The ditch is about the same size as that known as the Hubbard and is a splendid piece of engineering work throughout. It is cut from the solid earth over the bench lands of the Wide Hollow and is consequently very strong and durable. It has a heavy fall but its side walls are not embankments and it could carry even more water than it is now designed to do. When the flumes of the Natcheez gap are completed they will be somewhat on the picturesque order; because they are to be carried upon iron trestles reaching 100 feet into the air."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
