How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and olishing, the large proper
ton of thesprel leus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, SO far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT { STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome. and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from third to
ope-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is Of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted TO the purpose. has two
plates OF SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, aud the result is a
strip of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth By time and use
without removing the gold. These eases
are for sale By ali jewelers., and are guar.
auteed By SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your jew.
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsTo7

before the arrival Of the reinfsrcements.
All that can be done 10 to hold the fer
ries yet remaining on Snake River. pro-
tect the roads as far as possible and
guard against surprise. Mr.. James
Bascom, brother OF John Bascom, who
with two others was n ordered by the
Indians just below Glenns ferry, on the
first, upon learning of the murder,
started from Rock Greek station on the
overland road with al escort of forty
five men for the purpose Of visiting the
scene of the murder, and buryIng the
bodies. When within seven miles of
Glenn's ferry they saw some Indian
scouts to whom they gave chase until
they came in sight of Q body of Indi-
ans numbering 800 or 400 who in
turn pursued them. They were obliged
to flee in the direction whence they
came. They returned to Payne's ferry,
leaving one OF their number whose
horse had become unmanageable. The
endorsed man remained hidden in the
sage brush while the Indians passed
him and afterwards travelled all night
reaching Payne's ferry in safety.
Judging from this experience and re-
port of others. that the route was un-
safe on account of the presence of nu-
merous bodies of Indians passing down
the river on the south side, Mr.. Bias.
com WAS obliged to abandon his design
and come to this place, arriving here
to-day. His brother who was MUIR
dered on the first Of May remains yet
unburied where he fell. From Big
Csmss Prairie . few Indians are re-
ported TO be seen occasionally, but as
there is no force operating in that di-
rection, nothing can be known Of the
condition of the Lava Beds. General
Howard is daily expected here by
stage, and the column moving from
the west are tonight encamped At b.
ker City, Oregon, $50 miles from here.
As things now look, there will be
o hot Summers work for all the troops
which may be sent to thisregion.
