THE CALIFORNIA
s c r AP B O O K !!

repository of useful information and select
reading, comprising choice selections of Prose
and Poetry, Tales, Incidents and Anecdotes, both
Historical, Descriptive, Humorous and Senti-
mental
The compiler, in arranging and combining ma
terial, has presented the whole in an interesting
and attractive style. The brevity and variety

incidents in the lives of the Pioneers, and of The
history of the State, that make its pages glow
with the facinations of romance.

larger sale than any work that has been crcu-
lated upon this coast for many years.

pages, printed on elegant paper, handsome type,
with numerous spirited engravings, illustrating
scenery, character, etc.

those wishing territory to canvass, should i'm
mediately apply in person or by letter to the un-
dersgned.

the Pacific coast for the celebrated Morse's
Fountain Pen. An excellent article for agents.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

BUGGY CAPszeD. - Last Thursday, as T.
Weise, another gentleman and two ladies, were
coming from Canyon City to Junction City, in a
double buggy, they met the Northfork express
short distance from the Carter house, at point
on the hill side where the road was extremely
narrow, making it difficult for teams to pass each
other. Every one having alighted from the We
hicle, in attempting to drive the buggy around
the express wagon it upset and rolled down the
bill into ditch not far below the road. Little
damage was done, the party being more scared
than hurt

A MAMMOTH TURrLE.-The Monterey Democra

MAMMOTH TURrLE.-The Monterey Democrat,
of September l4th, says:
During the week, out in the bay, the whalers
surprised and captured an immense sea turtle,
which in figure and proportions was unlike any
creature Of its family ever seen by people here
abouts. Its dimensions are as follows Length,
feet breadth, I feet inches from tip to tip);
width of body, feet inches fore fippers, 3
feet inches long, hind fippers, II inches, l foot
inches through, and weighing 700 to 800
pounds. 1t took eight men to lift the monster,
which was seemingly very fat. What distin-
guished the animal from Others of his race, was
the shape of his upper shell, which was deeply
huted or corrugated The head had a hawkbill
mouth, and the extraordinary length of the flip
pers indicated that it was purely marine in its
habits.

LATELY son of Albert G. Decker, keeper of
the drawbrdge across the Passac river New
Jersey, fell from the bridge into the river beneath
just a train of the Newark and New York rail-
road was approaching. The draw open, and
yet the father remained at his post, closed and
locked the bridge, while his boy was struggling
in the water, and then jumped in to rescue him !;
but the delay was fatal, and an hour after the
lifeless body was dragged ashore. 1t has been
said that no man deserves credit for doing what
is simply his duty, but under circumstances
such as these, where duty pulls simultaneously
with ones heart strings in opposite directions,
the decision of Decker becomes heroic.

A WEDDING at Fort Smith, Arkansas, was in

to that portion of the service which requires a
VOW of obedience on the part of the bride. At
that critical moment there resounded through

MUsr CONE DowN.-Carters Real Estate Cir
cular, San Francisco, says:
I" 1t has lately become plain that the rates OF
interest on this coast must come down from
twelve to fifteen per cent per annum to eight or
nine per cent. The railroad has brought us in
close connection with those States of the East in
which the rate of interest is but six 10 eight per
cent. per annum in currency, and California is
now but eighteen days travel from Europe, where
money is worth only three to four per cent per
annum. 1t is impossible for us to keep up ex-
travagant rates Of interest when cheap money is
so near to u.s.

The descent from the mountain top to the up
per settlements of Hayfork is but trifing COM
pared with the ascent from this side, so we can
readily infer that the denizens of that region are
bound TO live high. The trail leads to Kellogg
diggings, famed in by-gone years for its coarse
gold and good pay. At present there are but
few miners employed this high up on the stream,
though if one is to judge anything from appear
ances, better region for prospecting can
scarcely be found in the limits of the county.
The Goods-father and son-with Malcolm Par
lin and John Pierson, have the whole country to
themselves, until we reach the gulch on which
Wells and Warren are at work. There are many
empty cabins scattered along the creek, showing
that at different times great many miners have
found employment here. We stayed over night
with the gentlemen last named, and in the
morning we took look at their claims, which
have famous reputation for paying Like
other mining claims nowadays, to make it pay
it has to be worked with all the advantages that
mining ingenuity has devised, and we found the
boys were aware of this fact and are opening up
the claim in manner that will roll the pay out,
if it is there to be rolled out. The day has gone
by in this country when fortunes can be made by
skimming over the surface-it now takes time,
patience and enterprise to make the earth yield
up its hidden treasures.
