HAS CONE TO STAY.
The Success of the Lumber Boom"
an Established Facl.
Which VIII Bring Other Booms Along
In Quick Succession-A Great
Industry on Foot.

Colonel George W. Cummings, Super
intendent of the American River Land
and Water Company, is in the city. He
is naturally well pleased over the sue
cess of the great log-drive down the south
fork of the American River to the boom
at Folsom.
Colonel Cummings says the logs have
all reached the boom in first-class order,
being not the least bit damaged by their
long journey from the mountains. The
result has clearly demonstrated the fact
that sugar pine logs are as buoyant and
viii float as readily as the white pine of
the East.
The Colonel will commence at once the
construction of a railroad from the COM
pany's timber lands to the American
River, where the logs will be set ahoat.
The company is also about to begin the
erection at the boom of one of the most
complete saw-mills on the coast. 1t will
be an immense affair, and will have a
capacity, at the start, of $4,000 feet of
lumber per day.
Not only will first-class lumber be
turned out for shipment 10 this city and
elsewhere, but the manufacture of sashes,
blinds, doors, fruit-boxes, etc., will be
engaged III on large scale.
W hen these works shall be under way,
and the grand water power of the Ameri-
can River be utilized for local factories
and for providing this city with electric
power, Folsom will become a bustling
place. Less than a year will witness
some of these results, and then viii fol-
low the irrigation Of the bench lands of
the county, which will bring them to the
highest state of fertility and production.
People generally do not yet fully realize
all that these developments mean for this
city and county, but the time is near at
hand when Sacramento will be admitted
to be the most prosperous county in the
State, even by those who will not to-day
concede to her the advantages she already
possesses over most other localities.

HANK SMALL SICK

He Made the Best Railroad Trip .on
Record.
The San Francisco Post of last evening
says that Hank Small is one of the pio-
neer engineers of the Central Pacific, and
there is not a better or more popular en-
gineer on the coast. For several months
Hank has been dangerously Ill with heart
disease, and since last May he has been in
DIR. Woolsey's Hospital. Oakland.
Yesterday Small appeared much better
than he has been for several days past,
and his improvement is very encourage
ing TO the physicians who daily watch
him. Small is an old man and weak from
his long confinement, and there are many
OF his old railroad acquaintance who
never expect to see him pull a throttle
again.
His greatest feat, and one that gave him
Worldwide reputation, was his light
ming run over the Central Pacific with
the Jarrett and Palmer theatrical troupe
Some of the miles were made in less
than a minute, and the train travelled
from Jersey City to San Francisco in
three days, seven hours and thirty-nine
minutes and sixteen seconds.
This remarkable run was made in
June, 1876. Since then il has been said of
Hank Small that whenever ne opens ais
throttle at Sacramento the signal bell at
West Berkeley would commence to ring,

The new division consists of about
thirty members, and is composed en-

and interesting. After the new division
had been formally installed in the order,
there were several addresses, after
which the entire party adjourned to the
Capital Hotel, where an elegant banquet
was awaiting them.
Covers were laid for several hundred,
anu Steward Sullivan had loaded the

was about thirteen years old and was
staying in St. Paul with her brother.
Her death was caused by the explo-

of her sister-in-law. Her clothes
caught on fire and she WAS SO badly
burned that it caused her death. The
accident happened at 8 p. M, three
doctors were called at once but medical
skill was Of no avail. She died the
next morning at o'clock. This is the
second time that the messenger of
death has visited the family in less
than year each time taking daugh-
ter. The family and especially the
aged mother have the sympathy Of the
! entire community in their atiliction.
