Suwanee roach to the swamp. One
of the engineers in charge of the
work was in the city recently and
g*ve the writer an interesting
chat about tiie scheme, which will
open lip a section which for cen¬
turies has been under water and
muck, the Iiome o 1 aliigator > and
various other reptiles.
One hundred and fifty laborers
are now at work at the swamp,
and the construction of the great
canal, which is to carry the water
from the swamp to St. Mary’s
River, is being pushed forward as
rapidly as machiery and human
hands can accomplish it. After
January 1, this force will be doub¬
led, one-half working during tlie
day and the other at night, so that
this year’s results will be twice as
much as that of the last twelve
months.
This canal, when completed,
will be 150 ft wide and 03 ft. deep
with a fall of 125 ft. to St. Mary’s
River. The most difficult part of
the construction will be through
a high knoll two miles long.
Trough the middle of the swamp
another canal, sixteen miles long,
will be constructed, with small
branches, the whole to act as
feeders to the big drainage
stieani.
When the latter is completed,
two hydraulic pumps, with a ca
pacity of 30,000 gallons each per
minute, will force the water off
the swamps, while the largest in¬
land dredger in the world will re¬
move the muck and tear away the
stumps, leaving behind a beauti¬
ful clay subsoil,which has become
wonderfully rich by the muck ac¬
cumulations of centuries. This
muck averages 6 ft. deep. The
dredge is a ponderous machine 90
ft. long, with a 40 ft. beam. It is
what is known as a combination

to secure timber from
kee. In this alone the wealth of
the swamp is incalculaole. its
pine mowth is the most magmfi
cent iii toe woiiu in point o l size
and quality, and its cypress de
posits cannot be equaled any¬
where. The pines average 70 ft.
to the limb, are as straight as an
arrow, and from 1 toS ft. in di¬
ameter, while the cypress trees
are enormous in size, the average
diameter being from 10 ro 12 ft.
Saw mill men have besieged the
company to secure tiie timber, but
as it is of such valuable quality,
the company will probably erect
saw mills on edge of the swamp
and develop tiie timber on its own
account.
The engineers expect to find
many valuable curios as the work
progresses. Already they have
found evidences of Indian habita
tions of the numerous small is
lands \\‘hieh dot the great swamp,
Numbers of Indian mounds have
been discovered on these islands
filled with all styles of pottery,
specimens of which have been

Mr. Cleveland's Strenatli.
i j.}.e xew Haven Register.
Mr. Cleveland’s strength lies in
upon the simple
principles laid down by Jefferson,
and in his perfect honesty. His
schemes of conduct is simply
enough, and because it is simple
the people understand it, while
the politicians oftentimes do not.
To bail him as a founder of a new
democracy is absurd. He will
have earned everlasting gratitude
if he deliveres us from the exist¬
ing order of things. The demo¬
cratic party wants no new princi¬
ples. It wants honest, brainy, ag¬
gressive and independent men
lead it according to fundamental
ideas, men who can look beyond
their own environments and com¬
prehend that of the people. Such
a man, at least more so than
party leader already in
life, is Grover Cleveland.
der of something new he is
nor does he pretend to be.
