"Tho original purpose of the old com. pany was to build a canal without Iwk freely open from ocean to ocean, but after sovoral year of work tho plan was abandoned, owing to the enormous exca. vat Ion iiecossury to cut the central mas of the mountain (the Culubra) and the dlllliMilty and expanse of properly lukliui care of the occasional torrential flow of tliu river ChuKre. Thn alternate) plan, whl'ih has been adopted by the new com pany, la to ruduce materially tho deplli of the central excavation and to establish therein a aystem of lock, to be fed from the Chngres river. In order to properly reguluto tho How of tha river, dams will bo erected. One of thn dams will bo lo. cated at llohlc, at tho lust group of locks on the Atluntlo side. Thin dam will trans, from the Chngres Into a vast lake, which will extend to Obispo, a distance of 12 mile and will cover 'an area of over 21 mllec.
