It has been-suggested by Grass ValW;C.-Randolph John Williams GC. W. Young J. B. Richmond ley parties that a continuous and ample supply of water for the mines there can be insured during the winter months if the South Yuba Canal Com~ pany will adopt the plan of covering their ditches with poles and brush so asto prevent the snow from getting into them. =~ A talk about G.

He says the covering plan is not practical for many reasors. The main ditch is where the worst troubles originate asarule, Although it is eight feet wide and carries a large body of water, a low temperature causes the formation of anchor ice which commences growing fcom both sides and the stream becomes a solid mass of ice in anincredibly short space of time. Then much annoyance is frequently oc¢asioned along the stretches of fluming, for ifthe water once commences overflowing during a ‘‘cold snap’’ it freezes on the outside of the boxes and as the mass of ice grows ~it extends into the flume with the result of effectually blocking it. A particularly bad place is the four-mile section of ditch from Quaker Hill down to Crystal Springs. Mr. Brown says the shutting off of the water supply is generally caused by the water freezing and not by snow. In his opinion any attempt at keeping up the flow by covering the ditches, would be a senseless waste of time. If an accident should occur to the ditch the work of repairing ‘t would be next to impossible were it covered, as the. covering might all have to be removed trouble originated. Gone Before.

It has been-suggested by Grass ValW;C.-Randolph John Williams GC. W. Young J. B. Richmond ley parties that a continuous and ample supply of water for the mines there can be insured during the winter months if the South Yuba Canal Com~ pany will adopt the plan of covering their ditches with poles and brush so asto prevent the snow from getting into them. =~ A talk about G. W. Welch A. G. Pier T. G. Pier W. J. Wright A. M. Kilbury A. McAllister J. M, Heisley M. L. Marsh F. Bulacher Geo. Keeney the matter was had. ¥. A. Leonard yesterday with superintendent Brown. He says the covering plan is not practical for many reasors. The main ditch is where the worst troubles originate asarule, Although it is eight feet wide and carries a large body of water, a low temperature causes the formation of anchor ice which commences growing fcom both sides and the stream becomes a solid mass of ice in anincredibly short space of time. Then much annoyance is frequently oc¢asioned along the stretches of fluming, for ifthe water once commences overflowing during a ‘‘cold snap’’ it freezes on the outside of the boxes and as the mass of ice grows ~it extends into the flume with the result of effectually blocking it. A particularly bad place is the four-mile section of ditch from Quaker Hill down to Crystal Springs. Mr. Brown says the shutting off of the water supply is generally caused by the water freezing and not by snow. In his opinion any attempt at keeping up the flow by covering the ditches, would be a senseless waste of time. If an accident should occur to the ditch the work of repairing ‘t would be next to impossible were it covered, as the. covering might all have to be removed trouble originated. Gone Before.
