Through the Mountains TO FLolT 12-FOOT-DRAUGHT SHIPS Besuming the series of sbip canal letters just as the State Commission resumes prep arations for its official survey, will be found both interesting and timely. One thing in this connection seems certain: Whoever shall successfully engineer a ship canal through altitudes where it was necessary to bnild 71-locks for only 70-ton boats within a distance of 16 miles, will certainly make a bright mark on one of the brightest pages of all American engineering. The problem will be how far down to dig in the mount ains, it seems. fFEOM OCR BriCIAL C03OHSSI0XIK. Erie, February 15. The mutations oi fktel who can foretell them? Not even "the "Wise Men of the East" could say what a day might bring forth. So it happens that while plans were well laid to continue, with but slight interruption, the series of letters on the proposed Brie and Ohio Ship Canal, they went awry because of obstacles not within mortal ken. La grippe explains it all. , But as to facts: In one of the letters of the first series on this canal mention was made of many new surveys of the summit Which had been mads during the past few years. One gentleman said that a difference of 100 feet in the summit level wonld make a corresponding difference of at least a dozen locks on each side of the summit. This was said in such a way that a person who heard it would naturally conclude tiiat there had actually been found a sum mit level 100 feet lower than that by which the old canal crossed. Furthermore, I thought it possible to get a sight of some of the maps which indicated the route of this lower level or the lower levels, although all the surveys mentioned were made in the in terests of railroads seeking easy grades, and not with the sligntest idea that they might be made available in establishing a sbip canal which might become a formidable rival of any and all railroads from the lakes. DBEADFTJLLT DELUSIVE. It was a delusive idea. These maps of railroad surveys, if tbey exist and there is strong reason for believing that they do are not tor the public nor the Ship Canal Commission. The best evidence on the lat ter statement is the fact that the commission some months ago employed a young civil engineer to make surveys of the summit and report upon the different practicable levels. Mr. Brewer, a member of the commission, says that he under stands no work has been done in that line yet. He doesn't know why the engineer has not done any work, but he does know that the commission is as wise to-day as it was on the day it was appointed concerning the summit levels. If it has been said before it does little liarm to here repeat it, that the summit is the only obstacle in the way of a ship canal, as far as water is concerned. The old canal crossed the summit at a height of 509 feet above Lake Brie, and only about 16 miles from it. It took 74 loess to let the old 70 ton "boats down to the harbor. So many locks in the same distance wonld prove in convenient, if not impracticable, for a ship canal with vessels of even only 12 feet draught. But the commission has not yet decided that the summit is insurmount able; indeed, it is now providing for very early surveys to ascertain that very thing. THERE ABE BAERIEES. It is almost a sbame to record it, but it reallv seems necessary to mention the neonl- iar idea that so many unthinking persons entertain regarding a water supply for a ship canal. If one person has made the remark to me, a hundred bave: "Oh, Lake Erie will afford plenty or water for the canal. You can't get a canal big enough to drain the lakes." These persons think that if a trench were dng from Lake Brie to th: Ohio river the lake could be drained into the Gulf of Mexico. It is not an altogether unnatural idea to persons who forget about topograph ical eccentricities and the laws of gravita tion. They look at a map and see that the north is at the top, and conceive t;he idea that all water should nat urally flow south, as do most of the treat streams south of the fiftieth par allel of latitude. Forgetting that Isaac xiewton saw an apple drop; neglecting to lemember that the sea level is the base of all land heights, that Mother Earth is seamed and scarred apd wrinkled, they think that, by merely punching a hole into Lake Erie its waters would abandon the St. Lawrence and seek the Ohio as an outlet. The fact being admitted that whatever difficulties may arise elsewhere in regard to a sufficient water supply for a ship canal, the greatest will be encountered at the sum mit, it is next pertinent to inquire what depth of water will be necessary to carry a loaded vessel from the Lake Superior ore mines to the fnrnaces of tbe Shenango and Beaver va'ieys and to Pittsburg with nn broken cargo. THE MINIMUM DEPTH. ,If the ordinary lake vessels, fully and profitably loaded, are brought into the canal with ore from Marquette, there will have to be 15 feet of water throughout the entire length of the canal. Ore-laden ves sels from Marquette are subject to regula tions of draught depending upon St Clair river and