REASONS WHY
The American Watch
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
Is the Best.

IT Is MADE ON THE BEST PRINCIPLE. Its
frame is composed of solid plates. No jar can
interfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Itself IA
for its novelty well for its efectiveness)
and is therefore properly made. The watch is what
all mechanism should be-aceurlte, simple, strong
and economical Except some high grades. too
costly for general use, foreign watches are chiefly
made by women and boys. Such watches are COM
posed Of several hundred pieces, screwed and NV
eted together. and require constant repairs to keep
them in any kind of order. All persons who have
carried .'ancres," "lepines'' and English Patent
Levers are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement
Al the beginning of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago it was first object to make thor
oughly good low-priced watch for the million, to
take the place CT these foreign impositions-the
refuse of foreign actorieS-which were entirely IN
saleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be IN
derstood from the fact that after 50 many years of
public trial, We now make more than half of al
the matches sold in the United States and that no
others have given such universal satisfaction
While this department of our business is continued
with increased facilities for perfect work. are
ST present engaged in the manufacture of watches
of the very highest grade kTiotcn 10 ChroaonletTy
unequaed by anything hitherto made by our
selves. and unsurpassed by anything made in the
world For this purpose we have the amplest IA
cilities. We have erected addition to our main
buildings expressly for this branch of business
and have flied it with the best workmen in
service. New machines and appliances have been
constructed. which perform their work with con-
sums:e delicacy and eXactness. The choicest and
most approved materials only are used and we
challenge comparison between this grade of our
work and the finest imported chronomesers- We
do no. pretend to sell watches for less money
than foreign watches bat do assert without fear
of contradiction that for the same money pro-
duct is incompaTably superior. All our watches,
of whatever grade, are fully warranted and his
warrsntee is good at all times against Us or our
agents in all parts Of the world
/ CAUTION-The public are cautioned to buy
only Of respectable dealers All persons selling
counterfeits will oe prosecuted.

TIE SILVER LEDGE AT CHERoKEE.-work on

OHoy1ILE AND BEcxwIrH Pass TURNPIKE Co.
This company has been duly organized at Quincy
as shown elsewhere. The partic ular attention of
our citizens is called to this enterprise. 1t is the
great desideratim for Butte as well as for Pu
mas county. And it matters but little whether the
Middle or North Fork be chosen as the route. If
it shall be constructed up the North Fork, it viii
intersect the Taylorville land Quincy road at. or
Near Rich Bar-that is the new road now in pro-
cess of construction. Should the Middle Fork be
chosen as aaording better and more direct route
TO Beckwith Pass, it will connect with the road
from Ia Porte to Qaincy. now In process OF con-
struction and in either event, will place Oroville
60 or 10 miles higher Quincy and Taylorvilie than
any route leading ont of Marysyille. 1t is inst ex
actly the road that Butte and Piumas counties
want and we hope all interests may be united IN
its construction. Plumas has voted $50 900 In
bonds for this purpose. If the business men of
ororile, and of the entire county would secure in
creased value to their property and business they
will subscribe the means necessary TO construct
this road 1t don't matter how much we are al
ready taxed. we must yet add enough to the fund
50 generously furnished by Plumas, to build this
road or be content TO see vast trade carried
around and away from Butte. Private interests
must not be allowed to control hamper appropriate
or defeat this enterprise. NJ. Fl. WELLS, Esq, OF
Yankee Hill has been appointed to open subscr1p-

portunity for the miners and business men OF the

SUMMIT CITY.-Ths suddenly famous place is
likely to prove humbug. 1t is doubtless, supposed
that it may become point on the Central Pacific
Railroad. that institution has cut loose from its
tunnel and is now hanging in the air. Messrs- MIL
LER & BELLOWS recently retu. ned to Quincy, Plu-
mas county, from Smmit City. They do not seem
to be very favorably impressed with that locality.
Lots of snow, but little money, poor grub, high
prices, poor accommodations for man and beast,
and but little business doing, are few among the
many items they gave the Quincy Union about the
famous Meadow Lake Mining District.

PRoprCrIoNs OF THE GARDEN.-It is generally
supposed and it is not violent superstition either,
that Chico is the garden spot of this portion of the
State; yet do that locality injustice, and bat
state the simple truth, when say that thriving
little burgh is supplied with vegetables and table
fruit from the gardens of Oroville. Wagons run
regularly to Chico in that trade. The cereals, and
some descriptions of fruit, produced in great
abundance, and we know of no reason why that To-
cality does not produce every description of fruit
required for its consumption. unless it is because
her farmers are satisfied to rely upon huge crops of
grain to supply their wants. This it seems to US,
is but partial farming. Land that will produce
good grain, ought to produce every description OF
vegetable and fruit required fos table use; and that
such is the fact is witnessed by more than one mag
nificent garden in that township. 1t is believed
that little attention TO a small portion of a ranch
would enable every owning one to produce all
that would be required for the consumption of the
household. including wine and tobacco. But for
the fact that the railroad will soon be extended up
through the valley to Oregon, we should advocate
the construction of turnpike road to Chico that
her people might enjoy the luxury of our oranges.

TAYLoRvILLE.-This locality in Plumas county
is becoming place of considerable Importance, in
consequence of its rich copper and gold and silver
mines the agricultural value of the lands of Indian
Valley, and its unequalled and salubrious climate.
The mines appear to be of a character perma-
nent and extensive as those that have given birth
to cities on the eastern slope. The population are
energetic and enterprising, and will soon have
sive foundry is to be established there and its
people wide awake to the importance of wagon
road communication with other parts of the State,
and are building roads to Qaincy and Susanvle.
In Lassen county company has been organized o
construct a wagon road from the summit of the d.
vide between Indian and Honey Lake Valleys to
Susanville. Plumas county appropiates sufficient
TO complete that portion of the road located within
her boundaries, which will be free; but from the
summit to Susanville toll will be collected. 1t is
tw elve years since, that Mr.. TAYLOR, from whom
the place takes its name. took mill into Indian
Valley, over what is now known as the Oroville
and Susanviile road. 1t was the first attempt to
carry freight over the route, and he had 10 locate
and cut out the road for his teams. Bot he got in
with his freight His called attention to it,
and the yallies along the line settled and
the road greatly improved. 1t was but three years
later, in 81 aud prior to the improvement of the
road above Magaiia, that the first stage coach that
ever crossed the Sierra Navadas. left Orovie on
this unimproved but natural road, and went to Su-
sanyiie and back making the return trip in thirty
one hours driving time. triweekly stage now
runs regularly between Susauville and Oroville,
with a branch line from Humbug Valley to Taylor
vile. This latter place is accessible from Virginia
City by succession of Valleys. offering no obstacle
to the construction of wagon roads or railroads,

Dr.. CHAPIN says: The cause that never made a
fanatic never produced martyr" This is verified
by the Marysyille Transfers. They are fanatics on

the aid of the railroad, and they have martyred
