Az IMMENSE PRoJECr.-A company termed
the Wnshoe aud Eagle Valley Water Com
pany, have for some time past been testing
the practicahiiity of bringing the water of
Washoe Lake to our mining region. After
series of surveys they have demonstrated the
feasibility Of the project, and have conmenc
ed operations. The ditch will be about Iit-
teen miles in length, four feet deep, six feet
wide at the bottom and nine feet at the top.
carrying 5000 inches of water. The COM
pauy tind that it will be necessary to run
tunnel one and two-hlth miles through the
divide between Washoe and Eagle Valleys,
The outlet of the ditch will be in Gold Canon,
about where keilogs's mill is located.
Coop REruRN-We noticed, few weeks
since, that Mr. Sandy Bowers had made his
wife IA present of one huudred tons of rock
Since then it has been crushed, and has yield
ed 81 900 That will furnish madame with
pin-money for some time.
MILLs-There are seven mills either con-
tracted for or in process of construction, be-
tween Virginia City and the Vlowery Dis
trict. The volume Of water in the canon i.
every day increasing, and no fears are now
entertained of "A scarcity of water.
TnE VALUE or CLAlMs-Some idea of the
valuation placed on some of the claims at G old
llilI, may be judged by the fact that last
week $4,000 per foot offered for por-
tion Of ground at that place, and refused.
CENTRAL LL-This mill is nov doing fine
ly-thcy on an average, shipping 600 ounces
daily. The bars are remarkably pure, aver
aging about $50 fine of silver. During the
past three weeks they have been obtaining
ore from yellow stratum which yields over
$500 per ton This stratum is not found in
either the Ophr or Spanish mine. 1t begins
in the Central and extends sothward. Its ex-
tent is not vet determined.

Letter from the State Delegate for FOs-
ter's Bar Township.

A day or two since we made mention ol
letter received from our occasional cores
pondent "Stars and Stripes" in which men
ton was made Of certain resolutions offered
at the Fosters Bar Township Union meeting
which elected delegate to the Fourth cf
July State Convention. We declined pub
li-hing the letter because the resolutions critl'
cized by the writer fell to the ground, and
were not therefore chargeaGle upon any one
but their author, and also because we had not
seen them. "Stars and Stripes" was OF the
opinion that the delegate elected at the meet
ing had endorsed the resolutions, which are
said TO be Of the anti-coercion stripe. Mr..
Woods. seeing that some doubts exist as TO his
real positiun, has addressed us the following
letter, the publication of which renders the
other communication alluded to unnecessary
and shows that he is entirely sound. as we
knew him TO be- SO far as the treatment
alleged to have been received by Union men
at the meeting merely because they had ac-
ted with the Republicans, is concerned, We
are not disposed to attempt any excuse for it,
The call was addressed to all Union men who
approved the resolutions of our State Central
Committee, and ali such men should have
met upon terms Of perfect equality. Here is
Mr. Woods letter:

EDIroR DEMocRAr 1T appears that your

! Strips" has attempted to give You the pro-
cecdings of the Union meeting at Oregon

ing one delegate to the Union Convention, to
meet July 4th at Sacramento.
| will say the resolutions he refers TO did
not meet my APPRECIATION, and objected to
the same being put to vote Of the COuven-
tion With all my ability, objected to doh
preamble and resolutions that thought had
a bealing towards anti coercion. But some
of NY friends say that | did not object to'the
resolutions, but objected to the preamble
| This might have been the case at one stage of
the excited debate | think ohiectng to
| the preamble was the same as oljectiug TO
the resolutions. | will say that others con-
tended firmly against such resolutions being
passed and will also say they never came
to vote of the convention, but were with
drawn.

LOUISVILLE JOURNALISM The following
spicy hits are from the Louisville papers,
which are true to the stars and stripes:
The Courier says that the grass is growing

suppose that the hourly tramp of regiments
would be very favorable to the growth of
vegetation even in the very finest weather.
We wouldn't pay very high rent for Broad,

The Capital of the Confederate States has
gone to Richmond, and the capital of most OF
the monied men in that section (and of the
other too) has gone to the Devil.
There are tens of thousands Of people in
Kentucky, who, when they get out of their
beds in the morning and put on their coats
and hreeches feel really curious TO know
whether Gov. Magoitin has not proclaimed
the State out of the Union during the night.

eighteen thousand acres, and, like the other,
will perhaps have money enough to reclaim
it. In these two districts are said to be some

ROYAL BErRornAL.-Alice, second daughter
Of Queen Victoria Of England, has been be-
trothed to Prince Louis Hesse. "John Bull"
the London correspondent of the Bulletin,
says:
This is not one of the usual State marriages
dictated by mere State convenience, for it so
happens that it is really and truly 'love
match as it could have been were the con-
tracing parties but humble individuals in IA
rank far removed from all State convention
alities The Princess, indeed might have had
an heir to a crown, as her elder sister had !;
but she has been allowed to make her own
choice and, if common report is to be relied
ON, that choice has fallen most worthily.
The bride herself is sweet gentle lady-as
loveHble lass as the heart of man could de-
sire, be he prince or peasant; so, all who
know her wish her happiness and long enjoy
ment of it.
