The variance Of the several rain

gauges In Los Angeles is matter
for wender and debate. It is just
possible that a gauge may be SO
placed as to miss O great deal OF
the rainfall. The probability is
that the best test would be had
from a gauge placed on or near the
ground, with NO abutments, strong
upper currents of wind or other
obstacles to divert the precipita.

The case of VIM. Andrews,
charged with malicious mischief
in removing surveyors stakes at
the BalIona, comes up for re.triaI
by q jury Of six persons, by con.
sent, in City Justice Adams's g
Court at 10 O'Clock this morning.
1t will be remember by readers
of the HERALD that the previous
trial resulted in the disagreement
of the jury.
Mr.. II. 8. Thistlewaite, who has
been mining In the Calico district
for ssme time, was in town during
the week. In conjunction with j.
Huntington and d. M. Harwood,
of Orange, he has developed two
mines. which promise to yield the
owners handsome fortunes. One
Of them, the Little Bonsnzs, is an
extension of tho Oriental. which
was sold few weeks ago for
$45. 900, and which could not be
bought for ten times that amount
to-day. Their other mine is an ex-
tension of the famous Silver King.
Two mills are now being built, and
the camp promises to be one of the
richest and liveliest ever known in
California. a.--Andhein Gazette.
The taking of testimony In the
divorce case OF Smith We. Smith
was concluded yesterday. and the
case argued by Messrs. Brunson
and Hupp for the plaintiff and
Messrs. A. M. Stephens and f. II.
Howard for the defendant. About
forty witnesses were examined
during the four days in which the
trial lasted. At the conclusion of
the argument Judge Hines stated
that he was ready to render his
opinion, and was about to dictate
his finding and judgment to the
shorthand reporter, when counsel
for the defence asked for three days
time in which to file briefs on a
law point. The time was granted.
Judge Hines left yesterday after-
room for his home in San Buena-
ventura.
The latest news from Ivanpah, says
the San Bernsrdino Isder, is that
the mines there are being worked
with very good results. The last
strike in the Alley mine was a
very good one. Several tons have
been taken cut that work $4,000 to
the ton. They are now taking out
lot of ore from the old works
that was not considered worth de-
Ing anything with when it had to
be shipped away to be worked, but
1t can be worksd,now to very good
advantage, as it Is very easily got
out. About u hundred tons of it
can be taken out at little cost, aud
works $170 per ton: VIM. McFar-
lane and J. II. McGinty came in
on Wednesday and brought two
bars Of bullion with them.
Arrangements will soon be com.
pleted tOtake out ore at the King
mine, Calico, on . large scale.
The car track is all laid, and
the new car and the whole appa-
rstus works well. They are drift
ing both ways from the tunnel
that crosses the ledge, and also ex.
tending the tunnel. They expect
alse to sink q shaft and drift from
that. They have contracted to
have 200 tons of their ore worked
by the Oro Grands Milling Com
pany, and 200 tons to be worked by
Mr.. Somers as soon as his mill is
put up, which will be but short
time az he is at work at 1t now.
This amount, though q very small
portion OF what they have taken
out of the mine, will amount to no
small sum, the ore taken from the
mine is so rioh.-Nan BerY1ardin0
