strength and durability. A dam for
holding water has to be constructed
sufficiently strong to resist the force
brought to bear by the weight of water; ‘The higher the dam the greatbo
erthe force and consequently the
stronger the dam would have to be
to resist it, Should the dam by avy
mvans break the whole water supply
would-almost immediately run out,
overflowing’ and flooding everything
in ite pathway. With a debris dam
this would not beso. The dan being builtin sections, allowing each
section to nearly fill with debris before being raised, would, greatly add
to the strength and durability of the .
dam. The volume of water behind
the dam creates the force the dam
has to resist.” If the dam capacity
for water is @i d by earthy
matter—debris—by three-fourths the
whole capacity ‘most certainly the
percentage in favor of the dam for resistance as compared with a, water
dam is very much in favor of a debris
dam. In case a break should occur . ’
in a debris dam only'the small supply of water could run out and without serious damage.
“If those persons and papers so
much opposed to debris dams on account of the danger of their breaking
and flooding the sections below wili
only take time to study the subject
they will discover their mistake.

A LOST HEIRESS,
Aftipanish Maiden Who Ran Away
to Nevada County. 1
The Republican says :
evening last, a Spanish widow lady
arrivedin Truckee from Virginia
City, in search of her fifteen-year-old
daughter, who she says. has been
missing over two weeks past. She
gives the name of Mrs. D. P. Rickey, and says her husband isa brother
of Hon. T. P. Rickey, State Senator
from Storey county. She tells the
following story : Two weeks ago last
Sunday morning, Mrs,” Rickey sent
her daughter to the baker’s for some
bread and groceries, and gave her
$5.25 to pay them, .The girl has not
been seen or heard from since. Mrs.
Rickey is confident the girl did not
sun away of her own accord, as she
did not take any clothing with her—
is fact it was only at the urgen
quest of Mrs, Rickey that she made
ny change in her toilet at-all, Mrs,
Rickey. has_ the. opinion. that._her
daughter was abducted by some one
who is keeping her whereabouts a seeret. The missing young lady’s right
name is Miss Theresa Peterkin, and
her mother claims that she is an
heiress to quite a fortune when she
comes of age. Her father owned: a’
large sugar plantation in the West
Indies. He died about nine years
ago, leaving an‘estate valued at about
$100,000. to be divided between five
children and his wife, who was left
sole executrix. No possible reason
can be'assizned for her sudden disap) nce, © “She always ‘seemed
and contented at home, was as
obedient'and prudentas the mother
“could desite, and is not known to
have any admirers among the youn,
men, whom she knew) She was wel
educated, and could speak and write
several languages. About two weeks
ago a young girl answering her destion, off the train at Truckee
pe remained over night. Constable
Teeter on Friday afternoon received
@ dispatch from GC.. W. Jones, at Reno, stating that the girl was’ somewhere on Lake Tahoe,and Mrs.
Rickey left for the Lake Saturday .
morning in search of her,

is both a luxury and a comfort, Its construction is neither complex or
