LITTLE DAMAGE IN rEHAMA.
Heavy Rain in Mountains Likely to
Cause Rise in the River.


RED BLUFF. Feb. 26-The dam
age from high water in Tehama
County is comparatively light. Red
Bluff is situated fifty feet above river
level and is in no danger Of a food.
There was a heavy rainfall last night
and to-day. but the Sacramento River
fell slowly and stood at eighteen feet
at dusk this evening, compared with
twenty-eight feet three inches ten
days ago. 1t is raining heavily in the
mountains and the next twenty-four
hours may see a decided change in
the river. Antelope Valley east of
here was cut off except by communi-
cation by boat, for several days until
this afternoon owing to high water
in the slough east of the Sacramento
bridge. Tehama County has about
twenty steel bridges across it's streams,
but none of these has been damaged
seriously except the approaches. Pitts
& Sons of Bloody Island lost nineteen
head of cattle and one to two hundred
hogs by the recent flood. The cattle
and sheep on the Cone ranch pas
tured on islands in the Sacramento
River were moved to high ground be-
fore the high water came.
United States Weather Observer
Maurice Connell has been very active
in issuing warnings of approaching
high water, thus enabling the farm
ers to move their stock out of dan
ger, and as far south as Colusa his
warnings have been most timely and
highly appreciated. The rainfall for
this season to date is about equal to
that at the same time last season.
Grass is growing rapidly and the out
look for cattle, sheep and hogs is most
promising.

SALINAS. Feb. 26.-Rain COM
menced falling here at 1880 O'Clock to-
night and is accompanied by light
southeast wind. The prospects are
good for a steady fall all night. The
southern part of the county has had
no rain during the present storm. The
rain of the early part of the week
averaged about half an inch for most
points in the Salinas Valley. A mod
crate rain with continued warm wea-
ther gives good prospects for the sea-

married admitted as much, but said
he expected to secure divorce shortly.

RECENT OPERATIONS.

According to the Amador Dispatch
the sixty stamps of the Oneida mill
are dropping regularly for the first
time since May. 1902, with good in
dications. The new mill at the Bun
ker Hill mine at Amador City has be-
gun operations. The Nevada County
Miner reports that the Union Hill
mine, near Grass Valley, is at work.
The Miner says:
Few people know that work is being carried
on at the Union Hill mine, Grass Valley The
mine was practically suspended several months
ago when the pumps were stopped. But since
that time superintendent Creller has been
working It in quiet manner. VI course this Is
being full OF water prevents any deep mining
in the main works. A tunnel has been driven
After going quite a distance they intersected
a vein which parallel with the old Union
Hill vein which made the mine famous in
the early days. Considerable work has been
done on 1t and in many places the results
have been very gratifying.
The Grass Valley Union reports that
the Allison Ranch mine has been
bonded. The underground workings
are full of water, which is flowing out
of the shaft. rumor that the prop
erty is under bond to the Empire
Company is denied. The Mining and
Scientific Press gives the following ac-
count of proceedings at the Gwin mine
in Calaveras County:
The main and south shafts are sunk to a
depth of 1000 and 1000 feet respectively and
the hoist and mill of 100 stamps in opera
ton In addition to the gold saved the
plates there are forty Frue vanners collecting
concentrates. Both the hoist and mill are
run by water the former having head of
$50 feet and the latter 400 feet. After using
the water for these purposes it is carried one
mile down the gulch and there reused to
compress air for the drills and pumps. As
a safety measure a boiler plant of three boil
ers has been completed to furnish steam in
case anything should prevent use of water.
The hoist at the main shaft is double. having
lifting capacity of four tons 1000 feet at the
rate of 1900 feet per minute. The gallows
frame is all steel and measures lis feet in
height from the collar of the shaft to the
roof The ore is dumped from the skips on
two rock breakers and then automatically
loaded into three-ton cars and trammed ny
mules into the mill At present the ore be-
ing treated is taken from the 1900 and 100
foot levels crosscut is being run for the
ledge at the 19O0-foot Level. The shoot being
worked is sixty feet in width. There are $50
men at work The water from the mine is
handled with pumps. operated by compressed
air. with a capacity Of 250. 900 gallons per
twenty-four hours. and in easr of temporary
disability to them two skipS used that
hoist each 1000 gallons.

