ARTESIA.
The Big well-.what the Association
Have Done and are Doing-One
More Chance to Purchase these De-
sirabLe LANDS.


The second well put down by the
Land Association at Artesia, has re-
suited in one of the largest, If not the
largest, flow of water In the valley.
The flow is reported as being nearly
five inches. Heretofore two and three
inch wells have been considered very
strong-sufiicient to irrigate a farm of
eighty acres. The well was piped up
six feet yesterday, and still the water
flowed over a strong two-inch well.
There are now in the neighborho0d
about thirty flowing wells and four
sets of hands are at work sinking new
ones. In all of these operations there
has been no failure water-fiowing
water-has been obtained in every
instance.
This additional certainty of getting
a good supply of water for irrigating
purposes has strengthened the faith of
the people i'm the Artesia settlement,
and has turned the attention of the
public strongly in that direction.
The association has fulfilled every
promise made and more, too. They
agreed to give ten per cent. of the re-
ceipts from the sale of all outside lands
sold at the first sale for the erection of
fine school house. This school house
fund thus far amounts to but about
$4,000, and yet the association have in
process of erection fine school house
edifice, which. will cost over $4, 600 and
have also donated two town lots,
which are worth $500 more. They put
down q fine artesian well on the public
plaza aud have donated it and the
plaza to the public. They have car
Angeles to Artesia and back free of
They have done a good work for Los
Angeles county by bringing into no.
tice one OF the finest tracts of land In
the entire valley and selling it to ac-
tual settlers ....s..s...s.,..
The result of this movement will be
very rich settlement Of Industrious
farmers and good village with a
school house second to none in the
county and consequently a good
school. eesfa to8 yaatf
One more chance will be given the
public to secure homes in Artesia. No
lands are being sold by the association
at private sale, although daily appli-
cations are being made.s &c.
When we take inte consideration
the fact that farming lands in the
Eastern States are worth from $50 to
$500 per acre and even more, and that
one acre at Artesia will produce more
than two or even three acres in the
State of New York, people need not
be afraid of paying too high prices for
good irrigable lands here in Los Ange-
les at the prices now in vogue.

A Wonderful Tree.

The Eucalyptus, or AustralianGum,
is probably the most.singular tree that
grows in our latitude. We yesterday
visited Judge Widney's placee and
saw some evidences of its growth and
character which are really marvellous,
and can hardly be believed without
oracular demonstration. Trees which
now stand twenty feet high and are
five inches in diamatar at ti.s -IS--0,
the Judge assures us were planted one
year ago, and, at that time were only
little sprouts about a foot high. We
saw number of boxes in which the
Eucalyptus seeds were being sprouted
for the Forest Grove Association.
When first peering above the ground,
the little sprouts have every resem-
blance to bed Of radishes, the stems
being slender as needles, with mere
dots of leaves upon them. Looking
at one of these fragile plants, it is
hard to picture 1t two years hence the
lofty tree with solid trunk and spread
ing branches. The Forest Grove AS
ISOLATION have now some three hun
dred of these boxes sprouting, and
from them expect to raise several hun
dred thousand trees on their grounds
in Los Nietos. The trees will be of
sufficient size in four years to be valu-
able for timber or for manufacturing
purposes. The wood is solid, close
grained and exceedingly tough, sus-
ceptible, we believe, of receiving
high polish and in every way adapted
to the manufacture Of furniture or
like uses. Besides this, it is
thought that new virtue has
been discovered in this tree, which
will make it even more valuable and
in better demand. We refer to its use
for piles in our harbor-docks. The
best timber now used for that purpose
will hardly Withstand the action of the
elements and water insects longer
than four years. The toredo, q little
worm of destructive proclivities, bores
into the piles and honey-combs them
for the whole length below the water
line; barnacles prey upon them, decay
is hastened by these causes, and the
piles are soon rendered unsafe, requir-
ing renewal throughout. Practical
tests have shown that the eucalyp-
tus is entirely free from these destroy
ing effects. The wood is almost ex-
empt from decay and insects do not
touch it. If it can thus be utilized in
constructing wharf which will out
last the pine or redwood for even'a few
years, the discovery will be worth
millions. Altogether, the eucalyptus
is a wonderful tree, and its merits yet
to be made known to commerce will
place it in the front rank for intrinsic
value. 1catTE#

Translated for the HERALD from La Cronical
A private letter from San Francisco
announces the sad news of the death,
on the 18th inst, of the sister of the
unfortunate Estrada. The same letter
says their mother Will soon follow
them to the tomb. Both suffered from
the terrible emotions caused by the
crime of the son and brother and the
fatal sentence and execution. 1t
is sad to contemplate the results
of the crime committed by these two
unfortunate young men, and should
be a terrible warning to our rising
generation.
Don Manuel Azpiroz, Consul Of
Mexico In San Francisco, will leave
in few days for our sister republic,
having obtained short leave nf abb
sence. Don Miguel G. Pritchard will
discharge the consular duties during
his absence.
We saw the other day phenome-
non in Messrs, Dooner & Sotello's
drug store in the shape of two sleeps
heads united at the neck. Unfortu-
nately, it was necessary to cut the
monsters body to pieces in order to
save the ewes life; otherwise, the
Barnum of California would have had
good specimen for his museum.
The eve who made herself famous is
from the flock of Don Rafael Poggi, of
Wilmington.
Don Alberto Flores left this life for
happier one on the 18th inst, at $50
P. M. He died in Azusa, and was
buried in San Gabriel. Deceased was
native of Mexico, and was highly
esteemed by ali who knew him. q

