TIE RUBY Hill.
Water Works, owned and directed by
Walter b. Harrub, of the Richmond,
is an enterprise whose Importance is
second only to tie mining works of the
locality which it has and will so plen-
tiiully supply with the aqueous ele-
ment. These water works were pro-
.jectcd and pushed to compile ion bv
the late firm of Clark Il Spaton.
Soon after the dissolution of the CO.
partnership existing between these
gentlemen, they were sold to T.. n.
Davis, who subsequently conveyed
them to the present energetic proprie-
fnr TIln ~ ya H..
about midway on the south side of
New York canyon, which is distant
from Ruby Hill about ~ miles. 1t is
conveyed from thence over hill and
valley through Il four inch No. Is gal
vanized iron pipe, which. not being
found deep enough. is to be sunk still
lower i'll the ground, so as to place it
out of the influence of the %severe>t
freezing spell we may have to encount-
er during all future winters. The pres
sure Obtained is found to be sufficient
tn meet the requirements of supply ut
the most elevated point at which it is
wanted. The Eureka Consolidated
ColnpanvfS works are situated on
nearly the apex of Ruby Hill, and into
the tank from which they are supplied
the water can be introduced without
the least difficulty being experienced.
W hen the improvements that are now
under way are completed there will be
an abundance of water for bo.h do
inestic and mining purposes through
out the summer and Winter months.
Mr.. Ilarrub has received three NOR
Ster redwood tanks from San Franci :
60. within the past tew days, manutac-
tured to order, the capacity of which is
$1,000 gallons. The dimensions of
each of these tanks are: across the bot
tom 20 feet, top Is feet, and the depth
II feet; thus giving each OF them Il
holding capacity of 5000 gallons. In
addition to these there are two other
tanks. erected by Mr.. Clark, capable of
holding $4,000 gallons which, with the
above, will give IL total holding power
of l20,000 gallons of pure spring Wal
ter. 1t is expected that there will be
enough progress made towards com-
pletion to allow of the water being
turned on for useabout the LIST OF May.
\. piece of ground S0x"4 feet is already
graded to Il depth OF seven feet from
the surface on the side of the hill fac
ing the X X and Consolidated works.
The aforesaid tanks are to be placed,
during the next day or two, in this ex-
cavatiun and are to be placed sufficient
ly far apart to allow of the spaces be-
tween them being tightly and firmly
patched So as To prevent expansions;
though of that there annot be much
fear, seeing that the stones, which are
81. inches thick. are bound together
with 2'2-inch iron hoops. We con-
graduate the inhabitants of our noun =
ain nciglbor upon the hopes thai
awaits them Of being plentifullv del
uGed with SO essential an element as
water.
BURGLARS At WoEK.-The frequent
occurrence of late of the many robber-
les in our midst, and the skill shown
in leaving no clue for detection should
he sufficient warning to IL residents
to carefully guard their houses
and rooms both day and night. At
about 10 o'clock last night q, G or more
burglars effected an entrance INFO the
lodging house of Mrs. Denver and alb
Stiar:ed Il number Otartic,eS of ieWelrN
and aquantity of money, in all to the
value of 500. They were taken from
the drawer of Il small cabinet in the
room of Mrs. Denver, who was in one
of the front rooms of the building at the
time The thief must have been we'll
posted as to the locality of The .jewclry,
as nothing but the drawer WAS di>-
turbc,l. ard this placed on the steps
outside AIDING from the rear of the
building. Parties can not be too care
full of their premises, @ must they
rely too much on the officers as
there are but two Oh duty, and they
cannot be in all places at once.
Mooney and Johnson are vigilant and
ever on the alert to find some clue for
an arrest. 1t is to he hoped that the
lady robbed will become rcpo>scs>ed
of her lost treasures.
