he greatly TO the advantage and comfort of
visitors to these famed places over any yet
built, it will be easier by the new road from
Sonora to Garrote than it is by tae Chinese
road, as no such steep grades sre necessary
as the one rising from Moccasin Creek. Be-
sides, it will give an opportunity for easy
travel between the two great natural curiosi-
ties. The distance from Chinese to Garrote
is about the same es from Sonora to Garrote,
perhaps little farther. Persons going from
the Big Tree Grove to Yosemite by the pro-
posed route, will save the distance from Sono-
ra to Chinese, and will be able to reach
The distance from the Big Tree Grove to So

miles. Whole distance from Big Tree Grove
I, Yosemite eighty-three miles. The opening
of this road will prove beneficial to this and
Calaveras County without doubt. A direct
route connecting the famous points is a ne
cessity which cannot be long delayed. 1t is
proposed to organize company without de-
lay for this purpose. 1t will add something
to our Importance and be the means of bring
ing numbers Of persons through our county
who never will see us without it. 1t is one
Of those projects in which every body should
contribute some money and considerable of
their energy. BY improving our present
means Of transportation, we nre opening up
chances for progress that have been too long
neglected. Ina few days we hope to be able
to give good account of the manner in which
our people have subscribed to and promise to
sustain this now project. When we have
built needed roads through our county with
low travelling rates, we shall have made one
step in the right direction.
