Developing His Plans.

The object of Senator JONES in run
ming the Santa Monica wharf out to
water of sufficient depth to accommo-
date the largest class of steamers was
probably more comprehensive than
anticipated by many of our citizens at
the time the order was made. 1t is
presumed that much of the richest ore
that will hereafter be taken from the
Panamint, Coso and other mines in
Inyo county can be more protitably
and advantageously reduced by send
ing it to England than by crushing it
at the mills in the vicinity of the
mines. The most direct route over
which this ore can be shipped to Swan
sea is down the coast from this city to
Panama, over the Panama Railroad to
Aspinwall, and thence by way of st.
Thomas to England. Senator JONES
seems to be preparing the route for the
shipment of this ore. He is building
a railroad from the mines to Santa
Monica; at that point he is building a
wharf to water deep enough to float
the Panama steamers, and he has be-
come part owner and President of the
Panama Railroad. Thus he controls
all the railroad over which the ore
from his mines will travel on its way
to the reduction works at Swansea. If
he finds it necessary to his plans to
place his own steamers on the water
portion of the route, he has the means
and nerve to do so. Another and pri-
mary advantage which his control of
the Panama road will give him, is the
rapid transportation of his own SUP
plies and material. While JONES
holds control of the Panama railroad
he is able to WELD powerful influ-
ence against the monopoly of the
freighting business by the overland
railroad and the steamship company,
and he may use his power in the es-
tablishment of an opposition steam
ship line between New York and San
Francisco, which will prove a fortu-
nate turn of the wheel for the people
of the Pacific Coast. One thing is
quite certain-the Senator is expand
ing his plans and giving evidence of
possessing much longer head than
he has been credited with.

the history of the country, and as un-
accountable as unequaled. Why the
rush commenced is mystery. How
everybody expected to live after they
reached the gold slope, is "a problem
that no one has ever been able to
solve. And yet in the month of March
$500 persons passed Kearney Junction
bound for San Francisco, and of this
number over seven thousand were
persons who had in all probability ex-
pended their last dollar to pay railroad
fare.
Gentlemen who have just returned
from San Francisco Inform us that
the prospect of making a living there
is little less than any other place
they have ever. seen. Hundreds OF
able-bodied men, who had spent their
last dollar for transportation, are beg
ging bread in the streets and sleeping
in barns and out houses. The picture
drawn is distressing in the extreme
and affords an excellent illustration Of
the old saying, All that glitters is not
gold.p
We are informed, also, that numbers
who have tried the golden experiment
daily pass Kearney Junction on their
way East. Most of them are dead
broke" and are aiming to dead beat'
their way home. They say they have
been bitterly deceived, and if they can
reach the " old stamping ground "
again, they won't be very easily in
duced to leave it. a
The golden bubble has about
bursted. s
We can excuse the inelegant pero-
ration, "the golden bubble has about
bursted," but we cannot pass without
comment the infamous lies contained
in the editorial. The editor cannot
account for the rush to California, and
yet he has published day after day
notices of California's contributions
to feed the starving Kansans. Why
the rush commenced is a mystery C)
and it is equally mystery why rats
leave sinking ship, why people leave
tottering houses in an earthquake.
Kansas is starving and California
is feeding her, so it is just as natural
for her people to emigrate as for old
Jacob to send his sons to Egypt for
corn. People go where they can get
money and food, and where they can
live in comfort. Industrious men can
get work anywhere in California. Our
farmers need hands, our contractors
need mechanics and improvements
need capital Capital is welcome,
skilled labor is needed and common la
Dor is well paid. We have room for
all the inhabitants of Kansas in Los
Angeles county, and then we can lay
Kansas across the ends of Los Angeles
and San Diego counties, without
crowding the people. Perhaps the ed
itor of the Monitor can see it in this
light.

Blowing.
schemes.

