News From California

San Francisco, 81. Intelligence from the
seat of the Modoc war is that Capt. Jack is
evidently contemplating a raid upon the set
Element near Battle creek within forty miles
of Ireka. In the recent fight the Indians
captured seven guns and considerable guam
tity Of ammunition. An eye witness says
that the troops fought with determined brav-
cry but could not see their foes. Once only
during the day did the Indians manifest
willingness TO fight in the open field and
company of soldiers charged upon them when
they fled to their rocky coverts. A dense fog
protected each party and prevented the In
dians picking off the troops at long range.
The Oregon volunteers, acting as a rear
guard, made a gallant fight, and prevented
the wounded, the howitZers and camp equip
ages from falling into the hands Of the Mo-
does Capt. Jack preserves regular military
dieispline and drills his men every day, with
the assistance of persons well acquainted
with military tactics and ambushng and who
are all supposed to be regegadc whites who
have become their allies
Much excitement was created at Yreka BY
the report that AIodoc scout was seen in
that vicinity, bat the report is pronounced
unfounded. Nothing has been heard from
the troops since they left this city on Monday
The men wounded in the fight with the Mo
docs are doing WELL No further deaths have
occurred. Gen. Wheaton has established his
headquarters at Lone Tree and will COM
mence active operations on the arrival of re-
Inducements. He has detatchments station
ed to prevent the ssvages raiding on the set
Elements.

Railroad Building Last I'ea..

The extension of railroads during 1872 was
much less than had been expected. Only
1,Gl3 miles of new roads were built, against
1873 in 1871 and 7,433 in 1870 We have
now a total length of 10, IFS miles, with 49,
600 more in progress, making the entire
length when all the roads are completed, liz,
lis miles. Illinois has greater length of
road (6,eol miles) than any other state; New
York, the second on the list, having just p
coo less. Rhode Island has l39 miles. In
the United States, as a whole, there is one
mile of railroad to every 442.l square miles,
sos inhabitants and S2o2,54l of property
valuation. In the States alone there is one
mile of road to every 2S.G square miles Of
territory.
The progress of railroad building has been
very rapid since 1913, although it fell off
greatly during the war, and only about one
thousand miles per annum were added al that
period. Since then, however, i. has advanc
ed with astonishing swiftness. We have now
a mileage more than four times as large as
that of Great Britain, and more than five
times as large as that of France or Germany.
With the growth of the system its cost has
also increased, but our roads are still the
cheapest in the world; fact not altogether
satisfactory. The earnings of nineteen lead
ing roads for the year ending November 80
show net increase of Sl2,0ll 1902.
