In the beautiful little valley of Ca
huilla, in this county, there is re-
markable spring. The water is as
clear as crystal and comes bubbling
up from fissure between two ledges
of rock. There is nothing strange
about this, except that every time the
water gushes up it brings with it char
red bark and small pieces of the
trunks of trees, mansanita balls, and
the roots of bush called dagger feet.
Small bones and fish scales have also
been found. When the charred em-
bers, or fire Goals, as they are gener-
all called, are taken from the water
they are quite soft, ami easily mashed
or broken; bat on being left in con-
tact with the air, they become quite
hard, and when cut with II knife pre-

ken from the fire. Many conjectures
have been made as to their probable
origin, and the manner in which they
came there. But so far no inference
has proved satisfactory.

The Great Scheme.

The long talked Of and highly in
fated Tom SCOTT railroad convention,
which met at st. Louis few days
since, has made its speeches, "reso-
luted" and adjourned sine die. That
is to say, the manipulators adjourned
from st. Louis to the lobbies at Wash
ington, where they have gone to do
all in their power and all in the power
of money to push through a bill
which, if it succeeds, will cost the
people of the United States more than
double the amount necessary to build
q double-track road from one side of
the continent to the other, The reso-
lutions adopted by the convention
were drawn up with OH eye single to
the interests of Tom SCOTT'S Texas
Pacific scheme, and government aid is
invoked with an earnestness worthy
of better cause. No bill ever before
Congress was more strongly supported
by the lobby than will be this bill this
Winter. The people of the South
have been deceived and hoodwinked
as to the purpose of the managers of
the Texas Pacific. They have been
made to believe that the road will be
a Southern road in fact as well as in
name, and their representatives in
Congress will support the most ex-
travagant proposition that SCoTT may
make. The scheme is to use the Gov
ernmonts credit in an indirect way to
the extent of probably $4,000 per
mile of the road But however indi-
rect the process by which it will be
attained, in the end the people will
be compelled to pay both the interest
and the principal of the bonds issued.
We are told in sort of patroniMng
way that theGovernment is only aske d
to become security for the payment
of the interest on these $4,000 per
mile bonds, and as guarantee
for the repayment of the inter. st, the
Government is to have the first mort
gage bonds on the road. The bonds
are to be sold of course, but as the
purchasers must accept the second
mortgage as security for their pay

Mutual Aid-hll Benefits Paid In Full.

The Southern California Mutual Aid
Association has lost but four members
since its organization in November,
1873. Every benefit has been paid in
full. The last two deaths occurred
about the first of September, and the
proofs of death were in SO that assess
ments were levied due October 9th
and delinqu ent in thirty days. After
which time members still had thirty
days longer in which to pay, by add
ing small fine for delinquency. The
assessments have been very promptly
paid, as we are informed by the Secre-
tary, Notwithstanding the tightness
of the money market and the call for
money to pay taxes now being made.

can be made from raising hogs.

Artesian Well Boring.

Everything relating to the develop.
ment Of our water supply is particu-
larry interesting to those of our citi-
Zens who are obliged to resort to arti-
fetal means to get it. But the preva-

chinery to go through them have
hitherto been the great obstacles in
the way of deep well boring, though
there is little doubt artesian water
can be had almost anywhere in the
valley. Everybody wants an artesian
we'll, but few care to risk their time
and money when n stray boulder
might cause the loss of both. Hence
it is with pleasure that we learn that

poses to carry on the well business in
all its branches. Having tools for
both surface and artesian wells, and
steam power to work them, rocks and

Said.

Some days ago the HERALD pointed
out the weakness of our SO called Ag-
ricultural Fair, and endeavored to
show that something else besides horse
racing was necessary to render it pop
ular with the people. Tn this connec-
tion the following sarcastic remarks
from the San Diego Union are not in
appropriate:
The races at Los Angeles appear to be pro-
gressing-thereby promoting the interests (?)
of agriculture in a corresponding degree. We
have endeavored for n long time TO get the
statistics showing the increased production OF
pumpkins and potatoes through the instru-
mentality of these races-notonly in Los An
geles but elsewhere, and the results OF our re-
searches thus far are very unsatisfactory. Is
1t not about time for "trials of speed" to be
held as such, and not under the guise OF ag
ricultural fairs? For our part, the only pos
sible excuse we can find for these agricultural
races is the quaint old couplet:
He who by the plough would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.
Exchange the sulky for the plough and
these "trals OF speed" might perhaps pro-
mott the interests OF ofagriculture.