the Sault Ste. Marie, or tbe"Soo," as it is iamiliarly called. The condition of the "Soo" more particularly regulates the lading. During some seasons vessels draw ing 14 feet 6 inches can pass through it; but, in other seasons, as notably during part of the navigation season last year, vessels were limited to 13 feet 10 inches. To keep a debth of not less than 15 feet of water in all parts of the new canal will require a large and unfailing supply. "Where is it to come from? In the old canal the average depth of water in the pools did not exceed six :eet; no dam was greater than seven feet in height There must be more water and deeper dredging for a ship canal. How then can it be accomplished? It is certain that it will not be accom plished in the manner that some persons seem to fear. I think it was Mr. Kennedy, of M. T. & J. Xennedy, keg manufactur ers, of New Brighton, who made tbe re mark that if dams were built high enough to float lake schooners, the backwater would drown out whole communities. "Wampum was one place which he had an idea wonld be submerged. ON THE WEONG TACK. A gentleman named E. M. McConnell, who is given by the New Castle Courant the title of "the best posted man in Western Pennsylvania," says: "To erect dams high enough to float vessels drawing 12 feet of water wonld submerge all of our citv south ot Washington street, unless embankments were constructed ou both sides of our streams as far up as Pearson's mill." Mr. Brewer says that it is nonsense to think that dams will be built high enough K drown out any community. If the canal constructed at all it will be by digging down into the earth, which is some tf.OOO miles thick, and not by building dams on the sur'ace. So this objection by Mr. Ho Connell is easily disposed of. It wonld hardly be necessary to mention what Mr. McConnell said, were it not that his utterances have considerable weight in the community in which be lives. But he seems to have spoken unthinkingly. He says, further along, that "the committee should have begun its investigations, first, by ascertaining whether there is water enough. There is no question as to the mat ter of tonnage. If the committee find (a thing I think impossible) thai there is water enough, then the whole matter is settled, for it is certain that business would be secured." That, of course, is precisely what the commission understands, it all my talk with the different members amount to anything. Most of the members seem to understand that a canal with no water would not be much of a canal. But here is Mr. McConnell's knockdown blow: "Another insurmountablediflicnltv, one that appears to have escaped the com mittee, is the fact that every trunk line of rauroad Detween tbe Atlantic and the Pa cific crosses this proposed "line of canal, be tween the month of the Beaver and Lake Erie, at about the grade of the old towing path." A CHANCE TO SMILE. I imagine that Colonel Eoberts, if he read the above paragraph, must have smiled as he did so. In the opening letter of the"first series I not only mentioned but called par ticular attention to this fact, and Colonel Eoberts was the person who mentioned it to me. Mr. Brewer says that the railroads come immediately in connection with the water supply in the consideration by the commission of the question of feasibility. But it was the summit levels of which I wished to speak particularly in this letter. It is tiresome for a mortal to climb a hill, and it is a good deal harder for water to do it. The question then arises, 'Where will enough water be obtained to cross the divide? it is well known that the water with which the old canal crossed the summit came principally from Conneant lake over Conneaut creek, with French creek pumped into the lake to increase the supply. Cap tain A. F. Crane, of this city, was one of the superintendents of the old canal for years, and drove over every foot of the old towDath hundreds of times. He was in charge of the canal when it was finally abandoned, owing to the breaking down ot the Elk creek aqueduct The business had run down so mnch that it would not pay to rebuild the aqueduct PEEDICTEJG ADVISEDLY. CaDtain Crane onpht to be nretftr troll posted on the water snpply, and he says' lucre win ue uo uiuicuny in getting plenty, even for a sbip canal. He thinks it will not require any more' water than the old canal did. Tbe great loss of water comes through locking boats through. It took a very large quantity of water to lock through 136 boats per day, and that, Cap tain Crane says, was the average number locked when the canal was in its prime. The canal was 137 miles in length and there were 136 locks. "Whether or not so many jocks wouia De necessary lor a snip canal, with vessels drawing about 15 feet, is an other question. Captain Crane thinks fewer locks would suffice. At any rate, he thinks there would not be half so many vessels locked through in the course of a'day, be cause, instead of carrying only 70 tons, they would carry from 1,400 to 2,000 tons; there fore, it wonld be an easier matter to keep water in the pools.

