This, however, required local. This is a rather to answer, but il is not to Koon to 3t8rMai Franrisro. From a gentlcDian who recently paid a visit to the Bay, a GAZETTE reporter learned that it is reported and generally believed at San Francisco that an Eastern firm has already secured the land acd water right near that city, ttiey purpose putting up a plant to cost for the manufacture of ice. The water to he used is to be boiled and settled and all sediment removed, leaving it absolutely pure. This tirm is said to guarantee to furnish ice in blocks 12x12 inches at $2 75 i or ton, and, in addition to this low rate, they have already let a contract for the construction of 10,000 refrigerators, or ice- chestg, which are to be furnished gratis to all consumers.

These refrigerators are to be neatly constructed with a cooler," or receptacle for water when the ice melts, which, on account of its purity and cleanliness, will bo used for drinking. Should this scheme be consummated, it cannot fail to have a very depressing effect upon the ice business of the Truckee river. supposed that, the Administration has a i against Nevada or her people.

BY HU'H WATER. OwenH iilvt-r Cannl Considerably The Inyo Independent says: The lieadgate of the Eastside canal was found in place the flood in Owens river subsided. The banks of the canal at and above the headgate are badly cut away by the flood, and Mr. Mclvcr says it will be a difficult and expensive job to repair the damage. The expense would have been vastly greater if the gate had gone, with the further probability of not being able to get in another gate before next fall.

The framing of the gate was made in a very thorough manner and this alone prevented much greater damage. On the Stevens ditch a great deal of damage was done. Unfortunately the canal runs for a loug distance along the edge of a steep bank where breaks frequently occur and have so far been a constant source of expense. Last year the bank gave way at a critical time and crops were lost in consequence of want of water. In the event of floods the liability to damage is increased.
