Lassen's Peaks are twins, and very lonely indeed.

They are sixty miles to the east, and are also, at this season, glistening with snow.
Between Lassen's and the Sacramento, some thirty miles up among the mountains, there is a rich timber country, whose saw-mills supply the northern part of the valley with lumber, sugar-pine being the principal tree sawed up.

The valley begins to narrow above Red Bluff, and the foot-hills and mountains still abound in wild game.

Hunters bring their peltries hither for sale; and this has occasioned the establishment at this point of a thriving glove factory, which turned out--from an insignificant looking little shop--not less than forty thousand dollars' worth of gloves last year.

Two enterprising young men manage it, and they employ, I was told, from fifty to eighty women in the work, and turn out very excellent buckskin gloves, as well as some finer kinds.
