From this other circumstances it is conjectured back of the scheme is the Santa | planning to enter San Francisco on a parity with the Southern Pacific. POINT TO SANTA FE. this belief are many One is'that the Santa Fe has had line surveyed from the San Joaquin alley over into the Santa Clara Valley and has secured rights of way that would lead it into San Jose whenever it is de- termined by the management to make rat move forward. It is also learned at, via San Jose, the Santa Fe would ave a line forty-five miles shorter to San Francisco than the one now used by way of Stockton and Point Richmond. Another fact is that the business of the Santa Fe is mainly south of S8an Fran- cisco and it would be a measure of econ- omy to come in from the south. When the construction of the San Joaquin Val- ley road was first discussed the advant- ages of a route via San Jose were recog- nized. Among transportation men who have thoroughly studied the local railway sit- uation as related to the overland rallways there is belief that the coming of the Santa Fe via 8an Jose is inevitable and only a matter of time, the only cloud on this prospect being that the Southern Pa- cific management, ever keenly alive to its own interests, might find it to its advan- tage to prevent its rival from having com- petitive rail iines on this side of the bay of S8an Francisco. Whatever may be the enterprise back of the terminal- just ac- quired at Coyote Point and the rail line surveys and rights of way acquired, the indications are most interesting. Coyote Point is but two miles from the town of Ban Mateo. Between San Mateo and the coast line the country is flat, so that very littie grading is required. Taken from all aspects, the selection of the point as a deep water terminal is prompted by care for the promotion of a great busi- ness, such as no merely local line would have to provide for. On the best of au- thority it is learned that the project im- mediately involves the construction of both an electric passenger railway from Coyote Point to Spanishtown, or Half- moon Bay, and also of a steam passenger and freight railway between the same points. The construction of the steam rallway line from San Mateo to Coyote Strengthening facts a — deep water terminal will be Scme e secured, so admits C. W, Clar nd some are ughf. That between San Mateo and Coyote Point h been granted. A franchise will be soug in San Matec nta Cruz counties to permit of th truction of lines from San Mateo to Halfmoon Ba 1 down as far, at le the coast and possibly farther south. SURVEYS OF ROUTES. The electric raflway from San Mateo to Spanishtown will follow route eleven miles long, s Mr. Clark. The steam freight a passenger line will be 205 miles from Coyote Point There are some grades but no engineering difficulties. A splendid and produc- tive country will be penetrated first time by lines of travel. There will one or possibly two tunnels for the steam passenger and freight line, but probably none for the electric passenger railway. The route of the steam road, starting from Coyote Point, will crossing the tracks of the Southern Pacific Company near Laurel Creek. Then it will pass up the Laurel Creek Canyon over a two per cent grade and then across the ridge between Laurel Creek and the poor- house road. Thence the line leads along the poorhouse road and continues to the easterly shore of the Crystal Springs res- ervoirs. With a slight grade the line is surveyed to go around the south end of the Crystal Springs reservoirs. From there the route is over a gradual ascent, the grade being about two per cent, trend- ing northerly and climbing the main ridge very close to the county road that leads over to Halfmoon Bay. At this point a tunnel will be driven through the divide near the summit and close to the county road. Then there will be a gradual descent to the floor of the canyon that runs up from Halfmoon Bay. This furnishes an easy and good ap- proach to Halfmoon Bay or Spanishtown. AN ELECTRIC LINE. The line of the electric road differs somewhat from that of the steam rail- , the variation being caused by the greater ease with which an electric pas- senger line can run over grades as com- pared to a steam line built for heavy traffic. The electric road is projected to start westerly from Coyote Point to and through the town of San Mateo. Then the route is along the private roads con- trolled by the Bowlie estate to the summit dividing the valley from San Mateo Creek valley. Thence the road proceeds over the summit into the San Mateo Creek vailey, crossing the same near the fork of the road that goes up to the poorhouse. The line next follows along the poorhouse road, passes the poor farm and swings around to the west, crossing the dam separating the two lakes of the Crystal Springs. From here the route slopes upward, gradually rising to the main divide at about the same locality as the point selected for the passing cf the steam road. Then the descent is into the canyon that leads directly to Spanish- town. The electric road can be construct- ed without any heavy cuts or fills, al- though the grade will be heavier than that of the steam line. The accompanying map, which is traced from the actual surveys of both the elec- tric and steam railways, indicates suffi- ciently the routes selected, and the section of country through which the two lines will pass. Beiow Bpanishtown there is a slight tracing of a spur, which is in- tended to show where .the extension of the steam road toward Santa Cruz and possibly farther southward will run.

One man was killed and four others were for five hours im- | prisoned, cut off from escape by several | tons of rock and dirt that filled the mouth of the tunnel. At 1:30 o'clock a force of five miners was at work in tunnel No. 3 on the thir- ty-seventh level. With a crash and roar ;ll\z\t was plainly heard throughout the | underground workings of the big mine an immense body of ore and dirt fell and completely penned in the miners. The news of the accident soon spread through the camp and a hundred men with picks | and shovels began digging as they never dug before to rescue their comrades. The | rock and dirt that obstructed the tunnel was loose and enabled the imprisoned men to be faintly heard by the rescuers. They communicated to the rescuers that one of their number was killed instantly by the big cave-in. At o'clock the rescuing party reached the imprisoned men and deliv- ered them from what would have been certain death had they remained in the drift another hour. Two of them were more dead than allve when taken out. August F. Stockman, the man killed, was working directly beneath the mass of rock that fell. He was 22 years of age and had begun work for the Bully Hill Company only last Thursday. He was a student from the Minnesota University. ——————————— Federal Officers Accused of Fraud.

Point Richmond, where the pres- ent bay terminus of the Santa Fe is situ- ated, is eight miles from the union ferry building. A line from Coyote Point is only about five miles longer than the route from Point Richmond to the foot of Market street. This difference is off- set many times by the saving of forty-tive miles by the way of San Jose to San Francisco, as compared with the Stock- ton-Point Richmond line of travel. On all points concerning the identity of the parties back of the extensive opera- tions in San Mateo County that are de- tailed in the foregoing, C. W. Clark main- tains an absolute silence.
