SAN FRANCISCO, July 12th.-A let
ter received here this morning from
VIM. Phillips, Superintendent of the
Florence mine, on the klamath
river, about 100 miles to the
Northeast of Eureka, reports the
miners, who number about twenty
five, in imminent danger on account
of the outbreak of hostilities on the
part of the Hoopa Indians. The Hoopa
Reservation is in the Southern part of
klamath county, and of late the In
dians have been restless and turbu-
lent, owing, it is said, to the bad man.
agement of the agent. Recently about
$50 of them, In war paint, camped
near the mine and annoyed and threat
ened the miners, holding them in fear
of their lives. On the 18th of June,
Raymond, the carpenter of the mine,
was shot dead by an Indian bullet.
The Indians then surrounded the mine
and forced the men to quit work.
Phillips sent courier to Camp CASTOR
for assistance, and small detachment
of soldiers arrived on the 2Sth of June.
The Indians did not fear them, they
being so few in number. They told
Phillips that the miners must leave,
and they would waste no more time
talking. Phillips writes that the sit
uation is very critical. His letter was
laid before General Schotield to-day,
who promises to furnish an adequate
protection. Hon. J. X. Luttrell says
the trouble arises from the swindling
of the Indians by agents.

A Great Work.

Any one desiring to obtain some
idea of the stupendous accomplish
ments of railroad engineering, should
spend few days in Tehachape Pass,
investigating the operations of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
About twenty miles of that road is a
succession of cuts, fills and tunnels.
Within this distance there are thir-
teen tunnels, ranging from eleven
hundred feet to few yards in length.
For the greater portion of the way the
road bed is cut through solid granite.
The elevation is so great from the
present terminus of the road at CAL
iente to Tehachape valley that the
first mile and half out of Caliente is
attained by laying down eight miles
of track. Higher up in the Pass the
road runs through tunnel, encircles
the hill and passes few feet above
the tunnel. After completely encir-
cling the hill and going half around
again, the track doubles on itself like
a closely pursued hare, and after run
ming several miles in the opposite di-
rection, strikes off up the cafIon.
This circling and doubling is for grade.
Once the track crosses the Pass, and
this involves the building of long
and very high bridge. We doubt if a
more difficult and expensive piece of

State Geologists.

California, a mineral State, with
seams of gold, veins of silver, beds of
coal, deposits of lead and almost every
other mineral known to the kingdom,
in vast quantities extending over her
length and breadth, has never had an
industrious and thoroughly practical
State Geologist. The researches of
such scientist would be of incalcula-
BILE value in aiding the development
of our mineral wealth, and it is to be
regretted that the services of such
man were not secured years ago. But
as they were not we can only regret
the deficiency and hope that the great
want may be met in the near future.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
have been spent in State geological
research, and except the vouchers to
show that the money was promptly
drawn, we have nothing in return.
DIR. TRAsK accomplished nothing tan
gible or practical, and Professor
WHITNEY was an ornamental append
age to the State expenditures of about
the same utility as a fifth wheel to q
wagon or an additional tail to a pup
py. He was a fancy geologist, who
did not know slate from granite or
quartz from feldspar. He drew vast
sums from the State Treasury and
spent it in searching for the particular
peak which should bear his name
down to future generations. He said
there was no coal in the Diablo range,
though vast beds have since been
found there, and if in 1850 he had
carefully examined the formation
about Mount Davidson he would have
sworn there was no silver in all Ne
vada. We have had sufficiency of
this class of State Biologists, and we
hope no more such will be foisted on
the people. 1t appears to us that we
might obtain much valuable geologi-
cal information through having COM
petent Professor of Geology in the
State University. He might spend
his Summers among our hills and
mountains, and in order to create a
desire for the study of geology it would
perhaps be well that he be empowered
to select from among the students at
the University party of ten or twelve
who should accompany him on his
tours of investigation at the States
expense. Those who developed an in
terest in this branch of science would
of course. be selected for other trips.
If this plan was carried on from year
to year young and enthusiastic geo.
logical students would be found and
educated, while the State would be
obtaining valuable information con-
cerning her innumerable mineral Sec
tions.

WEDNESDAY,........JULY IA, 1915.

GRANGE, who killed MADDEN near
ly a year ago, has been found guilty of
murder in the first degree and sem
fenced to Imprisonment for life. The
difference between the two young men
grew out of newspaper personalities.
Coarse charges against the mother of
GRANGE, which appeared in MAD
DEN's newspaper, brought about the
collision. Though there was much
provocation. yet the assassin like
manner in which GRANGE attacked
and killed MADDEN, is without the
slightest justification, and it is hardly
possible that his sentence will be
lightened.

An American Team.

LONDON, July 12th.--Colonel Glider
sleeve, Captain of the American Team,
has officially replied to the inquiry
from the agent of the Associated Press,
that 1t has been determined that the
Americans will not shoot in another
team match OIL this side of the Allan
tic. He says this is final, and adds
that the members are now separated
and cannot be brought together for
any purpose before next week. Five
or six of them would probably be glad,
as individuals, to shoot at Wimbledon
on Saturday, if the Lloyd cup is offered
free to all corners.
EDINBURGH, July 12th.-Mr. Robe
son, the American Consul, gave an
informal banquet to the American
Team tonight at the City Club. Sew
eral residents were present and ex-
pressed regret that there had been no
opportunity to give the Americans an
official reception and manifestation of
Scotland's kind feeling to the United
States. Colonel Gildersleeve says that
nearly all the members of the Team
will reach London ia time TO take part
individually at Wimbledon.

