NOT A SERIOUS MATTER.

If the British Columbia authorities
mean that when they expel Chinese to the
territory of the United States they shall
not be returned to British soil without
payment of the head tax, they will find
that the threat will have no effect upon
this people. 1t is sufficient for American
officers that they find Chinaman on
American soil whose presence is forbidden
by law. When they expel him, and he
moves over into English territory, it is for
the officials Of British Columbia to pass
him on, if they cannot collect the head
tax. OF course they may send him over
the border again, and we may again return
him. All that is merely game of shuttle
cock. But it is not reasonable to suppose
that the desire Of the English officers to
collect a head tax from Chinese can be
made matter Of diplomatic correspond
ence, or an international question. Our
laws must be administered, regardless of
the fact that the laws of British Columbia
are evaded. This, we believe, will be the
ruling Of the Washington authorities.

Bullion Train Looted.
GALVESTON, October 7th.-A special to
the Netus from Eagle Pass, Tex, saws: Re-
ports have been brought to Moncloya by
freighters from the Balsa Nipimi mines,
to the effect that one of Houston's bullion
trains, in charge of Mr. Morrison, had
been attacked by robbers while en- route
from the Sierra Moiada mines to Parral
station, on the Mexican Central Railway,
whence the bullion was shipped by express
to the United States. 1t is reported that
four of the escort were killed and it is
feared that Morrison, who was well known
here, is one of the victims, as he has not
been heard from. The freighters say that
after routing the escort the robbers drove
off the pack mules laden with the bullion.
Houston purchases bullion from the small
miners, and makes weekly trips to the
nearest railroad station, where it can be
forwarded. Just how much bullion was
on hand is not known.

A cOwARDLY ASSAULT.

Says the San Francisco Chronicle:
Judge Temples reputation as a lawyer
and man Of integrity stands deservedly
high. In view of the decision, it is well
that 1t does So Concerning the meaning
Of which there is no sort of obscurity. In
words and effect the conscionless sheet de-
clares that Judge Temples reputation is
all that saves him from damnation for the
Cotton decision. This is the equivalent of
pronomcing him dishonest man and a
corrupt Judge. SO it is that lifelong de-
yotion to the principles of honest dealing;
the career of 4 quarter of a century that
has won for the man the universal verdict,
"he Is honest and incorruptible, does not
shield him from the vindictive assaults of
malice and defamation by the vehicle of
hatred born of the lowest sentiments that
aetuate men. 1t is we'll that such innu-
endoes from such source have no inGu-
ence among men, and that the day has
passed when the people of California can
be swayed by such vicious agencies.
Twenty-Five years of personal knowledge
of the man; a quarter of century of
study of his life and acts more than two
decades acquaintance with the motive
forces Of his daily walk; some years Of
association with him as young man, and
long observation OF his answering steps
in the path of duty, have raised in our
mind for Jackson Temple the highest
measure OF appreciation. respect and adj
miration that it is possible for upright
ness, courage and lofty moral incentives to
inspire in the human breast. We should
feel unworthy the regard of such man
five allowed SO cowardly an assault to
pass unrebuked.

REDDING,s NEW DEPOT.
The Building just Completed by the
Southern Pacific Company

[Redding Tri-Weekly Independent, October Sd. |
The new building just completed by the
Southern Pacific Company for the accom-
mediation of their passengers and freight at
Redding deserves more than mere passing
notice. We propose to give brief de-
scription OF it now. so that our friends at
distance may have some faint idea of the
grandeur and magnificence of the appoint
ments of our town. The entire building is
50xl97 feet, with platform on the north
end extending about so feet further, and
platforms on both sides of the building its
entire length. The northern end of the
building IS fitted up for freight warehouse
and has Its floor raised to the hight of floors
OF box cars. The doors open on rollers
horizontally, instead of upward. as in the
old depot. AT the south end of the open
platform is an inclined plane, arranged to
facilitate the handling of wagons and
heavy machinery. In fact everything
about this departments fitted to handle all
kinds OF freight with the greatest economy
ana dlspatch. The remaining portion of
the building has floor level with the
track, and it is connected with the freight
department by neat stairway on the in
side and steps on the outside platforms.
Next TO the freight warehouse is the bag
gage-room, opening on the platform toward
the track, and also by an inner door con-
nected with the main Office. This room is
finished with every convenience for Sc
curely storing baggage Next to this is
the freight and ticket office, which
is very commodious and convenient.
1t has doors opening on both sides
OF the building, and large well-lighted
windows. A projection to the building on
the track side affords space for ticket win
dow, and also has windows through which
the agent can command a view of approach
ing trains, both up and down the track,
without going out into the wet Another
ticket window opens into the waiting-room.
The counter space in the office is parti-
toned off by an ornamental railing, and
every convenience is supplied to make the
agent and his assistants feel as if they
wasn't afraid of nothin." Adjoining this
on the south is the waiting-room, the only
objection to which is that there is not an
other one like it, so as TO have separate
rooms for ladies and gentlemen. The COM
pany will, however, mollIfy the ladies by
prohibiting smoking in the one waiting
room. This room is COSY and will be COM
fortably furnished. Next south. occupying
the end of the building, are two rooms de-
signed for the office and storeroom of Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s express, in which stands the
large safe that stood the fire of last july.
and has since been repainted and reitted
1t now bears on its face an inscription
which tells of its noble service The entire
structure is built in the most substantial
manner, largely of California redwood, and
is painted light drab color, the trimmings
being shade darker. The architecture is
tasteful, and taken as a whole the people of
Redding ought to be satisfied with it,

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

All legitimate influences in saving the
rivers and valley from destruction by hy-
draulic mining are acceptable to the friends
of the valley and of river navigation. 1t
is, therefore, some satisfaction to know
that the San Francisco Chronjcle, which
only a few weeks ago asked what all this
beating of sliekens tom-toms was about.
and which sneered at the agitation as a
premature scheme to influence coming
elections, has come to its senses, turned
tail, and has concluded that the DEGREES of
the Courts must be enforced, and that Con-
gress should act at once in aid of the effort
TO stop the work of destruction. As the

VAST MINERAL WEALTH--The Marys-
vile appeal of October 4th says
A gentleman and an old quartz miner
lust down from the foothills reports having
visited the new quartz mines near Browns
valley and Iimbuctoo and is much pleased
with the prospects. The Rising Sun mine
on Dry creek, near Browns valley, owned
by Ogden, Simms, Fender and the two
McCauslands, is turning out very fine ore
in quantities, and of very fine grade, the
best, in fact, he has seen for many DAYS.
Lands and LOveridge are in 100 feet on a
gentle incline in their mine near Timbuc-
too. The ledge is three feet thick and good
ore, very easily worked. The ore is sui
phurets, however, and our informant is of
the opinion that it cannot be worked by
the tree-gold process. Roasting or some
other sulphuret process will have to be re-
sorted to. There is a quartz belt
commencing near Timbuctoo, and
running northeasterly for a distance
of three miles, which contains good
ore and will be worked in time. Vast
mineral wealth lies hidden in our foothills.
which can be worked profitably without
detriment to the valley when the right
sort of men get hold of il.
