week. Logs have been sawed at Thax-
ter's mill at All average rate Of one log
in two and one half minutes during an
entire half day. This Of course Is an
exceptional speed and was attained
under a voluntary pressure by the
men u see what they could do. When
We consider that each log was turned
and sawed on four sides before being
law -d into he required size Of iumoer,
All cut by one saw Tor two saws one

prisi"y. Aud the logs were taken out
III the lake meantime.

LOGGING CAMP.
Mr.. Gardner. a. the head of the lake,
is at work with a large eorce OF men
aud a rn;lr0ad, the second year, on
contract for delivering i'll rats on the
lake sixty million feet OF logs.
TIE time to complete this contract we
understand is four years. He - rap
id v telling one OF the handsomest for
ests on the lake shore. Soon the car
riaye drive between Rowiand's and
Nank's stations will be shOrn OF much
Of it's present attractiveness. In tact
the beauty Of that drive is already
much less than II was tw" years since.
U. s. SURVEYING.
The surveying party vt the lake COM
menced work on Monday last, prepar
atn,y TO a thorough survey OF Lake
Tahoe. The first movement made
was for the establishment of eighteen
Il ags at different points on the shore
80 that all can be seen from one point.
For this purpose a complete tour OF
the shore nv land is now being made
by a portion of the party. On Tues
day this detachment established q flag
station at tue Ia,lac House. les'er-
dar they were at Emerald Bay. Busl-
ness called Lieutenant Wheeler to
San Francisco on Monday. but he VIII
return in q few days and remain until
tho completion of the work. II IL
Thought three weeks time will be
sufficient for this purpose.
THE NEXT SEASON.
The present season, now near It's
close. to those resident on the lake
vino keen places OF resorC for tourists,
has been the dullest known for years.
The weather has been unusually cold
aud windy. Then the Centennia! Ex-
hibition at Philadelphia is thought to
have had the effect OF keeping travel
ers from mountain ( scnr>ionS. A
great increase of business and travel
over the PRESENT yaar about the lake
is confider ~ expect sd to take place
next year.

to hand. They illustrate in very s'rik-
