New Line in MendOCinO
County.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TIBURON, Aug. 13.-President A w.
Foster of the California Northwestern
Railway Company dispatched large
surveying force last week TO make a
working location through the redwood
section northeast of Ukah, in Mendocino
County, with a view to beginning the
extension of the line northward. This
move on the part of the company marks
the starting point of a new era for
Mendocino and Humboldt counties and
will be hailed with JOY by all the resi-
dents of that section of the State .
The party is under the direction of Civil
Engineer Harlow, a well-knOwn railroad
surveyor, and the work will be pushed
with all dispatch. 1t is hoped everything
Will be in shape for the letting of con-
tract toward the close of the year.
If the original intention of the company,
as expressed by President Foster at
masS-meeting Of the citizens at Ukiah five
years ago. is adhered to, the road will be
extended as far northward as Eureka. the
county seat of Humboldt County.

extent. ANALYSIS of this coal showed that
it was of a superior quality and a syndi-
cate to work the mine was formed. When
it was found impracticable to extend the
line of the San Francisco and North
Pacific Railway nOrthward at that time
an attempt was made to form a company
to build a line from Westport, on the
coast, TO the coal fields. This project had
TO be abandoned on account of the great
natural obstacles to be overcome. From
that day to this little has been done, but
interest will revive as soon as the rail-
way company is found to be in earnest.
In addition to the coal fields, the pro-
posed line will tap a region of redwood
forests that will furnish a practically in

no signs of the Warren and a British

Upon sailing from Nagasaki Captain

in consequence felt very anxious until
informed yesterday morning by the
pilot that the Warren sailed from Yo

The firemen on the Centennial say
that the trouble on the Warren was all
caused by the engineers. They worked
a sick man until he nearly dropped
dead, and then because the rest of the
men objected they were arrested.
1T was just this way said fire
man yesterday The engineers were
down on the white men because they
wanted Chinese or Filipinos. One of
the men named Edwards was sick and
asked to be excused from work. The
second assistant said he was shamming,
and told him to go on with his work.
Edwards tried to work, but couldn't.
Nevertheless he was forced into the
f1reroom and then the men began to
object. The entire force of firemen and
coal passers went before the chief and
complained of the way Edwards was
being treated. The chief ordered them
back to their work.
Then there was trouble. Some of
the firemen went ashore and got drunk,
and when thew came back and found
Edwards trying to work in the fireroom
they were crazy. Then when the sick
