Nevada Loses a 5oo-yard Strip.

San FRANCISCO, November 1.-The
Examiner says: c. H. Sinclair OF the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey has just returned from the
vicinity of Lake Tahoe; where, since
July last he has had charge of the
survey work to determine the cor
rect boundary line between California
and Nevada.
The old surveys of Surveyor Gen
eral Houghton in 1858, of Won
Schmltt in 1873, and Mimic and
Grunsky in 1899 have not been ac-
cepted as satisfactory, and under
Professor Davidson's supervision the
true line is being determined now.
The new line will take strip about
ooO yards wide off the State of Neya-
da, and the maps being prepared by
the present survey will give COM
plete typographical and astronomical
details of the country. They form
part of the great scheme of maps
that will ultimately cover the entire
territory of the United States.

Two Deaths.

George Smith and his daughter
Sarah Smith, residents of Pleasant
Valley, near the city of Washoe, died
last Friday morning at a quarter to 3
o'clock. George Smith, who was
nearly three score years and ten, died
of old age; his daughter died ofpneu-
monia brought on by grippe, with
which she had suffered for some time.
The death of both occurred at nearly
or quite the same moment and in the
same house, where they both lived,
which is regarded as a remarkable
and unusual coincidence.

Progress OF Work Upon the Buildings.
The moline.
The Board of Directors Of the Mozart
Park Association held a meeting Tues
day evening. The proposed incline
from the Park to the head OF Forty
third street was under consideration. 1t
is understood that the Board is about
ready to place the contract for the con-
struCtion of the incline, to be finished
and in operation by May 18th. Some
trouble was experienced, however, re-
gardirg the cable, which may have to
be secured from another company. The
incline will require cable about 1900
feet in length.
Work upon the buildings is progress
ing as rapidly as the weather will per-
nit. Kleves, Kraft & Co. have large
force OF carpenters on the grounds, and
a great many visitors drop in to notice
the progress of the work. Last Sun
dav there were several hundred visit
ors. Next Sunday the Directors and
many OF the stockholders will climb
the hill. The main building is nearly
finished, and may be under roof by that
time.
Henry Schmuloach, ESQ, is in Pitts
burg, concluding negotiations for the
construction of the incline.

THE CITY GAS WORKS.
THE ANNUAL ESTIMATE SUBMITTED LAST
EVENING.
The Board Unable 10 Meet the Extraordinary Ex-
peDsss of Last Year Out Of the Receipts and
Thirty Thousand Dollars is Asked
from the City Treasury.

For three or four months past 1t has
been known that in closing up its busi-
ness for the calendar year 1892 the city
Gas Board found itself unable to meet
all Of its obligations, and that coal
bill Of about $1,000 had been carried
over to the present fiscal year.
This was not unexpected, in view OF
the fact that the gross receipts OF the
works were but about $4,000, from
which extraordinar expenses Of $780,
253.44, in addition to over $1,000 in gas
furnished the city buildings, had TO be
deducted. The Board, however, succeed
ed in meeting all of these expenditures,
but to do so il was forced to let SIT, 3S6.-
% of a coal bill lie over. This, Of
course, will throw the Board behind
again this year, aud in order to tide the
matter over the Board asks for $50, 200
from the city treasury in some form.
Last evening the Board and the
Council Committee on Lights met at the
City Hall, and the following statement
was submitted from the Board to the
Joint session.
