TIE Largest RESERVOIR IN THE STATE
The Union Ditch Company, of Murphy's,
says the San Andreas Independent, have
completed the survey of the largest reservoir
in the State 1t is located about forty three
miles east of Murphys-near the region of
perpetual snow-on tributary Of the Stanis.
laus, and when filled, will cover an area OF
fifteen hundred acres. The dam we learn,
will be completed this fall, before the rains
set in. The object of its construction is to
economise the water that flows off during
the months of June and July, when the melt
ing SHOWS fill the river to overlooking. The
water thus caught wilt be saved until the
months of September and October, when the
river supply fails to furnish enough for the
ordinary wants of the miner. The reservoir
will then be drawn upon, and by this means
the Union Ditch will have a permanent sup
ply for the demands of the mining interest.
1t is situated ina dense forest of pine and
fir where but little will be lost by evapora-
ton.

written paragraph. He meant, of course,
that it was showing. A merely practical man
would have said, ut is showing heavily"
But, how much more beautiful the fgurative
expression
Since then, we have been shown a very
similar idea, which was embodied, two or
three years ago, in poem by the Learned
Gunsmith of this city, B. L. Noe. Both his
and Dosh's use of the idea is original, and
sufficiently different to entite each to the
praise Of having uttered a good thing We
extract from Noes poem-handed us by
friend of his-the portion which contains the
figure alluded to. Speaking of the "King of
the Arctics," he says:
ale comes from the North in his frozen car,
And drives, from its desolate lair,
His feet snowy sleed from the north polar star
And the earth achitens pale i0ith fear"
We shall publish the entire poem in our
next issue, that our readers may Judge wheth,
er it is all as good as the portion quoted.
