The Next aailroad.

The next railroad will probably be q
mining railway to connect line OF min
ing claims that are strung slong at
short distances for 230 miles, and will
open up vast field to the business Of
this part Of the country. The road will
start in fine timbered region, and will
pass through vast districts Of copper,
silver, salt. soda, magnetic iron, borax
and gold. 1t win be an independent
narrow. .gaugs road, and easily built
through mineral country that viii fur
nish business in abundance. A survey
has been made, and the line. found prac-
ticable. Such road would lie in
continuous mining country, such as no
other road possesses in the whole coun-
try, and would pay handsome dividends,
Abundant capital has been offered to
build the line, and strong men are its
hackers, among them the largest mine
owner in California. We are not at
liberty to givo names and route, or the
termini Of tho road. except one Of the
termini will be in Nevada. This road is
Arrival to mono, and will be an astonish-
ment to the people Of Los Angeles. II
will continue the building boom in our
city and mako large and near marke
for our grain, hay, fruits and vegetables
All these elements conspire to make Los
Angeles great and important city.

An Evil and It's Remmdy.

We learn that quite number of mar.
row escapes from serious accidents have
been made by pedestrians who are nee
essarily out ON foggy night after the
store electric lights have been cxtin-
guished. on account of the enormous
piles of building material on our prin-
cipal streets, which, when buildings are
in course of construction on both sides,
as on Commercial and Spring streets,
nearly block up the entire thoroughfare.
As an example, number of firemen
running to the fire on Fifth street about
midnight on Thursday. took the side
walks of Spring street, as the nearest
cut to the place Of their duty, and were
subjected to the delay and pain of fall
lug over brick, mortar and lumber piles
frequently. Luckily they were so agile
as to be little hurt, but the air was made
azure with some bad words. The plac-
ing of some lanterns on these obstruc-
tions, which we believe is required dur
ing the night, would do away with many
contusions. Let the law be enforced, or
the city or contractors be sued for dam
ages. when casualties occur, which can
not be guarded against on account Of a
lack of proper lights, or placing OF
building material in the streets.

omcial Errors.

The Secretary Of the State Board of
Agriculture, Edwin F. Smith, publishes
the acreage of cereals in the State, for
1883, as follows; Wheat, 1894, 700 acres;
barley, 775, 405 acres; corn, 65, 900 acres;
all of which he says are the sactual fig
ures." In regard to these figures, the
only objection to them is their utter un-
reliability. Los Angeles county alone
has more acreage of corn than the Secre-
tary gives to the whole State. The
amount Of barley is put at 775, 405 acres,
and is perhaps about two.thirds of the
actual acreage. 1t would probably be
well II these officials would read the
newspapers of the State and inform
themselves about the business Of the
country. A perusa' of the HERALD
would have spared this official from
sending abroad such erroneous state
ments.

A Man Goes over the Falls

And disappears beneath the foaming bill
lows, This afternoon about half-past 2
o'clock, fine-looking, well-dressed gem
tleman was seen walking across the sus-
pension bridge with cigar in his mouth,
smoking quite leisurely. There was
nothing strange in his manner and the
people Oh, the bridge thought Of nothing
wrong until they saw him leap from
the bridge. over the railing, into the
mighty waters beneath. The people ON
the bridge were awe-struck and power
less TO render him any assistance, and
with feelings Of deep sorrow and tears
in their eyes, they stood silently watch
ing him as he struggled with the
rushing waters, and as he was carried
into the roaring cataract, they noticed
that he was still putting away at one Of
those famous s'Tansill's Punch" Cigars,
Havanah filled. which he purchased at
the Postofiice Cigar Store, for only five
cents. july3l-tf.

An Enterprise and an Application.

An Enterprise and an Application.
The most gigantic irrigation enterprise
ever inaugurated in the State Of Cali
fornia, has been commenced in Fresno
county. the canal for which viii be the
largest in the State, and fed by Kings
river. The water is intended to irrigate
80. 900, 900 acres Of rich land, at present
barren through the lack of water. The
source of supply of this canal will be
higher than any other debouching from
the same stream Its dimensions are:
One hundred feet in width at the bot
tom; levees an average Of fifteen feet in
height and eight feet wide at the top.
broad enough for wagon road. The
depth of the water is expected to be
Eve feet, with fall Of eighteen inches
to the mile. The dam in the mountain
caion whence the water is taken, will
be a wonderful and permanent one. 1t
is twenty-five feet high, eight hundred
feet long, one hundred and forty feet
wide at the base and twenty-five feet
wide on the top. It is riprapped on the
inside with heavy rock, and every
precaution taken to make it sufii-
ciently strong to securely hold the great
weight of water that must be supported.
The water is let into the canal from a
large headgate, constructed of heavy
timber, one hundred feet in width, and
eighteen feet high. 1t is planked over
50 as to make bridge for heavy wagons
aud has wings to protect it from the
foods. The canal is expected to carry
|, 800 cubic feet of water per second.
1t is only within few years past,
since Fresno county attempted irriga-
tion on large scale, but it now saves
water far better than many settle.
ments in our own county, bar
ring those new ones which have
adopted pipes, or cement or stone
conduits. The project recently mem
toned in the HERALD regarding a grand
tunnel to be bored in the Sierra Madre
mountains would be to Los Angeles
county in proportion to the water sup
ply what the grand canals of Kern,
Fresno and Tulare counties are to them.
II must also be remembered that one
quafSsr of the water necessary for irri-
CATION ia the counties named would be
ample for our county, and that quantity
could undoubtedly be obtained at less
expense than $3.50. 900, which is the cost
Of the new Fresno canal. There is coin
in 1t.
