The Boushey Oil Company.

AS the prospects are now so favor
able-we may almost say assured-that
first class we'll will be in operation
in our immediate vicinity, it may not
be out of place to give our readers
some idea of what they have in the
East, and promising that there, great
numbers of wells outside of the tested
territory of Pennsylvania, which in
their search for oil, with far less indi-
cations of it than are present here,
struck these immense reservoirs of gas,
which have worked such revolution
in the manufacturing interests of
Western Pennsylvania. We append a
description of the latest one struck,
which accidentally took fire and is
still burning:
The following interesting description
of II burning well in Butler county has
been forwarded to the Signal Office by
Mr.. j. Cummings, of Tarentum, one
of the volunteer observers for the sig
nal service:
On the night of the I'd of February,
L, in company with several others,
paid visit to the great gas we'll, stu
ated about nine miles from Tarentum
and fifteen miles from Butler, at a
place called Larden's Hill, on the farm
of VIM. Hervey. The well was tapped
about two weeks ago, as learned from
one OF the proprietors, in their search
after oil. They have gone down dis
tance OF /, l45 feet, and have just struck
the first sandrock.
The well is located in hollow about
800 feet wide between abrupt hills.
Our party came in the vicinity of the
we'll about O'clock at night, having
seen the vast light floating in the sky
on many dark night on previous oc-
casiOns thirteen miles distant, but
when we came in its immediate influ-
ence and saw the trees on either hand
lit up and their trunks ana branches
silver to their tops by the burning
torch the scene was entirely beyond
description.
The first thing to strike the visitor
Oh arriving is the great mass of fine
white flame of intense heat and bright
ness; the hollow, rumbling noise heard
as the outrushing gas plunges into the
atmosphere and lights all around by
its imposing brilliancy. The flame of
this natural torch is about forty feet
long and fifteen wide, and keeps at
these dimensions night and day with
striking regularity. Hence the light
is both regular and constant. The
heat emitted by so large body Of
flame is very great. The trees all
around, at proportional distance, are
budding, aud the grass that has not
been trodden down by the visitors is
growing finely, and considering that
this is mid-winter, this circumstance
will give you some idea of the great
heat. approached within sixty feet
of the flame and at that distance sup
posed it to be about 1400. The light is
grand. You can see to read with eas0
a quarter of mile from this enormous
gas jet, and if not interrupt ed by trees
and the wind of the road, reading
could be done at distance of mile
and half.
The noise, as the gas rushes out and
is consumed, is wonderful. 1t struck
me as very much like the hollow
sound of river falling over dam,
uninterrupted and constant. This,
together with the light and heat, fills
the beholder with awe. The sound of
its roaring can be heard a distance of
four miles.

The Los Angeles Homestead Asso-
citation will distribute lots among
their shareholders on Thursday, July
lst. The property is well situated
north of Morris Vineyard, between
Pico and Washington streets, and the
lots are of the generous proportions of
los 3-5 f, ct by IT'S As feet. The price is
fixed at $500, payable in monthly in
stallments of $40, without interest, un-
til paid This is very desirable mode
of getting homestead on easy terms,
and we would recommend it to those
desiring home.
On visit yesterday to Rumble &
Gaertner's assay office, we found that
they had obtained results that place
Los Angeles in the front rank as a
mining district. Tin, zinc, gold, sill
yer, lead, nickel, copper and iron have
been extracted. An assay was made
for Mr.. Wolfskill, which yielded SAT
in silver and 25 per cent. copper to the
ton. An assay for Mr.. Sotelo of rock
outside of the real vein, yielded $39 to
the ton in silver. Mr.. Sweetman's
assay, S16 95 to the ton; Mr.. Potts
assay yielded gold Sl5, silver ST. and
2S per cent copper.
We had the pleasure yesterday of
call from Ex-Governor Padelford of
Providence, Rhode Island, who is
stopping at the Backman House. The
Governor has travelled extensively in
Europe and is calculated to weigh all
the advantages of Los Angeles care
fully. He is gentleman of the old
school and one OF the most successful
merchants in New England. Accom-
panying him are Professor Hill and
Col. Zephaniah Brown, of Providence.
We hope the party and the fair ladies
accompanying them will have every
opportunity to see Los Angeles.