Fact and Fiction.

While the author of the "Coming
City, advertisements and the editors
of the subsidized press contine them
selves to literal facts and practical OBJ
servations, we have no disposition to
quarrel with or ridicule their PROPOSE
tions. It is only when they resort to
language such as was used by the an
clients in appeals to their mythical
gods that we enter our protest and re-
fuse to credit the existence of fancy
pictures, conjured by the magic pen of
the eloquent FITCH and dressed in
sentences appropriate to the highest
flights Of poetic imagery. The safe,
commodious aud, withal, beautiful
bay, looks we'll OH paper; but, alas!
for FITcH's Typographical knowledge,
he omitted to define its boundaries and
state that it extended from the beach
at Jonesville to the harbor at Yoko-
hama. That second Eden, which so
far surpassed the first that in place of
the willy serpent there are only few
harmless horned toads, is graphically,
even pathetically described; but the
slight mistake occurs of failing to
state that on the site of Jonesville no
tree or shrub has ever yet dared peep
above the surface of the ground, on
penalty OF being caught up by the
blast and swept miles inland. Those
shaded avenues and fragrant bowers
are fancy sketches that may become
reality when the wind ceases to blow.
Santa Monica is what it is, and what
it may become depends not on the
number of lots which, through florid
and untruthful advertisements, the
people may be induced to purchase,
but upon the advantages or disadvan-
tages it may develop as an embarca.
dero and watering place. No sensible
man who visits the locality will for a
moment entertain the story so dill
gently circulated that great city
must soon grow up there. It is prob
able Los Angeles would be- bepe-
flied could ten thousand people
be induced to purchase lots
at fabulous prices in Jonesville. The
money would be used in building
wharf and railroad from which we
should realize pecuniary profit. But
we do not want wharf and railroad
built on the blighted hopes Of thous-
ands of poor men. The prospects of
Los Angeles are not so Strengthened
that she must stoop to deception and
fraud in order to better her condition.
She does not wish to obtain money
under false pretenses, and she will not
absorb the hard earnings and careful
hoardings of the laboring masses
through the glamour of speculation
which could only attain its rosy hue
by the judicious distribution of thous-
ands of dollars among venal newspaper
publishers. Santa Monica will become
a landing place of note and value, and
her beach is now a place ofresort for sea
bathers, but the fine harbor in which
ships may ride in safety in all weather
and the coming city of 10000 inhabit-
ants are myths which do not and never
will exist. They are frauds intended
to dupe people out of their money.

engineering was encountered in the
building of the Central Pacific over
the Slerras, than that with which the
Southern Pacific is now struggling in
Tehachape Pass. Another tremendous
piece of work is the San Fernando
tunnel, which, when completed, will
be over one and one half miles in
length and, in places over one thous-
and feet beneath the surface. Yet the
company will accomplish this great
work and run ears through from San
Francisco to Los Angeles by the first
of next July. All the force that can
be used is kept at work on the San
Fernando tunnel. In the Tehachape
Pass five thousand men are employed
and the force is being increased at the
rate of one thousand Cinnamon per
week.

THE Call and Chronicle, both advo-
eating the Independent ticket, are
fighting like the Kilkenny cats. The
Call denounces the Chronicle as rail-
road organ, and the Chronicle retorts
that the Call sits on the fence and
shouts first for the Democrats and
then for the Independents. The real
truth is that in proportion to their edi-
torial ability both of these papers are
Dolly Warden in sentiment. The Call
has been in that camp since its organ
ization by BOOTH. The Chronicle but
recently came over from the Republi-
can camp, but being more vigorous
and much more ably edited paper than
the Call, 1t at once took front rank as
an Independent expounder. This has
excited the wrath of the older though
weaker leader, and war of crimina-
tion and re-crimination is inaugurated
in which good many ugly words are
used and good deal of dirty linen ex-
hibited. The cause of the Independ-
ent party is not materially advanced
by this mud singing.

tiOn In that Bloody Tragdey.
BEAVER (Utah), July l0th.-Some
doubt exists as to whether jury can
be obtained to try Lee. / am told,
however. that Danes name stands
first on the calendar, and it's probable
that he will be the first put OH trial.
One hundred names on the jury list,
many of whom are disqualified; from
alienship, inability to read and write
English, and other causes. If those
who remain are willing to swear as
recklessly as Saints generally swear,
and declare on oath that they know
nothing of the crime charged against
these men, and have never expressed
an opinion on the case, there will be
no trouble in
IMPANELI.ING A JURY,
Or if those on the jury-list should have
the same regard for an oath that is
generally shown in n Gentle COM
munity, there will no doubt be jury
drawn. Every resident has heard the
matter discussed in all its bearings
and most of them have personal knowl-
edge of the details. 1t is pretty posi-

the two accused. Judge Whedon,
Deputy United States Attorney, has q
list of fully sixty witnesses, one-third
Of whom have been subp9naed. The
remainder are in hiding, afraid to
show themselves. The appearance of

CAUSES A GENERAL STAMPEDE,
And thus it becomes difficult to get
hold of men. Lee is feeling very bad
ly and is in tears to-day. He refused
the proffered aid of the Marshal to
subpoena witnesses, and has had three
sons out riding about the country in
viting the friends of the prisoner to
come in with testimony, but none
have come. All the Saints seem to
hold the Court and law officers in holy
horror. The prosecution is ready for
trial. Judges Carr and Wheeler will

and Bishop are engaged for the de-
tense. The terms of the Court begins
