1t is feared, says the Jacksonville SEN
tinel, that trapper named Walker, living
on Beaver creek just across the State line,
in Siskiyou county, has met with some
mlshap or is dead. Last week one Of

We learn, says the Jacksonville Sentinel,
there are now over three hundred Chinese
at work on the railroad south of Roseburg,
and that Within month there will be at
least a thousand. Miller & Son have about
thirty men employed driving piles and con-
structiug bridges. They will add largely
to their force as soon as timbers are ready
for the bridges across the South Umpqua
and Myrtle creek. Eight car loads of steel

Brother Nixon, of the Yreka Journal,
thinks route may be found for the rail-
road between Yreka and the Siskiyous
which would allow an easy grade all the
way to the summit, and thus avoid the
necessity of a tunnel. 1t is quite probable
that such grade could be obtained on the
California side of the mountains, but it is
the approach to the pass from this side of
the mountain that makes a tunnel neces-
sary. The summit of the pass Is about 400
feet too high to be reached from this side
with practicable grade, and the tunnel is
to cut off this 400 feet of altitude. Ash

Covelo is not the only locality in Mendo-
cino county where deer are being constant
iy killed for their hides. By little effort
on the part of the Sportsmen's Association
at least half dozen additional cases could
be found, says the Ukiah Democrat.
