6 BARTLETT SPRINGS. The Southern Pacific Opens a New Line of Travel. Delightful Drlvo From Calistoga Over tho Mountains to Lake County, "tlio American Switzerland." The opening of a new line of travel to Bartlett Springs by the Southern .Pacific Company, William Spiers and McMahon *fc Co., is so important a contribution to the comfort and pleasure of travelers that its value is bound to find instant appre ciation. The line was put into operation on the 4tn instant, and among the nine teen passengers who made the initial trip was a representative of this journal. It is rare enough pleasure alone to visit Lake County, with its beautiful lake, its great variety of hot and cold medicinal springs, its charming mountain scenery, its famous mines and its delightful streams threading tho mountain gorges; hut this pleasure is increased many times by the remarkable variety of the new route and tho opportunity it presents to the residents of the central part of the Slate to inako tbe whole trip in one day. This includes the country contiguous to Sun Francisco, Sacrameuto, Marysvilie, Knights Landing and Woodland. Tlie train leaves San Francisco at 7:30 a.m. The train trom Sacramento, leav ing at (>:1"» a. m., connects at Davis with trains from Marysvilie, Knights Landing and Woodland, arriving at Suisun at 7:40 a. M., and connecting there with local train, and at Napa Junction with the train for Calistoga at :»:•'<» a. m. Tiie Southern Pacific Company takes the Passengers by rail to Calistoga: thence William Spiers takes them in his fine Stages to Lower Lake Landing; thence McMahon A Co. take them over Clear Lake to Bartlett Springs Landing, and thence over the stage road to Bartlett Springs. fhe new route is one of remarkable di versity and interest, Passengers from Sun Francisco, for instance, cross by the ferry to Oakland, take train for Vallejo Junction and Calistoga, take the stage for Lower Lake Landing, take the steamer for Bartlett Springs Landing, and wiud up with a stage ride to the springs. Bach of the different sections of the routo is short, interesting and restful, and each has (-harms peculiar to itself. To accomplish all this in one pleasant day's ride, with no annoyance or inconvenience of any kind, and with every possible wisli anticipated, is to enjoy the most de lightful day's picnic imaginable. There is nothing comparable to it in a day's ride anywhere else- in the State. The firms co-operating in this enter f>n>e with the Southern Facitic Company tave entered heartily into the spirit of it, and have provided the finest traveling accommodations to be had. A single ticket bought at the starting point takes the traveler through. All are familiar with the ride as far as Vallejo Junction. The boat-ride thence across the straits to Vallejo brings one past Mare Island and the Navy-yard, full of interest. Then the traveler enters the Napa Valley, famops for its vineyards and orchards and beautiful towns. Everybody has heard of the wines of Napa, bat few have seen the great vine yaras carpeting the valley and sweeping over the hills in waves of green and yel low und crimson, surrounding massive stono wineries, in which are stored mill ions of gallons of precious wine ripenin ; for fastidious palates. Here one rinds wealth and refinement, manifested In handsome rural homes nud such beauti ful towns as Napa, St. Helena, Calistoga ami others. Near Napa aro the famous Xapa Soda Springs and the imposing buildings of the insan" asylum, all in lull view Irom the train. Popular medicinal springs :ir along the route. The whole Napa Valley, though narrow, is beauti ful. On either hand are mountains. The valley closes in ;it Calistoga, where the railroad conies to an end. The train arrives at li>:4", a. k. and the passengers at once take Mr. Spiers' stages—handsome affairs drawn l.v six -each. Mr. Spiers himself took the ribbons for the initial trip. His team dashed through the principal streets of Calistoga and headed at once for Mt. St. Helena, a towering gray cinder cone with its head in the clouds. Later tho clouds drifted away ami the symmetrical peak, surmounted by tin- geodetic monu ment, and standing 4,500 feet above the sea and 3,700 feet above<*alistoga,towered far above the surrounding mountains. "Do we have to cross that mountian?" I asked a passenger. "Vis. Mr." answered Mr. Spiers, "and we'll be on tiie other side in thirty minis'. And ao we were; bnt the road, instead of climbing to the summit, passes sJong the side at an elevation of 3,000 feet. This is done with many a curious turn asthe fine road winds upward into the moun tains; and at every turn anew view*of Napa Valley is secured. It is a wonder ful panorama, and the great bight from which it is sec: makes birds' nests of tho towns and carpet patterns of the vine yards. Ihe summit was reached, fresh horses were taken, and then began the rapid drive down the canyon on the other side. Napa County was left and Lake Coiintv entered. The massive coach swung gracefully on its hinges as the six horses, tso skillfully handled, rounded the most bewildering curves, headed shady can yons, dashed over bridges spanning noisy streams eagerly working their wav to the sea. and passed apder the shadow of pines and madronas and massive oaks up which climbed wild grapevines. The perfume of wildflowers was delicious. Honeysuckles lined the road and mill ions of w bite dogwood blossoms grinned Lohlly at the passengers. Ferns and lilies abounded everywhere. Canyons and gorges all filled with rich verdure. alternated with broad open stretches of barren hills, blue in the distance. Before reaching the summit after leav ing I "alistoga one may see a long mass of held, perpendicular rocks to the right and among these may be noticed s curious natural formation, the "Petrified Bear," v perfect Image of an enormouscrouohing grizzly <>n an isolated rock. <>n this road > • es the mouth ot the tunnel ofthe old Calistoga gold and silver mine and ais,, tiie great Bradford quicksilver mine. Must interesting to Ml who baveread Robert 'Louis Steven son's • powerful story, '-The Silverado Squatters," Is the old Silverado mine, around which the strange romance was woven. Middletown, situated In the Coyote Tal iey, is tbe stopping place for luncheon, Served in appetizing form by Hank . B popular caterer thereabout. Middletown is the Quinoc Ranch, known otherwise us the Langtry-'leb 1. 