two about the crops in this vicinity
small grain is all in the stack and
bin. The wheat yield aveages 20 to
% bushels per acre. Since the rain
corn looks well, and will make a
good crop. Late potatoes look well
but early ones are cut short by dry
weather. Farmers are busy thrash
ing and marketing their grain.
Wheat is worth 60 to 65 cts. per bush
ell, oats 25 to % cts. Buyers are en-.
gaging corn at 50 cts.
Our county is new yet; at least
one-half of the land is unimproved,

Anaheim and Vic nifty.

THE PROPOSED BoLsA CHICO WHARF
Is located three and half miles west
of the present Anaheim Landing. BY
q careful survev it is demonstrated
that at two thousand feet there is
twenty-one feet of water at extreme
low tide. Therefore the contract is let
to build this wharf 1000 feet long.
Eighteen hundred feet of it is to be
sixteen feet wide, and two hundred
feet is to be eighty feet wide. The pier
head is to be unusually strong-in
fact, the whole wharf is to stand on
the best Of redwood piles. The con-
tract is with Mr.. E. GAY, an old con-
tractor, for $4,000, and it is to be fin
ished by December lst. The location
of this wharf is central for the valley,
thirteen miles from Anaheim, the
same from Wilmington, the same
from Orange and ten miles from Santa
Ana. 1t il protected from the south
and southwest winds. by the Catalina
Islands, and from the west and north
west winds by San Pedro heads. Moth
ing has ever given so much encour-
agement to the people of Anaheim as
this great enterprise.
The survey of the Rancho las Bolsas
y Paresdes has just been completed
This ranch has recently been patented
by the U. S. Government to the Los
Angeles and San Bernardino Land
Company.
Many inquiries have recently been
made relative to lands, and the pros
pect is there will be an acquisition of
many settlers to this section the pres
ent season.

Of animals and there are thousands Of
millions of them found in lime-stones.
Caves are in limestone formations
and are found by water, at first only
dropping into crevices thence flowing
through the earth. Echo river in
the Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, has
been at work forming that cave,
and is still at work for untold ages.
1t probably originated by a drop of
water dropping into crevice followed
by another and so on accumulating,
forming stream and after myriads of
ages has done its present work. In
the carboniferous formations we find
the coal measures. What is coal |?
how found etc. 1t is vegetable mat
ter pressed together and shut out from
light and atmosphere. The growth of
vegetation was enormous. The plants
of bogs and marshes running up to
hundreds of feet. That it is vegetable
matter is proven by the forms of
branches and leaves of trees in the
formations of shale above, and
the roots Of trees in that below
these coal beds. Before man, or
even animal life, everything was
adapted to the enormous growth of the
vegetable kingdom. The earth was
one great hot-house-crust thin, evap-
Grafton great, consequently great rain
fall and great heat. We will see how
large the vegetable kingdom grew
when we consider that it took three
hundred and sixty feet Of vegetable
matter to make one foot Of anthracite
coal, and some of these coal beds are
forty-five feet thick Thus it would
take more than sixteen thousand feet
of vegetable matter to form such a coal
bed. The first generations Of trees
had only the original soil to grow in;
the later have grown on their tops,
over them. Changes took place much
faster in the carboniferous times than
now. Forests Of enormous growth
have risen and fallen. Thus land and
water have changed places, and it is
demonstrated in some places that there
have been seventy such changes. "A
majority of the plants were ferns in
the early ages; they are adapted to
moist, warm climates. He has seen
in one coal mine in England seventy
horses and five or six hundred men
two thousand feet below the surface.
1t is estimated that there are one hum
dred million tons of coal in the mines
Of Great Britain; yet the time will
come when this will be exhausted and
she will have to look to Brother JON
athan for coal. 1t is estimated that
there may be in the United States one
million million tons of coal. He next
explained the saline formations. OF
one thousand parts of the waters OF the
ocean, twenty-seven parts are salt.
Here another science comes to our aid.
1t is only through chemistry that we
can understand this subject. AS in
the history of animal life zoology and
geology go hand in hand, and explain
each other, SO have geology and chem
istry coincided precisely. We cannot
follow the learned lecturer further,
interesting as he made the subject,
but advise everybody to attend his
future lectures, and enjoy the rich
treat so seldom given to the Los An
geles people. The Professor has
happy faculty of amusing his audi
ence, as we'll as instructing them, and
often brings the house down with APP
plause and laughter. The subject to-
night is "Animals of this period, or

Professor Denton's Lectures.

Professor Denton's third lecture was
as great q success as his first two. He
commenced by saying: We have
traced our planet over a great space of
it's progress, and find that animal life
first began in the water, as the land or
solid portions of the earth was too hot
SO with vegetable life, it began in the
ocean, but unlike animals, as fish be-
ing few and small at first, vegeta-
ton was enormous vegetable life
great In'all stages new forms of life,
animal and vegetable, appeared as old
forms departed. We next notice the
.carboniferous period or formation.
Using the charts, he pointed out
many mysteries not explained by ge-
ology.) We find the oldest portion of
this formation in the ocean, too. He
explained the conglomerate forma-
tions, then dwelt especially upon
limestone formation. In some in
stances three-fourths of these stones
are formed of little insects, and it is
proven that they were only the joints

Not Guilty.

The case of the People VS.. Jaime
Fernandez occupied the attention of
the District Court through the whole
of Thursday and Friday, and was con-
cluded at few minutes past 10 O'clock
last night. 1t will be remembered
that Fernandez was indicted for the
murder of an old man named Mendi-
oroZ, committed on the 9th of June,
under circumstances which seemed at
the time to be most fiagrant. The par
ticulars Of the affair were reported in
full at the time, but we reeapitulate
few of the principal points, A feud
had arisen between Fernandez and
the family of Mendioroz, about dog
and some trivial matters. 1t seems
that in the bad blood thus engendered
Fernandez offered some real or sup
posed insult to the wife and daughters
of Mendioroz, and on the evening of
the 9th of June he was called to an
account for this by the old man.
High words followed, and the result
was that Fernandez drew q revolver
and shot Mendioroz dead. On the
trial the wife and daughters of the
murdered man testified, substantially,
to the facts as given above, and fur
ther, that after the husband and
father was shot, he drew small dag
ger, which he always carried on his
person, and attempted to follow his an
tagonist, bat fell to the ground imme-
diately thereafter. Two other wit
nesses, brought by the defense, testi-
fled that they saw the shooting, and
that before Fernandez produced his
weapon and fired, Mendioroz drew his
poinard and made pass at him. Upon
this testimony the defense was
based, claiming that Fernandez acted
simply for self preservation, The
counsel on the part of the defendant
was Mr.. Frank Ganahl, and the prose-
cution was conducted by Col. V. f.
Howard, District Attorney. Both
sides were ably argued. At o'clock
last evening the argument was closed
and the jury retired; at 10 o'clock
verdict of "not guilty" was returned.
Much interest was felt in the case,
and strong popular feeling existed
against the accused. Whether he was

General Crooks ValedIctory.

The following is the text of General
Crooks valedictory to his old regi-
ment, the Twenty-third Infantry
Headquarters Department of Ari-
Zona, Prescott, July s, lS74.-It is with
feelings of more than passing regret
that the Department Commander, in
obedience to orders transferring the
regiment to another field Of duty, parts
with the Twenty-third Infantry. An

to be hoped that the officers reputa-

that in due time they may receive the

troupe acquitted themselves with
credit. The trained animals were a