INFAIRY.SYMCATES, The Hatfield-McCoy Region in Ken tucky to be Developed. GREEN ENGLISHMEN OF WEALTH Are Being' Believed of Their Gold by a Ken tucky Land Company, THE LATEST BIG LONDON SWINDLE. A Had Fever of Specnlation for American ProBcrties Enniin; Blot, The speculation fever in London appears to be at fever heat, if the advertising col umns of the papers are to be taken as an in dication. The latest scheme is the "Eastern Kentucky Land Exploration and Develop ment Company," and sounds well in print History seems to be repeating itself in En gland, and if the advertising columns of the London newspapers are to be taken as an indication, a mad fever for speculation in American properties seems to be running riot, and dupes must be at plentitul as they were during the ten years' run of that grandest of all popular delusions and swin dles, the South Sea scheme of 1711-20. On this side oi the ocean reporters are kept very busy following the movements of representatives of English syndicates who are endeavoring to buy np all the breweries, tbe elevators, the steamboats, the flouring mills, the furniture factories, the cattle, the drygoods houses, the boot and shoe manu factories; in fact, any and all properties, active or dead, in the ownership, manage ment or operation of which there is supposed to be money. Straightway one of these syn dicates gets an option an attempt, of course, is made to secure it without deposit of any kind a "company" is organized in London, and stock offered for sale. There are many of these enterprises being floated in England of which nothing has ever been heard in the United States. The people of this country have, owing to the pernicious activity of certain gentlemen of the names oi Hatfield and McCoy, had their attention directed at frequent intervals to the mountain district of Eastern Kentucky. HATFIELD-M'COY RESERVATIONS. It has been left, however, to the enterpris ing and energetic minds of ad "English syndicate"to turn this region to account, and while the Hatfields and the McCoys continue their work of mutual extermina tion to inaugurate an extensive plan for its development and eiplorati-n. A recent copy of the London Telegraph contains a column advertisement of the scheme, which will be read with more or less amusement by Americans. The prospectus tells of what is called the "Eastern Kentucky Land Exploration and Development Company (limited);" 368,000 acres of land or thereabouts, comprising coal and timber lands in and about Pike county, within the great Appalachian coal field. Capital 100.000, in 1 shares (whereof 99,700 are ordinary shares and 300 are deferred shares). The deferred shares will receive no dividend in any year until the ordinary shares have received. 10 percent in that year; the deferred shares will then receive half of tbe remaining profits of the year, subject to reserve. Tne directors have taken power to pay interim dividends. Issue of tbe share capital, 100,000, of which 74,700 ordinary shares are offered for public subscription, payable 5 shillings on application, 10 shillings on allotment and 5 shillings at an interval of six months. The vendor will receive 65,000 6, per cent de bentures, bearing interest as from January, 1892, and at least 25,000 ordinary shares (mllypaid) in part payment of" the pur chase money. THE TEMPTING BAIT. The prospectus then goes on to say: This company is formed to acqnire and de velop an important freehold estate in Eastern Kentucky, bordering on West Virginia; one block of about 300,000 acres, described as lying between tbe Levisa Fork ot Big Handy river and the Tug river; the other blocks of together about 68,000 acres, as on tbe left of the Levlsa Fork, with the Elkhorn Valley lying to tbe south, and along Its boundary, near to tbe well known break in the Pine Mountain range. Pound Gap. It has, of course, not been possible to obtain a survey of this large tract of land, which the company is, in fact formed to explore, but tbe directors