San Francisco, Oct. 25.-The follow
ing telegram was received ut the Con-
sohdated Virginia Mining Company's
office this morning, from the superin-
tendent of the mines: Two hundred
inches of water broke in from the east
wall on the fourteen hundred foot
level on Sunday morning. The stream
has since been reduced to about ninety
inches and may run out altogether in
few days. Men are now engaged in
dlverting Tie water to prevent damage
to the mine. The Gould & Curry,
Savage, and The Hale & Norcross
mines are filling rapidly, with all the
pumps running. All hoisting of ore
has been stopped.
Later dispatches to private parties
state that at noon the water was under
control.

Capitalization of Sound.

This will be a noisy article. Some
body has suggested that one great bell
is better for all practical purposes than
many small ones. The bell and belfry
of the average church makes up con-
siderable item in the cost Of the struc-
ture, and yet when the sexton tolls
that bell it is only those living in the
near vicinity who are told that he is
tolling it. The jar to the building
consequent on ringing that bell entails
a damage to be thought of. Next, the
usual hour for service is the same in
all churches, therefore one great bell
which could be heard miles beyond
the corporation limits could call all
sects, creeds and denominations to
their respective houses Of worship.
The city needs bell which may be
heard to its remotest corners in order
that all may know when there is a
blaze on somebody's premises. A sys-
tematic plan or ringing this great bell
must be agreed upon by which the
signal that the devouring element is
raging and the fire laddies wanted, or
the joyous ringing on gala day, may
be designated from the solemn sound
which calls sinners to repentance. The
great bell could be placed in position
on framework say thirty feet in
height and, and man employed
whose business it would be to ring
that bell on all occasions in manner
appropriate for those occasions. This
one great bell would do the work of
many small bells; churches need not
incur the expense of bell purchase and
belfry building, and we should have a
bell the slightest tone of which would
warn all within a circuit of miles
around that it was time to go to
church.

Avoid the City.

1t is reported that never before has
there been SO many poor men and des-
titute families in San Francisco as at
the present time. Hard times and
the extreme cold weather in the East
have induced many families to seek
the Pacific Coast, and large propor-
tion of these left the place of their
nativity with means barely sufficient
to pay their way to the Golden State.
Now they find themselves in strange
city, among strangers, with little
chance for employment and without
the wherewith to fight the wolf from
the door. If we may trust reports
from the East, the tide of immigra-
tion westward has just begun to flow.
Thousands and thousands of families
will land in California within the
next six months who have but scant
means and but the vaguest idea of
where they will settle or by what
means they will earn livelihood
They have heard OF the Golden Land,
and have read of its rich soil and
Summer skies, and they think if they
can only reach San Francisco, they
will no longer suffer the deprivations
of long, cold Winters, nor be SUBJ

The Wooden Mill Zanja.

A few days ago the HERALD had an
article pointing out the water power
advantages which Los Angeles could
offer to manufacturers who might de-
sire to establish business here. We
still hold that these advantages exist
and We are firm in the opinion that
their use should, at nominal cost, be
placed at the disposal of those who
would establish an industry in our
city. But when we learn the expense
devolving upon the Noolen Mill for
the use of one of those water privileges
we incline to the opinion that unless
the cost is reduced it is not much of
privilege after all. AS we are inform
ed the city grants the Woolen Mill
the right to use the water OH the con-
dition that the Woolen Mill Company
maintain the ditch in good repair.
This ditch is about ten miles in
length and the Woolen Mill owners
have found that the expense of keep
ing the ditch repaired is so great as to
involve loss in running the mill,
and consequently the mills have dis
continued operations. Let US look at
the surrounding facts: Residents of
this city living West of Olive street
have suffered all Spring and are still
suffering for want of water. This is
occasioned by the stopping of the mill
and tho cnnseanant bad condition of
the ditch. The Woolen Mill was an
enterprise in which the people were
greatly interested and it seems pity
that it should be crushed out by the
hard conditions imposed by the city
authorities on the right to use
the water. The citizens residing
on this ditch pay the same rate for
water that is paid by irrigators on
other bitches. The use of the water
by the woolen mill does not affect it
in quality or quantity, and the city
receives from the irrigators the same
amount that she would were there no
wooden mill on the ditch. The point
we wish to make is that it would be
better for the city to keep this ditch in
repair at her own expense and require
a mere nominal rent from the wooden
mill for the use of the water, than to
impose such conditions on the manu-
facturers that they are compelled to
stop their mill and through the bad
condition of the ditch inconvenience
and injure irrigators. We suggest to
the Council that something be done in
the way of remedying what seems to
be damage both to the people who
want the water and to the Woolen
Mill Company. We ought to encour-
age manufactures.

jeeted to the depredations of the grass
hopper scourge. Nor will they; but
they will find San Francisco a poor
place for poor people. They will find
it a poor place for the common la
borer. They will find the cost of liv-
ing high and the landlord inexorable.
They will find the shops and kitchens
filled with the cheap labor chattle,
and they will find no employment for
their boys and girls. They will find a
hundred labor exchanges, each one of
which will take their money and
promise, but they will not
find them employment. They
will find if they try to remain in the
city that they had much better have
remained at home. There is room in

trodden South-but they must not stop
in San Francisco. That is the place
for mechanics, artisans and profess
sional men, but to families who have
lived ia the country and devoted their
lives to agricultural pursuits we say,
do not stop in San Francisco unless
you have an abundance of means.
This advice holds good with common
laborers and all without trade or pro-
fession. Get into the country; go out
into the broad vallies; go among the
foothills; go up the mountain side;
pitch your tent in the mines, but avoid
our one great city if your hands are
hard and your purse light.

WHY should woman who has once
been married always be called Mrs,
JONES, while SMITH, who has been
muchly married three or four times, is
always called Mr.. SMITH? Mrs. JONES
is a widow-grass or providential- l.
and she can never again play herself
off for a maiden, but SMITH, who has
buried two wives and divorced the
third, moves into an adjoining neigh
borhood, parts his hair in the middle
and sets up for a youth who never in
his life promised to love, honor and
cherish woman. 1t is all right that
Mrs. JONES should have a distinctive
appellation which prevents imposi.
tion, but is it not equally right that
the innocent Mr.. SMITH should write
his name Widower SMITH, in order to
prevent any little misunderstanding in
regard to his matrimonial status?

n NOTWITHSTANDING the heavy land
sales, by which many thousands of
acres have in small lots passed into
the hands of settlers in this valley
during the past few months, the de-
mand for farms seems to be increasing
daily. The number of arrivals in this
city never was before as great as at
the present time, and it is matter of
note that the greater number of the

and steady business, while the large
land companies, Centinela, Artesia

AT her state election which occurr

AT her State election which occurred
on the 9th inst, New Hampshire
polled an increase of several thousand
votes oyer that cast at the election of
last year. This year the contest be-
tween the Democrats and Republicans
is so close that there is no choice by
the people for Governor. Last year
the Democrats elected their candidate
for Governor by handsome majority.
This year the increase in the total Re-
publican vote is about 1900 over the
total vote of last year. There is a
slight percentage of increase in the
Democratic vote, but not more than
might have been expected from the
change in political sentiment notice
able within the past few months. But
the increased Republican vote is mys-
terious, not to say suspicious. 1t al
most causes one to wonder if the Ad-
ministration has not been experiment
ing with the colonization scheme on
this the first of the Spring elections.
