PANAMA CANAL DELAYED
Subterranean Lake Under Lock Cause
of Additional Outlay of Time
and Money.
It is reported that the completing of
the Panama canal will necessarily be
delayed for several years more than
I the public had been led to suppose.
■ The discovery of a subterranean lake
under the site of one of the proposed
big locks will be the cause of the de
lay. According to reports the exist
ence of the lake has been known by
the engineers for some time, but had
been kept secret. It is supposed that
the object of suppressing the knowl
edge of this new difficulty to the com
pletion of the canal was in order that
the work might be carried forward as
far as possible before it became known
that a difficulty existed which would
cause a delay of several years in the
work, and an expenditure of a much
larger amount of money than had been
planned.
II. E. Revel 1 left Seward this morn
ing at 7:30 o’clock for Sunrise and
Hope. He had four dogs in the team
I and 150 pounds of mail on the sled.
