LL kB IA 2 ZJ 'i 21 i58-Culebra Cut Showing Outskirts of Culebra in the Distance, Panama Canal. Here the spectator is looking north over the Culebra Cut where one of the eight angles is located. Small portions of the tw highest hills along the Cut are here visible. On the right is Gold Hill and on the left is Contractor's Hill. Near the former is the famous Cucaracha Slide, described in views 21743 and 21757, and at the other occurred the large 75 acre slide described in view 21738. The buildings in the distance on the west ledge of the Cut belong to the town of Cu- .;:ebra. These will all be removed by the time the work in this section is completed. The Postoffice building, and a large Y. M. Copyright riP,hy- The C. A. building were already removed by the i.iddle of .913. In this connection it is interesting to note that many other villages of mushroom growth, and also several old towns, will be wiped out of existence when the canal is put into operation. Most of the older towns thus to be wiped out are located in the low ground from Bas Obispo to the Gatun Dam, and will be submerged beneath the waters f Gatun Lake. This submerging of the lowlands has necessitated a relocation of the Panama Railroad, which is already completed. Keystone FiVw Company.
