modern rifles, have attacked a Rus

(Haicheng is 80 miles east by north

West Point. The following particulars
are given by the Prospect:
The Sierra Nevada Water and Power Com

Mokelurane River are quietly at work carrying
out a stupendous project between Railroad
Flat and W est Point. In addition to the vest
ed rights of the old Clark system they have
bought other interests in the vicinity. and are
at work now in improving the property.
We understand that the plans Of the COM

South Fork of the Mokelumne River below
the junction of the Licking Fork This dam Is
to be $50 feet in height and will flow back the
waters of both the South and Licking forks,
covering the Congdon ranch property. and
