  ence 
  in 
  level 
  will 
  be 
  overcome 
  by 
  four 
  locks 
  of 
  21.4 
  feet 
  lift 
  

   each. 
  From 
  Minetto 
  the 
  line 
  follows 
  the 
  river 
  to 
  the 
  northern 
  

   edge 
  of 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Fulton, 
  where 
  it 
  enters 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  a 
  

   small 
  creek, 
  and 
  continues 
  across 
  swamp 
  and 
  sand 
  reaches 
  to 
  

   Oneida 
  lake. 
  

  

  Two 
  different 
  projects 
  for 
  connecting 
  waterways 
  from 
  Oswego 
  

   river 
  to 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  have 
  been 
  examined 
  — 
  the 
  first 
  of 
  these 
  

   with 
  the 
  summit 
  level 
  416 
  feet 
  above 
  tide, 
  with 
  a 
  water 
  supply 
  

   to 
  be 
  furnished 
  through 
  a 
  feeder 
  from 
  reservoirs 
  on 
  the 
  Black 
  

   and 
  Salmon 
  rivers, 
  and 
  the 
  second, 
  with 
  a 
  summit 
  level 
  the 
  

   same 
  as 
  that 
  of 
  Oneida 
  lake, 
  379 
  feet 
  above 
  tide. 
  For 
  a 
  water- 
  

   way 
  having 
  a 
  high 
  summit 
  level 
  across 
  the 
  divide 
  between 
  

   Oneida 
  lake 
  and 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river, 
  it 
  is 
  proposed 
  to 
  establish 
  the

  low-water 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  lake 
  at 
  376 
  + 
  T. 
  W., 
  while 
  for 
  the 
  project 
  

   having 
  the 
  lake 
  for 
  the 
  summit 
  level, 
  low 
  water 
  will 
  be 
  estab- 
  

   lished 
  at 
  379

  T. 
  W. 
  For 
  the 
  project 
  having 
  a 
  high 
  summit 
  

   level 
  it 
  is 
  proposed 
  to 
  overcome 
  the 
  45-foot 
  rise 
  from 
  the 
  Oswego 
  

   river 
  at 
  Fulton 
  to 
  Oneida 
  lake 
  by 
  two 
  locks 
  with 
  22.5 
  feet 
  lift 
  

   each, 
  while 
  for 
  the 
  latter 
  project 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  two 
  locks 
  of 
  18 
  

   feet 
  lift 
  each, 
  and 
  one 
  with 
  varying 
  lift 
  from 
  12 
  to 
  19 
  feet, 
  

   according 
  to 
  the 
  stage 
  of 
  Oneida 
  lake. 
  

  

  In 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  high-level 
  project, 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  divide 
  

   near 
  Borne 
  is 
  about 
  430 
  feet 
  + 
  T. 
  W. 
  The 
  deep 
  waterway 
  would 
  

   cross 
  this 
  summit 
  with 
  a 
  water 
  surface 
  elevation 
  of 
  416 
  feet. 
  

   The 
  summit 
  level 
  would 
  be 
  nearly 
  14 
  miles 
  long 
  and 
  receive 
  

   a 
  water 
  supply 
  from 
  the 
  Black 
  river 
  feeder 
  at 
  or 
  near 
  its 
  western 
  

   end, 
  three 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  Borne, 
  from 
  which 
  point 
  the 
  line 
  would 
  

   follow 
  in 
  a 
  direct 
  course 
  to 
  Oneida 
  lake, 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Fish 
  

   creek. 
  The 
  eastern 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  summit 
  level 
  is 
  about 
  one 
  mile 
  

   east 
  of 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Oriskany 
  creek.
