The flumeis of the standard bent and stringer construction, thebents being placed i6 ft. apart, and a strip of burlapsaturated with an asphaltum compound is placedunder the battens for waterproofing. At the penstock a regulating reserxoir is exca-vated in the side of the mountain. .\ small portion ofthe upper end is 5 ft. deeper than the balance of thereservoir and is used as a sand-trap. The reservoir is12 ft. deep, 350 ft. long and of an irregular shape, vary-ing from 12 to 125 ft. in width, following the contourof the hill. The side slope
