The paint produced is fire and water proof, and of excellent warm-brown color, which always maintains its shade; and it has proved to be superior to any of the metallic paints imported from the East or from Europe. For its production a plant was erected, with a capapcity of ten tons every twentyfour hours, There is no doubt that when the merits of this paint are more widely known, a greatly enlarged plant will be required to supply the demand. Failroad companies all admit that this paint is far superior to any other inuse, and it is at the same time cheaper. It has been used in painting mine buildings, dwellings, and structural works of every kind, and has always given perfect satisfaction. The company was awarded the first prize for metallic paint at the California Midwinter Exhibition, entitling the company to a gold medal. TRUCKEE Som> writer has called the mountainous country around Truckee the “Alps of America.” This picturesque comparison not only voices the imagination of the writer, bat also expresses the sentiment of thousands who have visited the twon and have been enam sored of the Scenic vrandeur of its environs, whose snowclad mountain peaks and wonderful pine forests, in the very heart. of the Sierras, combined with a healthful and invigorating climate, and the best of fishing and hunting, lend to the place a picturesqueness and charm 10t possessed by any other locality. In close proximity to this mountain town are some of the prettiest lakes in California. Donner Lake, situated about three miles from the town, is a sheet of purest crystal water, lying at the base of tall and overshadowing forest-crowned peaks. Lake Tahoe is also one of the great attractions of Truckee. This beautiful lake, lying among the peaks of the Sierras, forms the cental foreground of one of tie geandest scenes in California, and is one of the seven wonders of the coast. Thousands of deW.B. Lardner lichted pleasure-seekers leisurely stroll along its beach or sail over its clear waters during the summer season. Webber Lake is another of the great attractions of this region. It possesses a fascinating charm for tourists, apparently exhibiting a wonderful m‘rage. The water has the appearance of an unfathomable opening in the earth. It is stated that the mirage lasts until the sunbeam: dissipate the fogs. Independence Lake is also an object of interest to the traveler who mzkes Truckee the scene of his pilvrimage, One of the features of interest to sightseers in this town is the: wonderful rocking stone. This stone is poised on the top of an imnense mass of granite, thirty feet high. It is of irregular shape, seven feet long, six feet wide, and four feet high. It weighs sixteen tons, but is poised so delicately, on two points, that it moves with the touch ofthe finger. This wonderful curio is owned by C. F, M2Clashan, who has inclosed it with a neat, substantial building. Truckee is also noted as a winter resort. Here hundreds of visitors fill the air with shouts of joy as they ride their skis and toboggans, or skim the surgace of the lakes and streams on their skates and ice-boats, Dog teams, reminding you of faroff Alaska, draw loads of merry-makers. Others find enjoyment in sleigh-riding; and snow-balling battles fill the streets with cries of mirth. The town is at the present rapidly becoming the Mecca for moving-picture companies. The snow-scenes in the surrounding country are used by practically all the large companies in their Alaskan scenes. Truckee is also known for its fishing and hunting. Gamefish, wild fowl, and larger game are found in abundance. Grouse, quail, bearand deer are present all through the surrounding country. With the steady sum-rer traffic to Lake Tahoe and other places of interest, and with the winter operations of the icemanufacturing companies, Truckee is now busy throughout the year. The business of the outlying districts surrounding Truckee has hitherto been confined to three industries; namely, the production of wood, lumber, and ice. Hundreds of thousands of cords of wood have been shipped in all directions by citizens and — by the railroad company. Billions of feet of lumber have been eut from the surrounding hills and shipped to all parts of the Coast. Thousands of tons of ice are annually cut from the frazen mountain streams and stored in houses built for that purpose by the ice companies. Truckee is the center of the great ice region of the Coast, and avery remunerative industry has been built up from this source. The town contains large, commodious stores, in whichevery line of business is represented. The Central Pacific Company has a round-house and shops there. There are churches and schoolhouses equal to those of any interior town. The population is about 1506, and future prospects are exceedingly flattering. The Southern Pacific Kailroad Company have six passenger trains running through Truckee each way every day. The town is distant 120 miles from Sacramento, and 200 m‘les from San Francisco, Lake Tahoe may be reached from Truckee either by automobile or the little train on the Lake Tahoe Railroad, which carries you through the defiles of Truckee River Canyon, and thyase to the "shores of enchantment."
