro-
posed dam SO as to cause dangerous
settlement. We are also satisfied
that the materials available and which
it is proposed to use are suitable and
can readily be placed to form a tight,
stable and permanent DAM"
They report that they do not find
any occasion for changing the type of
canal that has been adopted. A change
to sea level plan at the present time
would add greatly to the cost and time
OF construction, without compromising
advantages, either in capacity of the
canal or safety Of navigation, and
hence would be public misfortune"
The engineers who compose the
board are Frederick Steers, James G.
Schuyler, Arthur P. Davis, Isham Ran
dolph, Henry D. Allen, John R. Free
man and Allen Hazen.

WOULD KEEP THE DANGEROUS
PLACES CLEAR BY USE
OF BOMBS.
PLAN OF 0URAY MINERS
CHAIN OF BOMBS TO BE FIRED BY
ELECTRICITY AFTER HEAVY
SNoWFALLs.


famous Waterhole snowslide, when
four men were killed; the memory OF
former disastrous slides in this dis
trict when numerous lives were lost
and great property damage done, and
the inconvenience to the mining indus
try here during the present winter on
account of the heavy snow, has set
mining men to thinking and plan has
been devised whereby it is thought
that serious danger from snowslides
in this district in years to come will
be eliminated If the plan is success
fully worked out here, it will probably
be extended to Silverton, Telluride and
other camps where serious loss Is
caused by slides nearly every winter
and spring.
1t is proposed to use chain of
bombs connected by wires SO that they
can be fired by electricity following
each heavy snowfall, thus making the
slides run with frequency, but with
less volume. Another plan considered
feasible in running the slides is the
use of cannon to throw shells into the
courses of slides and start them.
The plans are being widely dis
cussed here and prominent mining
men say they will probably be tried
next fall and believe they will be sue
cessful. The SHOWS this winter have
been heavier than Tor years and slides
are more threatening and frequent
than for number of years, but each
year they must be contended with and
each winter mine operators are trou-
bled with men leaving the work for
fear of their lives.
For the last week the Camp Bird
mine has been closed, laying off about
200 men, because of fear of slides and
it only resumed work this morning.
Other mine workings are closed for
the same reason and the expense
caused from these shutdowns, 1t is ar
gued, would more than pay the cost of
employing the contemplated methods
of averting the danger.
The danger from slides usually fol-
lows heavy fall of snow and they are
started by the least little thing. At
present the wires of the Telluride
Power Company form a network over
most of the hills, and the plan is. be-
fore snow comes next fall, for men led
by competent engineer to go into
the hills and plant several bombs at
the sites of slides, all of which are
we'll known by mining. men. Then
when heavy snow falls and slide
Is imminent the bombs will be dis
charged by electricity at these slides,
which will doubtless run, but their
volume will be so small that with pro-
per precautions neither property nor
life will be destroyed.
There will be little danger then OF
further slides until the next heavy fall
of snow. when the same method can
be repeated.
