The next inquiry is, whether there is water enough at command 
for the shortest line, 29 miles, described page 15. 
This line is higher than the former by 34 feet, viz: 10 feet above 
tlie base line of Deep creek, occasioned by ascending to the Bench 
ma; k near the mouth of Meadow Mountain Run. and wl ids increased 
elevation is necessai'y to be out of reach of the freshets of Deep creek., 
which rise at the bridge, at least 9 feet. 
As the canal must be kept out of reach of floods, it may be sup- 
posed to be led along the foot of Meadow mountain, across Cherry- 
tree Glade Run, and along the declivity of Negro mountain, and up 
the Buffaloe vailey to the htnneiU'MVin^ into Bear creek valley, which 
on this plan may be shoi'tencd. and by somewhat deeper digging at 
both ends, reduced to about one mile.

To provide fur it we have,

the east tunnel to tlie western extremity of the west tun-

The Glade reservoir may be formed by a dam at the 
narsows, 200 feet wide, 12 feet high, plus foundation. 
This would flow the water to Elk Lick, on the foot of tiie 
Dividing ridge which is, feet, 26.194 above base and 
Because less to Meadow mountain.
