DRAINING WAsnoE LAKE.-It Is very
likely that in the course Of a few years,
says the Enterprise, the present site OF
Washoe Lake will nearly all be under
cultivation. The lower lake Is now
dry, having been drained by a large
ditch cut for the purpose Of draining
eff Its waters In order to reach the
tailings deposited in it in former times:
A large ditch connects the upper and
lower lakes, aud il Is probable that
this will ut no distant day be so cut
down by tho action of the water flow
ing through it as to drain the upper
lake. We are informed, indeed, that
at the present time the depth OF water
in the upper lake does not exceed four
feet. The lake itself Is OF no use to
any one /; all that Is Of any service Is
the water flowing into and out OF II,
and this would be quite as useful when
confined to a narrow channel as It Is
OF present.
