Prof. Chas. N. Steen, the Only Mind Reader
in the World.

The alta contains the following epi-
sode of our old friend Steen, who was
sent up to San Francisco by subscrip-
tion few weeks ago:
We have had among us a celebrated
gentleman, who has astonished our
confiding citizens by his powers OF
reading other peoples minds, and who,
by virtue Of his supernatural powers,
has won from them many golden
dollar. Fortune seemed to favor him,
and the propitious goddess appeared
for time to bestow her fondest smiles
upon him. But clouds will come upon
the fairest skies, and our fondest as
pirations often prove to be but castles
in the air. Such is the case with the
well-known mind.reader,
PROF. sTEEN.
His exploits have been already re-
corded, and he has been accused of
being circus magician, as we'll as
trickster of the most expert character.
A few years ago, after quilting the
good people of the East, he visited
Europe and attended the Vienna Ex-
position, and on the other side of the
Atlantic took in many ducat. Re-
turning, he came back to his old
haunts on the Pacific Coast, grown
bolder if not wiser. Here he had been
favored of late, until his personnel was
accidentally discovered, and the con-
sequence is that he will probably
spend two years of imprisonment at
hard labor, with ball and chain at
tached, at AlcatraZ.
A short time ago the celebrated
mind-readcr gave seance at Pacific
Hall, which was packed to its fullest
capacity and was in every way re-
munerative to the protector and salts
factory to the audience.
A TRIP TO EUROPE
Was contemplated, and in few days
a new departure was to have been
taken. The arrival of certain officers
Of the army in this city few days

We're walking along Montgomery
street, when they discovered the Mind
reader gazing into the windows of
Colonel Andrews Diamond Palace,
evidently with the intent of purchas-
ing token of regard for some friend
he was about to leave behind him.
The officers found that the gentleman
resided at the Russ House, and on re-
pairing there the day following were
informed that he had left town. A
second call, on Thursday forenoon, re-
suited in the officers alluded to con-
fronting him in the Office of the hotel,
where he was arrested as deserter
from Co. /, 23d Infantry. He con-
fessed that his game was up, and last
night he slept at Alcatraz, doubtless
wishing that he was where he should
be-among the Indians in Arizona.
He has probably accumulated some
property, and may experience some
relief in the thought that when his
term of service to the country is over
he will have nice little capital to
start anew with.

streams. The existence of these wells
suggest the thought that perhaps 9TH
ers might be bored still further North
and West. Around the base of the
mountains from Cahuenga Pass to
Santa Monica, innumerable springs
break out while out in the valley they
come up from beneath. Is it not pro-
bable that artesian wells might be
struck among the foot hills that fringe
the Northwestern margin of the val
ley. The indications for the existence
of subterranean streams are as favora-
BILE as on the San Pedro ranch. We
do not know that the experiment of
boring for artesian water in the vicin-
ity of the foot hills has ever been test
ed. We hope some one will make the
trial. The broad rich mesa compris-
ing the San Vicente and Santa Moni-
ca ranches and thousands of acres ly-
ing between those ranches, and the
city might be converted into produc-
tive farms by means of artesian wells.

A Rival.

The Express has a rival. In any
thing but a pleasant humor it an
nounces the fact itself. The field of
gush, hyperbole, rhodomontade, gram
diloquence, overstrain and fiction
hitherto monopolized by our evening
contemporary is invaded by another,
and there is weeping and wailing and
a reckless hurling about of big words.
A paper away up in the classic regions
of Oregon threatens to usurp the posi-
tion of chief horn blower for Senator
JONES and Santa Monica. Some idiot
up at San Francisco, whose writing
produces the most irrefutable evidence
that he never saw Southern Califor-
MIA, sends a communication to an
Oregon paper about Santa Monica,
the "Future Great City" He says
that Senator JONES purchased 10000
acres of barren rock, laid out a town
thereon, and thenceforth directed the
steamers to proceed not to Los Ange-
les, but to discharge their cargoes at
Santa Monica, and to give to that
place the entire rade ofinterior, central
and Southern California. Even with
the mostC Christian n feelings in our breast
that blunder of placing Los Angeles
on the seaboard is objectionable, and
will certainly not be excused by those
of our citizens who are so well pleased
at the prospect of future greatness as
to imagine the eyes of the world are
centered here; but as to the mistakes
about the great metropolis down by
the sea We imagine that the CORES
pondent absorbed his ideas from the
Express, and candor compels us to ad-
NIT that his enraptured vision never
saw at Jonesville more imaginary re-
alities than the columns of our cotem-
| porary have from time to time pic
tured. 1t is unreasonable, therefore,
for the Express to berate this misera-
BILE youth for praising the great city.
He learned the art of highly coloring
his sketches from that sheet, and his
first lessons were taken from the ET-
press. If the pupil has exceeded the
skill of the master, the latter should
not so readily expose his anger to the
public. If this poor wretch consid-
cred he could out-Herod Herod, it is

