PACIFIC 10 ENTER GIL
Barrier Dike Is to Be Exploded, Mak-
ing Navigable Western Tide
Water Section.
WASHINGTON, I). C„ Aug. 21. Anolher
Important step toward fiuul completion of
the Panama canal will l>e tiiken next
Monday, when preparation* will be made
to blow up tlie heavy eiirtli dike, now the
only barrier between the Mlruflorea locks
and tidewater ou the Pacific aide, three
n;ile* away.
There will be nothing spectacular about
the destruction of the dike, its base will
be jierforated by a number of holes
heavily charged with dynamite, then for
five days fresh water from the Kin
Qrande. one <>f the rivers of the canal
zone, will be ttirued Into the canal prism
and when the water is near the level of
the sea water on the other side, the
charge will be set off.
Two tuouster dredges, the Mole and tbe
Coroxal, are waiting to atlnck the debris
and lu the course of two or three days
will clear a channel thfoagh the dike suf
fir ten! to admit the dredges and vessels
of ten to twelve feet draft as far as
Mlraflores locks. A month later a chan-
nel the full width of the canal prism
and deep enough to pass a battleship
will be completed.
After the destruction of the Mlrafh»rcs
dike there will remain only two such
obstructions along the canal route, one at
Oiuibou, about oue-thlrd of the way
through from the Atlantic, holding back
tbe water from the Culebra cut and one
over which the railroad crosses at the
Gatun locks.
The total excavation for the complete
canal now stands at 2H2.3&1.0QU cubic
yards, of which 25,738,051 yards are yet
to lie removed. Most of thla will be
bundled by dredges.
