The "Calico Print" June 14th, says that about 12 miles of rails of the California Southern have heen lad from San Bernardino northward, and about Is miles of grading are completed at the end Of the road. Some of the deep cuts in the Cajon pass are begin. ming to cave iu, u,which shows they have been made too narrow and precipitjous. At this end of the road about l2. miles of grading have been completed, and the graders camps are stationed at intervals for a distance of about 40 miles. About a mile of rails have been laid, over which the construction train is running. , Various opinions have been ex. pressed in regard to the time it will take to complete the road. and by striking an average we may expect the road to be cOm> pleted some time in November next. There gre 150 bridges to be built, some of which are quite large, which will require ccnsid- e.able time to complete them.
