SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 16.-Fice
President Robert Watt of the San Joa-

firm the report that Point Richmond,
Contra Costa county. had been selected
as a terminus for the San Joaquin Val
ley road, volunteered the information
that the company had a surveying party
in the field endeavoring to locate ia
yorable route for the proposed line be-
tween Stockton and a point on the bay
north of Oakland
"The surveying party has only been
in the field few days" said he, "a nd as
yet we have no definite information as
to whether line can be built with easy
grades through the hills to the north
of Oakland. 1t may take us two months

will suit our purposes. | do not mind

A FAMOUS OLD BEGLE.

A rare old curiosity is temporarily in
the possession of the Kentucky Histor-
ical society at Frankfort. It is a bugle
made of two slabs of cedar about three
siXteenths of an inch in thickness and
bent into a funnel-shaped horn. The
bell, or mouth, is thirteen and one-half
inches in circumference. 1t is hooped
with coW-horn rings and iron bands. The
bugle is the property Of Mrs. Anna May
hall. granddaughter of the late Capt.
Robert Collins, who was a soldier in the
war of 1S12-15. 1t was used in the cam
paing of Col. Richard NJ. Johnson and
was at the death Of Tecumseh. Capt.
Collins was bugler for the regiment and
this instrument he used during the war
and which ordered the famous charge of
Col johnson. Capt. Collins was a me-
chanical genius, and with his own hands
made the instrument. Every morning
at sunrise he walked the neighbors for
miles around with his reveile call from
the bugle until his death in 1Se4-Frank-
fort (Ky) Call.

A Very Charming Feature CT
beautiful Old Mining Town of


leo.
The two great water-sn.,nly rese,v-
oirs of Guanajuato are feature of in
terest to every tourist who visits that
picturesque city. The older one. the
Presa de la ella, is formed by dam
ming the creek Of Guanajuato at the
upper end Of the ravine, just above the
city Here the valley widens little,
and the stream descending from the
mountains fills succession of reserv-
oirs, built one below the other in ter
races. Beside these reservoirs and
across the dams ccnfining them, winds
the road, and along the road are a
number of handsome residences, with
gardens and many trees. In this
charming place the band plays in after
moons and evenings of Sunday and
feast days.
The newest reservoir, or Presa de Ia
Esperanza, is more important work,
viewed from the standpoint of utility.
1t was formed by damming the upper
headwaters of one of the tributaries Of
the Santa Ana Creek, at point situ-
ated about twelve to fourteen miles
from the city. Conduits were laid to
connect it with the older reservoir, a
very difficult engineering feat which
entailed considerable loss of life. A
tunnel had to be constructed to carry
the water through a portion of the
course, and, being down-grade, it was
necessary to begin excavation at the
upper end. for the sake of ventilation.
The mouth of, the tunnel was opened
in the bed of a creek, ordinarily dry,
but subject to sudden freshets. as are
nearly all the barrancas and oanons of
Mexico during tire rainy season. One
day, while a large force Of men were
at work in the tunnel, cloudburst
took place in the mountains, suddenly
| flooding the tunnel and drowning the
| men.
