, and for the next throe liour. S is viewing the tremendous scenery upon which Mount Shasta, from his snowy heights, looks down. The barrinr that occasioned the necessity of the " B'g Bend of the Sacramento " was one of the huge flanks of Shasta that plunges down across the cafion a few miles above Mossbrae Falls. From this point, Eighteenth Crossing, to Edgewood, a distance of twenty-five miles, the route is along the foothills of Shasta, the highest point reached (near Muir's Peak) being near...ly 4, 000 feet. The loadstone of the scenery everywhere on this twenty-five mile ride is, of cours«!, the mountains. The eye tnay sweep the horizon around and meet scenes of sublimity on every hand ; but it turns instinctively again to catch the first Hashes of almost supernatural light that gUam down through the grand avenues of the pines and finally burst into unobstructed splendor at the plateau of Straw- berry Valley. Words fail entirely here to give the faintest idea of the solemn repose and unspeakable grandeur of this stately giant of the north, who has reared his cloud-capped towers and icy-lava cliffs to an ele- vation of more than two verticle miles above the surrounding land- scape.
