at Modesto, celebrated its eleventh birth

1ns the fact that the Ne,rs is "stal-

The Reno Gazette says: About six miles
west of Beowawe station, on the Central
Pacific road, there is true geyser on the
side of a mountain, or rather forty Of
them. The one which throws the highest
stream is only about an inch and half in
diameter, and throws twenty-five feet
high at intervals of thirty minutes. A lot
of others gush up in the vicinity over about
forty acres of ground, and most of them
only throw to a hight OF three or four feet.
The Central Pacific Railroad Company
contemplates the erection, early next
spring, says the Marysville Appeal of new
and suitable passenger depots at several
points on the Oregon division. There is
not any doubt but what Marysville re-
quires one, and if some of the leading citi-
zens would bring the matter properly
before the General Manager of the COM
pany it would doubtless result in having a
building erected which would be an orna-
ment to the city and not disgrace like
the present old blacksmith shop.
Three Cinnamon came into Tuscarora,
New, Wednesday night, from Independ.
ence valley, with their feet badly frozen,
and otherwise suffering severely from the
effects of their long, cold tramp From
the story they told it seems that on the
evening mentioned, after they had gone
into camp, a number of Indians appeared,
and, by threats of violence drove them off,
The Cinnamon started without their boots,
and being afraid to return tocamp, tramped
| through the snow bare-footed to town. The
object of the Indians, they suppose, was
to get what provisions they had on hand.
If the sale of the California Northern
Railroad takes place on the llth instant,
as now advertised, says the Marysville
Appeal of December Sd, the probabilities
are that the Central Pacific Company will
be the purchaser, as that company has had
a searching investigation made as to the
value of the business to be controlled. If
they buy it the road will doubtless be put
in first class order and well equipped, 1t
is also reported that they will establish a
shop here, where much of the repair work
for the Oregon division will be done. If
the company gets possession of this road
the Plumas county freight will come this
way to Oroville, instead of going from
Reno. 1t is not entirely improbable that
the extension of the road to Plumas is con-
templated for the future.
