North Fork Correspondence.


CoNcow VALLEY, July oath, 1866.
Mr.. EDiToR:-l notice several articles in your
paper about the proposed wagon road up the route
of the Middle Fork of Feather and wish TO say q
few words on the subject, aud throw my influence
in favor of the route mp The North Fork. A road
up the North Fork will connect with all the outlets
to the east and north and be much more convenient
and cheaper than up the Middle Fork. Besides
being much easier built it would give route open
at all times Of the year to two of the greatest thor
oushfares in the State. 1t is the most favorable
route, and opens up communication directly into
aud through some Of the richest gold, silver and
copper mining localities on the Pacific coast. Il
practical survey Will demonstrate its feasibility.
and if made, feel sure the route would be adopted
1t is the shortest and most direct line from the
Sacramento Valley to Taylorvil!e, Crescent mills
and Susanvle aud Idaho. If built, the stages tor
Idaho will rattle over it. 1t will be the natural
outlet for the copper of Indian Valley and rem
der that branch of mining easy and profitable du-
ring winter as weilas summer While everything
is being for the benefit OF ranches the construction
of this road would develop vast section Of mia
cral wealth, to which there are bit rounda
bout mountain roads impossible for loaded teams
during greater portion of the winter season.

Narrow Escape from Indians.

friend at Susanville, sends Us the following
account of an Indian attack on MeSsrs. FRANK
DRAKE and TUsLEs, aud their gallant defence while
on the road TO Idaho, few days since: The at
tack was made on the 18th instant, about noon {
miles from Summit Lake Station. They were on
their way to White Horse Valley, with two . horse
teams, when they were attacked by five Indians.
They made an effort to get away by running their
horses, and had gone about one ahaf miles, when
Mr.. TuSLgR received shot in the leg which broke
it. They then concluded TO send Mr.. TusLER to
the station for achievements. He mounted a
horse and succeeded in running the gauntlet under
fire from the Indians. While Mr.. DRAKE was as
sisting Mr.. TrsLER off, he received three shots:
in the hip aud two in the legs. He Immediately
took refuge under his wagon, with his Henry rifle,
and concluded to fight it out, or at least keep the
Indians at bay until reinorcements should arrive.
He succeeded in killing one, and wounding another
when the Indians concluded to retreat. Mr.. DRAKE
found in very weak condition from loss of
blood, and taken to the station, where he was well
cared. He is doing well and viii soon be alb iut
again. Il is expected that Mr.. TusLyR's leg will
have 70 be amputated.H

REASONS WHY
The American Watch

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 IFS machinery Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself IA
nous for its novelty as well for its eectiveness)
and is therefore properly made. The watch is what
all mechanism should be-accur1te, 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." ''lepiues; and English Patent
Levers are perfectly well aware of the truth Of
this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise, more than
ten years ago it was our first object to make thor
oughiy good low-priced watch for the million. to
take the place Of these foreign impostions-the
refuse of foreign factories-which were entirely
saleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
How well we have accomplished this may be un-
dersood from the fact, that after many years of
public trial. now make than half Of all
the ,cltches sold the United States and that no

While this department of our business is continued
with increased facilities for perfect work. we are
at present engaged in the manufacture of watches
Of the very highest grade knotrn 10 Chronomstry,
unequalled by anything hitherto made by our
selves. and unsurpassed by anything made in the
world. For this purpose have the ampiest IA
ciiitieS. We have erected an addition to our main
buildings expressly for this branch of business,
and have filed it with the best workmen in our
service. New machines and appliances have been
constructed. which perform their work with con-
sunlate decaey 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 not pretend to sell watches for less money
than foreign watches. but do assert without fear
of contradiction that for the same money our pro-
dact Is inc0mpa ,ably superior. All our watches,
