Warden Aull submitted his report for
the months Of May and June 1t was re-
ceived and approved. The report, which
is very elaborate, shows that the work on
the dam and the canal is progressing
rapidly. Three large power drills and one
small one have been put in operation and
are of great advantage in pushing the
work. The Southern Pacific Company,
during the last three months, has been sup
piled with 3 300 carloads of refuse granite,
which has been shipped to Sacramento and
used by the company east of the shops.
Stone steps for the State Normal School at
| Chico were shipped on the 18th of Nav.
Rough granite is now being qusrried for
the stone steps at the State Capitol in Sac
ramento. The report concludes with re-
view OF the discipline of the prisoners and
the sanitary condition of the prison. He
says that in August last convict George
Ross escaped and was captured on the 5Jh
| OF last month, in Seattle, w. T. Ross was
| the only prisoner who escaped during the
wear. Out of an average of $50 prisoners
| for the year, six deaths only have &C.
curred-one was killed while trying to es-
cape, another died from injuries received
| In jumping from car, third was killed
by a falling derrick and three died from
disease. This shows the death rate to be
per cent of the population. The Warden
adds that the farm IS now supplying large
amount OF the vegetables used and that in
few years they will be enabled to grow
all the vegetables, etc, required.
The following communication was re-
ceived by the Board, which is self. explana-
tory
