Graham has been for several weeks past superintending the work on what to be known, for want of a better name, “Gilbprt’s lake,” an artificial pond that is to be constructed of Big lake, in the re- glon about Mynster Springs. The work of grubbing out the stumps has now been com- pleted ht acres have been laid bare and 10,000 stumps have been removed. In about two weeks the work of grading is to be commenced. A cut of geven or eight fect will be made, forming a large basin, into which will run the water from the springs, ahich are so numerous in that locality. It s estimated that it will take sixty-six days for the basin to be filled by the water brought to it in a four-inch pipe, without making any dllowance for seepage or evaporation. The city will have the right to use the lake during the summer for boating purposes, but for nothing else.
