WHAT HAPPENED ON VICTORIA WHEN IT NEARED MT. KATMAI

The following is taken from the In dependent Squawk, a paper which is publishd without provocation or req son aboard the Victoria on her first trip North:
 It was in the summer of 1922 when Fairbanks rode into Nome on 3 White Horse. Here he met Ruby a teautiful daughter of Nome. A whirlwind courtship followed. He had a Skagway about him and was willing to Teller anything. Juneau, he won her. They were married by St. Michael at Holy Cross. Nov it i> learned that the wedding was a fake, just Bluff. He has cast her from his home clad only in an East Cape. A Council was called in Nome and the Marshall is hot. on his trail. It is 1umored that the villain Fair banks is seeking Anchorage in Dime Creek. Alaska law must act with Hot SprUgs and play the Ram part. Circle the Territory if necessary with an Eagle boat but put the field where he will never leave another beautiful daughter of the Northland Flat.

MINING MEN MAY OPPOSE
 MELTING OF GOLD COINS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 7.-One of the major problems to come be- fore the twepty-seventh annual con- vention of the American Mining con- gress, when it meets here Septem- Der 20 to October 4, is the huge loss the country is said to suffer every year through the destruction of gold coins.
 At present TO law prohibits the melting down of gold coins and the use of such metal in the manufac- ture of jewelry and in the arts. Pro- ponents of ban on such melting contend that five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces ,minted at the ex- pense of the taxpayers, are thus re- moved from circulation and from the media of exchange, to be turned into luxuries. Their opposition is based principally on the fact that gold has a fixed price, set by the government, unaffected by supply and demand, unlike other commodities.
 An anti-destruction law for gold coins will be agitated at the conven- tion and the attitude of the entire mining industry will be sounded out. If the sentiment is favorable, steps will be taken to have such a bill presented in congress.

HISTORICAL PRIZE ESSAY
The First Chesapeake & Delaware Canal

task to cut through; many slides oc-
Cured and had to be removed again
and again, frustrating the plans of
the engineers.
In those days to dig to any depth
was considerable work. Men had to
relay the dirt from one level to
another until it reached the surface.
If not by pick and shovel, roads
were dug slanting on the side of the
cut and wheelbarrows and horse
carts were used to remove the dirt.
This was the way the Canal was
eventually put through. Compare
this, with the modern machines Of
today which are making Randel's
Canal in up-to-date proportions.
These machines dig the dirt, mix it
with two-thirds water and force it
by centrifugal pumps through pipes
81 inches in diameter for a distance
of $4,000 yards and elevate it
twenty feet.
The aqueduct was also intended by
the directors to be used as canal,
of smaller degree, joined with Big
Elk Creek and thus making another
waterway to the Chesap cake Bay.
The big Elk was to be dam
med and locked at several places,
so that it could be navigated
further up the county and give
the people a ready market for
their produce. One history publish
ed in Philadelphia stated that the
aqueduct was used for a canal, but
this is untrue, for the plans of the di-
rectors did not materialize, and it
was only used to fill the reservoir.
The aqueduct was abandoned in
1903, and a few remnants scattered
here and there are all that is left of
the vast amount Of money and labor
spent in its construction. Some II
the choice stones to be used in the
arches were left at Elk Forge and
the B. and o. r. r. Co. salvaged
them to build a bridge at that point.
This bridge was torn down and used
in the construction Of a modern iron
bridge which is still used today.
The aqueduct was boon to the
business at Elkton, for, it was the
only place of any size where the
laborers could spend their wages.
The race track was major attraction
too.
On one occasion these men got
into an argument with the proprietor
of side show. After they got some
liquor the men came back and renew
ed the argument, which resulted in
a fight. One Irishman was killer
and a negro injured. The Irish
m ms fellow-workers terrorized
the negroes by raising a reign of
terror and avenging their COM
panion.
The War Of 1912 gave great i'm
petus to the construction of the
Canal, for this is a part Of the great
inland waterway on our eastern
coast, which will prove useful in
future defensive wars. The govern
ment passed bill supplementary to
the Charter of 1899 and the canal
was soon rapidly taking form and
finally completed in 1924.
Many changes have been made in
the canal for handling a better class
of traffic and doing away with the
locks. At present the Canal is being
made dnnnar usiup an onIarpama ont
OF Randel's plan. This clear-headed
man foresaw the advantage of a
canal which would dispense with
stopping at both ends to lock
through, and the government has
bought the old Canal and is falling
back on Randel's plan to cope with
the traffic which has outgrown the
Canal.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1924-05-30
(Concluded)

The Canal was to be above water
level in either the Chesapeake or
Delaware Bay, consequently water
had to be supplied to navigate it.
Latrobe. was the engineer in charge
and proceeded to build an aqueduct or
feeder to get the supply of water to
the Canal. For this purpose water
was taken from b e head
race of the Elk Forge Company,
and conveyed overland by the aque-
duct to reservoir, covering about
one hundred acres, which was built SO
that the Canal might have supply
of water always on hand. The aque-
duct started at Elk Forge, which was
where Elk Mills now stands, passed
within two miles of Elkton, and en-
tered the reservoir mile west of
Glasgow 1t was stupendous
undertaking and cost about 100000
before it was completed. The Elk
River supplied enough water to fill
the lock Of the canal about one hun
bred and seventy times day and all
this water was to pass through the
aqueduct. The men had to build a
bed to support it, cutting trough
through the hills and constructing
vast arches in the low places, so that
the water could flow by gravity from
Elk Forge to the reservoir. Stones
were quarred and dressed up the
county, and brought down the Elk
Creek to Elk. Forge by scows and
transported from here to the point
of construction. The work was done
In a superior manner, for it has with
stood ravages of time. One man
tried to tear one of the arches down
but after many hours of fruitless
labor he decided it was cheaper to
quarry the stones with which he
wanted to build the foundations for
factory.
If the Canal Company wanted to
use the water of Elk Greek it had to
compensate the owners of the mills
and factories who had been using
the water for obtaining power down
stream. The water rights were
bought by the Canal Company only
during the summer months, as it was
thought the Canal would be frozen
over in the winter, stopping or sus-
pending traffic. All this added to
the final expense of the Canal. Why
the directors did not select better
plan, no one can explain. They
could have gotten water from the
east side of the Canal as they do at
present from Back Creek, or they
might have dug deeper Canal. Mr..
Randels Plan, one Of those under
consideration, of digging deep
canal dispensed with the water sup
ply altogether. He planned to build
large gates at the Delaware end,
which is seven feet higher than
Chesapeake end. These gates would
automatically open at high tide and
fill the canal to normal level, and
would close at ebb tide to keep the
water from flowing back in the sea
This plan of using the sea for a
reservoir was considered for a while
by the directors, but rejected because
too much money and labor would De
needed to dig SO deep canal. About
the center of the Peninsula there is a
ridge or water shed which had to be
cut through. This must have been
the stumbling block for the Randel
plan, as it was when the Canal was
dug. The ridge was an immense
