The aionle accord,

FINE STRUCTUREs.-Som of the finest speci-
mems of hume architecture we have ever seen
have been erected on Trinity river between
Junction City and Douglas City, within a year
past The terrible food of year ago last De-
cember carried away every aume in that section,
but all have been replaced. 1t is gratifying to
look upon them they give an air of permanence
to the localities, aud speak loudly for the value
of mining claims which could warrant the heavy
outlay required in their construction. The fume
conveying water to the old Given Il Co.'S claims,
at Arkansas Dam, owned by the De Graf broth
ers, (by whom it was built,) is about rs feet
above the river and nearly 500 feet long. The
hume across Trinity above Evans Bar, owned by
Vostagen < Co. aud McGovern q Co., is los feet
above the water. and l,l60 feet long. 1t was
built last summer by Smith Killbury q Co. The
hume of Johnson Tye * Co, two miles above
Evans Bar is 80 feet high and 800 long. The
wire suspe nson, over which the tume of the Red
Bar Company is laid is the finest work in the
county. The lume is about 500 feet long, the
) main span being 800 feet. 1t is so feet above the
river. The suspension was erected last summer
\ by Hallidie Il Co., San Francisco. 1t is well

and with good mining claim, little cottage,

i FINISHED BEYOND DoUBr,-We tried as hard
as possible to have Lowden's new bridge finished
By the first of February, but failed. Next an
bounced on authority that it would be ready by
March lst failed again, aud concluded not to
mention bridge again until we saw something
eross it with our own eyes. The bridge is finish
ed the stage passed over it on Monday evening,
and unless a second deuge occurs, will continue
b do so. The bed of the bridge is far above high
water mark of Winter before last. When any
Thing higher comes Grass Valley won't be
good place to live, and no bridge will be needed.
We have not seen the new structure yet, but
judging from the timber being prepared for 1t
last Fall, no better and more secure bridge could
be built. Mr.. Lowden deserves credit for his
Energy nothing in the whole county was more
Needed than that bridge. Hitch up your bull
teams" ye Red Buffers and bring on that freight.
No more set backs in the way OF sloughs and
quicksands at the Trinity crossing now.
