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. Debris dama will stand.” Saas 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, 2 i» Advertised sed Letters.
