canon CITY, July 22nd, 1891.
EBIToRs SHASTA COURIER AS you have not
had any regular correspo spondence from this place
as yet, you viii probably not object 10 few
| items. Our city was formerly called JacISass
Bar, Ga very appropriate pame,) but since the
arrival of some of the .'boods," it has been
been changed 10 the alistocratic title of Caaon
City. II is situated about twenty miles north of
Weavcrville, and about ten miles above the
moath Of Canon Greek. About eight months
ago, tlle miners up here were greatly annoyed
for the want Of water, but they were assured
by the Prepretors Of the big Dam that there
would be plenty Of water out in few weeks to
supply all of the diggings of Canon Greek. The
calculations OF men, however. sometimes
very erroneous; at least it has hapdened SO in
this instance, for the end of the few weeks have
not arrived get, and am afraid it wIil be few
months before il does arrive. The big Dam"
has proved TO be a complete fhilure; after spend
ing thousands of dollars on it, they are obliged
TO give II up, and go higher up the creek aud
put up sEsale- one. They are at The sane
time erecting a mill, and think that in the
course OF human events, they will be aLle 10
supply the miners here with water for miles, and
on both sides of the creek Had it rot been fur
oS S'te "dtci Colil PttiiitS NUS. ana D. WHo
IN the Incredible short space of seven months
built their dam and extended their flames far
enough, so as TO be able to supply the miners
with water, the miners here would have but
poor encouragement TO prospect their claims
with the small allowance of water they had. In
fact there are so many companies engaged in get
ting water out OF the creek now, that we may ex-
pect to have water for half the price it is at
present. ss-s.f.A
think the /" star" of Canon Greek is in the
