THE best offer that has yet been made
to the State for en- Insane Asylum site
and grounds is that made yesterday by
Hon. J. G.. Estudillo. He proposes to
sell 800 acres of land adjoining this city,
at the northeastern boundary line, for
$3.50, 200. This land is accessible from
both the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe railroads, and has soma Of the finest
sites for public buildings that can
be found anywhere in the State.
II the Rhodes tract Of $50
acres is worth $150,00O, this tract, ad-
joining the fourishing city of Los Ange-
les, is certainly worth twice as much.
The favorable entertainment by the COM
missioners of the Rhodes tract would
seem to indicate that quantity of acreage
is a desideratum with them for the
location of an Asylum, and if that is
the case Mr.. Estudillo has seen the SaE
Bernardino offer and gone several
hundred acres better.

AT THE meeting of the City Council
yesterday single bid only was received
for taking charge of the sewage, deodor-
izing and utilizing it. This was from Mr..
Joseph Harmon, who offered to take it
for bonus of $116, 900, and Sc, 900 year
for ten years. Mr.. Harmon is under
stood to represent the West Sewage
Company. He is generosity itself,
and if his public spirit should
strike in upon him he would
probably die instsnter. 1t ris pretty hard
to evade the fact that there is disinclin-
alton, developed of late, to tackle this
sewage proposition. The supposition
that it was the long period-ffty years
during which the contract was to run
that deferred people from bidding has
been exploded by the facts. Take it for
all in all, it is very peculiar develop
ment.

A TELEGRAM was received by a gentle
man here yesterday from q friend in
Petersburg, Va, requesting him to find
a taker for wager that Mckinney will
beat Malone. The sender of the telegram
has unusual facilities for forecasting the
vote in Virginia, and has faith in his
Judgment. That he could not place his
bet in Petersburg would seem tc
argue that the prevailing opinion
there is the same as his own. If Boss
Malone should be "downed," it will be

Thompson and Ainsworth, who know
something about ports, having controlled
the Oregon Navigation Company and
been instrumental in the building up
Of Portland and oakland. These
gentlemen are entirely familiar with the
operations of building whsrves and
towns, and they seem to be determined
to make the most of their perfectly shell
tered Redondo Beach. They are now
erecting at that point hotel which will
rival the beautiful Del Coronado at San
Diego, they are laying sewers, making
streets and building railways, with per-
sistence and purpose that mean business.
When, in addition, the efforts of the
Southern Pacific, in connection with
those of the Government, to make q
splendid port at San Pedro are borne in
mind, those are very timorous people
who entertain any doubt but that the
victorious City of the Angels will have
ample harbor facilities for doing her
business, no matter how vast it may be.
On the whole. we think that we can
afford to allow our San Diego friends to
enjoy Senator Frye's humor. 1t seems
to do them a great deal of good and it
does us no harm.
In a summary OF harbor facilities it
would be altogether wrong to omit Santa
Monica. The Carson & Colorado rail-
way of Mr.. D. o. Mills is making for
a connection with this city. That gen.
tleman and Senator Jones have bought
in common the old Belshaw & Beaudry
mines at Cerro Gordo. In common they
own extensive coal mines up in Alaska.
There need be no doubt that, to ex.
pedite the sale of this cheap
coal to the people of Los An
geles, they will build extensive wharves
at Santa Monica. The extension of the
Carson & Colorado railway to that
point is no wild flight of the imagination.
1t is probably now in contemplation, and
Senator Jones's old time project of rail.
way from Santa Monica to Independ'
ence, or to some other point in Inyc
county. will shortly be accomplished
Stranger things than that have hap
pened, and We really regard this as one
of the things most certain to occur in the
; near future.
On the whole, we assure our San Diego
contemporary that we are already toler'
ably we'll off for harbor and transport
alton facilities, and likely to be much
more 30 in the near future.

merit than any of his productions we

A Fight Reported Between Them
and Soldiers.

and Soldiers.
Tucson, Ariz., November 4.-Informa-
ton has been received here that fight
occurred at O'Clock this morning be-
tween detachment of troops from Fort
Huachuca, under Sergeant Pickets, and
Indians, ten miles from Crittenden. A
number of shots were exchanged. None
of the soldiers were hit, though Corporal
Griffin is missing.
Signal fires are seen in the Whitstone,
Salt River and Pinal mountains, which
seem to indicate that there are more In
dians out besides the fugitives who MUIR
dered Sheriff Reynolds, Saturday.
THE FuGITIvEs HEADING FOR SONORA.
.LaterIThe reports from Crittendon o!
the fight between troops and Indians is
quite plausible. The distance from the
scene of the murder of Sheriff Reynolds
by his Indian prisoners is almost 12C
miles. The Indians had forty hours in
which to travel the distance. AS there
are no reports of any killing along the
route, it is generally believed that the
band consists only OF the escaping pris.
oners, who hope to reach Sonora and
then elude capture.
Three Of them are San Carlos Apaches
and were convicted of numbering two
Tonto Apaches of Chief Casadero'a
band. This latter band will follow them
any distance for revenge, as they worked
earnestly for their conviction. There il
little probability Of anything more seri
Gus occurring.
THE CoNvICTs WE'RE UNAssIsTED.
A Globe special says it is now defn
itely known that the Indian prisoners
killed Sheriff Reynolds and Deputy
Holmes without assistance from othel
Indians.
There has been a steady rainfall dur
ing the last twelve hours. The surround.
ing mountains are covered with snow.
Advices from Tombstone say: J.
White was killed in Skeltoh canyon
near the Mexican line. His body
showed six bullet wounds. His cabir

ais are supposed to be Mexicans. u

Pointers for a San Diego Contem



pofary.
Our esteemed contemporary, the San
Diego San, is still devoting itself to the
remarks that Senator Frye himself ex-
pressly declared to be jocular. If it will
do the Sun any good we beg to inform it
that Senator Frye, before his departure
for the north, explicitly stated to large
assemblage of gentlemen in Los Angeles
that he would do all in his power to
make San Pedro what the calculations
and experiments of the Government
engineers have clearly shown to be
easily practicable, that the Atlantic
would stand in with the Pacific Coast in
claiming appropriations from Congress
adequate to the needs of commerce on
this side Of the continent, and that the
only danger we had to fear was from the
Middle and Western States. OF course,
in the matter of "back country" the
question is as to whether the dog shall
wag the tail or the tail the dog. Los An
geles, with apopulation Of eighty thousand
SOULS, and tributary region which
reaches to the northern line of Fresno
county, to the near neighborhood of Salt
Lake and Ell Paso, EN- bracing Southern
California, Southwestern Nevada and
Utah and all Arizona, cheerfully &C.
cepts San Diego county as portion of
her "back country" and very i'm
pcrtant and pleasing portion, at that.
We will just give our contemporary a
''pointer" on harbors, and it ia that, in
addition to San Pedro, the depth of
whose waters has already been increased
from eighteen inches to fourteen feet at
mean low tide, and to seventeen feet
at high tide, there is growing up at Re-
dondo Beach port which, if our charm
ing southern neighbor don't look out,
will shortly do more business than San
Diego. This harbor is going forward
under the fostering care Of Captains
