GEN. BIXBY's REPORT.
Diversion of Water Is Lowering
Niagara River.

The diversion of water for power pur-
poses is perceptibly lowering Niagara
River, according 10 the annual report of
Gen. Bixby, Chief of Engineers. The
greatest effect is shown on the Canadian
side Of the Horseshoe Falls, where this
Increased diversion has resulted in a low
ering of about three and a half inches.
although the decrease OF one and half
inches in the shallow waters at the east
end of the Horseshoe has resulted in ex-
posing greater lengths of crest line.
The report gives the details of the work

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Capital Traction warrants We'd with
Railway common in furnishing features
OF yesterdays session of the Stock EX-
change. Traction warrants further up
set early expectations by striking a high
er level in the trading, selling at g. Is and
3 Ia. Railway common touched a higher
level yesterday in the course of free
trading, selling in the first four trans
actions at n. The price dropped back to
46 1-2 before the close, but the increasing
strength of the stock was evident.
There was less trading in warrants
than at any previous session since they
were placed in the market. The feeling
in the street has been that the warrants
would not hold at 9 after the middle of
the month, but would ease of to S1-2.
The persistency with which they have
stuck to the 8, however, has caused no
slight speculation, which wSs increased
yesterday when a further advance was
registered.

OF PROGRESS AT
The Mines

E. p. Walker of the firm of
Walker Brothers, who are operating
the rich cinnibar mines at the head
OF American canyon, came in from
camp on last Fridays stage and
returned to camp Tuesday morning
Mr.. Walker stated that they are
steadily developing their mine there
by extending the tunnel into the rich
deposit of cinnibar ore. They
are now in over three hundred feet
and have a large amount of rich
ore blocked out. Quit an amount
Of ore from the mine has been mill
ed and treatd in the plant, the boys
erected at he mine during the past
year.
They are not running the mill at
the present time but are blocking
out ore for future treatment. There
is over two hundred feet of ore
blocked out In the tunnel, ready
for Stopping out, and the vein Is so
large that one man can take ,ut
ore as fast as small Huntington
mill will run 1t through. They
bore the holes for the powder with
augers and when a round of s ats
is set Off, bunch of ore like
Eaystack" comes down, as Mr.. Walk
or remarked to the Tribune reporter,
The boys have every confidence IN
their mine. and as it is paying
its own development from what it
produces, they have good reason to
believe that they have one of the
beest cinnibar mines In the mining
states.

PROGRESS OF THE WORK
OF THE union CANAL
DITCH COMPANY

After long series of accidents
and unfortunate delays the big dred
ger is now moving dirt In grand
shape. Three shifts are employed
sn that it is kept going day and
night. The enlarging and straight
ening of the old Channel slough as
far as the diversion gates has been
completed and several hundred yard
OF the new Union Canal has been
dug. The earth from the new can
al handles much easier than in the
slough as it contains more sand
END scours better from the dipper.
Now that dirt IS flying steadily s.p-
criatenoent Anker wears the SMILE
that wont come Off that is it wont
come off till something serious hap
pens to the dredger.
The concrete diversion gates at
the junction of the Old Channel
ditch and new Union Canal are COM
ploted and excavations being carried
on for the concrete structure at the
South West ditch. This will be a
twc-way structure where the water
In either direction will have a verti-
Gle drop oil seven or eight feet to
take it down from the level of the
New Union Canal to the grade of
the South West ditch
There will also be a culvret OF
concrete at the crossing of the Irish
