Our Postmaster received orders on
Friday last to discontinue the mail
route between Mineral Park and Ell
Dorado Canyon This is very easy
matter to do, considering that no
mail has ever been carried over ii
since the route was establish cd

square miles aud 20 feet deep. How
long a supply it would be necessary
to keep on hand in order to guaran-
tee a steady supply Is a question that
experience would best settle. How
this immense tankage may be pro-
cured is question for the civil en-
gineer. The acreage supply of Wa
ter out ofthe Grand Canal has cost,
the past year, about rs cents. AT
so cents an acre for 100000 acres, the
gross iac2mc would be $25O,o00,
Which would give 5 per cent on
So, coo, 900, and less than that amount
by 81 100000 would undoubtedly do
the work. PRosPECToR.