The funeral service of Mr.. Clancy's
son Robert, who died Tuesday, took
place yesterday afternoon and was
largely attended.
The schooner H. L. Tiernan, Cap
tain Mitchell, arrived at San Pedro
yesterday. She was five days from
Humboldt, and brought lumber for
Perry, Woodworth & Co.
Eighteen cars were taken out in
the Spadra train yesterday. The ex-
traordinarily heavy shipments on this
branch are made up principally of
railroad material and supplies and
Panamint freight.
The case of Pico VS.. Cuyas was ar
gued in the District Court yesterday.
This interminable legal tangle seems
to draw out longer the more it is un-
raveled, and we almost fear that, be-
fore it reaches an end, it will be time
for the lion to lie down with the
lamb.
We enjoyed rich musical treat last
evening in listening to the perform
ance of Profs. Fischer and Schad, whom
we accidentally met at private resi-
dence in the city. The melody which
they draw from violin and piano sur
passes anything that we have before
heard in Los Angeles.
An application was made in the
County Court yesterday for the dis
charge of Lopez and Torrez on writ
Of habeas corpus. 1t will be remem-
bered that these men were implicated
in the late stabbing affair in Sonora,
and are charged with assault with in
tent to kill. Judge O'Melveny dis
charged the writ and ordered that the
defendants be admitted to bail in the
sum of $3.50 to appear before Justice
of the Peace.
A drunken fracas occurred in the
upper portion of the city last night,
which created quite sensation. An
Indian named Jose Francisco, who
was Ioanng arOunu houeo of ill-re-
pute and well gone in liquor, drew a
knife and attempted to stab woman
known as Rosa. An alarm was given
and Chief Carrillo, with Officer San
chez, came upon the scene in time to
prevent any harm. Francisco was
taken down to the calaboose and
procession of at least hundred men
and boys followed to give the affair
due form and character.

Another Railroad Extension.

Superintendent Hewitt of the
Southern Pacific Railroad is in receipt
of official information from Mr.. Hunt
ington, now in New York, to the eff
feet that branch line will be pushed
to the Southeast from Spadra a dis
tance of 100 miles, making rail COM
munication with Indian Wells. The
iron and other necessary material has
already been purchased for this extern
sion, and the road will probably be
completed by the end of this year.
This will bring the road within the
distance of 100 miles from Fort Yuma,
and the movement looks strongly to-
wards connection with that point.

How TO SAVE N Cosr OF MANUFACTURE Is
thus suggested by James c. Baylis in pa
per before the New York Society of Practical
Engineering
We are very near the maximum of econo-
my as regards the cost of power. We can
build boilers that will evaporate ten pounds
of water for every pound of coal burned un-
der them, and when it is attempted to econo-
mlZe still farther, it is found that the inter
est upon the the increased cost of the boiler
amounts 10 more than the value of the coal
saved. 1t is doubtful if any important I'M
proycment is possible upon the Corliss en-
gine gear, or the Cornish cataract double
head valve. Steam jacketing has not yet,
in this country, received the attention to
which its important entities it; and with
this, and in clothing with felt and other
non-conduc;ing substances. there is room for
profitable experiments. For tie next half
century we must look to economy in little
things for the cheapening of the cost of manu-
factured products Among the attainable
economies not generally carried to their ulti-
mate application, the saving Of fuel is the
most prominent, and it is one of the most
serious drawbacks to our industrial prosper
ity. Waste of fuel results mainly from bad
firing. 10 an experiment made with differ
ent men, each with the same amount of fuel,
tho best man ran the engine $4,000 revolu-
and the poorest %, 900 revolutions. A few
years ago, the best engine-driver in Great
Britain, and who was always in request at
competitive trials, was lad l3 years of age.
This bog could run an engine longer with Il
given amount of fuel than any other eng-
neer in the country, and the fact is sugges
tive.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN BOARD
AT CHICAGO. The first session of the 10th
annual meeting of the American Board Of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions began at
Chicago. Tuesday afternoon, with a large
number of members and visitors present.
Ex-Presidsnt Hopkins, of Williams College,
President of the Board called the meeting TO
order. The report OF the home department
stated that 20 missionaries had been sent to
foreign lands, and only two are now prepar-
ing TO go, to which deplorable fact the Board
calls the attention of its friends. The wo-
mans boards have done grea, and success
full work, and their usef illness increases
every year. Their influence is felt in the
schools, in the homes and in the treasury.
The years work might be characterized. like
that of the previous year, as unprosperous
and unfavoraole. Money has not flown as
readily a. before the panic, and the debt has
been somewhat increased. The income, this
year, is nearly 81, 900 less than last year.
The report OF the foreign department no
tices the general progress Of the work
abroad. The additions TO the churches in
the missionary fields havo been larger than
usual. and the prospects are bright. Twelve
missionaries have been released. Only 20
new laborers have gone out, although the
calls for werkmen are urgent in the fields OF
labor. Native pastors nearly equal in num-
ber the missionaries, and some of them are
developing great power and having grand
success. The report concluded with gen.
eral summary, Of which the following are
