and Fresno Railroad, arrived from New
York last week. Ever since work on the
road was suspended colonel Jones has
been negotiating for more funds, and it is
now understood that work will be rapidly
pushed on the road. The Colonel refuses
to say anything as yet in regard to his
movements, except that work and capital
will soon talk for themselves.
When Vice-President H. A. Green was
seen he also refused to say much. He did
say, though. that the contract for the
building of the road as far as Hollister had
been relet, this time to the California Inn
provement Company. About twelve miles
of the road has been graded and it is
thought that new camp will be pitched
some time next week.

John Leddy Meets With a Fatal AccI-

Los Angeles.


SAN JOSE, CAL, June 3o.-The Grand
Jury was in session yesterday investigat-
ing the discrepancies that exist in the
books of ex-County Clerk S. w. Boring.
After the fling of the reports Of Experts
Mullin and Foote about a month ago, and
their report of a shortage of $1,000, time
was allowed Boring to have the books ex-
ported. Boring employed Ed Halsey and
on Thursday he rendered his report to the
Grand Jury, which showed that there was
$121 due Boring from the county. Halsey
also claimed to have found deficiency in
the books during County Clerk Erkson's
time The three experts were before the
jury yesterday explaining their reports,
and both sides were equally confident that
their reports were right. The jury called
in G. G. Smith. an expert who is in no
way interested in the matter, and he took
exception to large portion of Halsey's re-
port on the ground that he had given
double credit.
Smith said that in every instance where
doubt existed Boring had been given the
benefit in Halsey's report. AS the time
was too limited to allow Smith to examine
the details of the report, the jury adj
journed until next Friday to allow him to
complete his investigations.

from $50 to $35 per ton for apricats for can

and quality. l have heard that $25 and $50
per ton has been paid for a good quality of
BARTLETT pears. The pear crop in the val
lev is light, and in some. localities there is
some complaint of smut or mold on the
fruit.
"There has been some demand for
reaches, but as yet no price has been fixed
nnon them. I understand that buyers
have offered $40 per ton for them, but no
;mnortant sales have yet been made in
this valley. The crop of peaches will be
excellent, but not very heavy. There has
been a serious dropping of peaches during
the past month. especially the clingstones
and lemon clings. N
"For green prunes from $25 to $50 per ton
has been offered, but only two sales at
these prices have been reported. No

MONTEREY, CAL, June 3O.-The visit

were treated to rare sight. The CAIN
blue waters of Monterey Bay have been
somewhat tempest-tossed, and the bay has
swarmed with large schools of whales and
other fish which annually pass through
en- route to to the waters of the north. At
times the salmon were so numerous that
in places the water would be one mass of
living creatures entirely emerging from
the water, while in other places the water
would be perfectly black with millions of
sardines. Never before have so many fish
of different varieties been in the bay.

ought to be fair and the market reasonably

1t is now generally conceded that the
