prosperous. 1t is the railroad center
of the county and upon the business
brought to it by the Eureka and Pail
SADIE and Central Pacific railroads is
the place mainly dependent. This be
ing the case, Palisade prospers or Ian
guishes in exact ratio with the state of
the times here and elsewhere in the
interior. The contemplated extension
of our local road will undoubtedly ex.
orcise a beneficial effect on the future
of Palisade. With more road, the Eu-
reka and Palisade Railroad Company
will need more extensive repair and
machine shops, and per consequence
will employ a larger number of men.
Travel and transportation will also be
greatly increased; so it may be conf
IDENTIFY predicted that Palisade has seen
her worst days, and that she is now
about to enter upon a season OF perma-
nent growth and prosperity hardly adj
mits of a doubt. Already the Eureka
and Palisade Company maintains there
pretty extensive works in the shape Of
machine shops, etc. All of the re-
pairing as we'll as the new work Of the
company is done at Palisade. We

repair. Assistant y Superintendent
Ford, who, 10y the way, is a genial,
whole. souled gentleman, and one of
the most thorough railroad men in the
United States, in addition to his other
duties, devotes much of his personal
attention in the machine shops. We
are indebted to Mr.. Ford for kindly
showing us every object of interest in
and about the coInpany's works. l..

man Marchant and many other citi-
ems of Palisade likewise extended
courtisies, for which We desire to return
thanks. Mr.. HogIe is carrying on a
very large business in ~Cornucopia, but
still makes Palisade his headquarters
and IS thoroughly identified with the
best interests OF this county. He
speaks encouragingly of the prospects
OF Cornucopia and thinks there can be
no question about the richness and
~permanency of the mines of the new
district. He is developing a mine of
his W of great promise. We were
shown some specimens from it which
must be pronounced first lass. We
hope this new bonanza may pan ont as
well as present indications seem to
warrant its fortunate posSessor in
claiming for it.

We tried them both and take pleasure
in recommending both to the favorable
attention of the travelling public.

BILE school-honse are the public build
ing of our neighboring town. The
hall il neatly and we'll furnished and
reflects much credit on the noble order
under whose auspices it was erected.
Most of the benevolent and charitable
societies have organizations in Pail
SADIE and all meet in Odd Fellows
Hall.
The bridge which spans the Hum
boldt totters IN great need of repairs.
The abutments were considerably
damaged by the Unprecedented flood
of last spring. The bridge is the prop
erty of the county and should receive
the early attention of the Commission
ers.
The t~reStlework of the Eureka and
Paiisade Company at the river is be-
ing extended about $50 feet further
along toward the Base Range. A pile
driver, operated by IN OF The locOmo-
tives OF the company, was at work
during our visit. BY this extension
OF trestlework the embankm ent of the
road can be dispensed with tor an
equal distance, thus rendering the
flooding of the town from back water
less probable in the future.
Some other matters about Palisade
should doubtless receive notice, but
we negligently failed to make notes,
and car not therefore give from mem
DRY az full details and particulars as
we could desire. 1t only remains to
be said that the place has q milder,
better climate than Eureka, and is in
habited by as h%ospitable a people as
ever dwelt together anywhere under
the sun.
