MRS. BUCKLEY's CONCERT.

From the great interest that is seemingly
manifested in this concert, which will be- given
on Monday evening next In st. PItricks Hall,
we are sure that 1t will prove not only great
success artistically. but also financially.
BY the programme. which appears in an
other column it will be seen that several novel
features have been introduced. Besides, the
other talented vocalsts who lend their resppc-
tive charms to the occasion, the worthy benef-
c1ary gives additional attractions by her fine
person and the splendor of her voi"e a noble

John p. Culver, one OF the proprie-

has been surveying the situation at the
head of the fame. He informs us that
considerable water sinks in the creek
above the reservoir. and by extending
the fume a mile farther up the canyon
the water supply can be increased four
fold. Material will at once be hauled
on the ground and work commenced.
The proprietors of the works are detsrs
mined to supply the town with water If
it can be had in the mountains. 1t is
expected that there will be plenty of
water for aA'purposes within week.
