Thus the information contained in 50,000 volumes was compressed into go vol umes.
 And until this volum, was publish ed the results of his vast efforts and expenditures could only be purchased as a whole. But such large num5er of our people were so anxious to ob- tai:l this volume separate from the full set. that the publishers finally consent e'I to deviate from their former rule, 2 nd give this matchless production the widest possible circulation. This will prove of the greatest benefit to our people, and of the highest qualification to the world at large. for there are few anywhere who are not interested in our wondrous story.
 The work is deserving of the most liberal support. It should be in the hands of every man and woman throughout the land. As author and historian MT. Bancroft is second to none living. Says the British Quar- terly Review. mo historian has more faithfully painted his heroes, both in light and shade, than Mir. Bancroft. In this he shows the rarest power, for he preserves relations, and makes the more marked traits in the one empha size and relieve the contrasted traits in the other" Indeed, the press every where are reviewing the work in the highest terms. The Boston Traveller, of May 13, 1889, thus closes a column article: The coming States of New Mexico and Arizona are under heavy obligations to Mr. Bancroft for this volume, which, without exaggeration,
 
 is the most valuable contribution of tie year to American history"

THE contemplated Buttes reservoir situated near Florence, if finished, will discount in size the JOhnstown affair, which was considered the larg- est in the United States. The Enter prise says: A comparison of this reserviOr with the one proposed at the Buttes. just above this place, may be interesting. This reservior will be ten miles long by an average of two miles wide, and can be made to contain an average depth of eighty feet of water, or more than forty -four billions of cubic feet of water against about eleven billions for the Johus- town reservoir. The latter could be placed in our Butte reservoir and be- come utterly lost in the vast area. The dam required to restrain all this volume of water need be but two hundred feet long and one hundred and twenty-five feet high, built in the solid rock on the bottom and sides the enormous pressure of the water being borne by the natural rocks that bar the progress of the river at thi; point excepting the narrow gorge through which it meanders. Wher this grlnd enterprise is completed i
 will by all odds be the greatest reser voir in the known world.

LAKE TAHOE.
Notes from All Around the
Health Resort.

The Truckee Republican has the
following notes from Lake Tahoe:
The weather has been most in
clement during the past few weeks.
Rain, then light fall of snow, a
few pleasant days. and then fur
GUS wind prevailed TO- several days
which was a regular hurricane.
and at the present time squalls are
frequent, with no prospect of set
tied weather.
The Lake is receeding fast, and
tie Truckee river is reduced to a
mere creek in consequence.
Fishing was never better. Hun
dreds OF ponn.s have been shipped
during the past month. The aver
age weight is from three to FIVE
pounds, and there is frequently a
ten 2ounder.
Most OF the logging camps are
running with a full complement.
They are now rafting logs that were
banked last Fall. About four rats
a week are sent across the Lake,
and the supply does not quite meet
the demand. Two steamers do the
towing-the Emerald and the Me-
teor.
Wednesday the mail steamer
makes the last trip on the Winter
schedule. The next six months we
have daily mail 1t is a remark
able tact that during the Winter
schedule the steamer missed but
one trip Ga its regular day. The
mild Winter greatly favored Davi
CATION on the Lake.
The new steamer so much talked
OF has proved to be a myth, and
the old rotten Niagara is being re-
paired for towing purposes it is
stated, but is the opinion Of many
that it is past redemption.
The Supervisors have at last come
to the rescue OF the Tahoe people,
and reduced the rate of toll on the
road between Tahoe and Truckee.
1t has been a gross outrage for
years. Several efforts have been
made in that direction before, but
without success, and one of our
oldest citizens made noble eff ont
at his own expense to have the rate
reduced, and law suit was the re-
suit without victory, and loss Of
several thousand dollars. j. B.
Scott, of Squaw Valley, finally sue
ceeded IN having the reduction
made, and Tahoe is rejoicing over
his success.

ny house will shortly open Hotel

TRoTTING SToCK.-Carson was
never SO full OF trotting stock SIS at

makes any pretentions to being
horse lovers, has a trotting colt,
breaking it in and these colts are

then went up street, and was short
ly afterwards followed by Miller and
Egan. When Crosby arrived near
his house, Miller stepped up to him
ana taxing him by the coat collar
said: "Look at my ear where you
struck me; this thing must be set
tied right here" Then Egan step
ped up and said to Mnler: "Why
don't you give it to him ?" 1t was
at this juncture that Crosby fred
the two shots with the above re-
suits.
Crosby also says that he was told
that Miller had threatened to kill
him, and that he had better have
him arrested, but he declined to
DO so.
