AMERICAN ENTERPRISE. The following is an instance of American enterprise:—Eagle Lake is located in Lassen County, Cal., 100 miles north of Reno, and near the projected course of the Nevada and Oregon railroad. It is 30 miles long and 100 miles wide, and contains 116 miles of water surface. It has no known outlet. Marker and Merrill own the lake and many thousand acres of timber and farming land adjacent. They are now running a tunnel, which will be over 7,000 feet long, to tap the waters of the lake at a point 12 feet below its bed. When the lake - is reached the fall of water obtained will be used to -run a sawmill and flume, which will be built from the mill to Belfast, 26 miles distant. The timber cut in the mill and cordwood will be floated down the flume, and its waters will be further utilised for irrigating the thousands of acres near Belfast, which need but their fertilising touch to swell with an abundant harvest.
