more e~ffectually damned. 1t was
given out some time since that he a
effected a compromise with the Bonner
Lumber and Boom Company, which
has a franchise from the California
Legislature, and which served an in
junction OIL Won Schmidt, but it seems
that negotiations to that end are still
going on. The hearing of the i%njunc-
Auburn. 1t has TRANSFERRED, however,
that Won Schmidt's confidence in over
coming the Boom Company's obJec-
tons to his water project was based
upon the supposition that that COM
par1y was poor and would compromise
for a small sum rather than go to law;
but when he came to hunt up the
n of the franchise he found the
powerful and wealthy Central Pacific
Railroad Company sitting behind the
throne. The Colonel was astOunded-
was check mated. But nothing 10th,
he set about compromising with the
Railroad Company, Offering, as we I'M
derSIand, to take that company into
his water company. and proposing 10
run a tunnel under the Sierra Nevada
mountains large enough for the rail-
road to pass through over tie 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 SqIIaw 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 about three miles above
the town Of Truckee. BY this route
the railroad would avoid the steep
grades of the summit, the expensive
and uncertain snow sheds. and the
dangers of land and 10Y slides. Start
ing from the outlet of the lake the
water would run nine or ten miles be-
fore reaching the tunnel, or about
three miles further than by the Squaw
Valley cute. The tunnel would also
be much shorter by the proposed new
route than by the old, as the mountain
is narrow at thai point. We learn that
Won Schmidt has strong hopes that
the Railroad Company will go into
the arrangement, i'll which case he Will
have the strongest backing on the
coast. Our Information is to the effect
that the Central folks look upon the
project with much favor, and hat the
matter is being seriously discussed by
them. The result of the negotiations
now going on will probably be known
within a week or ten days.
