SAN Francisco, March "a, 1885.
EDITOR SENTINEL: 1t is now almost
three months since I left the Base Range,
and since then I have been knocking about
from pillar to post" SO to speak. When
I reached Sacramento / decided to go into
the New River country, which I accord
ingly did. Going first to Weaverville, l
there bought an outfit and started for the
new Eldorado via Rattlesaake. Notwith-
standing the roads were unusually good
for that season of the year the trip was, to
say the least, q rough one. I found the
NEW RIVER
Section oil claimed for miles-that is to
say, everything worth having for miles
about was taken up. The lodes there are
small, and some Of them are rich. mas
much as the mountains are not half ex-
plored II is an unsafe proposition for q
man to pass judgment on the district.
Like many others, l soon discovered that
1t was no country for Q man in search OF
work, although l am informed that since
then it has improved in that respect. Yet
knowing the country as / do l would adj
wise all those thinking seriously Of immi-
grating th~itherward to wait for at least
three weeks longer. After remaining for
several weeks in New River I went to
FRENCH GLITCH
In Shasta county. al old settlement Of
considerable hustle and activity. I found
there several producing mines and two
or three mills in full operation. Alto
gether, it was and probably is q good camp
for men seeking employment-h 1t 10 not
overdone. There was considerable doing
in the town, the outlook was bright and
what was especially pleasing was the fact
that 1t was all backed up by bullion ship
ments OF no mean proportions. / was in
| county, was also fourishing. I noticed
that while Northern California is showing
off to good advantage as Q mineral pro-
ducing section 1t is fast filling up with q
good class of immigrants, Q great many OF
whom are hardy Eastern people with some
means. all Of whom are seeking lands. As
a result real estate there Ia advancing rap
idly, despite the disappointments suffered
the past years by rsnchers who have failed
to get decent prices for their grains and
other products OF the soil. After leaving
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
/ came to San Francisco. Times here are
terribly depressed TO what they were when
! last visited the city in 1875. After / had
been here q few days it did not seem to me
like the same place. And yet the city
has grown wonderfully. The wealth taken
from Nevada properties has done much TO-
ward making San Francisco what she is to-
day. The Palace Hotel, the Nevada Block,
the Baldwin Hotel and theater, and the host
Of other immense structures and elegant
residences serve to-day as reminders Of
what our little State has done toward in
creasing the worlds wealth. The other
day / vent out to the Cliff House, and
there saw the indomitable Adolph-
ADoLPH sUTRo
He was bossing q gang Of some 30 men,
! whom he had working on some extensive
improvements about that beautiful place
OF retreat. / could not but couple with the
old gentleman as l looked at him the Sem
| atorial campaign Of many years ago when
he appeared in Eureka and Hamilton and
| talked Of Sharon and his " evoked rail.
road" The old gent was down then, but
| he is on top to-day. He is, l am informed,
| a millionaire four or five times over, n
his rents in San Francisco alone exceed
Si2, 900 q month. He appears almost as
active and restless as when engaged in his
| tunnel enterprise several years ago He
| must have q gang Of men working for him,
and since his arrival home from his
| trip around the world last October he has
! had from 30 to so men constantly on his
| payroll. When one thinks OF the four and
a half million OF dollars he raised in Eu-
| rope and expended. principally. for labor in
| Nevada and then of the three or four mil
lions he raised In New York and Boston
| when he disposed OF his interest in the tun-
mel which hears his name, most oil which
latter amount he has spent here in real and
personal property. he cannot but regard
him as
GA MAN IN A THOUSAND"
I am informed that he has determined to
20 10 Germany-there to spend q year or
longer with his two married daughters
after arranging for the construction, equip
ment and maintenance Of q couple of insti-
tut.ons in this city, which will be Of public
interest and benefit.
In q day or two l am going to Lower
California and. II may be. to Arizona.
From some point there / will write you OF
what l see and learn, which / believe would
! be of interest to the readers of the SENrI-
