THE SAND BARs.-The San Joaquin, No
Is, barge grounded on the Y-street bar
coming up yesterday, and the Governor
Dana pulled Der over The same steamer
had her regular job to perform in helping
the San Fra1 cisco passenger steamer. The
Harriet. while running down the river
with barge Saturday night, got into
trouble at the Sacramento and Yolo bridge,
her barge getting aground while trying to
pass through the draw, and remaining fast
for several lours. Captain Foster thinks
the Y-street bar could be cut away by the
use of stear her in about two DAYS, so as to
give depth of Al feet, but it is question
whether the improvement would last long
enough to warrant the expense, especially
as the first beat that happened to get out of
the channel and run aground would prob
ably cause the channel to fill M. Early
last week CAPTAIN Foster. with the steamer
Governor Dana, in about fifteen hours
work, occupying parts of two days, in
creased the depth of water in the channel
over Fremont lar, below the mouth of
Feather river, from three feet TO four. and
at the lower { dye increased the depth to six
feet, he thinks more work will have to be
done there soon, as the sand rolling along
the bottom OF the river is apt TO make the
channel close up. The steamer Seller
worked at tliS bar o few weeks ago, and
left depth OF -four feet of water when she
went away. Captain Foster is of the opin-
ion that the working of a steamers wheel
can be made to clear channel as success
fully as a dreiger.
