PACIFIC COAST MATTERS.

! Los ANGELES. July 25.-Dayligh'
was seen through tunnel 10 in Soledad
to day. 1t is some 223 feet in length
Track is now laid to about ten miles
this side Mojsve Station. This leaves
sixty-five miles between there and San
Fernando Tunnel.
ELKo, New, July PA wash-out
on the Central Pacific railroad yester-
day, miles east of here, caused the
ditching of freight train consisting
of fifteen cars. The express train
which left here for the east at $40, was
notified this side of the wreck and re-
turned here to wait until the road was
clear. At 3 p. m. the track being re-
paired, it started, having been delayed
TWENTY-FIVE hours. The wreck is bad
one, cars being piled on top each 9th
er, and some broken to pieces.
EUREKA, New, July 24.-The storm
which for the past few days has been
raging here, eliminated last night IN a
repetition of the disaster that visited
this place few years ago, though thus
far the town has escaped the effects of
the deluge.
LATER-It is now raining very hard !;
black clouds enclosing mountain tops,
vivid lightning and heavy claps of
thunder increase the terror of resi-
dents, many Of whom are packing up
effects and seeking safety in flight TO
mountains. Streams from the noun
tains are rapidly swelling.
One p. m. Whistles at Richmond
smelling works are now sounding an
alarm, warning people of the danger
and fire bells are sounding. Stores are
being closed, and the cry of water is
coming" is heard everywhere. The
greatest confusion reigns. Water is
pouring down Buell. and Spring streets,
and the southern part of town is roar
ing mass of water. People dot the
hills. So far the big canal has proved
sufficient to carry vast amount of wa
ter through the town with but little
damage, although many houses have
been flooded and washed away.
LATER.-The water is receding and
clouds drifting westward. Damage
will amount to $4,000 in town. The
flood came nearly at the precise time
as that which took place ten years
perhaps two) ago to-day.

EDITOR CITIZEN The most noticea
bic change in this village lately is the
large increase in the number of stores
Building is constantly gong on anC
still there are not enough houses tC
supply the demand, Messrs. S. Mund &
Co. have just completed fine store and
house, which will be managed by
Messrs. Soloman & Shultz, undoubtedly
efficient merchants. Judging from then
first shipment of stock, they will have
a very fine assortment upon the arrival
of the balance of their goods. Messrs
VIM. B. Hellings & Co., of Salt River
have stock of -four here, but the -four
trade is not as lively as one would ex
pect to find it. Among other improve
ments is hotel in process of construc
ton by W. H. Long, of Silver King
fame. 1t will be under the immediate
supervision of mine host, c. W. Whit
low. There is also saloon and chor
house being put up by J. F. Sibbald
late of the Elliot House. The sale OF
the horses, harness, hay and coaches
of the Arizona and New Mexico Elk
press Company has just been finished
the total netting $3.50, which is con.
sidered good. Messrs. Calisher & Co.,
late of Anaheim, California, have lust
cleared the old store of E. n. Fish &
Co, which they will fill with a stock
of merchandise now on the way. Quite
a storm passed over this place on the
2lst instant, blowing down many trees
and making houses leak that never were
known to leak before. A very warm
spell has followed, and through the
kindness Of operator John Carroll. of
the signal service office here, l give
you the average heat during the week ::
Is am. 50 degrees; 2 p. m. 90 degrees I;
8p. m. "a degrees. Amount of rain

Grain still pours in in large guam
titles, but silver bullion in small lots
and | am unable to give exact figures.
The teams of Mat Cavaness passed
through here on Monday with ore from
the Silver King, as nearly as could
learn 10000 pounds. Only one mine
of note has been discovered lately. ac-
cording to miners coming in; it is
named the Blue Dick, and is located
in the vicinity of the Ramboz. where
they also report very rich strike, with a
vein of high grade ore, % inches wide.
Matters are reported not as lively in
Globe City as last month. A number
have left for new fields, but those who
come in are satisfied with the richness
OF the surrounding country and predict
great things yet for the City. Notwith-
standing the favorable reports going
to San Francisco, strange to say for
once we have no capitalists" on hand,
looking for big things and man to
lend them horse" The health of the
town has been good, considering the
quantities of melons and cucumbers
eaten, and there have been no deaths.
The money market is short with most
persons; the "marOmas. in othe.
words, the DEMONSTRATING been in
town for a week, probably explains
this state of the finances, as that gen.
orally cramps the money market.
