I hi* report will glye many details of * on»!ru< lloa ia irgard to tba proposed route, and will give a pretty Cloae fig ure of tbe entile coat of tb) undertak ing. as far as human Ingenuity ran 1 foresee. A summary of the** coats have been I made out in sertloas and althont go ing Into the detail, of the curves and levels, they are as follows. The east ern harbor and Jeltle* will ragalrn i about nine million cubic »* d* of aoft excavtlon. The jetties tbemselvea trill require about tflouoo • ujdc yards of , riprapeter. The Greytown section cf j the 1 anal, that Is. the section beginning at the harbor anil reaching to the east divide, will requ 1* is .mat cubic yards of earth and clay excavations. Tne three Ira ks of this xeetlon will cost in Hie netghlioi hood of tea million dol -1 lara. Tbe divide section reaches from here through a high, rocky range of liiila iweaiy-fonr miles further There are seven and one-hstf million cubic yardy of rick in ibis cut, and niwiit five million yards of earth and clay. The depth of this cut will be mitigated by the heighth of the canal, which la here 112 feet above the The an -1 Dial cutting will he abottt 200 feet In 11 he deepest part. From her* begins : Hie Ochoa section, which runs through >tan Franciaio basin and Florida h«t goon. This Is low country and the : cutting, which will reach to Ochoa dam. 34 1-2 mile* from the Caribbean sea will only add ten million yards if> the figures, making a trifle over forty million cubic yards to the dam. From , here the summary cut through Sail .l iihn river will aggregate 34.1KK1.000 cubic yards. The cost of tbe Ochoa ‘ dam. upon which rests the entire feas ibility of the route, has not been ac curately computed. , The dam will bo over fifteen hundred feet In length, foundation seventy-five feet below the bed of the river bottom, and will rise over one hundred and thirty feet. The river will have to he turned from Its course during the construction. Es timates for the western division have not yet been made. They are under the direction of Admiral Walker’s son, I v. D. Walker, and will amount to not | less than thirty million cubic yardjj 1 ’more, making a total of 115.000.000 cu bic yurds of all kinds of excavations. It is seen that $135,000,000 will be a conservative estimate of the entire cost of the canal, and this almost agrees with that of Major General William Ludlow's report, 1806.
