A "Madman's Legacy"

"Sire," exclaimed a man in the homely garb Oi a mechanic Co Richelieu, Prime minister of France, as he was entering his palace; "SiTe, have made a discovery which shall make rich and great the nation which shall develop it.. Sire, will you give me an audience2"
 Richelisu, constantly importuned, finally ordered the "madm an impris- oned. Even in jail he did not desist from declaring his "dclusion," which one day attracted the attention of a British nobleman, who heard De Cause s story, and developed his discovery of steam power!
 All great discoveries are at first de- rided.
 Seven years ago a man vet under middle age, enriched by 2 business which covered the continent, found him self suddenly stricken down. When his physicians said recovery was i'm possible, he used e new discovery, which, like all advances in science, had been opposed bitterly by the schoolmen. Nevertheless, it cured him, and out oi gratitude therefor he consecrateG q part of his wealth to the spreading of its merits before the world. Such, in brief, is the history of Warmers. Safe Cure, which has won, according to the testi- mony of eminent persons, the most de served reputation ever accorded 10 any known compound. and which Is finally winning on its merits alone the approval of the most conservative practitioners. Its fame now belts the globe. The Herald

 1t IS now generally understood that Senator Fairs purchase of the South Pacific Coast Railroad was made in the interest of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.

From what can be learned the Atlantic and Pacific contem. plates branch leaving the Moiave dI. vision near Daggett, through Walkers Pass. down Kern river canyon to tho site of a new town to be established ne' Bakersfield. Walkers Pass is m-Jh lower than Tehschspi. From the new town to this city two routes are beng considered. One is through Fres, no county to Whites Bridge, thence through the San Joaquin valley to Pa checo Pass, to Old Gilroy, where 1t con- meets with the ferry landing on Oakland creek. The other route is through the Orestnnba creek valley by way of Cor ral Hollow Pass, where it connects witt the California and Nevada hsllroad. II Is for this route that the purchase Oi the; Oakland street railways would bt useful. The Atlantic and Pacific l. bound to come into this city at any cost and in spite of opposition.

Anthracite OoaI In Sanara.

ED. CITIzEN:-In the first article Of the Nog les Frontier about anthracite coal in Sonora, Sac a4I-e. oi "Los Bron- ces" was Haunted about, so that it left the impression that thIs location, bought last year b. an English company, own ed every thing in the way of coal in that State. Now ia the last article that pa per acknowledg that the Los Bronces has two leagues 5000 acres) and Nspo- leon Graf one square league, (4OOO Gcres) which does not differ but by one thou sand acres from your recent statement in the CITIZEN. Even granting that these two locations are in the heart of the coal Region, by the statement of the Frontier itself they are only three leagues out of an area Of seven hundred leagues of coal land, and as these locations are also m the heart of the most mountains ous part Of tue country, and not of easy access to railroads, their value become simply nil, because,l lthirty and fifty miles fuTtuer aest uud south, nearer to Tall Toad and sea, exist veins equally Us good a. ht LOS Alu DtAAuANo and il 1t is true that the COmpania F. de |. CArbOniferOs en Sonora has lost lis rights, the Sonora Railroad Co. would puy or take up some of these nearer mines, make a branch road, and their competition .cOuld not be overcome by sby person or company, possessing their faci ities and advantages.
 If the Frontier believes that the un- der-igned company has lost its rights, he IS about as well informed on that score as many others who talk Only by heGrsay. or from motives of personal ln- terest. The company has made arrange ments with certain capitalists and soon will be in condition to work it's coal mines. These people have exarlneg 9itles thoroughly, and are satisfied win them. It makes very little dltfershce II the Frontier, or any number of persons, believe in our titles or not; nor If 1t to expected that they should know, or that they care tO know, nor to We csre to in- form them. All the company c.n do IS, to go to work at its mines, build rall- road, and begin tO export the oOsl, all of which 1t will do within two years, and It matters little what people say.