bave had before them reports (in cluding a report by Mr. John B, Proctor, the State Geologist, collected for the purpose of tho projected Louisville. Cincinnati and Vir ginia Railway) and other information, and tbere appears every reason to believe that coal will be found in large quantities throughout tbe estate, that large quantities of valuable timber exist on it and that iron is to be found in its vicinity, and possiblv within its own bor ders. The directors believe that directly one out of tbo many commenced or projected lines touches the property, wbich may happen at a, very early date, the value of the land must at once be enormously increased. CONTAINS EVEBTTHINQ BUT DIAMONDS. Tbe directors considered it advisable to bave a special report on this property from Prof. Proctor; tbey accordingly instructed tbe New York representatives of Messrs. Slaughter and May to obtain it and the following cable sum- mary, dated 24th January, has been received: -uonsiaer iana in question eqi ual to any for valuable coals for coke, gas and domestic uses: woods; ores of the coal measures present on lands and ores of superior quality contiguous in abundance, assuring local market for coke." The map accompanying the prospectus, which is compiled from a map of the Ken tucky Geological Survey and a map re cently issued by the Norfolk and "Western Railway, is intended to show the position of the existing railways and the extension be lieved to be projected, and when these are completed they would open up this section of the country. They are as follows: Tbe Clinch Valley Extension of the Norfolk and Western to connect with. Tbe Louisville and Nashville at Norton, only about 25 miles south of Pound Gap. Tbe Kentucky Union, built as far as Jackson, in process of construction over the Blue Grass country, presnmaoiy to ronna uap. Tbe South Atlantic and Ohio, almost com pleted. Tbe Louisville Southern, stated to be already at Beattyviile. projected down cither to Pike vllle or Pound Gap. Tbe Chattaroi, completed to Rlcbardson, con tinuation projected near to tbe western bound ary of tbe larger block, and Tbeprojected Ohio extension of tho Norfolk and Western Railway, from Ironton to Elk horn, contiguous to tbe eastern boundary of the larger block. THE HAPPY PEOMOTEE. Exactly how this paradise is to be origin ally secured by tbe company does not ap pear, but the following extract may throw some light on the transaction: Mr. Tavlor. the vendor, wbo is also tha nro- moter ot the company, has purchased by con tract below mentioned, tbe freehold estate, with all the mineral, timber and other rights attached, and has fixed the price for tbe resale of the same to the company"at 133,000, which includes his profit and is to be paid as to 15.

Aglt DAVID MCOABSO. CMS. MM. ttT, ISS J IF YOU WANT TO BUY ANY FINE AND FASHIONABLE : NEWMARKETS: Or genuine English SEAL PLUSH SACQUES or JACKETS for just HALF PRICE This offer is not made with a view to run off a lot of old, unseasonable or shop-worn styles (for of these we have none) but to turn our yet rather large stock of Plush and long cloth garments into cash without further delay. Our losses at this sale will more than swallow up the profits of the entire season,but there is no alternative. We are caught with a large stock, at a time when we should have a small one, and we must pay the penalty of our indis cretion. Heavy purchases on our part shortly before Christmas have brought about this result. The balance of our MUFFS, BOAS and FUR CAPES is in the same tureen with our cloaks. Everything goea at HALF PRICE. tpO.OO For Boys' NOBBY SUITS and OVERCOATS, manufactured to re tail for 5.25, S5.50 and 5.75. Mothers, this is a chance beyond all comparison or parallel. For most of these Suits and Overcoats $6 is asked by other clothiers this very day. None but new and fashionable goods in the lot, and all placed on special bargain counters to enable you to take your choice in a minute. Boys' Waists now ready. BAILBOADS.
