whole length Of bitches, pipes and
flume will be near twenty miles; OF
which six will be very heavy iron
pipes, one foot in diameter, and about
eight miles Of flume. The late Rich
ard 4. Chase, civil engineer, made the
survey for the ilume and pipe portion
of this work owe a year ago, and
demonstrated the feasibility of the I'M
dertaking. From Gold Hill the flume
runs westerly to the summit OF the
highest point Of the range north and
east Of town from that point tn the
mountains west, 4 distance Of six miles
it requires the pipes before mentioned
to convey the water to the flunie.
From the western terminus Of the
flume the descent Is Irregular but con-
slant until at the divide at the Toll
House, It reaches over fifteen hundred
feet. From that point 1t ascends the
Sierras for c seventeen hundred
feet to get n sufficient distance
above the flume to insure a continuous
flow ut all times to fill it. The esti-
mated pressure on the pipes at the
lowest depression Is about seven hun
dred pounds to the square inch, aud to
bear this enormous pressure very
heavy iron Is required. Iron OF suffi-
Client quantity aud strength could not
be had In San Francisco last year to
make these pipes, and one Of the COM
pany went to England and purchased,
aud shipped II for that special purpose.
We understand that the company are
now pushing this work with the intel-
ton Of finishing 1t this Fall. II this
work Is carried out on the basis OF the
plans and estimates made by Messrs.
Chase and Fountain. 1t must be a sue
cess, and an enterprise that will pay
large dividends OH the very heavy ex-
pense OF construction; besides afford
Ing to Virginia and Gold Hill the best
aud purest of mountain water. We
understand the pipes will be made OH
the ground where required. and that q
large number of men will be put on
this end OF the works this wcek.-CaT-
son appeal.
