BUTTE CoUxrY.-The Mountain Messenger
has the following;
MooresvMe-This place is situated in Cas-
cade township, Butte county on the dividing
ridge between Lost Greek and the South
Fork of Feather river, and at present con
tains population of two hundred. 1t is five
miles north Of Strawberry Valley, by the
trail, and seven miles ria. Eageville. Moores-
vile, which for the last two years has been
worrying out kind of dreamy or ideal ex
istenee, has now shaken off her unprogres-
sive appearance and is giving strong evi
dence that she will at near day, be ranked
among the most prosperous and enterprising
towns in the Sierras The town now con
tains three boarding houses two stores, one
bakery. two saw mills, one blacksmith shop
newspaper depot and one billiard saloon.
In expectation of the mines being worked
up to Mooresville new town, on the hill
above the present site, has been surveyed.
The name of the new place is Cascade City.
The location is very fine one.
The miners about Mooresvile have labor
ed under great difficulties, in consequence of
the scarcity of water But as two bitches,
the Mason ditch and the Cascade Canal, will
soon be completed this difficulty will soon
be removed. When the bitches are finished
(which event will take place inside of a
month"; the miners will have plenty of water
to carry on their work, at any season of the
year. To Mr.. W. S. Watson, Engineer we
are indebted for the following information
concerning the Cascade Canal:
Its supplied from the South Fork of
Feather river. Size, Z feet on water line,
feet on bottom and D feet deep. The fumes
are by ) feet. Entire length, 10 mi les to
main reservoir. including tunnel of l65 feet in
length Capacity, 20o0 inches, miper's meas
ure. Length of ilume, 81 miles. Current,
miles per hour Officers-William Haw-
ley, President; Col. Shields, Superintendent;
W. s. Watson, Engineer; Lorin Robertson,
Contractor.
This place-We are at a loss to know by
what name to call it. as some of its citizens
stlll cling to the old name Mooresville, while
Others insist that the name has been changed
to Cascade City-has a bright future in store
me ground in the vicinity prospects well
calms sell at reasonable price the grade
Is easy, and with plentiful supply of water
at low rate (25 cents rer inch) we think
The chances for making money are really
good
