REMARKS BY THE COURT.

Since writing tho foregoing findings,
the elaborate brief by Defendants coun-
sci has been received and carefully ex-
amined, but nothing therein convinces
the Court that the foregoing findings or
decree should be changed. 1t has been
difficult for the Court to arrive at the
quantity of water which the enlarged
Conner Ditch had the first right to that
is to arrive at the quantity OF water which
Defendants 20 inches and Defendants
three fltths and Defendants two fifths
made, so that that quantity might be de-
creed to be sold. Whatever quantity of
water and rights the parties Plaintiff and
Defendants to this action own as co-part-
ners or tenants in common should bo or
dercd sold by the decree in this case.-
This fact has been rendered the more diff
fcult from the reason that the Defendants
have taken the most of their shares OF
water through upper bitches, taking the
water from Conner Creek Mt various dis
tances above the head of the Conner
ditch for 10 or 10 years, and consequent
ly the Conner Ditch not being required
to carry all the waters belonging to the
CO. partners, has filed up considerably.

LIKE OLD TlMEs.-The Chinese of
Evans Bar have built large double
bearing water wheel to furnish water for
+helr mine at that place. We believe
this to be the only wheel now in the coun-
~. The sight of it carried us back to
The days Of 1S60-6l, when the river was
Aimed with works of this character, there
being one or more at almost every bar
where there was not natural water priy-
llege. Some of the wheels of that day
were marvels of workmanship, costing
thousands of dollars. But the great food
OF the last-named year sounded the knell
OF wheel building. Not one was left on
'on the whole length OF the river, and the
.thgry waters had so changed the face of
the different bars that in many caaes
Claims which had in the fall been valued
At thousands of dollars were soon aban-

TOWN AND COUNTY.

A MODEL CLAIM last week
Visited the well known claim Of Chap
man a. Fisher at Arkansas Dam. We
never visit this claim without a genu-
ine feeling Of admiration for the enter
sprse Of its prop ictors. We do not
hesitate to say that it is the best ap
pointed claim in the county, and that
many of our miners could not fail to
proft by visit to it and in pection of
ihe method IN which it has been devel-
oped. The claim has been worked sue
ccsstully for several years, last year the
water held out so well that the yield
WAS much greater than before, added
b which it was in far better shape for
euccesslul working. Thus far this sea-
BON the water supply has been light
but Il considerable ground is already
stripped and we do not doubt the claim
fwil give II good account Of itself in the
iSpring.
The great obstacle to rapid work has
heretofore been the number and size of
the rocks Which are found the whole
depth of the bank. These large rocks
zaro SO numerous that force of half
~ doz,n men is kept constantly EN-
ployed in blasting and breaking INTO
Apieces small enough to pass through the
hume. The firm is now engaged in the
erection Of derrick by which it is
hoped that a great deal of this blasting
and breaking will be avoided. The
Sweep of the derrick will have IL swing
Sof about seventy feet, and it will be
4set MS close to the bark as possible.
We understand the cost of this improve
,aent will be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
The claim is run night and day, the
water being turned from one "ginnt "
70 the other or put on and shut of
without leaving the bedrock. The res
Frvolr Is also opened and shu. by means
&ot wlndlass, greatly simplifying night
work. With II pressure of nearly 200
ieet on the giants they do great execution
IN the heavy gravel bank.
4 We went into the bedrock ditch and
hume which are on scale cOmmensu-
rate with the character of the mine. The
flume is six feet wide and the principal
under current twenty four. A new un-
der current was put in this year leading
out of the upper hume. The yield from
the undercurrent lHst year was in the
neighborhood of $4,000, most of which
would have been lost without it. Start
ing from the main bed rock ditch the
firm has run bed rock tunnel the past
summer which taps the bank 240 feet to
one side. In this tunnel fume is laid
lined with rocks, ready for use as soon rs
the bank is washed away to where the
" incline" comes through the rock.
