WATER DITcHEs IN SrANIsLAus COUNTY
The Ssanislaus County Nc,cs of last week has
the following in relation to Lagrange and the
bitches that are now being constructed in
that county:
We are happy to state that the prospects
of Lagrange were never better. Her old and
proven valuable mining claims are soon to be
in operation. We are informed that the
ditch, which starts out of the Tuolumne river
some seven miles above town. aud is destined
to convey its waters on to the highest hills
east and south of that place, will be compile
ted in less than three months. To show the
magnitude of the work now going on at that
place. and which is destined 70 develop the
mineral and agricultural resources of the
place. some idea can be gained when We state
that the ditch above alluded to is to be seven
teen miles in length, eight feet in width, and
is estimated to cost nearly a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars. We are informed that there
are at present at work on the enterprise some
300 white laborers and GOO Chinese. An
other enterprise of perhaps even greater mag
nitnde and Importance to the people Of our
VALLEY, is the organization OF company.
formed with view of diverting the waters of
the Tuolumne river on the plains and valley
lands of our county, for irrigating purposes.
This company las gone quietly TO work, and /,
without any parade or bragadocio on the part
of its members, is now constructing mas
sve dam across the river, some two miles
above Lagrange. This dam, when completed,
will be used in par. for the elevation of water
for mining purposes. The remainder of the
water will be turned into massive bitches,
which are to be constructed on either side OF
the river, and led below to the arabic lands
of our vast valley. With the completion OF
these vast enterprises, the prosperity of La
grange, and in fact the entire valley below,
will be assured beyond doubt.
