A Scientific Expedition.

Through the kindness of the editors
of La CrOnica, we are enabled to fur
nish our readers with the following
translation: How certain it is that an
intelligent man always finds some
thing to admire, objects worthy Of a
careful study, things that require a
minute investigation, though in places
where the absent-minded and ignor-
ant find nothing worthy of note and
particular attention. Some days ago
our good friend, DR.. Gelcich, made an
excursion to his new claim in the San
Fernando petroleum district, a mile
distant from the Rice claim, in COM
pany with Mr.. Miguel Bruphy and
the superintendent of the works, Don
Luis Diaz. Before us we have plan
of the place, which, after having re-
ceived the necessary eXplanati ons,
was drawn by our able publisher, and
which will materially aid us in our
work.
About a quarter of a mile from what
is known as the Rice claim and due
southeast, they penetrated a cafion,
finding very soon yeritable curiosity
to which they gave due consideration.
1t consisted of a trunk of a tree,
fprty feet long and of corpulent
thickness, perfectly petrified. 1t
layed across the crystalline waters of
a creek, and it's roots were lost in it's
bottom. Before us we have samples
of the petrified roots and bark of said
tree, and when simply viewed it diff
fers but little in resemblance to the
bark and roots of tree In its natu-
raj state; but their weight and the ma
ture of the matter composing them
are very convincing proofs of their
petrifaction. How tree of such di-
mensions and in such a situation
could have been petritied, is beyond
our comprehension; but perhaps, the
tree having fallen centuries ago, time
and the rains have changed the tOpo-
graphy of the ground there until dis
covered transformed to its present
condition. They likewise found pet
rtied shells, which is another proof
that in some distant day the waters of
the ocean flowed toward these heights.
But, perhaps the most curious thing of
all is species of cake formed by a
petrified bone of round shape, and
twenty-eight inches in circumference;
one side is smooth and appears to have
been exposed to the action of the
waves for years and years, the other is
spongy and has clearer indications of
its nature. It's color is nearly natural.
The Doctor thinks that said bone is
part of the vertebral column of a
whale, and we do not hesitate to adj
nit that it is from some of the great
cetaceans known by antediluvians; it
| is a noticeable fact that these fossil re-
mains abound in this locality, which
af1irms our theory.
Following their way through the
cailon, they found about seven natural
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-16

caves formed in the solid rock, each
of which could afford shelter to several
persons; approaching the caves they
found them full of honey, deposited
by some swarms of bees. Our friends
baptized them with the name OF
"Fingall,u celebrated in the history
of Scotland. On the opposite side OF
these caves is an enormous rock, sit
uated at least sixty feet above the bot
tom of the canon, and almost at the
foot of said rock, is a small crack,
through which the blade of a knife
can hardly penetrate, and out of which
tuns clear and crystalline stream OF
sulphate of iron water; down this
natural fountain, the rock has ac-
quired dark red color, which is a
sure sign of the ecumenical virtues OF
these waters. The efficacy of these
waters is well known by all, as they
have been examined by the Doctor
and found to be of excellent quality
for certain diseases, such as extreme
debility, asthma, dyspepsia, etc.
The mountains on each side tower
to a great height, and are abundantly
supplied with pines, oaks, laurels,
walnut trees, willows, alder trees, etc.,
some over two hundred feet high. A
permanently in the caf1on.
Continuing their way to an elevation
of 1000 feet above the level of the sea,
and about two hundred feet distant
from beautiful cascade which forms
the creek they found an enormous rock
which forms great natural tank, but
so perfect that it seems to owe its eX-
istence to human hands instead of to
the caprices of nature. Wherever they
went they found indications of exist
ing deposits of petroleum, and inspired
by so much beauty they gave the place
the name of the native country of our
good friend, Doctor Gelcich. That is,
they called it Dalmazia." They
baptized the cascade with the name of
Scardona," historical name of
DalmaZia, and soon after the three
gentlemen took possession of the place
according to the laws of our State and
the mining district.
Prodigal has been the creation Of
riches by nature in these regions, and
nothing is more just than that our en-
terprising men should take advantage
CO them to augment the wealth of our
country. Doctor Gelcich has proven
himself to be true henefactor of our
county, and for that reason We heart
lily wish him to be so recognized, hop
ing at the same time that he may
meet with the most complete success
in his undertakings, as 1t is we'll de-
served by one who, sacrificing years
and money, has dedicated himself to
foment the riches which we enjoy in
our privileged soil.

From the Union OF August II.

From the Union OF August II.
A. M. Davis, living near the CajOn,
accidently shot himself through the
right hand with pistol day before
yesterday. He is doing well under
the care of DR.. Royal.
We hear that seven thousand dollars
worth of the San Diego Water Com
pany's stock was purchased yesterday
by two local capitalists.
Mr.. Higgins, of .Sweetwater, re-
Gently met with surprise. About
two years ago he planted a number of
young orange trees, brought here
from Los Angeles. One of them soon
after, to all appearances, died. But, a
short time ago, Notwithstanding the
fact that it had not received drop OF
irrigation in two years, this tree put
forth shoots from the root, and Wig
orous growth is now going on. The
fact is remarkable illustration of the
adaptability of our mesa lands to tree
culture,
