Earthquake at Winnemucca.

WINNEMUCCA, November 30th.-
Several shocks of earthquake visited
this place end surrounding country
yesterday morning between 6 and 7
o'clock. The first occurred a few min
utes after o'clock, and was quite Sc
we're, and shook things up very lively.
Clocks We're stopped by the vibrations,
plastered buildings were racked, and
the plastering cracked in all direc-
tions. The Court House suffered the
worst of any in town; the plastering
in the second story is badly broken,
and in the courtroom portions fell to
the floor. We have learned that sew
eral wells in the town, which furnish
ed plenty of water the evening pre-
vious, were found totally dry soon
after the earthquake occurred, and
have remained dry ever since. In the
mines in Winnemucca mountain the
miners report that they felt eight dis
tinct shocks, two very severe ones, at
intervals of about fifteen minutes.

What the SIanderers Have Done.

EDITOR HERALD: / am an old res
ident of Los Angeles, having lived in
this city ten years. / am not the per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Beaudry, and at
the opening of this campaign had no
thought of voting for him. But L cam
not endorse, nor do believe any other
conscientious man will endorse, the
course the Euendsag Express has pur-
sued toward him. We all know Mr..
Beaudry to be an honest man, and the
attempt to brand him as dishonorable
by those who know the falsity of their
statements and know that their at
tacks on him are for the sole purpose
of defeating his election is, am con-
fident, condemned by every honest
man in this city. If worthy citizens
who consent to become candidates for
office are compelled to submit to the
vile attacks of newspapers that would
SANDER woman if paid for their
work, we shall soon find it difficult to
induce good men to run for office. I
shall now vote for Mr.. Beaudry, be-
cause believe it my duty to aid in
vindicating the character of respect
able citizen against the vile attacks
and false assertions of newspapers that
have the reputation of always being
for sale to the highest bidder.
AN OLD RESIDENT.
Los Angeles, Dec. 8.
Our correspondent speaks but the
sentiment Of hundreds of our citi-
zens. Mr.. BEAUDRY is too we'll and
favorably known to be injured at home
by the foul, malicious charges that
hatred and malice have trumped up
about him.. The people and journals
that are now hurllng their slime
against him have until few weeks
ago contributed their testimony almost
daily to his worth as citizen and in
tegrity as man. Mr.. BEAUDRY will
receive many votes on Monday which
will be east for the sole reason that
"An Old Resident" will cast his-to
rebuke the slanderers of private char
acter.

VIM. Taber has arrived from San Pc

A party of five young men started
out on Sunday last for a hunt along
the shore of the bay beyond the dry
dock. After q few hours spent in
rambling over the hills, one of the
party suddenly found himself in close
proximity to Il man apparently lean
ing against small tree. The spokes-
man hailed the stranger, whose back
was toward him. Receiving no re-
sponse, he crossed around and through
the bushes for better view. He was
Mortified to discover that the man was
dead and suspended to the tree by q
rope around his neck. Both feet of
the deceased rested on the ground
His legs were considerably bent at the
knees. A fine suit of black covered
the remains, which had the appear
ance of having been there long time
This ended the sport for the day and
the hunters returned home by the
shortest route. Information of the
discovery was lodged in the Coroners

ENDORSEMENT OF THE
HON. j. ROSS BROWNE,

SAN FRANCISCO, November %, 1874.
WIN. IL. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Union-Dear Sir:-I have just Wis.,
tied the "Centinela and Saucal Redonda"
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility OF soil,
beauty OF location, and advantage OF easy ac-
cess and salubrity of climate. For purposes OF
colonization, know of no large body of land
30 near a growing commercial centre, in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, to equal it. No part of ii
is unavailable for farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres to several hunered acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient. The land Is
subject to easy Irrigation; and lean youch for
the fact that it Will produce anything that
fiourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties 1t Is my confident opinion that the
value OF shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years, such:is the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity OF Los Angeles at the present time.
Wishing you success In your undertaking, l
am very truly yours,
]. ROSS BROWNE.

Los Angeles and independence Road.

Our people appear to be waking up
to the Importance of this railroad; and
well they may. All former railroad
projects in which the people of Los
Angeles have participated are as moth
ing in Importance compared to this
one. The immigration to this country,
the progress we have. made and the
life and prosperity in every depart
ment of business, is mainly due to
what we have done in building the
little lines through our valleys. We
have been amply compensated for
all we have ever done; but these roads
are yet local and have not benefited
us except by attracting immigrants
and putting our lands in market. Our
trade is yet local and must remain so
until we are connected with the great
back country north and east Of us. If
through our negligence we suffer that
trade to be taken from us, we must
forever remain small people isolated
from the great world of trade. We
must depend upon our own little
farms, gardens and orchards for trade.
The richest and most extensive belt
of mineral country on the continent
lies just back of us. With the
immense trade which that coun-
try is destined to furnish and
which can readily be brought to the
cities and towns in Los Angeles and
San Bernardino counties, the growth
and prosperity of these counties would
astonish everybody. But the road it
self is perhaps the best investment in
our knowledge. From the day it
reaches the Mojave valley-a distance
of thirty odd miles it would attract
the trade for two hundred miles be-
yond, and it's own earnings will be
ample to complete the road. We be-
lieve that every man in this and San
Bernardino county stand ready to assist
and all they want is to know that it is
to be an honest thing. There has
been so much humbugging about rail-
roads that the people are all in doubt
about anything connected with them.
We want this to be peoples railroad.
Let them build it, own it and control
it; which they will do if the matter is
so inaugurated that they can see there
is no humbug in it. Every farmer in
the country is to be benefited by it,
and will take stock in it. Every mer-
chant, mechanic, hotel-keeper, livery
man and laborer will be benefited, and
will help to build it. We want to see
the people of the whole country here at
the mass meeting on the 18th.

IT may be well to mention for the
information of those who are charging
Mr.. BEAUDRY with attempting to steal
the city's property, that as early as
May of last yearhe made an argument
in the Council in favor of mapping the
city as means of preventing parties
from obtaining lands which properly
belonged to the corporation. He
urged that correct survey of the city
should be made and maps drawn
which would clearly show not only
the city's but every individuals prop
erty. If Mr.. BEAUDRY was using his
power in the Council to secure the
city's lands, as the Express charges,
he would not have favored the map
ping process, which had it been car
ried out, would have effectually pre-
vented all attempts at land grabbing.
