The Parvln Steam.Plow.

This plow, patented by II. G. Parvin,
works by "direct traction 1t is
ma aufactured at Harrington, Fulton
county, Illinois, and costs $4,000. A
trial of it, reported as entirely success
full, took place under the direction of
the inventor, at Dixon, Solano county,
California, November 18th. The
ground, stiff clay, or clay adobe, was a
field of wheat stubble, from which the
grain had been harvested by heading.
An eight-gang plow was first attached
and found not adapted to the condi-
tions. A large three-gang pillow and a
twO-gang pillow were substituted, each
cutting fOOt-wide furrow and cutting
five or six inches deep. With forty
pounds of steam, it travelled off and
worked these plows with ease. Sub
sequently twelve men got upon the
plOws and drag was attached, so that
both plows and the drag ran to the
depth of ten to twelve inches. By APP
plying eighty pounds of steam, the
engine again had sufficient draft power
to move forward and pillow without APP
parent effort. 1t appeared to be as
easily managed in its movements as a
regulated by the amount of steam, and
is controlled by the operator up to the
rate of three miles per hour. The
proper rate is represented to be about
two miles per hour. Moving at this
rate, never firing, and blowing rib
bon five to eight feet wide, it is easy
to estimate the amount it would pillow.
To run it requires man and boy, and
tender to furnish fuel and water"
The inventor claims that one Of these
steam-plows has, at a cost of seventy
five cents per acre, broken up the
toughest kind of prairie meadow in
Illinois. In this estimate, the cost of
hands was reckoned at 50 so per day,
and of coal at 50 so per ton. 1t is re-
ported that SO much confidence in its
success has been inspired that a joint
stock company is being organized in
Sacramento for the purpose of manu-
featuring these steam-plows.-[ Janu-

ture.

Smelling Works.

Sometime since it was rumored that
movement was on foot for the cree
ton of smelling works in this city. We
have waited anxiously for indications
of an earnest purpose in that direction,
and meantime take occasion, as we
have before done, to urge upon our
business men and capitalists the great
Importance of such an enterprise.
Los Angeles is the natural business
center OF vast mineral region, rich
in ores, and just fairly coming into
notice, The establishment of smelling
and refining works here, where the
more stubborn ores that cannot
profitably be reduced at the mines,
can be treated, would not only be a
great convenience to the miners, but
would bring business to our city, and
prove source of revenue to all con-
cerned in it. 4aa
The parties that are the principal
owners Of the Pannamint mines con-
template getting out their richest
ores, and shipping them via this city
to San Francisco. If we had proper
works this ore would be reduced here,
and the profit of handling it would re-
main with us instead of going to en-
rich and buildupanot community.
The immense bullion product of the
Cerro Gordo mines passes through our
city, and is Of some advantage, but if
it was refined here, great expense in
freight would be saved, and an i'm
portant business would be built up.
No movement that we think of, ex-
cept the development of our petro-
leum, promises SO we'll for the future
of our city, and we hope to hear that
some energetic man has taken it in
hand with the determination to win.
Los Angeles daily herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1873-1876, 1874-02-22

Mr.. Freeman in his speech the
other day, advocating the passage OF
the bill for q reduction of the salaries
paid to State officials, made a start
ling exhibit of the extravaganza that
obtains in the management of our
State and county governments.
The fact is, nearly everything con-
nected with the carrying on OF our
local institutions was provided for in
the days when mining the precious
metals was the only employment,
and speculation of the widest charac-
ter filed the place of ordinary bust
ness.
In such times of excitement, when
fortunes were momentarily gained and
lost, and every one was drunk with
the prevailing mania, it was idle to
expect that men could be found to
perform the plodding duties required
by the public without large compen-
sation.
Now however the times are
changed. We have stable popula-
ton, engaged in the ordinary avo-
cations of life. We still possess sur
plus of non-producers, but are striving
to induce the settlement among us OF
thrifty farmers and mechanics from
the East
The best inducement we can offer
this class of settlers, is an economical
" administered local government.
The fact that taxes are low goes far in
deciding the intending emigrant as to
the choice of a home.
AS long as we have q long list OF
high-paid officials, many of them val
liable only to draw their salaries, it
will be difficult to convince the frugal
and industrious men of small means,
that our State offers the best field for
settlement.
The evils of high salaries do not stop
with the simple loss of the sum paid.
Prodigality on the part of the State
begets extravaganza among it's SER
wants, and the idea that officials must
maintain a certain style adapted as
some will have it, to their positions,
leads them into an expenditure that
at last can only be met by POPULATION.
Mr.. Freeman's figures-a portion OF
which we give in another column
show that California, with a popula-
ton of only about 100000, has a more
expensive State Government than
Ohio with 100000, and that except
ing New York, run by Boss Tweed,
and South Carolina, the paradise of
the carpet-baggers, we are more ex-
pensively governed than any State in
the Union.
The enormous sum of SO, 483 1899, an
average of SIS "a per capita, is yearly
collected from the people of the State
to pay the expenses of the State and
County governments, saying nothing
about the amounts raised for munich
pal purposes.
We must change this if we would in
duce the capital and industry of other
sections to make their homes with us.
Los Angeles daily herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1873-1876, 1874-02-22

An incident occurred in our town last
week, which, in itself, was of no great
Importance to the casual observer; but
to parties interested in the future
of our town and county, it deserves
more than passing nstice. We refer
to three fine bars of silver bullion that
we saw at our neighbours, Messrs.
Brum & Roe. The fact to which We
refer is that this is the first shipment
of silver bullion from quartz mill in
San Bernardino county. This bullion
is from DR.. Winchester's mill, located
in New York District, in this county,
distant about 200 miles. By the way,
our friend, the Doctor, has come very
quietly among us, and saw our county
and what it was capable of prodr cling;
having marked out his plan, proceed
ed to carry it out, which he has done
successfully, and in the face of OBJ
stacles which would deter an ordinary
business man from attempting the
operation. Coming among us COM
parative stranger, and leaving a fine
practice in Engin, ILL.,, he has put to
practical use his favorite study of min
eralogy, in which the DR.. has been a
deeply interested and untiring student
for many years. He boldly relied up
on his own judgment and departing
from the old ideas of quartz men in
this State, has discarded stamps in his
mill.
He uses the Whelply & Storer pulver-
izer, with Blake's crusher, and to-
day his mill can reduce to an unpal-
pable powder thirty tons of quartz rock
every twenty-four hours. At present
he has not matchmaking pans suf-
ficient to work all the rock that is
crushed. Here again his labors in his
study come into practical use; instead
of ordering pans from San Francisco,
he will now use the Freisburg Barrel
process. One of the barrels is now in
operation and working successfully,
pouring out the amalgam clean and
bright. By the pan process the
amalgam comes out black or dis
colored from the iron of the pans.
Taking the whole mill, it is not ex-
celled by any twenty-stamp mill in
the State, and reflects credit on the
Dr., who has at all times been master
and self-dependent. We are informed
by parties who recently visited the
district that the mill was running day
and night, everything working like
clock work. The mine on which the
mill is working, the Highlander, is
looking well. They have a tunnel run
in on the ledge 256 feet and turning
out fine ore. There are many other
mines in the immediate vicinity and
ore enough in sight to keep half a
dozen mills running. From the first
of March we are informed that the
shipments of bullion will be regular,
that adding another and very impor-
tant item to the resources and prOduc-
tions of our San Bernardino county.

while now with a much larger popula-

argue that it was the over-abundance
of currency in 1854 that caused the
