says that work is now being prosecuted
on the Virginia City and Truckee River
Milling and Manufacturing Co.'S, canal.
This is a work of no small magnitude,
the canal is sixty feet wide, BY eight feet
deep, and is calculated to carry the en-
tire volume of the river. Its length is
two and a half miles, with II fall Of fifty
feet. The dam at the head Of the ditch
is fourteen feet high, and sets the water
back a distance Of four and one half
miles and will be completed at q cost OF
| about 5000, 900. Its value to the mining
interests will be appreciated when it is
understood that wood can be delivered
TO the mills on the line Of the canal, at
\ cost Of two and one half dollars per
cord, whilst the contemplated railroad
will deliver ore at equally moderate
rates. The company have now a gang
Of hands at work, and will prosecute
the enterprise to an early completion.
Another canal has been locoted taking
its water from the Truckee below this,
in which several Of the citizens Of our
town are interested. We are not in
formed as to the particulars concerning
it, but knowing that it Is in the hands
of such men as Capt. Rawlings, Ssml
Mcfarland and Dave Scott, men who
mean business, we are satisfied that i,
soou will be made a source Of wealth to
its protector, and a motive power, ad-
~vancing the grand prosperity Of the