We may in California draw the long
bow occasionally, but still the truth
seems almost incredible. When we
compare our gigantic products with
the pigmy products of the East, their
surprise at our large stories is excusa-
BILE. When they hear of our conquer
ing nature and chaining the noun
tain torrent, so that it becomes the
peaceful irrigating ditch, a smile of
incredulity overspreads the face of the
Eastern tourist. In view of these
facts it may be well to give him the
whole story by degrees. Don't tell him
that an orange orchard in this county
has l00,00 trees, but break it gently
to him that the owner OF small or
chard receives for his annual crop
princely income, without touching it.
Don't mention your grapes by the ton
or your wine by the thousand gallons,
but commence quietly by telling him
that grapes sell at seventy five cents
to one dollar per hundred pounds, and
he will have a realizing sense of their
abundance. The following from the
San Diego World is apropos:
We have heard gentlemen complain
of these things-so much fulsome bra
gadocio, as they called it. There may
be some Justice in the complaints. We
hope not. Still people viii think SO.
Among strangers it has proven to be a
proverd, almost, that Californians
overdraw their statements, and there
are two ways in which we may ex-
plain that matter, In the first place,
it is not good policy to tell the whole
story at once to new corners. Ifyou
say you have pumpkins that will
weigh thirty or forty pounds, that is
as much as their weak stomachs can
stand at time. If you tell them your
pumpkins will weigh seventy or
hundred pounds, they conclude you
are blowing, or have no pumpkins. If
you write back home that team will
move 10000 pounds, they will believe
you have unwittingly added a nought
too much, because they do not do busi-
ness that way back East, and so on ad
intiaitatna. Better go little slow with
them. Give them such doses as
they can take, and, withal, be little
modest even with that. There is too
much "blown in our newspapers, and
occasionally in some of the people.
The State can be better presented by
less of it, and more real facts. But the
thing works both ways like a two
edged sword

Homicide In AmadOr County.

JACKSON, CAL, May IA shooting
affray occurred last evening on the
road between Plymouth and Drytown,
during which David Ryall shot and it
is believed mortally wounded a man
named Michael Pierson. The cause of
the trouble is a lawsuit between them.
Pierson was driving along the road
with a son of Ryalps on the wagon
seat, when he was met by Ryall, who
with shotgun in hand, ordered Pierson
to get down and come to a settlement.
Pierson got down and said he wanted
to explain matters, when Ryall raised
his gun to shoot. Pierson caught it,
and while trying to get it away, Ry-
all drew revolver, firing two shots,
one ball lodging in Persons stomach
and the other in his arm. Ryall then
fired another shot at his own son, but
failed to hit him. Ryall was arrested
and is in Jail there. A dispatch this
morning reports Persons death.

One of the finest improvem ments in
the city will be the rebuilding of the
Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others, such as cottons, table,
linen, etc., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-
vince themselves Of the great bar
gains. Such bargains they can never
get again, and in order to prevent q
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of.the building of
the Lafayette Hotel. al6

EVERYTHING must have an end in
this world. A poor mans rights will
hang in law like mser's fingers to a
half eagle, but it must come out at last.
And so the seemingly interminable
suit of PICo VS. CUYAs-the Jarndyce
and Jarndyce of Los Angeles-has
reached period which it is to be
hoped is final. 1t is to be desired now
that the law has given him possession
of the property, Mr.. CUYAs will
hasten the opening of the Pico House
as first class hotel. 1t is greatly
needed.

SANTA BARBARA is promised a
harvest of newspapers. She now has
one daily and two weeklies, and two
more dailies are soon to be started.
One of the new ventures is to be sort
of female organ, and the other an out
and out advocate of Republican prin-
ciples and nominees. The money in.
vested in these two daily papers is
just so much cash thrown away.
Santa Barbara now has two weeklies
and one daily paper. They occupy
the field fully and completely, and
the attempt to make room for more is
simply to import lot of new type
and presses which will ultimately
pass into the hands of JOHNSON, of
the Press, at the price of old material.

