EARTH SLIDES IMPEDE WORK.
Steam Shovelers Hustle to Clear
Panama Canal Cuts.

Tremendous slides of earth and rock
into the Culebra cut have marked the
middle weeks of January. according to
the Canal Record just received. 1t will
require great activity on the part OF the
steam shovelers to clear out the canal
prism at that point in time to warrant
the opening of the waterway before the
end of the present calendar year. AL
ready more than half million yards OF
material have slid into the cut this
month. and the engineers fear that an
impending break at Purple hill will add
not less than 100000 yards of rock and
earth.
For a long time the notorious Cucu-
racha slide on the east bank OF the canal
had been quiescent. but the afternoon OF
January 16 the earth movement began
so rapidly as TO carry away some of the
dirt cars and completely cover all of the
tracks i'm the canal except one.
Purple hill is holding back great
amount of earth slowly moving toward
the cut. but that hill lis showing signs OF
weakness and should il break away the
canal prism would be almost filed at that
point.
