Canal project opens in Chicago to connect Great Lakes and Mississippi
A Chicago dispatch reports water turned into the 33 million dollar drainage canal from the collateral channel near the Chicago River. Water flows toward the Des Plaines and Mississippi, with sluice gates and a dredge removing the earth wall to allow the canal to operate. The project started September 3, 1812, with a total outlay about 33 million dollars and aims to boost navigation and sanitary control for Chicago and the region. A San Francisco note adds the disappearance of the Salvadorean steamer Manle and nine crew members presumed lost after leaving San Francisco for El Triunfo.
