Much interest is now centered in the
dam, for on it depends partly one of the
principal features of the carnival, the night
fete on the river. The advice of old miners.
civil engineers and others familiar with
dam building has been sought. The con-
glomeration of suggestions has been sifted
down into practicable ideas, so that they
could be utilized, and the result will be a
dam which will withstand the tide Work
on it is progressing with vigor. From
San Francisco 5000 more sacks have been
ordered. These will be filled with sand
and placed on the dam.
