SHALL THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD ESCAPE?

The Lewis bill which passed the house SO
triurnphantly few days ago still fingers in
the hands of the Senate Committee on Rail
roads. What satisfactory explanation can be
made for this delay There yet remain but
five working days In those five days the
solemn pledges of every member of the Sen
ate aud Assembly must either be fulfilled or
disregarded. What will be the result To
be influenced by the specious arguments of
the railway attorneys is to be misled by the
distorted statements and shallow sophistries
of hired agents, whose mouths are filed, be-
forehand, with the set phrases of special
pleading. 1t Is by needing just such talk
these many years that Legislatures have been
swerved from their duty to the people. The
Lewis bill promises most benefcent results.
The relief to be expected from it will be felt
by all classes. Delay at this juncture is sim
ply destructive. Let every earnest man in
and out of the committee urge prompt and
speedy action upon this most necessary and
very vital measure.

A QUEER CASE.

Yesterdays Reno Journal relates a very
queer case in the District Court of Washoe
County as follows:
Nearly year ago the civil case of VIM
Ricord vs.. the c. p R. r. Co. was tried IN
the District Court. The jury returned a YER
dict for the plaintiff, allowing him as damages
for false Imprisonment, the sum of 81, 900.
After the verdict was given and before the
Judgment was recorded Judge Wright asked
the plaintiffs attorneys, will the Jurors fees
be paid! Gen. R. NJ Clark, one of Records
attorneys said that they would. That he
could not pay them at that time as the bank
was closed, and the defendant did not have
sufficient money in hand to pay the entire
amount, but would do 50 the next day. The
railroad company did not pay the 81, 200 and
have not done so as far as we know. At all
events the jurors fees have never been paid.
The full time of the jurors, with their travel
ing expenses etc, for their services during
that term of court, was made out, sworn to
and presented before the Board of County
Commissioners for allowance. The Board
allowed all the jurors time, ETC., except for
the Ricord case, holding that the county had
no right to pay the jury fees in this civil
case. Here the matter sumbered until some
five weeks ago, when the fact was developed
that the Jurors had turned their accounts over
to the Reno Saving Bank and that the latter
had employed as it's attorney Gen. r. M.
Clarke, who now has commenced suit against
this county for the above Jurors fees The
District Attorney of this county demurred to
the complaint, but his demurrer has been
overruled, since it contained matter which
should have appeared in an answer. The
court gave him certain time in which to file
his answer and last week he presented the
same. Of course the jurors ought to have
their fees, but Gen. Clarke never promised
that he would pay them, and the county is
under no obligation to do so.

PACIFIC COAST DISPATCHES.

Mokelumne Hill, Cal, Feb 28.-Two
fishermen, named Allesandro Batty and
Michel, were on the night of the 9Th inst
in boat hauling in their seins, near the
mouth OF the Mokelumne river, and while
doing so a schooner ran afoul of their nets,
causing angry words to be exchanged between
the occupants of the two boats. Suddenly
six shots were fired in rapid succession from
the schooner one taking effect in Batty'
back The night was too dark to per-
mt of the schooner's name being ascer-
tained and she quickly sailed away out
of sight, Michel took his wounded
companion to Antioch for treatment, and on
the day following he was brought back to
this city and removed to the French Hospital,
where he died yesterday morning from the
effects of his wound. The Coroner held an
inquest in the case. No new facts were eliciteda
and the jury returned verdict that the de-
ceased was murdered by parties unknown.

THE BIG DITCH OF WASHOE.

Says the Reno Journal of yesterday
From one hundred and fifty to two hundred
Cinnamon are at work the Truckee and
Steamboat Irrigation Ditch. This large ditch
will be thirty three miles in length when COM
pleted. About fifteen miles of it is already
dug and the contractors design having it fin
ished and in sometime during the coming
Summer. Ten miles of it from the river is
now completed The above force is at work
at several points along the line of the ditch.
The energetic China contractor is carrying the
work rapidly forward. We learn that larger
force will soon be added to those already at
work. The contract was let for S36, 900, but
with the Incidental expenses the ditch when
completed will cost at least $40, 900. 1t will,
however, prove most valuable piece of prop
erty, since by it several thousand acres of
land now lying idle will be put in cultivation.
The ditch will tap the Truckee river at point
Just above Verdi, extend along the foothills
west and southwest of Reno and terminate
between Browns Station and Steamboat
Springs.

A Chfnaman arrived from San Francisco

1t appears that the dead Chinaman was
member of secret organization, "allee slame
Flee Mason they call it, and Ju Jing the
new arrival, represents that order. The re-
mains of All Gwee, however, will be kept two
or three days longer, until the arrival of his
uncle, unless news is received by telegraph
this afternoon that he is not coming, in which
case the funeral will take place tomorrow.
The ice and carbolic acid are keeping him
from accompanying, and no obnoxious odors
can be perceived where he is lying. |

A MINERS OPINION OF AN ARIZONA
CAMP

A letter has been received by a Ruby Hill
miner, from Tombstone District, Arizona,
from which we have been kindly permitted to
make the following extract;
am at last in land of sunshine, where
winters storms never howl. Although here
but SIX days, | have seen enough of the mines
to be convinced that it is one of the best
camps on the American Continent. Bodie is
but an infant compared to what this camp will
he one year from to-day. 1t lies Is miles
southeast from Tucson, and five miles east of
the San Pedro river, the south fork of the ella.
The ores are quartz and grey carbonate,
abo0t one-half milling, the balance smelling.
The ores are of high grade, aud experts pro-
nounce it worth 5000 per ton, but [ should
put it at a less figure. Some of the finest top
veins | have ever seen are to be found here,
and run all the way from one to ten feet in
width, The formation is porphyry, granite
and limestone. As promising as the camp is,
it is the slowest place [ have ever struck,
There is only three small stores, three saloons,
one butchershop, two blacksmith shops, one
boarding house and one feed stable, and an
assay office. The town is a curious one, and
100 tents greet the eye eff the stranger.
The weather here now is about like October
In Nevada, warm days and cool nights.
If this camp was located in Nevada there
would be 10000 people here, but capital and
populations seem to avoid this Territory.
