The route four ami a half utiles having two feet fall per utile, which would leave the water at the bend of Fifth street alaiut fourteen feet higher tbau the railroad track. A ditch mx feet wide on ton and two at the botpjiu, aluMwo.feet deep, will require l.Gtil cubic yards of excavation per uiile, at au exjM ns? of 18 to 20 oenta jwr yard. The sagebrush ia thick in places, and an a culvert would be required under the railroad, the surveyors estimate the cost, atone dollar per rod, including a small dam at the bead of the ditch, at 91,440. If the water can be brought here at tlioae figures. Elko in time cnu be made to 1 present the appearance of Bait Lake City.

The animals were valuable oues, and were the property I of a uiau named Erway, upon whom the losa falls heavily.
