Be Within the last ten days
the town has had three very narrow escapes
from fire. In the first instance the danger
was occasioned by the coal oil in large
lamp catching fire, on account of turning
the wick up too high; the second instance
was an over heated and improperly arrang-
ed stove pipe, and the third, candle left
to burn out, with block of matches lay
ing on the heated candlestick.
Our residents cannot be too careful
in guarding against fire during the dry
season, when wooden buildings become like
tinder. Shasta has escaped confagration
for long time, but our only safety lies in
the constant exercise of care and caution
on the part of all.

SATURDAY MORNING, MAY, IA, 1870.

RUNAwAY-Last Saturday, Joe Mullen
drove into town, and left his team standing
unhitched on Main Street, while he went
into a store to do a little trading The
horses appearing to regard the act OF leav-
ing them unhitched as an imputation against
their spirit, resented the slight by getting
up and dusting down street at full speed
fortunately the lines caught around one of
the wagon-hubs and the animals were
thereby refined up and brought to sud
den halt in front of Chas. Boell's residence
As the horses were passing Cusick's saloon,
he ran out and attempted. to stop them, but
their momentum was so great as to jerk
him off his feet and send him rolling in
the dust. He escaped with several slight
bruises, and purposes to grant the right
of way" to all runaway teams hereafter.

Railroad specuIations.

1t is reported via Fort Crook, that the
Union Pacific Railroad Company has just
run a survey from Promontory, this side of
Salt Lake, to Big Valley, Siskiyou county.
1t is surmised by some that the Union Pa
ciGc intend TO extend their line from Salt
Lake to some point on the Bay of San
Francisco via. Madeline Pass and the Sac
ramento Valley. Perhaps the Company
also contemplate extending their line on
from Madeline Pass through the Klmath
Lake country to the Willamette Valley,
Portland, and Puget Sound.
Such, we imagine, is their intention. If
the road is once completed through Mad.
cline Pass into Pit River Valley, it would
be but slight enterprise to extend it down
through this county, and on to connect
with the Vallejo road at Red Bluff or
Woodland Madeline Pass is about fifty
miles above Fort Crook, and possesses an
altitude of only 5000 feet above the level
of the sea. The elevation of the Pass is
gradual and the country in its vicinity is
comparatively well supplied with timber.

HEAVY Run OF IRoS.-ThC BcnwOOd
furnace, located at Martinsvillc, made one
hundred and cighty.tlIree tons Of first
class mill iron during the week ending
the 10th inst, which is the largest run cv-
er made during any week in the history
Ofthc furnace. .....
We stated some weeks ago that the
furnace had been improved with what is
known as CLOSED top" trundle,hcad, and
that by this arrangement greater ccono.
my and greater yield were expected,
both of which expectations have been re-
allied. Not only have the company
made more and better iron than before
the Improvement, hut also made it tlccid-
edly cheaper.
In addition to the improvement noted
VIC observe that they have laid railway
from the furnace to the river, and that all
their iron is shipped direct from the
mOulds to the mill at BenwOOd without
the old fashioned amount OF handling,
which of course is u saving OF expense.
Another improvement recently under
taken by the Company is the putting up
of an additional set Of boilers, with the
view ofavoiding q stop Of one day each
month for the purpose Of cleaning the set
now in use. This stop is always Il scri-
Gus drawback upon the working OF II Illr-
mace as respects both the quantity and
quality Of its iron, and the new arrange
mcnt therefore by which it is to be avoid
ed in future is expected still further to
increase the present yield, and also do
away with the liability TO make bad
cast after starting up,

injuries would permit.
Besides the foregoing we heard of two
other runaways, but did not learn the par
