GERS. It's wonderful place for grape
brandy, and IL few hundred pipes
are found in the cook-stove and like
number in the distiller's hat, we
shall not be surprised. Counting our
hay-mow discovery and that promis-
cuously scattered around and dug up
out of the ground, there have been
about 10000 gallons already brought
to light. The distillery accounts for
$4,000 gallons manufactured during
the season, and $1,000 gallons of that
was sold and removed. On what is
already in the hands of the officers,
the Government revenue amounts to
OVER FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS,
None Of which has been paid. The
great problem is, how and when was
the brandy buried? A notion pre-
vailed few thousand years ago that
to bury brandy greatly improved its
flavor, and some people have started
the theory that what was found by the
officers yesterday was buried by G.
Columbus, while on spree. Others,
again, believe that Los Angeles is as
full of brandy deposits as the San Fer
nando mountains are of petroleum.
There is no telling what the sappers
and miners will unearth to-day. We
live in an age of wonders. Only
think, Los Angeles valley one great
grape brandy bonanza!

Common Council Proceedings Extra Session.

The Council met at 1880 last evening
in extra session with Mayor Beaudry
in the chair, and present, Councilmen
Workman, Leahy, Huber, Lichten-
berger, Teed, Mullally and Robinson.
The City Surveyor was instructed to
establish the grade on Olive street be-
tween Second and Third, according to
an agreement made between the
property-owner on the street and the
special committee of the Council.
On motion of Mr.. Huber the resolu-
tion establishing the grade of upper
Main street, passed at the last meet
ing, was reconsidered. The resolution
was then referred back to the City
Surveyor and City Attorney.
A communication from b. Cohen
was received notifying the Council
that the grading of Commercial street
would injure his property and that he
would resist the payment of any tax
therefor. By request, Captain Bor-
rowe, the contractor, made state
ment relative to the improvement of
Commercial street, and the covering
of the zanja running acress the street.
He expressed an opinion that the
work of covering the zanja could be
successfully accomplished in accord
ance with the provisions Of ordinance.
The usual bills were brought up and
referred to the Finance Committee.
A bill of Capt. Borrowe for SIT so
and two bills held over from last
month for drivers of city carts were
ordered to be paid under suspension OF
rules.
The sidewalk in front of A Amestoy's
building on Alameda street, was or
dered to be rednced to width of ten
feet at the expense of the city. The
Board of Public Works was author
lied to have the change made.
On motion of Mr.. Leahy, permission
was granted Capt. Borrowe to close
| Commercial street from Wilmington
to Main, one block at time, while
improving that street.
On motion of Mr.. Huber street con-
tractors were notified to keep lighted
lamps at all breaks in streets during
the nighttime.
The Council then adjourned.
