VoN ScHMpr's Bro TUNNEL.-Rela-
tive to the location Of the proposed
tunnel Of the Lake Tahoe Water Com
pany and tho Central Pacific Railroad
Company, through the Sierra Nevada,
the Carson Register says: The tunnel
will doubtless be bored through the
Sierra, starting at q point near the
head Of the north branch Of the Middle
Fork Of the American river, about ten
miles east Of Canada Hill, and coming
out near the vivarium Of Conner q CO.,
about four miles above the town of
Truckee. This point Is the most prac-
tleable and feasible, so far as getting
the waters through the mountains Is
concerned and the tunnel would be
shorter than by any other route In the
vicinity Of the lake but II the rail-
road L. to pass throughit the present
track will have to be abandoned nom
Truckee to Auburn, or Whereabouts.
Starting from the western terminus Of
chs tunnel, the railroad track would
have to hug the southern side Of the
hieh divide between the Middle and
North Forks down to Last Chance, II
not to Michigan Bluff, and the cost Of
grading across the ridges from there to
Auburn would be very great. We
therefore doubt II the Central Pacific
Railroad Company will ever divert Its
track to the proposed new route, al
though Il will, as the Bonner Lumber
and Boom Company, doubtless con-
tribute to tho construction OF the tun-
nel-taklng In return for such contri-
button the lions share Of Won Schmidt's
water stock, and availlng itself Of all
tho benefits to be derived from the
-shpment of timber and lumber BY the
tunnel and aqueduct. The proposed
tunnel Is to be bored with a machine
cutting out q core seven feet In diame-
ter, aud then enlarged by blasting to
nineteen feet In height and twenty-one
feet In width.
