The rush and scrabble for some of the $78,000 lode struck lately at Weepah, down near the slanting California lino (TIME, March 21), continued last week to swell and assume bright color.

Doubtless he subscribed to the popular belief that it was his successor, General George Washington Goethals, who "put the Canal through." And indeed General Goethals did: he conquered that greatest foe of his predecessors, yellow fever, so that the blue prints might come true. But to the blue print aspect of the Canal no man contributed more than John F. Stevens did during his regime, from June, 1905, to April, 1907.
