output goes to San Francisco and the coin
received enters into circulation here. At
the harvester works combined harvesters
are produced which have met with great
favor all over the State. The California
Brewery, capitalized at $4,000, produces
bottled beer which is found on the tables
OF every restaurant in the metropolis.
In business way Marvsville has always
been prosperous, and here-probably be-
cause OF It's varied industries-was the re-
cent financial crisis felt least of all. One
hrm alone does business of 81 ,000, 600
year. Two Incorporated banks attend to
the commercial business of the city and
savings bank guards the earnings of the
working people.
The Rideout Bank has an authorized
capital OF 200, half of which is already
paid up. Norman A. Rideout, it's vice
president and manager, is an ex-mayor of
the city.

limits and burned.
Marysvllle has gas and electric lights
throughout the city, and at night her
streets are as brilliantly lighted as those of
any metropolitan city. Both the gas and
electric plants are owned by the same COM
pany, and though there is in that line no
competition the IA ties of charges are mod

The Mayor is as yet unmarried, and as he
passes IN the discharge of his official duties
is the recipient of many languishing
glances from the fair ones of the city.

owing to the position of the city in the
river delta it was formerly exposed to over
now during the spring periods of high
water. A few years ago, however, by
popular vote the sum of $250,000 was ap-
propriated for the protection of the city.
With this sum, under careful and honest
supervision, a stout levee was built en-
tlrely around the city. 1t is great wall
OF earth twenty-five feet in height, and 1t
affords ample protection from high water.
To care for it and keep it in repair yearly
appropriation is made, and three men are
elected to have the matter in charge. They
are termed Leyee Commissioners, and they
are invariably chosen from the city's most

Any mention of the advantages OF
Marysville would be incomplete were not
some attention given to its railroad con-
nections. 1t is a terminal point for East
ern shipments, and much of the freight
destined for points in other States is way
billed by way of this city. Two branches
of the great Southern Pacific systematic
California and Oregon and the California
Northern and Knights Landing-center
here, and still another railroad is now In
course of construction. This last is to be
operated by electricity. 1t will run from
Marysville to Auburn, and will at the
latter place afford direct transcontinental
connections with the Central Pacific
system. The power for this road will be
furnished by the South Yuba Water Com
pany, whose supply is practically mex
haustibIe. At some point along the line
probably at Grass Valley-an electric plant
will be erected and power station estab-
lished. The money for the road has all
been raised and work ON the actual con-
struction will begin at once.
Several stage lines also center at Mays
vile and furnish means of access to points
which have not as yet rail connections.
Stages run daily to Smartsville, Browns
Valley, Hansonville, Strawberry Valley,
Camptonville and other points in the re-
mote interior. They carry the United
States mail and take from Marysville the
supplies required by the towns which are
their various destinations.

Marysville is noticeably healthy city,
and this has been commented upon more
than once in the reports of the
State health officers. Its death rate
is comparatively much smaller than
that of other cities. For this, as for
everything else in this world, there is a
reason, and it is to be found, in this case,
in the scrupulous care which the citizens

The business prosperity of the city is
well exemplifed by the fact that there is
not vacant residence in the city, and
that additional buildings are now in
course OF construction.
The press OF Marysville is clean, able
and public spirited. There are two daily
papers published in the city and several
weeklles. Phe Daily Appeal is morning
journal, while the Evening Democrat
serves up the afternoon news. Both are
bright and newsy, and though each is de-
voted to the interests OF its particular po-

mony for the advancement of their city.
Both deserve success, and what is better
both are prosperous. The San Francisco

afternoon.

also, of course, the distributing point for
the great mining districts to the north,
which consume millions in supplies
yearly.
But even more important than its COM
mercial advantages to MarysviIle are
its manufacturing industries. The value
of their output is many millions yearly
and they give continuous and remunera-
tive employment to many hundreds of
people. Among them are included plan
ing and lumber mills fouring-mills, brew
cries, wooden mills, foun dries, harvester
works. cannery, bag factories and smaller
institutions without number.
The woolen-mills were incorporated in
1867 with a capital of only $4,000. Since
then over 100000 has been paid out in
wages, yet its capital stock has been in
creased from its earnings to 100000 and it
has paid dividends each year. In spite of

Metallurgical Skill.

Otis T. Mason calls attention to pecu-
liar method employed by early native
races in North and South America, which
was the covering of objects made of wood
with copper. Carrying metallurgical skill
further than that, copper objects have been
noted sheathed with silver and with gold.
Sufficient examples of this character have
been found to satisfy US that the aborigines
in the Mississippi Valley and in South
America possessed the art of 'cold- ham
mering copper, of beating it to overlie and
fit upon warped or curved surface and OF
turning the edges over" The possibility
OF working Lake Superior copper as would

carried out by Joseph D. Mcclure. He

In the days of long ago, when the waters

cowboy, and the white-haired Justice OF