A Farce.

No man has better right TO censure
the folly of separating the judicial
from the general election than FITz-
GERALD. The experiment has robbed
him of four years duration in office.
Had the law been such as to admit
the placing the names of candidates
for State Superintendent of Schools on
the ticket voted at the general elec-
tion, Mr.. FITZGERALD would have
been elected by 10000 majority. As it
is, he is defeated by nearly or quite
half that number of votes and his 0p-
ponent is elected by the support of but
fraction of the voters of the State.
Judging by the returns so far received,
it is probable the total vote cast at the
Judicial election will not equal one
half that of the general election.
Hence the Judicial election is not an
expression of a majority of the voters
of the State. There is still another
Objectionable feature in the Judicial
election farce. 1t imposes heavy and
useless expense on the people. The
expense of the general election foots
up $751; 900. 1t is probable that of the
Judicial election will approximate
that amount. Here is one-half of
$4,000 wasted-thrown away,-and
every dollar is taken from the peoples
pockets. We have practised this folly
sufficiently long to prove that it does
not answer the purpose intended; that
it does not secure an expression of the
voters and that it imposes a heavy
burden on the taxpayers.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 21st.-Late
bullion shipments embrace 81, 100 from
the Humboldt mine on the 10Th; $4,000
from the Imperial mine on the same

dividend the shipments from this mine
have aggregated $903, 100.
The annual election of the Exche-
quer Mining Company resulted in the
election of S. Heydenfelt, J. Wartz, J.
J. Hill, Chas. Schod and Andrew
Baird. Jas. A. Kennedy was chosen
Secretary and f. A. Schultz Superin-

A Spaniard named Manuel Castro
was found dead this morning in his
room at the rear of 636 Vallejo street.
He was discovered lying on the floor

Near by the body was a broken vessel

died from internal hemorrhage. The
deceased was an exempt fireman, fifty
years of age, and unmarried. Coro-
ner Stone held an inquest to-day in
the case of Ada Ayers, years of age,
who was crushed to death by car on
Clay street Hill last Tuesday. 1t was
shown by the evidence that the little

ately in advance of the car and was

her death was accidental.

Value of the Beet.

The cultivation of the sugar beet in
California is destined to subserve a
purpose of which our people are yet
unaware. Some time after the intro
duction of beet growing in Europe
the farmers found that their lands
were becoming sterile, repeated fail
ures of the crop warning them that
some effort must be made to supply a
deficiency in the soil. AS usual in
Europe the chemist was consulted,
and analysis of the soil revealed the
fact that the potash was exhausted.
This element was u superfiuous one in
the beet, so far as chemical utility is
concerned, rendering the moiasses so

strong as to be Unfit food for man OF
beast. AS potash was costly fertiliz-
er and the beet sugar and molasses an
almost worthless product the farmers
were recommended to return the mo-
lasses to the soil instead of selling it,
This they have done, and the beet root
lands remain as productive as ever
The potash is the salts or alkali of the
land. This element, deleterious to
most vegetation, is the life Of the beet
and its presence all over California ac-
counts for the mammoth growth of
this plant. Hence ii is manifest that
the common beet is the first antidote
for alkali, and when this has taken
away certain percentage of the pot
ash, is to be followed by the sugar
beet. The former will be valuable for
feed to hogs and cattle and the latter
for the manufacture of sugar. The
beet sugar factory at Sacramento is
now paying five dollars per ton, an
acre yielding six tons of some beets
some six thousand tons being grown
in that section this season.
