~ ron horse reaching Cisco, q point
zs,x.,hree miles from Sacramento, in
na,oS.r, Beyond Alta the grading is An
;.hsd 10 Canon creek. where q large force
is employed in building a long and high
~embankment over a culvert OF costly ma
sonry. Thence. for a distance Of nine
miles, the road Is ready for the track. On
the remainder Of the section there is only
one cut that causes delay, and that will
be completed about the time the grade ut
Canon creek will admit the passage Of a
train. The scenery along the route of
this section is grand indeed. Four miles
beyond Alta is Jehovah Gap, between
high and p~recipitous mountains, through
which, on q clear day, the traveller may
see the green foothills. the tawny plains
and the glittering thread Of the Sacra-
mento. Above that point, efteen hun
bred feet below the railroad grade, is
Green Valley, where several thousand
miners found employment in the flush
days Of gold digging. The valley looks
like a very narrow ravine, and the ranches
along the line Of the river appear like the
diminutive gardens of the chld's play
house. The summit Of the Sierra appears
from this point to be a pleasant goal for a
mornings ride. The iron horse will go
over that crest, with q snort OF triumph,
next Summer; but there is a vast work to
be done in smoothing his pathway before
he can reach the icy waters Of the Truckee
and greet the impatient jewellers in sill
verland.

Mazeppa. "The Captain is getting rich,
and can afford. l suppose, as clothing is
dispensed with, TO make a splurge in buy
ing stone-front houses and valuable jew

town, as l doubt If the scene will compare
with her, or rather her studs performances,
in Virginia City. whose antics, rather
natural than graceful, delighted the miners
and shocked the modest females Of that
salubrious city"
