The; disasters attending this company, witn ' its record of the greatest steals in the history of the world and its attendant numerous suicides, are still fresh in the public mind and need no recapitu lation here. The company, however. a not dead, though they have tried in vain to raise the $15W.'A"0.000 necessary to complete the canal. The collapse of the company awoke the strongest pub lic prejudice against the route and it Is Indeed remarkable that in the many points to be considered and in an un dertaking so gigantic the two routes are such close rivals. It is not generally known that work on the Panama canal was resumed in IKC. and has been continued to this day. In order to save some of the r-io.OO'.0(iO De Lesseps company spent, and to retain the valuable con cessions granted it. the receivers or- j ganized a new company. The stock was ; purchased !-y members of the or.c:na. compaLy. who b;ed ty fur-her su'o scribing to save a part of the.r or.i.na! investments.

It was in isV-iC.2 that the U'ausit company, which then controlled alt transisthn.ian traffic, had the Nicara gua r "Ute surveyed and twenty years later a commission went over the line for the Fal-ed State. When the Pan ama scandals began. Mr. A. G. Mino cal. who was a member of that coui u.issi,,n. obtained a concession from Nicaragua and the Nicaragua Canal C..nstru--;on Company was organized. In is-s-.' the original Panama company upend-d and the same year the Nic aragua concession was transferred i the Maritime 'anal Company. The company dug alx.ut three-juar ters of a mile of the canal and deoje comprise an engineering feat the most wonderful ever attempted. In the Isth mian con mission's estimate of the time it will take to construct the canal, six years are given the building of a dam across tiie San Juan river, while two more will serve to complete the water way. The Saa Juan leaves the south east corner of Lake Nicaragua and flows almost east into the Caribbean s.-a. The tirst half of ;-s length from the lake is almost a continuation of rapids and waterfalls. It is then joined by the Uio San Carlos and its size doubled. Two miles above this junction is the site of the great dam. The San Juan in its normal state has a fl.v of i:ii.!mi cubic feet per second, but in tiie rainy season it sometimes mamits to lliHUMi. To bold back this flood with a dam llid feet high, and thereby raise the waters of the San Juan to the level of the lake, is the project. originally, the cost of the Nicaragua!, canal was placed nt $50.WMKKl. The es-l mates have steadily risen untH at present the figure Is $l!MU)i0.txx.
