THE FIRST. RESERVOIR.
What the Government Proposes

collected, will be constructed In Nevada.
Lake Tahoe will be damned at the
point where IL empties into the True.

The dam will bs more than twenty
feet high and the level of tho lake will
be raised fully ten feet. The estimated
area OF this body OF water ls more than
900 square miles. aud it is believed that
By the construction of the dam and the
raising OF the lake level ten feet, suf.

Tho proposed system will consist OF
about $50 miles OF canals and another

What the Investor In a Mine
Wants TO Know.

The following very sensible article is
from the Mining and Scientific Press:
What the intending investors in q
mine wants to know is, how much met
al the ore contains, the amount of ore
availab BILE. the cost OF mining and OF re-
duction, and the probable length OF
time required to exhaust the visible
supply. He cares little about genesis
of the ore deposit, how the gold or sill
yer or copper or other metals came In
to the ore. He wants to know how to
get 1t out In the shortest possible time
at the least possible cost. II promo
ter's reports dwelt more with substan-
tial, pertinent facts and less with fancy
and unnecessary scientific Information,
the man with the money and he could
more quickly come to an understand
log. The majority OF mining reports
are full of technical phrases that are
simply bewilderirg to the average in
vestor.
