THE LATEST.

SACRAMENTO, March Is, 1907.
The water is still flowing through some of our
Streets but the principal street, from Sixth to the
Levee, now deserted by boats, and drays again
in requisition.
The large and beautiful building (the FL Dorado)
the of Second and Jay Streets has settled
some six inches since the inundation. The walls of
several brick buildings slightly cracked but the
damage is not onethird SO serious as was appre-
hendea
The people Of Sacramento city suffer very little in
comparison with the farmers Of the county. Not
only in many instances was all their stock lost, but
their crops it is generally believed, is entirely de;
stroyed. The counties Of Calavoras and FL Dorado
each lost immense amount Of property. The
bridges alone that were carried off in the latter
county, we're worth ten times as much as all the
property destroyed in this city The fumes of the
different mining companies, erected ut great labor
and expense, and rendered perfectly valueess are
loss seriously felt and not easily repaired.
The weather is still unsettled, and at the present
time Of writing az o'clock, NJ slight drizzling
rain has commenced falling itcontinues we have
every reason to foar another rise.
Half past 1.-The sun is shining, but thick clouds
are in the East.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1852-04-13

NJ ii continues 10 rain. The waser has slightly
risen in the streets The 6acramsnto river fuller Is
than 1t has been during the 6oed.
The river, at six O'Clock last evening, (Tuesday)
was seven inches above the highest point reached
during the food of 1885, YET still lacks eighteen
inches OF being over the Levee. The beneficial
effects OF this embankmcnt are now apparent for if
it had not been constructed, the entire city would
at this moment be at least foot under water
Union.
NEW LEvEE We hear that efforts will be made
for the immediate construction Of a branch levee
commencing at the foot Of street, extending thence
along to Sixth street, thence running aiagonally to
street. thence to the high grounds, near the adobe
building, opposite Norris ranch, on the American
river.
It is also proposed that tho city issue bonds, pay
able in 1880 or 65, and that the work DO not paid
for until fully completed. The object of making the
bonds payable at such remote period of time is to
relieve our present overburdcned tax payers from
further payment Of onerous assessments arising from
the immediate liquidation Of the expenses attendant
upon the construction Of the work.
We heard of no arrivals from any part of the
mines yesterday. The high. water has apparently
prevented all desire the part of miners to visit the
city.-Iincs and transcript.

The same paper states that along the bed of the
plain between the San Joaquin and the foot hills OF
the Sierra Nevada there are numerous channels,
which have been formed by the rains of successive
winters, and which are dry in summer time. These
have been completely filled, and their banks have
pesn overhowod to greater extent, we understand,
than has ever been known in the memory of man :
while the rivers Moqueumnc, Calaveras and Stans-
aus have risen at least IL feet higher than they rose
IN the severe winter of lS49 and 80. The country
on the hoqGelumne is completely flooded, the crops
are hidden from the sight, and in many places the
houses have been swept away. Every bridge and
ferry on the river has been carried down by the re-
sistless force of the current. We have yet heard of
no loss o. human life The lower bridge on the Ca
laveras has been carried down, but the bridge Mt
Davis Il Athcrton's still stands, notwithstanding
that the water yesterday was over the ratings.
From the Stansaus we also receive reports of
similar disasters. The Pontoon bridge, at Heath &
Emorys ferry. and the ferry boats, gone. Seve-
raj horses have been drowned ut Isips and the boats
carried away. At Knights Ferry, the river rose
twelve feet higher than in lS4950; at Robinsons,
aso the boats have been carried of, and 1t is also
feared that ut McLeans Ferry the current has made
clean work of it, and carried of houses and boats.
This is mere rumor, however, and we hope it is not
true.
The greatest height of water attained in the
Stockton Slough, was at o'clock on Monday MORN
ing and was four inches higher than it was in 49 or
go.
THE LATEST FROM STOCKTON
THREE O'CLOCK, z. NH. j. Raphael, agent of
Reynolds, Todd Co.'S Express, has just arrived
from hsquelumne Hill, bringing news that all the
bridges between that place and Stockton have been
carried away by the freshet; the streams are almost
impossible, and are still rising.
The miners at the hill are at work day and night
and getting ont large quantities of gold Mercan-
Tile business dull. At Atherton's Rancho, q man
was arrested charged with stealing gold specimens
