VISIT TO THE PANAMA
CANAL is TOLD ABOUT

, forty-fye to 600 feet deep.
The tide on the Pacific side of the
canal is about twenty-one feet and
on the Atlantic side thirty inches.
This necessltated the Gautum dam,
which furnishes the water from the
Chagres river to lock the boats from
both ends of the canal. The dam
land the lake constitute an Immense
reservoir, thus affording ample wa
ter to lock all boats through the
canal. The dam is about one and
one-half miles long measured on its
crest, and one-half mile wide at its
base. 1t is 400 feet wide at the
water surface and about 100 feet at
the top. Its crest as planned will
be at an elevation OF It's feet above
mean sea level, or thirty feet above
the normal level of the lake. OF the
total length of the dam only 500
feet will be exposed to the maximum
water head of eighty-fve feet. The
interior of the dam VIII be formed
by the natural mixture Of sand and
clay, dredged by hydraulic process
from pits above and below the dam,
and placed between two large masses
of rocks and miscellaneous material
obtained from the steam shovel ex-
cavation at various points along the
canal. The entire dam will contain
about 21,ooO,ooO cubic yards Of ma
terlal.
1t will take vessels ten hours to
pass through the canal. and all boats
will be towed through the locks by
electricity. The area of the canal
zone is 1922 square miles and its
width is ten miles. The total num-
Der of employees at work reaches
10000, and the estimated total cost
is $375, 900, 900, 900.
High temperature prevails all year
and the months of July and August
are the hottest. With the exception
of these months the climate varies
but little in the year. The hotel
Tivoli is one of the finest in the
country and is owned and operated
by the United States government
and its rates are reasonable.
Sanitary conditions impress one
very much as most excellent; There
are no diseases and but little sick
ness. I saw a few flies. but no
misquitoes. Az
Cab fares in Jamaica are twelve
cents to any part Of the city, and in
Panama ten cents.
What saw and learned well re-
paid me for the trip, and all resi-
dents of West Virginia who make it,
agree that 1T is not only highly edu-
cational. but one of rare pleasure.

Dec. 6, l9I1-Trlal of the ten pack
ers begun before Judge Carpenter
The trial was one of the longest
criminal trials in the history OF the
federal courts. 1t began Dec. 6. 1911.
and the jury was sworn in Dec. 10.
The first witness was called by the
government December 90. The gov
eminent put forty-nine witnesses on
the stand and introduced 1883 docu-
ments in evidence. The record of
the case contains 100000 words.
1t is estimated that the trial cost
the packers 100000. and the gov
eminent about 100000.
The first witness called by the gov
eminent was Albert H. veeder. the
dean of counsel for the packers and
personal legal advisor of the late
Gustavus F. Swift, founder Of Swift
and Company. He gave a graphic
description of the old packers pool
which met every Tuesday afternoon
prior to 1902 and gave the details
of the method by which the fresh
meat business OF the country was
controlled. He declared that no at
tempt was made to fix prices and di-
vide territory after the old packers
pool was dissolved in 1902. He also
told Of the attempt of Armour, Swift
and Morris interests to combine the
packing industry into billion dollar
corporation and how the plan was
dropped because of the inability of It's
promoters to finance 1t.
Nearly every witness called by the
government in the trial was either an
employee or a former employee OF
one of the corporations controlled by
the defendants.
The defense cross-examined every
witness at length and in this way got
much of It's side of the case before
the Jury.

composed of the following:

CHICAGO, Mar. fS.-The trial OF

OF conspiracy In maintaining COM
bination in restraint of trade in vio-
latlon of the criminal provisions, Of
the Sherman antitrust law which
began December 6, now almost ended.
is the closing chapter of long legal
battle waged by the government
against the big packers.
The heads of the packing compan-
les in the proceedings are named as
individual defendants and verdict
of guilty under the law would make
them liable to either a fine of $4,000
each, or Imprisonment for one year
or both penalties.

and Company. ..
Arthur Meeker, director and gem

general superintendent Armour and
Company.

Francis A. Fowler, manager beef
department Swift and Company.
Edward Morris, president Morris

Louis H. Heyman, manager !. besf
department Morris and Company.
Edward Tilden, president National

The government contends:
That prior to 1902 prices were fixed.
shipments regulated and territory
divided by the old beef poo. which
met every Tuesday afternoon.
That after the old beef pool dis
solved in 1902 the packers held secret
meeting at each others homes,
That the National Packing Com
pany since its organization in 1903
has been used as the clearing house"
for the alleged combination. ~
That the packers adopted a test
cost and margin system which was
used in the purchase of cattle and the
sale of fresh meat.
That the allowances made for by
products IN figuring the test cost were
inadequate and the Cost used by
tho packers was fictitious and higher
than the actual cost,
That the representatives Of the
different companies in New York,
Boston and other eastern cities ex-
changed information In regard to
prices and shipments and telegtaphed
the figures to their superlors in
Chicago.
That the violation of the Sherman
law by the packers has been contin-
uous and practically uninterrupted
since 1898.

ernment's investigation and prosecu-
ton of the men alleged to control the
fresh meat industry of the country is

three years without further explor-
alton work being done.
Mr.. Brady told me that it was
his intention, in about two weeks.
to sink winze. If this plan is
carried out It should add at least
another year to the ore reserve
already in sight.
The owners of the mine are to
be congratulated upon the stand
ard OF mining that has been done
in the West End Mr.. Brady is
entitled to the credit of doing what
so few managers do. namely, max
ing producing mine with as little
dead work as possible.
The carloads of high-grade ore
that are being taken out from the
22O feet of ore shoot will give
handsome returns to the owners
OF the property. When | say 220
feet ore shoot | have reference
not to the lower grade of milling
ore, but to the high grade milling
and shipping ore.
One might say that the era of
prosperity dates from November up
to the present time, and the prop
erty has made this remarkable
showing from the ore that has
been extracted and treated. They
have paid for the mill; for i'm
provements on the same and all de-
yelopment work that was being car
ried on while the mill was being
improved. They have paid out In
five months over one hundred thou
sand dollars.
Mr.. Brady is now working to-
wards the Ohio Tonopah shaft.
which has a depth of about 700
feet and is almost ready to make
the connection from his present
workings to the Ohio shaft which
is on the California claim. Work
has been going on for some time
in the old shaft. worn ladders be-
ing replaced. and the timbering
wherever defective. has been re-
placed with new and substantial
lumber 1t is the intention of the
company when the connection is
made to put a steam hoist on
RI old Ohio shaft, to clean up
the drifts, cross-cuts, etc.
In some places in the mine you
will find that the ledge merges
into the walls and has enriched the
country rock to such an extent that
fair milling values are had in part
.of IL; IN other places. what appears
to be hanging-wall is a strata
of black quartz carrying low values,
but beyond il is another enrich
ment body of ore which cannot
correctly be called another ledge.
yet il bears strong resemblance

to go into a technical description
