it was necessay to cut loose from the base
of supplies, and where there was not ~only
no enemy upon whom to forage, but—no,
nothing. ‘
He knows more about the South Yuba
Canal—was one of the projectors of the
Bear river and Auburn canal—than any
other man. as he perhaps had more to do
with its projection and construction, including its adjuncts and appendages, from
first to last, from Alpha te Omega, than any
other man. He mainly did the pioneer
work of the enterprise; was Caleb and
Joshua combined, spying out the land, much
of itso familiar now but little known at
that early day; bringing back the goodly
report, with specimens of the grapes of
Eshool, and belittling the sons of Anak.
Locating, and making legal claim to, valuable water rights by posting notices. _ And
when deemed especially valuable even chiseling the notices into the face of the living
rock, where the enduring lettering may be
read to this day. And making running
eye surveys of proposed canal routes, with
estimates of probable cost. And most if
not all of this hard preliminary work done
at some risk of life and limb, of his own
motion and at his own charges.
The information thus hardly gained’ laid
before the Company; the scheme made to
look not only feasible but surely profitable,
and absolutely essential to the developement
of the mining industry between the South
Yuba and Bear rivers, and even including
tothe North Fork of the American river—
though the Dutch Flat and Gold Run
branch was @ seven-year-Jatter enterprise if
not afterthought—and the project persistently urged till the members of the Company were inspired with the like abounding
faith—this was the origin of the South
Yuba Canal, which, as I once heard him
say, will be of untold benefit to that part of
California as leng as ‘‘grass grows and water
flows.”
__ And not only did he du the pioneer. work

Devil's Peak and Meadow Lake, and the
other lakes draining into the forks of the

snows are gone— and superintended the donincluding that last and greatest of them all,

was a very polite and accommodating darkey, but loved strong drink. Some years
ago he was a servant for one of the ex-Governors of Nevada. When here he blacked
