of the trips eagerly sought for by the
travelling public.
After taking dinner at Monarch, the
passengers boarded the Ncilart carriages
and took their road up the valley OF the
Belt, which at this point is cut down to
about two or three hundred feet in width.
Probably thirty or forty passengers oc-
cupied seven or eight teams that were
waiting there. The party was under
the care Of Danial McNcill, whose abil-
ity to strike every rock in the road is
probably unequaled. He is a genial,
whole soulcd fellow, however and this
compensated in part for the jolts. The
road to Neihart is almost level; that is,
it is without any steep grade, and a few
thousand dollars spent upon it in re-
moving rocks and filling up cuts by the
generous county Of Mcagher would make
it a very pleasant road to travel.
When we arrived within three miles
Of Neihart, the extra weight caused by
our friend Erskinc broke the axle Of our
wagon and precipitatcd the party to
the ground. As VIC were going up Il
slight incline the. fiery stecds did not
run away. It seemed for a little while
as If the passengers would have to walk
the rest OF the way into town ~, carry
their Saratogas with them, but Other
teams coming along took them
safely to their destination. The rails
are laidwitlIin Il mile and a hal
of the city. The grade for the
most part is a good one; that is tn;
heavy grades arc well distributed. it has
however. an elevation of 100 feet to the
mile in many places and seemingly more
curves than necessary. The generou;
Neihart people wish their Great Fall
friends to spend a day with them in gen
eral rejoicing. In about two days tim
a subscription OF nearly $1,000 wa
1 raised for the festival, and it is expectc
, that the excursionists will have a joyfu
time.
Neitart, at an elevation Of 5000 feet,

into town, with the large number of fir
residences scattered over the groun,
Several dwellings costing from $4,000

rooms, all neat and clean, and the ia
