RAILROAD RUMBLINqs.
The proro.oh combination.

NEw YoRg, Nov. %. Tho World this
morning says The proposed combina.
ton of railroads under one management Is
variously regarded. While some railroad
officials profess to see in it the solution OF
all the Illinois railroads are heirsto, others
do no; hesitate to declare that the plan il
impracticable. Merchants are no moro
unanimous than the railroad men. Some
believe that n uniform rate will tend to
boom business through an increased conf.
denco. On the other hand there are those
who can soc no boom in 1t for anything
save the securities Of tho road The same
difference opinion exists as to the extent il
may be affected by the interstate COM
merce law. In Chicago il is thought the
publicity given the project may work its
defeat. Tho interests involved in the pro.
posed union will aggregate billions Of
dollars.

A Splendid Canvass.

Reel B. Terry, the brilliant and popu-
lar Democratic candidate for Congress
from this District, returned here last
night, as gay and debonnaire as q min
strel from the Crusades, after having adj
dressed large and enthusiastic meetings
from San Bernardino to San Diego, and
from Hollister to Santa Paula, besides
having canvassed the Calico country
and the counties of Mono, Inyo
and Alpine. The gallant young
candidate has traversed about three
thousand miles of territory, and made
twenty. three trenchant addresses since
he started out-an amount Of labor which
would have told seriously on any but .
strong and vigorous physique. Tonight
he will speak in the Republican citadel
OF this county, Pasadena, where he will
doubtless have rousing meeting, as
Republicans, as well as Democrats, will
want to hear what the eloquent young
Congressman has to say upon the issues.

A Frightened BOY.

A small boy by the name of Pete,
Hoff, whose home is on Buena Vista
street, was brought to the station last
night by Officer Mcclure. Peter is about
9 years Of age, and according to his own
account is badly used boy. A few days
ago, he says, his father whipped him SC
severely that he made up his mind to
run away and seek his own fortune. He
got ont as far as the end of the Temple
street line, where he camped down
for three days, getting his meals
from people living in that vicinity. The
boys father had left word that when he
was found he should be sent home.
When brought to the station last night.
Peter wept great deal, and declared
that he was afraid to go home as his
father would beat him terribly. The
Chief took pity on him, and finally al.
lowed him to make bed of the Office
lounge, and to return this morning when
his father would be in better humor.

Prof. Deity Upon the Mining
Situation.
DOCTOR ROBBINS DAUGHTER.
A SOiree Given by the Philharmonic
Society General Items of
Interest Cleaned.

Professor Deity, the mining expert, has
returned from England, where he has
been attending to affairs connected with
the syndicate which owns considerable
mining property in this county. The
principal center OF operations is at the
Victoria mine, situated four miles from
Azusa. about three miles up the San
Gabriel Cahon. A 5OO-foot tunnel has
been run into the side of hill and from
this shaft has been run upwards so as
to drain the lodges, for in addition to the
disadvantages OF striking water in a
mine, the fluid decomposes and alters
the silver. The shaft is now connected
with drift run in from the top, and lie
$50 feet deep and forms fume down
which the rock is thrown as it is worked
out. The prospect 30 far has been a
good one, as an average Of thirty-four
ounces of silver has been found in the
rock, which is decomposed and impreg-
mated with carbonates. The syndicate,
which consists Of Messrs. Deity, Cardinal
q Co., have been expending good deal
of money of late in tin.bering the mine,
and tie gentlemen interested are now
making arrangements to put up water
mill on the spot, where they can reduce
all their rock as it is taken out.
They expect to have this i'm
portant piece of work completed
within twelve months, and in the mean
time they will extend operations by pur-
chasing other mines close to their present
location. Mr.. Deity says that three
other companies have just been organ
lied in England to work mines in South
ern California, and that their representa-
tives will be over here shortly to COM
mence operations. A good deal of money
is behind these organizations, and it will
be literally expended. A bullion depot
is to be opened in this city, and will be
great acquisition to the mining industries
of this city. At the present time the
bullion from here has to be sent to San
Francisco, where the business is in the
hands of persons who are making enor-
nous profits.
Regarding the gold placer claims in
the mountain region above Newhall, Mr..
Deity says that there is a mint of money
to be made there if the operations are
conducted properly. At the present
time the proprietors are working hap
hazard, whereas there are natural
laws which should be followed. The
trends of the water and the geological
formation of the country are matters
which as rule escape the observation
of the amateur gold-seeker.
The Board OF Trade of this city have
made overtures to Mr.. Deity to prospect
for natural gas here: but no arrangement
has yet been made. Mr.. Deity says that
it exists abundantly around the city and
could be brought into use without ex-
travagant expenditure.

Mr. carter Leaves for the Field of
Contest.
Mr.. Peyton Carter, the lawn-tennis
champion of Southern California, left
yesterday morning for San Francisco,
where on Saturday next he will compete
with Mr.. Taylor for the honors of the
Pacific Coast. The members of the
Northern Tennis Association are conf
dent that their man will win,
so much so, that they are
offering two to one against Carter. The
feeling here though is that the Los
Angeles man will hold his own for
although the two champions have never
met, good criterion can be obtained by
the way they play with Tobin,
who carried off the prize at
Del Norte and who competed
in the recent tournament at Santa
Monica. Taylor gives Tobin half fifteen
and beats him, but Carter can do the
same and win with ease, so that should
make the two champions about on par.
A good deal of money is being bet locally
on the result.
