The trains to Wilmington and San
Pedro came and went all right yester-
day.
A big crowd went out on the Cotton
local 1.-THE Cannonball"- yesterday.
She makes time each way.
To-day all trains by the s. P. go in
and out. The board is full again.
Freights and all go and come.
The train to the east did not 60 out
yesterday. Her departure was con-
tingent on the arrival of the train from
San Francisco.
Few Angelenos ventured out by the
trains east or west yesterday. Nor
were there great many through pas
sengers on the wing.
The c. s. train got in a few hours
late last night. bringing in the Sigler
excursion. a list of which appeared in
the HERALD yesterday morning.
Five of the "hogs," as the big 100 ten
engines are called, were caught by the
storm north of the Mojave, where they
are very handy in hauling the big aocu-
mutations of freight over the Tehav..,-',
Pass.
The Los Angeles and San Gabriel
Valley Railway trains are running
smoothly on time. Men are at work
strengthening the weak places made by
the flood all the way to Pasadena.
The body of Mr.. JIM. Davies daughter
goes out by the train to-day to be in
TERED at the home of the family at To-
peka, Kansas. A large number of
friends were at the depot yesterday,
when it was expected that the body
would be shipped.
But for the mishap of the flood the
Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley
Railway would have been now at work
extending the road from Lamanda Park
through the Santa Anita. Ii will not
be many days longer before this good
work will be going on again.
No. 20, the north-bound express came
in on time yesterday and went on time
northward. She took car of fast
freight and two sleepers. There went
out on her large amount of baggage
and mail. This was hauled by one Ell
CINE while another took the coaches, SO
as to make lighter burdens to cross the
weak places in the partially repaired
roads.
The north.bound train from here got
as far as Lang's all right, but at that
point it was found that the road was not
quite ready for her to pass. The down
train through from San Francisco got as
far as Ravena and was tn ere tied up for
the same reason. They will not risk
crossing in the dark, but lie over all
night and pass in the morning, the
down one getting here about noon.
Piles l2xl2 are arriving for building a
levee to protect the track of the L. A. &
S. G. V. Ry. from the west end of their
bridge to the Downey avenue bridge,
and from that point south along the
river past the Soap Works. The city,
not the railroad, located the line, and
after the recent flood it is quite possible
that opposition to levee will not be ac-
tive. II the company is allowed they
will make good leyee. That at their
depot was washed out because it had
not been finished 1t is a new enter
prise, and no "Romewas built in dayp

Gone 90 Look for the Peg Leg


In the San Gorgonio mountains, where
the s. z. Co.'s track goes through the
pass of the same name, the Clearwater
canon runs back from the main pass up
the mountains and stream of the same
name as the cafion has heretofore poured
its pellucid wavelets over its pebbly bed
in copious little rivulet. 1t usually
ran in normal condition four to six feet
wide and nearly foot deep. Beyond
the pass in the edge of the great Colo
RADIO desert, portion of the water had
been used for domestic purposes and
irrigation by the settlers in that region.
There was a scheme on foot to take out
larger guam ity of the water and fiume
II as far as Seven Palms, where it was
TO be used In extending the settlement
Of land at that point.
Those familiar with the country in
passing along since the recent floods are
greatly astonished to find the lovely
little stream gone. There is not a
vestige Of it left beyond the bed where
Of yore it flowed on its mission of COM
fort and beneflcence to refresh the
jewellers on the desert.
The natural query is what has become
Of the stream? Yesterday a HERALD
reporter met "a gentleman who has been
up through the Clearwater Canon to u
considerable distance. He describes the
place as rugged and wild beyond de.
scription. The recent rains swelled the
clear little brook TO turbulent and
murky flood, rolling great stones and
carrying large pine trees down its resist
less CURRENT. There is much fine timber
along the mountains here aud many of
the giants were uptorn aud hurled into
the stream. AT certain points these
have become eniangled in rocks and mar
row gorges SO as to stop up the stream
A great deal of earth has been washed
down so as to fill up the channel and
here the waters spread out over mile
wide channel. At other points the earth
has been washed out SO as to expose q
stratum of boulders, through which the
water runs as through sieve.
In such wise the stream has been lost,
the waters seeping through the sands
and rocks to disappear in the ribs OF the
mountains aud rise again perhaps far out
at sea, or perhaps to come up in some
aitesian well. As suggested in the cap
ton they may have gone off in search OF
the famous, lost Peg Leg Mine.
