Won SCHMIDT PROJECTS DEEPER.-
The Carson Register Of this morning
has the following: Col. A. W. Won
Schmidt the great engineer, has struck
q new lead, by which Lake Bigler or
the Truckee outlet Is to be more effect
ually damned. It was given out some
time since that he had effected a COM
promise with the Bonner Lumber and
Boom Company, which has a franchise
from the California Legislature, and
which served an Injunction on Won
Schmidt, but II seems that negotiations
to that end are still going on. The
hearing of the injunction case Is set for
Monday next, at Auburn. 1t has trans
pired, however, that Won Schmidt's
confidence In overcoming the Boom
Company's objections to his water pro-
ject was based upon the ~supposition
that that company was poor and would
compromise for q small sum rather
than 20 to law but when he came to
hunt up the owners Of the franchise he
found the powerful and wealthy Cen
fral Pacific Railroad Company sitting
behind the throne. The Colonel was
astounded - was check-mated. But
nothing 10th, he set about compromis-
ing with the Railroad Company, offer
ing, rs we understand, to take that
company Into his Water Company,
and proposing to run q tunnel under
the Sierra Nevada mountains large
enough for the railroad to pass through
over the canal. The proposed tunnel
Is TO start In a few miles above what Is
known as the French Meadows, and
about four miles northwest Of Greek
George Station, on the old Georgetown
and Squaw Valley trail, at the head Of
the north branch Of the Middle Fork
OF the American river, and Is to come
out on the Truckee river above the
town Of Truckee. By this route the
railroad would avoid the steep grades
OF the summit, the expensive and UNI
certain 10Y sheds, and the dangers Of
land and snow slides. Starting from
the outlet Of the lake the water would
u nine or ten miles before reaching
the tunnel, or about three miles FUR
Their than by the Squaw Valley route.
The tunnel would also be much shorter
by the proposed new route than by the
old, as the mountain Is narrow at that
point. We learn that Won Schmidt
has strong hopes that the Railroad
Company will 90 into the arrangement
in which case he will have the strong
est backing on the coast. Our intor-
nation Is to effect that the Central
folks look upon the project with much
favor, and that the matter Is being Sc
rlously discussed by them. The result
of the negotiations now going on Will
probably be known within a week or
ten days.
ATTRACTIVE ESTERrAINMEST.-On

per's Opera House, Won Hartman
