Among the passengers by the Crescent City, it will
be artIColonel Hughes of the Typographical
gineers and his party who have been engaged in ex-
ploriDg and surveying different routes for railroad
across the sthmus. We learn from Col. Hughes that
he has been successful beyond his sanguine
pectstons, having asceraincd and fully explored and
surveyed splendid route from Limon Navy Bay to
Panama. the Whole distance of which, from ocean to
ocean Is but forty six miles and the summit elevation
only 2T5 feet above the Pacicthe greatest grade
tho Atlantic slope being only twenty feet per mile and
on the Pacific side forty feet with abundance Of the
Limon Bay is not only free from any bar but ono
Of the finest harbors In the world with abundance Of
whore the road will be located.
The works on the road will be commenced mms-
diately and completed and in operation within two
years!
We further learn from Col Hughes that besides the
gold in the Crescent City, two millions more had cross
ed the is'hmus during the month Of Maya portion of
only from California and the balance from the
though part OF the latter had doubt originally
come from California.
Col Hughes party are all well except Captain Thigh
man. but who is not considered seriously Ill. One OF
the passengers In the Crescent City died board
terday morning Of cholershe had been resident for
II years in California and was returning with his ia
mily having acquired large fortune during his resi-
dence, Of which he had $4,000 in gold board the
Crescent City.

On Board THE CRESCENT CRY,
Orr THE BALIzE, June Q, 1910.
Arrival Of the Caiformia-Her News-er Cargo Of Gold
Her Passengrs- The Passengers Of the Crescent
City &C., &c.
have the pleasure Of At length addressing you, and
of announcing you the arrival in Panama of the long
looked for steamer California, the 22d of May last
after rather long passage Of twenty eight days, prn
cpally owing to the scarcity and inferorty Of her
coal The information she brings sets ut rest all doubts
respecting the mineral wealth Of the gold
gons As earnest Of its existence she brought with
her about milon--six hundred thousand eonsign-
ment, and the balance belonging to fifty or sixty
miners who returning with the fruits Of their
labor to enjoy 1t in civilized country. Several Of
these miners passengers the Crescent City
Many Of them started the British steamer Tsy, that
left Chagres two days before the Crescent City arrived
with the intention Of taking other vessels ct Havana
for the United States.
The news from San Francisco, in a social or moral
point of view, is certainly not fattering Society
and its laws actually at stand STILL Many Of the
successful diggers hasten to San Francisco and
t. y1,okt
to accumulate with months of incesssnt toll and pri
walton. The usual sharks Of society (gamblers) are
reaping golden harvest they in fact monopolize the
few hotels In San Francisco and make regular hclis OF
them. Cold gold appears to be the all absorbing pur
suit Of every one everything else is lost sight Of by
all classes, from the blackeg to the divine. In Cali
forna is witnessed the extraordinary sight Of a vast
soncoursc of men-women out OF the question, as
the few that went there with their husbands eav
ing the country daily without the slightest percep
tible distinction in caste. You look In vain for the
newer Of wood and drawer Of water all strictly
equal The enormous compensation given to me-
chanies and laborers has actually annhated every
fornia which this arrival has placed in possession
Of is the fact that ought to emgrae except those
Injured to bardshpB-men OF unnching resolution and
fImness Of purpose, capable Of the most trying toll
Gold though atonshingy abundant still requires the
greatest exertion to procure it, 1t is actual folly for
those whose prospects in life attering to abandon
q life Of comfort or comparative ease for treasures
gained ut tuch prices but to those bold and taring
midst Of the widest extravaganza pursue the firm pur-
pose pushing their fortune despite Of and
obstacles to those their fortune is certain IL life Is
spared.
The news at Panama unimportant, except that
by the steamer he Oregon had sailed for San Francis
CO on the 22d Of May. The humboldt had also left,
not, however before very serious row occurred on

arrangements for sailing were completed the passen

discovered to the dsmay Of oil, that there

on board during the night; the steerage and second