CROP reports from the different
parts of the county are very favorable.
In the vicinity of Anaheim, Orange
and Tustin the grain presents fine
appearance and the crop will be good.
The same report comes from Los Nj
etos and surroundings. In San Jose
valley the wheat and barley has come
out splendidly within the last two
weeks and the prospect for a fair crop
is very good. From San Fernando
valley, where two weeks ago it was
feared nothing would be grown, we
have reports that considerable grain
will he harvested. The cool, cloudy
weather and heavy fogs of the last
fortnight have done wonders for the
San Fernando grain fields. Alto
gether the reports from the farmers OF
this county are good and assure US
that while in other portions of the
State nothing will be harvested, here
the husbandman will reap fair re-
ward for his labor

THEY do things in manner pecu-
liarly their own up in San Francisco.
For instance, former grand jury
called a number of teachers in the
public schools before it, and from them
learned that the position of teacher
was being sold to the highest bidder
for cash. The grand jury hauled the
Board of Education over the GOALS,
and the Board of Education investi-
gated the matter to the extent of dis
charging the teachers who had given
the information to the grand jury,
thus offering premium to those hav-
ing knowledge of an irregularity to
keep it to themselves. Now comes
another grand jury, and after censur-
ing the action of the Board of Educa-
ton, urges the reinstatement of the
dismissed teachers. Curious people,
those Yerba Buena settlers.

The Situation.

Our latest private advices from San
Francisco place the Democratic can
didates for Governor something in
this wise: FARLEY has dropped out Of
the contest. ROACH is making a
single-handed fight on his merit and
honesty, and as he is willing that the
Convention shall make its nomina-
tion on this basis, he is making no
exertion to secure the election of del
egates pledged to himself. JAMES l..
ENGLISH of Sacramento, one of the
noblest Romans of them all, is pursu-
ing like policy, and is making many
stauncli friends by so doing. RYLAND
of Santa Clara is making a kind of
guerrilla fight, but there is but little
system and no great amount of
strength ir his campaign. Ex-Con-
gresham JOHNSON has some preten-
sions, and will secure portion of the
San Francisco delegation. His
SIlSliS III outoluc VI VIC SioJ 10 hoo
known. At this time it is, perhaps,
nothing; though trading and combi-
nation may give him respectable
number OF votes in the Convention.
J. 2. HoGE is out of the contest. He
fell by the wayside-fell beneath the
clubs of those who pretended to be his
friends and induced him to make the
venture. The Colonel is scalped, or
would have been, had his caput not
been in the condition of that of Gun
Gle Nedu of minstrel fame. 1t is just
as well that the Colonel is Knocked on
the head. He has been rather an or
namental than useful appendage to
the Democratic party for some
years, and in those days when
it was not very popular to be a Demo-
crat, he was never unduly vehement
in protesting his principles. THOMAS
FINDLEY, of Nevada county, and WILL
LIAM IRWIN, of Sskiyou county,
though as unlike as chalk and cheese,
and whose personal regard for each
other is nothing like so warm as the
friendship of DAMON and PYTHIAs or
that or STEVE GAGE aud MARCUS d.
BoRUCK, must be considered together,
for the simple reason that while FIND
LEY is much the stronger and better
man, certain influences in the city
while ostensihly working for FINLEY
are in fact trying to steal his strength
to be used in securing the nomination
of IRWIN. 1t is understood among IR-
WINS managers that when delegations
cannot be secured for him they will
be given to FINDLEY in the expecta-
tion that after the first two or three
ballots they can be manipulated in the
interest of IRWIN. FINDLEY nor his
friends are aware of this well laid
scheme 10y Which it is hoped to defeat
his nomination, and secure that of the
man of all Others to whom he is most
| opposed. The object of the IRWIN
managers has leaked out and its pub
licity will probably work their defeat
unless they can show that FINDLEY
made combination with them. This
of course, they cannot do. The Spring
Valley Water Company and one o.
two other powerful corporations of Sar
Francisco are secretly throwing thei
influence for IRWIN, which is an indi'
cation that they have selected him as
the man of all others on whom they
can rely not to do anything which
will interfere with themselves or theil
schemes.

Fatal Accident to a Teamster-LarSe
Fire Raging.


MARYsvILLE, May 1st.-This after
noon, as a teamster named Thomas
Miller was driving a six-horse team,
loaded with goods for Eureka, Nevada
county, when about three miles from
town, fell from his wagon and was run
over, the wheels passing over the lower
part of his head, killing him instantly.
The team went about a quarter of a
mile further on and was stopped by
running into telegraph pole. An
inquest was held and a verdict of acci-
dental death by being run over was
rendered. Deceased, who was ma
tive of Ireland, aged As years, and an
old resident of this city, leaves a wife
and four children.
