It praises 150000 acres under the Carey act, a 200 foot dam and a ten foot diameter tunnel led by engineer J. E.

Alarmists spread a rumor of Japanese mines and batteries around San Francisco harbor and a fleet plot to scatter the American fleet. The tale frames a broader western world conquest with the fleet’s destruction as an incidental element.
