CUT LANDSL|DES
HANDICAP CANAL WORK
Most Annoying and Expensive
Part of Building the Great
Waterway.

Owing to great slides of earth and rock,
the famous Culebra cut has proven to
be the most annoying and expensive part
OF the engineering work on the Panama
canal. The engineers fully expected that
a good deal Of the material would slip
down into the canal prism in the course
Of the excavation, because OF the great
depth Of the cut and the character of the
soil, but 1t is admitted that they had no
idea of the enormous extent OF the slides
to be encountered. Last year and even
very recently these slides were more
numerous and larger than usual and the
canal commission has consequently been
obliged to revise its estimates and to add
5,257, ,2S1 cubic yards to the excavation
work. to allow for slides. in addition
to the former allowance.
Fortunately this additional work will
not add to the original estimate Of the
cost of making the. Culebra cut This Is
explained by the fact that owing to the
great improvement in the method of work
the cost Of excavation, which. in 1908
was estimated at es cents. per yard. has
been reduced to $500 cents and even
further reduction may be expected. {
Some idea Of the enormous amount OF
coal consumed by the myriad engines
which are tearing away the earth and
rock in the bed of the Panama canal
may be gained from the statement that
the canal commission has just placed
contract for one years supply of semi
bituminous coal. The successful bidder
was the Pocahontas Fuel Company, at
$251 per gross ton. delivered at the
steamer. A British steamship line-the
Earn line-will carry the coal to the
isthmus from Newport News at $1.2o1s
per ton.

His Picturesque Personality.

One Of the most picturesque personali-
ties in American financial annals was
John Warne Gates. The predominating
characteristics of his nature. energy and
speculation, particularly the latter earned
him the sobriauet of "Bet-you- a Million
Gates, by which he was known on two
continents. He was a big man and did
only big things and in big way. AT
the time Of his death. he was one of the
most striking figures in the money world

up for fifty-six years under the strain,
the rush and swirl and tension of his
daily activities. Amazing tasks he per-
formed without apparent fatigue or brain
wear.
