The soil through which the canal
passes is largely of mari formation.
There will be no blasting required for
soundings show that there are no
rocks in the way. The mari will have
the dual effect Of providing firmer
canal banks, and at the same time
will make it possible to have q per-
manent roadway from Ferguson to
Charleston out of a durable material.
The Corner river is not only tide
water, but has sufficient depth to
float schooners up to the point wa
tcrs where the canal will empty into
it.
1t cannot be said with any certainty
what towns, if any, will be upon the
line from Columbia to Greenwood.
Seven surveys have been made. The
promoters have been greatly pleased
to find that such road would open a
virgin country at present some dis
tancc from railroads. The general di-
rcction out of Columbia will be toward
the towns Of Lexington and Saluta.
The proposed line would have a
maximum curvature Of less than three
degrees, and no curve within 500 yards
of another. There will be maxi
mum grade of less than / per cent,
which is considered excellent. No
treEtles, no fills, a road easy to con-
struct.
The projected power plant at Bear
creek on the Saluda river, is expected
to give a twelve-hour horsepower of
$4,000. Again the promoters claim to
be favored by fortune, for the shoals
at Bear creek pass between two prac-
tically perpendicular banks with gran.
ton. The river is very narrow at this
point, and while the dam will be at

market in Charleston, which is twenty
three miles on an air line, or in Sa-
Vannah. Both Of those cities are at
present dependent upon steam power
plants for their electricity. Even at
wholesale price Of two cents per
kilowatt hour, this would be less than
the present cost to make electricity,
and at the same tive would give the
canal revenue Of something like
$5O0,0OO a year. This revenue will
enable the company to build the canal
without charging toll upon vessels
passing through the locks. This river
of course, is free to navigation. This
company will not stand in the way
Of any other that may wish to operate
barge lines, and the sale of power
Will prevent any one boat line from
having monopoly of the locks fa-
ciltics.
Waters of Rivers
Cooper river is tidcwatcr, therefore
salt. Santee river is fresh muddy
water. What will be the effect Of
this fresh water emptying into the
Cooper. Some say this should have
he effect of propagatin gan oyster in
dustly which would make South Caro-
lima complete with Lynn Haven. The
small South Carolina oyster is now
the most succulent Of all on the At
lantic. coast. Oyster spawn is heavier
than fresh water, but lighter than salt
water therefore oyster beds could be
made in the dual properties water.
The surveys submitted to the gov
crnmcnt show canal ditch 200 feet
wide at thu bottom, and with a slope
or grade Of six inches to the mile.
This is sufficient for the flow Of the
stream. The navigablc depth is ten
feet.
While there is rise in the ground
between Ferguson and Moncks Corner,
it is said that it will not be necessary
to make any deep cuts for the canal
