TEE CITY SEWERS.
The System Proposed to he Constructed
AZ q Beginning.

II
The City Engineer has not etformulated
any system OF sewers for the city. he had
q communication to the Council on the
subject ON Wednesday evening. but the
lateness Of the hour prevented it being
read. Yesterday afternoon, he was seen
at his Office and asked about the system Of
sewerage he proposed.
ST have not perfected any system, nor do
I think any perfected system win be needed
for ten years yet. 1t would take couple
Of months work to prepare that. The
Council has NO occasion to wait for any
such elaborate plans as that. What they
want to do now is to construct central
sewers on Main and Montana streets and
laterals connecting with them. It will be
sale to 60 ahead with that for the present.
There is one matter that think the Coun-
Gil should give attention to the first thing
and that il arching over the Buffalo Gulch
drain from Copper street south. As it il
now there is danger, if a cloud burst should
occur at Centerville, OF the houses and
oellars shout Utah street bsing disastronsly i
flooded. The gulch is arched over withY
stone in places, and is partly SO on Utah
0oAOOVs UuC JuSV UC11uO Ihuh 6UOIO dt O20
corner OF Utah and Broadway the drain is
carried through a wooden box which is fall
ing to pieces. Should an old barrel or stick
be carried down the drain and lodge in the
timbers OF this box, ss it is very apt to do,
then all the rubbish behind it will soon
block the drain, and the street and every.
thing in the .neighborhood hes got to 60.
The Council ought to order this drain
arched-in all the way down from Copper
street to the city limits, and ditch dug
from the railway track at Centerville to
Gulch to turn aside the effects OF
such a mischance."
Where will the sewage be emptied into?"
Well I don't see any other course at
present than to allow it to empty into
Silver Row Greek. don't think it could
contaminate that stream any worse than
it is st present"
Would your plan involve making that
the permanent receptacle of the city's
sewage?"
"Until some energetic protest was made
a change. In any system
of city drainage I would recommend
separation OF surface drainage and sew
age. 1t would be less expensive too. The
'ewers to carry off sewage would have to
oe sunk about fifteen feet below grade to
Train from Easements, and would consist
II cement or vitriied clay pipes, while for
he present at any rate cutters will answer
III purposes for surface drainage"

Senator Stewart, asking upon what au-
thority and information the Commissioner
of the General Land Office bases his as.
sertion that the amendment introduced
by the Senator was really in the interest of
the mining corporations and against the
interest of the settlers.
In one of these communica tions the
commissioner says that no suits had
been recommended in Nevada, except
against two powerful and wealthy corpora
tions, and these have been based, not
upon informers' testimony, but on
REPORTS OF SPECIAL AGENTS
OF departments. He characterizes as
groundless the complaint that special
agents act as spies upon the people Of
Nevada, and says no special agents were
in Nevada for several years until they were
sent there to investigate the facts in cases

ing companies for the unlawful cutting of

He reiterates his statement that the pro.
