popularity in California. II IL be true,
according to Shakespeare, that "ricf
gifts wax poor when the giyer proves
unkind," the reverse Of the proposition
Is equally so. Within year the old
controversial between the railways
and the people would BIO forgotten; and
IN era Of genuine good will, profitable
to both, aud thoroughly in the interest
OF development on the Pacific Coast,
would be inanguratod; which would
be, we think, hearts ease to the
railway people and death to the
sordid and calculating demagogue.
The wonder to us has been that the
experiment has not been tried, on a
wholesale scale, long ago. There's
millions in it" to the no doubt heavily
fatigued railway millionnires, who must,
by this time, be about tired standing
guard over their tremendous boards.
They can safely dismiss the constable

bubble the moment they get down into

masses.

THERE are all kinds of tricks in trade,
and perhaps the attempt to beguile peo-
pie to Alaska on the strength Of ore dis
coveries reported to have been made by
Ed Schieffelin who, with perfectly
equipped vessel, started to cruise in
Alaska waters last year, is one of the
most transparent. There is no doubt
that the discoverer OF the Tombstone
district in Arizona will find ore in
Alaska If that fact can be accomplished
by any living human being. But the
statement which first appeared in the
San Francisco Bulletin, of January 18th,
to the effect that he had already made
discoveries, is on invention out of whole
cloth. His father. Mr.. c. Schiefelin,
one Of the City Councilmen Of Los An
geles, informs us that his son Ed has
not written line to relative since ht
left the Yukon river, months ago. Those
who desire to see Alaska--and the TRIP
is highly interesting ons-should by
all means 20 there; but no one who aims
to make living, or to enrich himself
should go noar that frigid region unit
he hears from it accounts which hav,
some appearance Of reliability.

The railway which has been built
from Carson to Bodie has not had the
slightest idea Of stopping in its onward
career. 1t has pushed steadily towards
Inyo county from Bodie, and announces
the ambitious purpose of building on
till it strikes the Southern Pacific at
Mojave junction. This fact is reminis-
cont OF local scheme, whose abandon
ment caused keen regret to the genuine
wel.wishers Of Los Angeles, viz, Senator
Joness Los Angeles and Independence
Railway. But for the collapse in the
personal fortunes OF this public.spirited
and enterprising gentleman we would
long ago have had a railway connection
between Los Angeles and lnyo and Mono
counties, Notwithstanding the indiffer
ence of our own local capitalists. There
can be no question, however, that the
extension of the Carson road to Mojave
would guarantee to Los Angeles the
trade which she enjoyed of old in Inyo
and Mono counties. We heartily wish
il God-speed.
