It hud been arranged that Mr. and Mrs. Mark

Lake Tahoe is a shoot of fresh water of won- J

Sierra Nevada Mountains, twenty miles long l

eight to ten miles. Completely surrounded by 
lofty mountains, somo of whose peaks nrocov- 1 
ered with perpetual snow, nud lying at mi alti¬ 
tude or G,:i(K) feel above tho level of thesea, a re¬ 
markable feature of tho lake is that, its surface 
is never frozen, attributable, perhaps, to ils \ 
depth, which averages about 1,000 feci. Tlio ex- t 
tromo depth, so far as known, is 1,523 feet. The 
Slate of Nevada owns onc-hidf of it, and Is de¬