ANTIOCH, Feb. 26.-There is great
apprehension felt for the safety of the
levees on Sherman Island owing to
the high water and the fact that the

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26.-The rain
which visited the northern part of the
State did not reach San Diego and this
latitude is still wanting it. The pre-

present indications do not bear out the
predictions. Rain is badly needed by
ranchers and almost every one else.

DAMAGED BY MUD.


Sixteenth and Folsom streets, suffered
perhaps the greatest damage by the
flood. It's entire premises were over
flowed and much damage was done to
its plant, including a valuable set OF
scales which. it is believed, were ruined
by the water and mud that rushed in
from the street.
Down at the Seventeenth-s street police
station, which was an island in the
midst Of a lake. the officers in going
and coming had to be hauled in patrol
wagon to and from their headquarters.
Many and loud were the complaints
of Mission residents against the Board
of Public Works, because of the sewers
blocked with filth, no attempt to re-
move which having been made in
weeks. Hundreds of overflowed cellars
are the result Of this neglect on the
part of the board, and loss of property
with unlimited possibilities of sickness
will be charged to the same cause.
Among the heaviest losers are the
owners of saloons and corner groceries
in the flooded district. One of the suf-
ferers, Henry Kleen, grocer at Six
teenth and Folsom streets, said last
night:
1 have repeatedly called the attention of
the Board of Public Works to the fact that
the Folsom-street sewer at this point is filled
with dirt 1 have doubt there is ten feet
of solid earth in the manhole outside my
house The result Of the boards failure to
do anything in answer to my complaints was

II the sewers had been properly cleaned at
reasonable intervals there would have been
no trouble whatever from such compara-
lively slight rainfall as we had to-day.
The submerged streets remained
flooded. for several hours after the rain
stopped, but by midnight they were,
with few exceptions, free from any
large amount of standing water. The
cellars will require some days, however,
70 empty of their foul contents, and in
MANY cases this will have to be done
by pumping them out by hand.
The rush of water and mud was so
great at the corner of Union and Baker
streets. down the hill, that it threw
the wire cable of the street railway off
from three of the pulleys and stopped
cars for an hour. The conduit had to
be opened for a long distance and the
solid mass OF mud dug out This is
said to be the first time such a thing
has happened in the city.

: STREETS ARE FLOODED.
Homes in the Mission Are Inundated
Much Damage Done.

Rain and wind swept the streets of
San Francisco yesterday afternoon,
making 1t the worst day pedestrians
have seen this winter. The rainfall was
only half an inch, but what the water
lacked in volume was more than made
up by the velocity with which the
storm drove il under umbrellas and
into faces. In some parts of the city
the streets were flooded, street cars
stopped, cellars overfiowed and damage
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars was done.
The worst sufferers from the torrent
We're the residents Of the Mission Along
Folsom street, between Fourteenth and
Nineteenth. and extending a block east
and west the land is low, and the
sewers, long neglected by the Board of
Public Works, proved wholly Unequal
to the task of carrying off even so
small a food. All along Folsom street.
in the section named, the manhole- caps
were thrown off by the force of the
water, and streams shot six or eight
feet into the air.
The women and children living in
John Center's four one-story cottages,
on the west side of Folsom street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth, were
carried out of their homes on the backs
of employees of the Works Board. The
ground here is low, and the cottages
were surrounded by several feet Of
water, which rose indoors high enough
to put out the fires in kitchen stoves.
Farther west. at Fifteenth and Shot
well streets, the thoroughfare was
flooded two feet deep, and every cellar
for blocks was full of water. On Folsom
street, owing to the depth of water,
1t was necessary for the street railway
company to provide planks on which
passengers might pass from the side
walks to the cars and vice versa. At
last, however, the water became so deep
as to interfere with the electric power
and the cars were stopped altogether
