FOREMAN DICKSON

FOREMAN Die X SON TO AT o&NRY CORKHILI
Foreman Dickson, of the late star route
jury, has sent the following to District Attor-
ney Corkhill:
To Gen. d. Corkhill, ESQ, United States Dis
trict Attorney:
DEAR SIR am informed that you have
been ordered by the Attorney general to hand
to II. II. Wells, + q , the afiidavts that were
filed by me and others that we're in your Office,
in which certain persons are charged with
having tried to corrupt jury in the star route
cases. am also told that you have complied
with this order. / write for the purpose Of
protesting against your action. and that of the
attorney general, in this behalf. Most serious
charges have been made against agents Of the
department of Justice, even the attorney gen.
eral and nothing could be more absurd than to
allow the department to investigate these
charges. The attorney general should be I'M
willing to investigate charges that SO nearly
touch his official conduct, end the fact that he
wishes to take charge of the investigation is
the best reason he should not The investiga
ton might with equal propriety be left to the
defendants or their attorneys, or to the per
sons charged with having offered the brides
to the jurors suspected Of having accepted
them. The investigation should be under the
direction of the urt before whom the cases
were tried, and by the attorney for this dis
trict, 1t should be as open as day, and all
parties should have not only change of be-
ing heard, but Of hearing. For one, e
mand that this investig alton shall be taken out
of interested hands.
am. sir, very respectfully yours,
VIM DICKSON.

SPECIAL FROM EAGLE'S NEST.
Progress of the Railroad Work There as
Reported by a Light Commissioners.

Your correspondent has just visited Strow-
bridges Chinese camp. There are located
upwards of twenty-five hundred Chinese, and
about four hundred white laborers There is
also q remarkably fine outfit of machinery, etc.,
about seven hundred good horses and four
hundred wagons acd carts. Mr.. Strowbridge
has built the road from the California end, and
has built it rapidly and almost regardless Of
expense. The powder used alone costing al
most as much as contractor would ordin J
have made for the entire work, but speed and
not expense has been the main point. Many
wagons are now engaged in hauling bridge
mate ial from the end of thhe track to the site
of the bridge at Eagles Nest, and the bridge
will 60 up rapidly.
Strowbridge sends back all Chinese except
plate layers when he completes tract to the
Nest.
The Chinese are treated more like slaves
than anything else, they are drove round and
sometimes used severely, if they don't work
to suit the bosses. The eagle Nest City,
has grown very small owing to the many
camps having removed. Responsibilities fcl
the future, point to it as the site OF railroad
depot and town of some Importance.
The only camps near here, beyond Strow
BRIDGES, are those of w. N. Monroe and J.
C. Howard. FRED. LOCKER.
LATER took another run out to the end
of the track to see how the Chinese were pro-
crossing and find that they have made good
progress. They have struck some hard rock
cut which required good deal of work getting
through The end of the track is within two
miles of the Nest. The bridge timber is
ready at the Nest. In addition restle work
there will be home truss, having $50 fee
