Pinkmx, A. T., Maroh 3.- Truo reports from Walnut Grove dam show conclusively that tho vvork of construction was very faulty. The company"s safe, contamina S10.000, which was taken miles on the rushing waters, was recoverod Friday. The steel boiler used at the lower dam was found thirty miles below, crushed like a stovc-pipo. There are no traces to be seen of either of the dams. The town ai Seymour is wiped out; not one stona stands to mark its site. Since the nood a number of nugpfets of a-old have been found down the canyon. A piece of iron four inches square and thirty inches long-, used to anchor the tower at the upper dam, was picked up forty miles below. For a distance of thirty-ñve miles the canyon is strewn with bedding, dead horses, cattle and hogs, broken wagons, and, in fact, every thing used by the settlers in tho valley. Hundreds of men are searching for and burying the doad and securing the living. It is said the dam will not be robuilt.
