John M. Cook, the contractor who
is cutting the canal from Fancy Bluff

work on next Monday, and the many
little b. liitu from Camden Guilty and
clsewh vc, which have
been compelled to go around through
St. Amlrw's sound in order tv reach

and much safer route, to the city.
Mr. Cook, who was in the city

had progressed speedily, and the nar

navigable and many small boats are
using it.
The dredge which nas been at

by tlie i'.leiriH-Stevens Company, of
Jacksonville. It. is anew stylo

son of one one of the members of
the above firm.
The length of the canal or cut-off
is 1,200 feet, extending from Fancy
