The capacity of the tank, which appeared to be full, is ruarked at 100000 pounds, and the car itself is heavy one. Two or three passenger trains were delayed fer sev- eral hours.

4 Hard Proposition.

John GandOlfo, ST., made q trip to tho lower Imperial, intake yesterday in a s!Iiff-that is to say, he started in a sliff with two Indians to do the row. ing, but one of them jumped the game, and most of the trip was made in a passing gasoline launch. Mr. Gandolfo, who went to the intake week ago, could note but little, if any. progress in the closing Of the intake. Both tbc government and the Southern Pacific Company have representatives there constantly, taking measurements of the flow, and both agree that there is now about = per cent of the water in the river going through the intake. It is also generally conceded all around that they are up against a tough propoSi- tiOn.
 George Sexsmith, foreman for the California Development Company, re- ported yesterday that another break in the river had fjeen discovered further down the river. It is hardly possible that the intake can be closed until the Colorado reaches it's lowest stage The gange at the bridge today showed less than 2l feet, with the river falling fast.
