TIE GOLD FIELDS.
Where 1bsy Are and What They Are.

SAs Francisco, March H.
The rev gold field to which Thousands are
rushing from all parts of California, Is i,
santa Clara valley. forty-svo miles from
Ensensda- The quickest way TO reach it 10
BY steamer 10 EnsenAda and then overland
The gold plscers have been worked for
over one hundred years, but lack Of water
has prevented any large development Of the
region or any working of the rich quartz
known 70 exist there. The placers are nos
being worked by means Of water which
comes from snow melting in the ne!ghborins
mountains. but this will soon be exhausted
Reports differ greatly in regard to the rich
ness Of the piacers, but there seems TO be no
question that several guiehes are rich in coarse
gold. W. C. Van Arnum of San Diego Just
back from the mines says the Aexiczns who
have been longest at work in the diggings
are taking out gold to the extent of sis a
day each. He says that there is great lack
Of mining implements. Many Americans
vho are working over ground once worked
by Mexicans obtain from Is to 80 cents to the
pan. Rich quartz 10 discovered. The only
question As TO the plaeers is, how extensive
are they. He answers this ~ saying that
While the oldest residents and business men
Of Ensenada went To the mines several weeks
ago none OF them have returned Ex-Gov-
ernor George Ryerson who has just returned
from EnsenadA said
As to the Santa Clara fields, what has
been said is virtually true, though
some~hat exaggerated. For instance, the
largest nugget found and shown, weighed
exactly ten ounces lacking so cents" He
says experienced miners can make money,
but that the ,snderfoot will have a hari
time. About 8 1000 people are now at the
mines and more than that number are on the
road. II the present rush continues for a
few days longer there will be 10000 on the
ground before the end Of the month. Pro-
visions are dear, fifty pounds of flour selling
for s.; ten pounds Of oatmeal, S3 so
White whiskey 10 four bits drink. Much
suffering is sure 10 result.
The suspicious with which reports from
the mines were first received is due to the
collapse Of the Harvna Hala Bonanza in
Arizona. Many prospeetors went there from
Southern California. There is rumor
shout Los Angeles that anneIationists are at
the bottom Of the boom, which they have
engineered to get possession of Lower Cali
fornia. When they have 5000 or 5000 at
the new camp they will arm them aud take
possession of the country.

RAILWAY Conductors
Take Action Which is Of Interest
to Their Brethren
IN ALL PARTS OF THE UNION.
Men who Have Been Dismissed on
Charges Made by spottcrs Ask
the Courts for a Chance to
VindIcate Themselves,

SYRACUSE, N, Y, Jan, 9l,-In tho
oswego Over and Terminer term OF
court, which opens this week, several
cases against the Rome, Watertown &
Ogdensburg Railroad Company will be
tried which will interest every railroad
conductor in the country and thousands
OF railroad men generally. The COM
pany made a wholesale discharge Of
conductors last October on all OF lis
divisions, and one OF them has brought
an action to recover the wages withheld
to make reparation for amounts alleged
to have been stolen from the company.
It Is the first time that an action OF this
nature has been brought into court, The
conductors state their case in secret cir.
Cular, In which they say;
"Upon the results OF these cases rest
the rise or fall OF the conductor Of the
future, hence the necessity Of a verdict
In our favor or virtually yours. To per-
nit corporations to retain your salary
for months and upon demand refuse
payment upon the tllppant excuse that
an intormer believes you have not per-
formed your duty, Is unbearable, and
when We consider that we have spent
the best part OF our lives for the best In.
teresIs Of the company and It's patrons,
we would be towards to our manhood Ii
we allow ourselves and our families 10
be robbed Of our good name and stand
ing before the public and before our as
sociates should we allow these charges
to pass without our notice."
The railroad company places the in
debtedness Of the conductors at from $92
to $3.50. The Indications are that the
Conductors Brotherhood OF the United
States has taken charge Of the conduc-
tors side OF the issue. II the company
fails to establish the guilt OF the Conduc-
tors, suits for defamation OF character
will be instituted at once and the con-
ductoB' association will endeaVor 10
make test case Of the affair and put IN
end to the "blue envelope" and similar
systems Of discharge, which has ten
denCy to disgrace the person whose ser
vices are dispensed with. The railroad
company's answer Is plain and defiant.
Dates and amounts arc furnished, and
the charges made In straight forward

CHICAGO, Jan. 2l.-one Of the large
tanks recently erected at East South
Chicago by the Standard Oil Company
for the storage Of oil piped from Lima,
Ohio, burst yesterday. The officers oi
the company are afraid the oil will take
FIRE and destroy the other tanks and
much other property adjacent to the
plant. TO prevent this they employed
force OF men, who were stationed at the
outskirts Of the oleaglnous mass and In
struCted TO carefully watch II. It ID
hoped that some Of the oil may be
saved, butit Is thought that II will DO q
total loss. The officers OF the company
are unable TO account for the collapse oi
the tank, except that II was due to loose
construction. The loss Is estimated at
from $1,000 TO 5000.

OF Richie. Morrison yielded 10 the
majority, Morris held out, and no per-
suaslon could induce him 10 sign, The
absence OF one signature was fatal, Carr
and Minear extended the time to $3.50,

hour came and still Morris refused, It
should be said in part explanation that
he still had some hope that enough
Democrats would come to him to elect
him President on, and with this end In
view he made frequent visits 10 the
Democratic side, which occasions must
have been seized upon by Democrats TO
stllIen him farther,

The result shows that they made the
