eighty-five feet deeper than in the
present plan, which would require both
wider bottom and indefinitely wider
surface opening. and then the slides
would be UNNECESSARILY greater than
at present. 'The best years work In
the Culebra cut was 16,5S6,S91 yards.
Slides first and last have added more
than that amount to the total estimate
of excavation for the division. Yet the
increase in efficiency Of the organiza-
ton has enabled the workers to handle
the extra amount within the time and
cost estimated for taking out the orig
inal yardage.
Three methods of excavation have
been employed in digging the seven
miles of sea level channel on the At
lantic side and the eight miles of sim
liar channel on the Pacific side. Steam
shovels dug down on the Atlantic side
to forty feet below sea level with great
bikes to hold out the water, and dredges
have done the remainder of the eXca-
waiting. On the Pacific side. in addi-
ton to dredges and shovels, the n.y.
draulic method has been used. This
method consists Of playing Il powerful
stream of water on the earth and drain
ing the water with the soil in a fluid
state to selected dump which has
been boarded. the water being drained
Off when the mud has deposited. The
Atlantic entrance required an excava-
ton of 47.523,000 cubic yards and the
Pacific entrance 5S.2S7 900 yards.
1t is planned to take the great dredge

up into the Culebra cut for the work
of handling slides and silt after the
water is turned into the cut

In the hate spring Of 1912 the press
in the United States exploited the dis.