Grand Concert by the Italian Company.

AT the earnest request of our music
lovers, the Italian Company have con-
sented to give a concert next Satur-
day night at Turn-Verein Hall. The
opera of Don Pasguale was received
with great favor, though nothing was
needed to convince us that the troupe
was composed of first-class artists.
After such an agreeable surprise there
was a general demand for another ex-
hbition of their great musical talent,
to which the troupe have acceded, and
will appear next Saturday evening, in
a medley of operate selections of the
most recherche character. They have
selected the gems from favorite ope-
ras and blended them in an elegant
programme, which Will show each ar
tist in the best role. The bill COM
prises arias, serenades. Duets and
quartettes from such celebrated musi-
Cal productions as Favorita. Lucrezia
Borgia, Judith. Norma. Freischuetz
and Martha. and the selections are
justly regarded as the musical beau
ties of the operas named. The first
act concludes with grand duett from
Norma by Madame Franzini and
Miss Reiffarth, and the performance
ends with grand quartette by the
troupe, either OF which will delight
the musical assemblage. The high
character of the programme presented
and the distinguished ability of the
singers, permit US to demand of our
people full house. Seats can be Sc
cured at Lewis Lewin's during the
week.
This is only the prelude to series
of fine musical entertainments, the
first Of which will be the grand opera,
III 1rovatore, Verdi's masterpiece,
with a grand chorus of local talent.
We are assured that it will be placed
on the stage regardless of expense,
and feel certain that our people will
give it generous patronage.

Dead Grasshoppers.

A dispatch from ST. Paul, Mimi,
says that grasshopper eggs in Decker
county on the Northern Pacific are re-
ported destroyed. Nearly all the
worms were from a quarter to half an
inch long. The smaller ones are
white and the larger ones are tinged
with brown. In blue earth many of
the eggs are said to be rotted and
killed by the prolonged cold and wet
weather. The prospects are promising
for an overwhelming yield in Red
wood, Yellow, Medicine and Lac Qui

THE JUBILEE of the Roman Catholic

The JUBILEE of the Roman Catholic
Church was observed by the Catholic con-
gregation in this city on Sunday evening
last, by procession and other imposing
ceremonies. The first Jubilee was declared
by Pope Boniface VIII, in 1900, and was to
recur every hundred years. On this occa-
sion, all who visited the Church of st. Peter,
at Rome, for certain number of days, with
pious offerings, received plenary indulgence.
The period was shortened by Clement vi
to fifty years; by Urban vi, to thirty-three
years, and by Paul II to twenty five, at
which last it still remains. The last Jubilee
OF the Church was celebrated in 1850. The
condition of visiting Rome is no longer in
force. certain acts of devotion or charity be-
ing substituted for it.

point across the creek and near the center
OF West Jackson. This is perfectly proper,
as that large body of our citizens were enti-

ST. CHARLES THEATRE. even

~ ShhhbEo 1Ldcb ,PNCu-
ing for the first time in this city was presented
at the Old Drury, on the occasion of its open
ing night, the play of the 1.-TWO Orphans"
The audience was large in proportion, and
very nearly filled the house to its utmost ca
pacity. This play in seven acts is worthy Of
the popularity it has obtained in all cities
where it has been presented, but much of it1
present success is due to the talent Of the
company by which it is now being rendered
The late hour at which the performance
closed, prohibits more than q passing notice
of the conduct of the several roles. The play
abounds in touching incidents, and some Of the
scenes are SO pathetic as 70 July arouse the
sympathy of the audience. The interest is
kept up from the first to last, and the applause
of the assembly was most enthusiastic. The
success of the company in presenting the play
was signal and it has been long time since
there has been given in this city performance
that has received such complete appreciation.
