Baptist minister, owns a ranch here, and
his son Harry has one adjoining, which
extends up TO the foothills. There is very
extensive cavern near the latter. Last fall
a wandering band Of MOqui Indians were
observed entering the cavern, but day after

to emerge. Wood. his sons Louis and
Harry, John Anderson and about twenty

Lately CupertIno has been visited by
some spooks. or ghosts, or specter, or some
thing of that sort AT least, several reput-
able citizens so declare. On their first
appe rance your correspondent was in San
Francisco, and, of course, when told of the
apparition, not having convincing proof. re-
NAMED silent, but on Saturday evening he
saw with his own eyes the apparitions, for,
being perfectly sober at the time, it was no
optical Illusion, and this is what he saw:
Five figures dash by on horseback at mad
pace; two were females nd three were
males. One Of the males. who evidently
was the leader, was giant in size, and was
mounted Oh an immense charger. He was
dressed in martial array and of COM
manding men. His c0mpani ons | did
not notice so closely, but tn ey were all
mounted on Indian ponies, and, as near as
i could tell, his male companions wore no
uniforms. The females had their long hair
flying wildly about their faces, but what
gimpses | did get l would say they were
Indians or Mexicans Several others saw
them, and ONE say they gave uDearthly
yells or war Whoops whenever they saw
any one. This is their second visit and as
yet no one is able to explain the mystery.
Joe Kelly, an old settler, who resides on
Stevens Creek. tells legend about an

Kelly claims that these appaTtions vera

is caused by their resting place being dis
turbed by some Of the buildings that have

The Mountain Belt OF san Diego County
Wants Railroad Comm icatiOn.
". II. Holcomb, editor Of the Julian
Sentinel, who was appointed Secretary of
a meeting recently held at Santa ISABEL, in
san Diego County, to discuss WAYS and
means of obtaining a railway connection
with tie coast at a desirable market point,
says:
The citizens If the mountain belt Of
San Diego County are thoroughly in earnest
about securing railway communication with
a desirable market. This district is the
richest horticultural and gud-mining belt
in southern California, and for many years
citizens have endeayoTed to induce a rail
road to build out from San Diego 10 con-
meet with this region, but so far the short
line OF the San Diego, Cuyamaca and East
eTn Railway. extending twenty-five miles
east If san Diego city, and leaving a gap of
thirtY-6ye miles TO the center Of the mount
ain horticultural belt, is the sole result Of
their efforts. The immense acreage Of
fruits coming into bearing in these sections
now requires an immediate connection by
rail IN order that any profit may accrue to
the growers thereof.
1t is this exgency that induced the peo-
pie Of the mountain belt 10 lay before the
people Of the county the proposition 10 bond
the county for a half million Of dollars to
be used in constructing a wagon road from
Fosters station, the present terminus Of the
San Diego, Cuyamaca aud Eastern Railway,
through the mountain country north to San
Jacmto, which was defeated at the polls by
a small majority The theory Of a line to
connect with the proposed Los Angeles,
South Riverside aad Temescal line is ad-
vanced and receives strong support in the
mountain districts, as there appears little

Salem Statesman. Feb. 10.
There being good many reports on the
streets that steamboats, on the upper
willamette would refuse the towing of all
baTges, a reporter called yesterday on
George D. GOodhue Of the firm Of Goodhue
d Cahill to ascertain the truth Of this re-
port Mr.. Goodhue says the greater part Of
all towing has been done for his firm By the
Oregon Pacific steamers, which has been
a source Of annoyance and dissatisfaction
among all the steamboat men. It has been
the cause Of several wrecks at a heavy cost
TO the firm and 10 the Oregon Pacific Com
pauY. 1t IS not known that such an order
has been made, but G0Odhue q Cahill are
satisfied that it will not do to depend
upon the barge service in business any
longer Id fact, they have been shaping
their business 10 90 out Of the Sowing
trade for some time. After three years Of
experience in this line Of business, with the
uncertainty Of towing and the limited
amount Of business there has been and will
be for years to come in Salem in this line Of
trade, they do not see anything TO Justify a

CARQUINEZ BRIDGE.
How the Great Structure VIII Be BufIt
Across the Straits.
Record Union.

Across the STRATUS
Record Union.
The plans and estimates for the Carquinez
bridge are based upon soundings OF the
straits that were taken some three years
ago. The extreme depth in the middle Of
the channel Is about 118 feet, while all the
way across there is a good foundation Of
rock that can be easily reached below a
thin layer If sand and mud. The sound
ings fully established the fact that the
rocky bed was hard and permanent enough
to support eight or nine gigantic piers, sew
eral OF which may be from $50 to go feet in
height
On account of the fact that the high
bluffs at Vallejo Junction and those oppO-
site to it on the other shore afford splendid
approaches TO the necessarily high sTuc-
tuTe that will have to be erected In order
not 10 impede navigation, the engineering
department of the company mas recon-
mended that one be built at or within a few
hundred feet of that point Accordingly
all plans and estimates have TO do with the
proposed bridge in that vicinity, but just
what they are only the parties concerned
know.
IL is known, however, that there are GER
tain plans ana estimates for high grade
structure, that is, one without q draw; and
q low grade bridge, or one with draw !;
also, further details as to the benefits and
cost OF having either kind covered or I'M
covered.
The cost of the Improvement will repre-
sent several million dollars, and if high
grade bridge is the plan selected it will
neeessitate the erection of piers at least l60
feet above the surface of the water. thus
giving two or more piers near the middle of
the channel height of about 270 feet. The
structure will have some eight or nine
spans, no matter what plan is agreed upon.
When the time comes for the construction
and completion Of the bridge the main line
of the road at Benicia will run round to the
north of that town in a curve from tho
SOlano County end of the bridge, and the
double track between Oakland Pier and
Vallejo Junction will be extended across
the bridge Oh the Sacramento.

returned from her third halibut fishing trip
on the north coast erammed with fish. Forty
thousand pounds Of splendid halibut and
1000 pounds of skins were brought down.
The catch would have been greatly augment
ed. but the weather and sea were very rough,
and the fishing was only prosecuted at
intervals, but when possible the halibut
were caught in great quantities. Captain
Mckenzie thinks the fisheries will grow to
immense proportions. The fish are being
placed in a Refrigerator car and Tomorrow
will be shipped by express to Boston, where
the former consignment was sold at good
profit So far the location Of the halibut
beds is a secret with the disc0verer. The

was occupied with chests, etc, belonging

car or from the force Of the prisoner inside,
