South Fork district, is guarantee that work
will be commenced there on an extensive
scale, and at the earliest possible day, by
men of means sufficient to do what is neces-
sary to make it pay most. The working OF
such mine necessltates the expenditure CT a
large capital. and of course makes market
for labor, skilled and unskille!, at remuner
atng wages, as well as for the agricultural
products of the county, besides bringing
custom to lumbermen and merchants, and
above all. stimulating to life the hopes and
energies of our people, which had so nearly
died out when this streak of sunshine broke
in upon them.


And now the question presents itself
How can we best utilize the encouraging
propects which dawn upon us? Is Shasta
we mean the town-to divide the benefits
Hkely-nay, surely-to arise from these
mines, with Red Bluff? or, is she to quietly
yield all the benefits to the last named place ?
The citizens of Shasta are to determine which
way it is to be. To yield all to our sister
town we have but to remain as dormant as
we have been for the past few years; to
share the Benefits, we must arouse ourselves
from that fatal lethargy, and construct a
z bod and direct road to these new mines
TO do it will take money, and not money
alone, but enterprise. Can we arouse our
selves to the emergency or, shall we quietly
let nature perform all the work of incubation
without thought or concern for the result p
We take it that it is in the hands and in the
power of our citizens now to bring back to
Shasta the trade and glory of other days
The way to do it is plain and simple. Nature
and good fortune has opened the door to
prosperity. Will our citizens pluck the
golden apple? If so, the road will be built.
If not, then the obnoxious signs upon our
brick buildings, - To Let" which have so
long afflicted the eyes of the passer by, will
continue until natures slow decaying process
shall wipe them out.


Already capital is busy at the South Fork
not only in the Chicago. but in many other

reach that point? Inquire and it will be
found that they leave the public convey
ance leading from below to this place, at Red
Bluff; thence they 60 by private conveyance
to the point where their business calls them.
Build the road, and they will continue by
stage to this point, and hence to South Fork
in an hours time Besides, V thus short
ening the distance, all the light trade of that
place will be secured to Shasta, and also a
large visiting patronage at least one day out
of every seven. A road can be constructed
from here to Ellsworth's Mill that will not
exceed seven miles in length, and on such a
grade that it may be travelled in an hour
from point to point, and that, too, at an ex-
pense within the easy reach of our citizens.

A wonderful story is told of man
named j. ID. Chevalley, a native Of
Switzerland, who had in l845, at the age
of sixty.six, arrived at an astonishing
degree of perfection in reckoning time
by an internal movement. He was, in
fact, human timepiece or living clock.
In his youth he was accustomed to pay
great attention to the ringing of bells
and vibrations Of pendulums, and by
degrees he acquired the power of count
ing succession of intervals exactly equal
to those which the vibrations of the sound
produced. Being on board a steamboat
on Lake Geneva, on July IA, 1882, he
engaged to indicate to the crowd around
the lapse of quarter of an hour or as
many minutes and seconds as any chose
to name, and this during most diversi-
fed conversation with those standing by;
and further, to indicate by his voice the
moment when the hand passed over the
quarter, minutes, or any other subdivi-
sion previously stipulated during the
whole course of the experiment. This
Ghe did without mistake, Notwithstanding
the exertions of those about him to dis
tract his attention, and olapped his
hands at the conclusion Of the fixed
time. His own account Of his gift was
as follows: IL have acquired by imita-
ton, labor and patience a movement
which neither thought nor labor nor any
thing can stop. 1t is similar to the. of
a pendulum, which at each moment of
going and returning gives me the space
Of three seconds, so that twenty of them
made minute, and these add to others
continually"

depended upon her carrying out the
wishes of the testatrix-strewing the
threshold of the house in Boyle street

handful of Scotch snuff to the ground
and upon the ground" Lastly to every

Among the marvellous instances of
what is called second sight, is one Of an
eminent German professor, who was re-
turning to his room after dining with a
friend, and as he neared the house was
astonished to see light burning in his
room. Pausing' to look, he presently
saw himself come to the window, glance
out among the curtains, draw from his
fob the we'll known old-fasbioued watch
which the professor had carried for many
years, undress in the most methodical
and natural manner, put away some
books and articles in their accustomed
places, turn down the bed clothes and
extinguish the light The professor in


the street, having thus far watched the
movements Of the double who had thus
taken possession Of his room, decided to
20 elsewhere for the night, and so did
not enter the house. In the morning, on
entering his room with his pass key, there
was no trace of anybody's having been
there, but the heavy ceiling over the bed
had fallen and crushed it to atoms !;
whatever the apparition was, ithad saved
the professors life. The class Of phe-
nomena to which this belongs can neither
be explained away nor accounted for.

asleep across the windowsill, with his
head hanging out. There was apparent

strains once oft attuned by childish

The true value of Machinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its use Watches made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
few people know why a Waltham Watch should
be superior to any other. In the first place, at
Waltham the Watch is regarded as only ma
chine, to be constructed like any other machine,
on mechanical principles. Ii the watches are
good, it is because the machinery is good. Of
course there must be no defect in the principle
or plan of the movement-no mistaken the sizes
or shapes of the pieces of which it is composed
nothing wanting in their properties, and no error
in their positions. These points once thorough
ly settled, it rests wholly with the machinery
constructed with infinite diversity of form and
function expressly for the purpose, to produce
the finished pieces. By means of multiplying
guages and microscopes, tests and inspection for
the detection of wear in the cutting tools, and
for faults and flaws in steel or stone are made to
accompany the work in every stage from be-
ginning to end. As necessary result, the watch
goes together perfect machine. Every part is
found to fit properly in its place. Every pin may
be pushed till it pinches, and every screw turned
home Instead of a sluggish and feeble action,
the balance, even under the pressure of tho
lightest handspring, vibrates with wide and free
motion, and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always Characteristic of the Waltham Watch
The machine is timekeeper from the start.


This system of Matchmaking is unknown in
foreign countries and is entirely original with
the Waltham Company. The company claims
that by it they produce watches that cannot be
equalled for every quality which makes watch
valuable. Simple in plan and correct in princi-
pie, the movement is not only beautifully finish
ed substantial, accurate and cheap, but is uni
form in the minutest detail, not easily damaged,
and when repaired always as good as new. There
different grades of finish in the fferrent va
rieties of watches made by the Watham Com
pany, as there different sizes and shapes to
suit all tastes and means; but every Watch that
bears the genuine trade mark of C WALTHAM' is
guaranteed to be good one and nobody need
be afraid to buy it.