'arm. where the famous h< r taste for blooded horses. At Middletow n fresh horses again were taken and Mi. Spiers surrendered the lines to Fred Biggins, a driver of re tuarkable skill. The pretty town and its gnat oaks were left behind, tho broad Putah Creek crossed. and the stage headed for 1.. .wer Lake. Horses were changed ag;iin at Green's, a wayside I fleam Baking U<^Powder Used in Millions nf Hnmpc^- n Years the Standard. ranch, and soon the town of Lower Lake was reached. There are some vineyards here, but the stage did not tarry. The quiet and delightful town was left be hind. Just beyond it the stage crossed Cache Creek, a bold stream that constitutes the only outlet for Clear Lake. Tbe stage mounted a slight eminence and the lower end of (lear Lake came into view. In a few minutes more, the stage, passing through an open forest of oaks, arrived at Lower Lake landing at 3:30 p. m., where the pretty screw steamer, "The City of Lakeport," awaited the passen gers. This vessel, owned by the Mc- Mahons, is the largest, swittest and most comfortable craft on the lake. Her grace ful lines were modeled after those of tho five modern ocean racers, and she makes fourteen miles an hour. Her Captain is CaL C. McMahon. Nothing more delightful than this trip of twenty-one miles on the lake can bo imagined. A sense of delicious rest and comfort takes' the place of the exhilara tion of the stage ride. Clear Lake is a long body of water surrounded by mount ains. Lower Lake, its southern exten sion, is narrow, but beyond the passage called the "Narrows" it broadens out to a width of eight miles. Along the shore are many beautiful coves and little valleys, singularly inviting retreats where peoplo of means and taste may erect country villas. The slopes and valleys are cov eted with oaks and tbe shore configura tion is graceful. This ride of twenty-one miles up the length ofthe lake is the only way of see ing the matchless beauties of this pearl of the Coast Range, and this part ofthe new routo to Bartlett Springs will no doubt be considered the most delightful by many. The most prominent figure of the land scape is Mount Kanocti (unhappily often called "Uncle Sam Mountain), a bold, twin-topped mountain 4,70') feet high and rising abruptly out of the western shore of tho lake. From whatever point the lako is viewed. Kanocti rears his head above all things else, dominating the scene. A. good deal of sentiment may find exercise in conjuring up tlie mys terious relation of this majestic mountain to the peaceful sweetness and beauty of the lake. The southern end of tho lake is split by a long mountain snur dividing it into Lower Lake and feast Lake. As we emerged from Lower Lake we found East Lake swinging into view and at the lower end of it the great smelting works ofthe Sulphur Bank Quicksilver Mine came into view. On the left, near Mt. Kanocti, was seen Buckingham Park, a (-harming spot owned by the San Francisco shoe manufacturer. On the right, further up, is Paradise Valley, owned by Captain Alters, and next to it the fine villa ofthe late Captain Floyd, President of the Lick Trustees. Beyond came the Narrows, and then the lake opens out behind the headlands. Soda Bay, with its wonder ful spring boiling up in its center, is on the left, and its hotel and bath-house are visible. Big Valley stretches out just beyond and further to the north is Lake port. <)ur steamer headed straight for Bart lett Springs Landing, arriving ats:3o P. M. One of McMahon ft Co.'s fine new stages, skillfully driven by Ed. Walker (whose intimate lriends call him "Shorty"), took eleven of our party, the others going in another stage. Tiie ascent of the mountain range sep arating the lake from Bartlett Springs was begun at once—and what an ascent it was. The road crawls with serpentine ingenuity, heading for every point of the compass in every mile. Hundreds of turns are made and as each one is at a greater elevation than the other, and all give an open view of tbe lake, the panorama is indescribably beautiful. Lower and lower sinks tlie lake, and wider and wider becomes the view. Tbe deep bine becomes an indigo, and in places tin surrounding wall of mountains retreats, making room for valleys which open themselves to view. The highest point on the grade is 2,400 feet above the lake, and from this eleva tion, looking almost straight down upon the splendid sheet of water and its beanti ful environment, the panorama is match less. The shitting colors on the water as the sun reddening in the west, shines through the cloud rifts; the purple mountains iv the distance: the white towns and shining green valleys far be low; grim old Kanocti. his (astern liank a soft violet hue, and his western blazing red in the full light of the setting sun— these are the dominating elements of a picture that has no rival mall the region west of the Sie/ras. The summit is passed, the curtain is dropped, the pine forest of sweet odors and modest flowers is entered, and the road swings steadily down tlie mount ains to Bartlett Springs, every yard a picture and delight. It was 8:30 P. M., and wilh it an eager appetite. The springs are now under the man agement of 11. S. Greeley, the well known hotel manager of San Francisco, who. assisted by his wife, will increase the already wide feme of this resort. Many side trine of great interest may be taken from tnis new route. At Calis toga close connection is made with the stage line to the petrified forest and the Geysers, and the main line passes close to the popular springs of Lake County— Seigler's, Adams', Howard's, Harbin's and others.
