Gold.

The Santa Barbara Press Of the 10th
inst, announces the discovery of gold
in considerable qantities in the foot
hills few miles to the northeast of that
place. The discovery was accidental,
and was made by gentleman while
engaged in opening spring. w. NJ.
LENT has party at work short dis
lance from Santa Barbara prospecting
for quicksilver, and we are informed
the indications are favorable for the
discovery of a mine equaling in rich
ness the famous New Almaden. Par
ties are prospecting in the hills to the
east and southeast of this city, and
they report the finding of gold in
small quantities wherever they have
tested the soil. Some weeks ago the
HERALD pointed out the fact that
broad expanse of comparatively I'M
prospected mineral region lay between
Mariposa county and the mines in
Arizona, and we predicted that the
recently discovered mineral deposits
in Holcomb Valley would induce the
thorough prospecting of this section,
and lead to the discovery of rich leads
and extensive placer mines. The dis
coveries alluded to indicate the early
verification of our predictions. The
recent finding of number of finely
prospecting lodes in the mountains
east and northeast of Visalia are also
reported. These discoveries are at
tracing the attention of miners in the
central portion of the State, and many
are already OH their way to the new
mines. One discovery will lead to an
other and we do not doubt but that in
the mountains of Southern California
will yet be found some of the richest
and most extensive mines ever work.
ed in the State. This is the opinion
of experienced mineralogists who
have given the matter their special
attention.

Our Wheat Yield.

AS the harvest approaches the pros
poets for an unprecedented wheat
yield becomes almost certainty.
Nearly two months ago the HERALD,
after a careful examination of the
young crop, estimated that the wheat
product of California this year would
closely approximate fifty million
bushels. At one time since that esti-
mate was made there were indications
that in certain sections of the San Joa-
quin Valley the crop would fall below
expectations formed earlier in the sea-
son. Cool weather and unexpected
showers, however, removed all fears
in that direction, and now the promise
for large yield throughout the State
is certain to be redeemed. If our re-
ports are reliable, at least one-third
San Joaquin this season than at any
previous year since the settlement of
luc Nullty. III tllt CdClulllclltO Nullty
the proportionate increase will be al
most the same, while in Sonoma,
Mendocino and Marin the heaviest
crops will be harvested. In some por-
tions of Solano county the wheat has
been partially drowned out, but the
aggregate yield of the county will
probably exceed that of any former
year. In Yolo and Colusa counties
the acreage is larger and the yield
consequently greater than ever before.
Throughout the State wherever wheat
was sown, good crops are assured. AL
together the indications are that the
product of the State will fall but little,
if any, below the HERALD's original
estimate of fifty million bushels. 1t
is an enormous yield, yet we can in
crease our acreage one-third, perhaps
one-half, greater than it is this year.

The City Library.

The question of establishing our
Public Library on the basis provided
by the Act of the last session Of the
Legislature, will probably come up at
the next meeting of the Council. The
citizens are almost a unit in favor of
voting the fifteen thousand dollars in
bonds, and we presume the Council, or
at least majority of that body, will
comply with the wishes of those they
represent. Assuming that this will be
the case, we desire to offer few sug-
gestions for the consideration of all
concerned, relative to the best method
of procuring library building and for
obtaining the ground on which it shall
be erected. First, that the lot on
which the building is erected shall be
donated by the city or some public
spirited individual. Second, that it
consist of not less than five acres.
Third, that it be elevated land, afford
ing from the library view Of the
whole city. Fourth, that the building
be two-story structure, one story of
which shall be appropriated to the use
of the Mayor and Common Council of
the city. Fifth, that the grounds be
leased for specified term of years to
a horticulturist and landscape gar
dener for nominal sum; he to set out
trees and cultivate flowers and shrub
berry until the expiration of his lease,
at which time the whole shall revert
to the city. The city owns property
which is now comparatively USE
less, that is we'll adapted for
the purpose. The object in securing
five or more acres is that the library
grounds may be made attractive
made, in fact, place of public resort.
The beauty of the location will be
greatly enhanced by selecting an ele-
waited position. The person leasing
the grounds will realize a handsome
income from the sale of flowers and
shrubbery, and yet turn them over to
the city we'll improved. These ideas
will not meet the approval of all, but
they are worth considering until bet
ter plan is suggested.

Some San Francisco Bar Keepers.

If, as now seems probable, LocalOp-
ton is successful in San Francisco,
the result will be due in great meas
ure to the detestation in which the
people hold the thousand or more
spruce young bar-keepers, who grace
the city with their presence. The old
San Franciscan has a vivid remem-
brance of these young fellows. Their
photograph is as familiar as the face
of Emperor NORTON. They are sleek,
smooth disciples of the devil. They
are youthful in appearance, and often
soin fact. They wear good clothes, and
an abundance, sometimes super
abundance, of jewelry, cheap and
otherwise. They cultivate soft,
silky, juvenile mustache. Their hair
is always nicely curled and frizzled.
They are on duty half of the night and
half of the day. The other half of the
night they sleep, and the other half of
the day they spend in standing on the
street corners making vulgar remarks
about passing ladies, and in seeking
victims among the young girls of re-
spectacle families. These handsome
young sprigs constitute no inconsider-
able feature of picnics. Their cheek is
only equalled by a brass kettle or that
of drunken policeman. They thrust
themselves into every group where
they espy young girl. The young
glrl-the miss who has reached that
age when she is confident she is wiser
than her grandmother-is almost GER
tain to admire, then fall desperately
in love with the pretty young bar
keepers incipient mustache and bea-
tiful curly hair. Hundreds Of young
girls in the city mark their downfall
: from the day of their acquaintance
with a curly-haired bar-keeper. Many
grief-stricken family remember the
lay with sorrow and date their dis
grace with his first meeting the once
pure daughter. There are honorable
men-gentlemen- whose occupation
is that of bar-keeping, but in San
francisco there are too many of the
class we have described. They are
seen ON the streets, on the ferry boats
at picnics, in the public gardens and
too often they work themselves into
respectable families. They are every
where, and everywhere they are seek
ing their victims-silly young girls.
To free themselves from this curse, to
avoid the danger Of these blights, to
force these semi-genteel hoodlums,
these unprincipled youths, into the
State Prison or to some employment
that will occupy all their time, men
will vote for Local Option who really
do not believe in the justice of closing
retail liquor saloons.

