RAILROADS AND RAILROAD VISIONS,

New railroads are favorite topic with
our interior contemporaries Just at present
The light thrown upon the rule which the
Southern Pacific observes in the conduct of
its business SHOWS that there is a rich field
for transportation companies which are
content 10 do business for a reasonable
profit. The Woodland Nail of March 25
records the incorporation OF railroad COM
pany to be known as the California Mid
land Railway COMPANY The ronte pro-
posed is from Sacramento to Bakersfield.
with branch line from Stockton to Anti
och. Mr. Charles ErteZ, representing New
York and Boston capitalists, is at the head
OF the company. The road. including the
Antioch branch, Will be 33S miles long.
The present intention Is to keep the road
entirely independent Of the Southern Pa
cihc or any other company. Another line
from San Francisco, through the Santa
Clara Valley and across to MERGED, is a part
of the proposed system. II Is thought that
these roads will give the Midland Company
a basis of feeders which will warrant a
through line 10 Denver.
The Los Angeles Herald permits General
j. Shields TO outline a railroad system
which will, in the Generals estimation,
center the worlds trade in the City of the
the Herald as somewhat Of an enthusiast.
but the pictures his Imagination draws are
too alluring to be classed among impractical
schemes. General Shields proposes to
converge 1T Robins3as Pass eight operating
railroads with transcontinental connections,
Robinsons Pass is. by way of La Canada
Valley, about thirty miles airline north of
Los Angeles These eight transeontinental
railroads will be tapped at this pass by a
double-track railroad from Los Angeles.
which will give them landing place. if net
a market, for all their freight. The General
cautions the people of Los Angeles not to
become excited. THE coolest head" he
says, twill calmly contemplate the newt
able. 1t was decreed," he continues, in the
practical vein which marks his contribu-
ton to the railroad literature of the period,
''at the date the waters were gathered into
oceans and when America, with the site of
Los Angeles. rose above the billows."
There seems to be one possible flaw in this
pretty flower of speech. Did America rise
above the pillows bearing Los Angeles as
It's national site, or did Los Angeles rise
fully American above the surface of the
pillows to serve as its base7 The question
may be difficult Of absolute demonstration.
but we would like General Shields opinion
as to the probabilities. We are inclined to
the Los Angeles end Of the proposition, but
the data upon which the opinion is based
is, we admit, little misty

We can hardly credit the information con-
veyed in European telegram that an i'm
perial decree has been published at Rreslau
prohibiting Russian Jews from crossing the
frontier with view to ultimate emigration
beyond the sea. Ii is further said that some
of the poor wretches who make the attempt
are shot down. Such overt acts of persecu-
ton on the part Of Government are detest-
able In the extreme and are more in conson-
ance with the ignorant hatreds of the dark
ages than with the nineteenth century civ
iliZati0n. The Hebrew is driven out of
Russia with all possible ignominy and he is
baited In other countries. Only in England
and on the soil of America has he the
liberation and complete freedom unmolested
that others enjoy. and when efforts are put
forth to remove him from Cypress coun-
tries and TO give him career in new land
hindranees are thrown in the way Yet,
out OF all his troubles he will emerge tri-
umphant. There is a persistence in the
Jewish race that rises superior 10 temporary
impetiiments. and their enemies only inflict
injury upon themselves when they resort to
policy Of persecution.
The application Of the balloon to the pur.

The Fight for SiIver.

The silver men Of Colorado have no
idea Of ceasing their work for free silver
coinage. The Denver News says:
Silver Clubs in all parts of the state
should act promptly on the call of the
State League AMI nlme delegates to the
general state convention called for Thurs
day, December The purpose Of the
convention is to elect new hoard Of Of.
ficers and prepare plan Of campaign in
the interest Of free coinage before the
coming session of congress. That the
silver fight will be on from thu d,y con-
gress assemblies is now plainly evident,
and the friends OF free coinage must be
on hand to uphold the cause There
ought therefore to he full delegation
from every silver camp in the state, and
an enthusiastic convention, rendered all
the more confident by the grand victory
which has been achieved at the polls.
This victory must be backed u. by brave
and determined work in Washington
this winter. Colorado must De on hand

'1'm going to join the army and will

young man to his dear old mother and

sentence to the Oregon prison when he
wrote the letter that he supposed would
quiet all inquiry ss TO his whereab bouts.
He had been found guilty of forgery. and
the judge in pronouncins sentence upon
him gave him three years at hard labor.
This was several months ago, and the
young man is by this time well acquaint-
ed with the mOnOtonons routine of life
in the Oregon State penitentiary. One
Sunday afternoon 3 couple OF young
ladies, sisters, new arrivals in Salem,
visited the prison. They arrived too late
to be admitted to the services, hut were

cahforn,a's Mysterious Cavern.

On the north side OF Table Mountain
and near its top is an opening in the lava
that has since It's early days been known
a. the ''lion's den." II was 30 named
from the fact that for years II was the
lair OF band OF fsrocious California lions
that, when the country Was largely devot-
I'd to sheep. raising. made mighty depre-
dations npon the focks and caused the
owners much annoyane and loss. When
pursued the lions would seek refuge in
this den and no hunter would dare TO en-.
ter It. The ground about the entrance
WAS covered with bones and the remnants
OF sheep ana other animals. With the
increase Of population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although a. late
as last spring two Of the animals were
seen to enter the cave. The Oroville
Mercury says no known man has ever
penetrated this cave to its fullest depth.
The mouth is about four or five ieet high
and three feet wide and the opening des-
cands with = sharp incline for about 20
feet. Further than this it has never been
explored Now, however, party Of
young men have made arrangements 10
explore it, and, If possible, penetrate to
its bottom. That it is Of great depth is
certain. for one can stand at the opening
and hesve great stones down the declivity
and the sounds will gradually die away
in the distance. The young men have
procured several hundred feet Of rope,
torches and ladders and will thoroughly
explore the cavern.
What adds u peculiar interest to the
and give zest to the explorers
is the well-known fact that in the heydsy
Of his career AZ a bandit Joaquin Murietta
and his band Of faithful followers made
the recesses Of Table Mountain the base
Of their operations in this section. From
there they would swoop down on the
miners, and then, laden with gold dust,
retreat to the mountains Search as they
might, the officers could not locate them.
1t has been supposed by many this same
cave was where the famous outlaw Sc
creted bimself. 1t may he. too, that deep
down in the bowels Of the earth Joaquin
hid the greater portion Of his ill-gotten,
but nevertheless just ss potent wealth.
