SERIOUS CHARGES.
Mccarthy Accused OF ExtOrtfOn an
u woman with Robbery.

Mccarthy Accused of ExtOrtfOn an d
u woman with Robbery.
James Mccarthy and Maud Mason
mutually endeavored to get the better Of
one another yesterday, with the highly
desirable result thai they both brought
up at the police station with serious
charges booked against them. Mccarthy
used formerly to live in Pasadena,
where, if all the reports concerning him
are true, he did not make a record of
which he Can be proud. Tuesday night
he visited Maud Mason, a woman of bad
character, and while at her place was
robbed of $15, at least such was the
story that he told the police. Officer
Dignan went to the place and arrested
the woman and started to the station,
bringing Mccarthy along as witness to
the affair. This did not suit the latter,
and he asked permission to speak to the
woman in private. This was granted,
and as result of the conference he told
Dignan that he had decided not to prose-
cute the woman, and that she might be
allowed to 90 free.
Yesterday afternoon Maud presented
herself at the station and told Chief
Benedict that Mccarthy had extorted $S
from her to secure his withdrawal of the
charge, and she asked that he be made
to return the money. Officer Haskell
was sent in search of Mccarthy, and
soon returned bringing him and the
woman. Against Mccarthy charge ol
extortion was entered, and against the
woman that of robbery.

A u. P. EXPEDITION.
Surveyors to Leave the City this
Morning.

Surveyors to Leave the City this
Morning.
The surveying expedition equipped by
the Union Pacific Company is to leave
the city to-day to look over the country
between Daggett and Pioche. Pioche is
situated about 100 miles southwest of
Frisco, the terminus Of the Utah Central
road, from which point, that is from Mil.
ford, the station Immediately north, the
Union Pacific will build to this city. The
expedition is in charge of Professor
W. P. Jenny, of San Francisco, and
| is we'll equipped with wagons,
horses and men. Mr.. Jenny
said Yesterday to HERALD man: "We
will probably be out about three months
as l have received instructions to exam
inc carefully the mineral sections of the
country this side of Phoebe, with view
to bringing the railroad through the best
possible district. You are of course
aware that The Union Pacific has had
several surveying corps in the field dur
ing the past twelve months. and now
that their reports are in / am to look
over the country and point out the rich
est route"
A look at the map will show that the
development of the country referred to
will mean an enormous boom in the
West. especially for Los Ange-
les, which will naturally be the
central commercial point. Phoebe is
situated in one Of the richest silver dis
tricts of the west and miners will remem-
ber the rush that induced the building of
the forty miles OF track to Bullionville to
accommodate the traffic between that
point and Pioche. The whole country