Pauper Immigrants.

1t has been proposed that our Gov
eminent shall defend itself against the
paupers landed on our shores from
other nations. Various schemes have
been suggested, among them one by
the Secretary of State that a bill be
passed giving the President power to
return from whence they came all
paupers, Migrants or convicts landed
in the United States; also to make the
steamship companies landing them
responsible for their return. The YES
sells known to be engaged in this trade
are also to be heavily fined. Such
law would not be productive of good
results. 1t would certainly work
great harm to many honest, WELL
meaning people. 1t is we'll known
fact that Il systematic shipping of their
plupers to this country has been for
long time practised by number OF
European nations. If means to pre-
vent this can be devised it will be well,
but a law such as suggested by the
Secretary of State will be abused. All
paupers are poor but all poor people
are not paupers. Nor are all who
reach this country by means of free
passage paupers. A ship lands her
thousands of immigrants at Castle
Garden. One-half of them have but
little money; many of them have
none. Who shall go among these
people and designate who are paupers
and who are not? 1t cannot be done
justly and impartially. The line be-
tween pauperism and honest poverty
is too dimly drawn. Until we have
tried them, we cannot tell which is the
man who will work and which is the
man who will not. If we would return
pauper immigrants, we must devise
another and better plan than that sug-
gested by the Secretary of State.

EXPERIENCE has pretty thoroughly
demonstrated the fact that seaside
watering place cannot become popular
nor remain popular unless warm
drink-something to take off the chill
from the cold salt water-can be read
lily obtained after bathing. The cock.
tail follows the brush and towel as
naturally as the cigar the dinner.
Even the ladies-those delicate, frag-
lie creatures-often find it necessary
after coming out of the surf to wet
their ruby lips with some gently ex-
hilerating nectar. Santa Cruz, the
most popular seaside resort, has
passed Local Option, and thus decided
that those who lave in her surf shall
not regale themselves with a social
drink. Santa Cruz has destroyed her
popularity with the seaside seeking
public. Her visitors will fall off and
her bright waves will roll in AMI out
again undisturbed by manly forms
and maiden sylphs. Santa Monica
must succeed Santa Cruz, and when it
does We shall not object to the bathers
drinking anything they can find.

The Proposed Railroad.

That enterprising journal, The Inyo
Independent, has, we are pleased to
see, conditionally withdrawn its oppo-
sition to the quality of track proposed
by Engineer CRAWFORD for the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad
In his issue of June 9th the editor says
the road advocated by the HERALD is
decidedly preferable to none, and if
our means will not enable us to lay
down the iron Il rail, then let us adapt
ourselves to circumstances and lay
down the stringer and strap iron. This
is precisely the position taken by the
HERALD. We assume at the outset
that the money used in building the
road must be furnished by the people
of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and
Inyo counties. The assumption is
based on the well-known fact that out
side capital will not invest in an en-
terprise of this character while oppor-
tunities for greater returns present
themselves. This road is a purely
local undertaking, and being such it
must depend solely on local capital
Mr.. CRAWFORD says we can build the
road for about twelve hundred thous-
and dollars. To use iron rail will cost
over two million dollars. We cannot
raise the latter sum, and therefore the
iron rails beyond our reach; we can
IA. Sc the former sum, and hence we
can build the stringer road. This is
the whole matter in nutshell. We
should like to see road from here to
Independence equipped with steel
rail, but as that is now impossible, we
are willing to accept what is possible
MIR. CRAwFoRD's plan ofroad. Now
a few words as to the utility and dura-
bility of the wooden stringer track.
We have before us letter written by "a
gentleman who resides at Cottonwood,
Inyo county, to a prominent citizen OF
this city from which We gather some
interesting facts concerning wooden
railroads. Speaking experimentally
the writer says: "This country is much
better adapted to the wooden road
than any other I ever saw, from the
fact that we can place our stringers il
the sand where they have continuous
bearing, and if tied once in six feet by
a two-by-four-inch scantling spiked in
the center of the stringer for the wheel
to run on, will do an immense amount
of good and last for five years with
scarcely any repair. know this from
actual experience, and know further
more that before it would wear out its
earnings over expenses would enable
us to purchase iron or steel rails.
Twenty miles of road in operation at
this end of the route, with present
traffic and the tariff allowed in the
Act of incorporation, would earn sutfi-
cient to build an additional mile
every month. All the material we
should use in this style of road, except
the two-by-four scantling, could be
utilized when the changed made from
wooden TO iron rails. The money to
build forty miles of the road can GER
tainly be raised. That much COM
pleted and equipped will materially
aid by its earnings in building the re-
mainder." These opinions from a
man of practical experience, are en-
titled to weight and consideration.
