BIISREADING.

The HERALD's esteemed friend
and correspondent, II. D. j., writes
all the way from Washington terri
| tory to find fault with this journal
in its position as to thestnke of tel
egraphers. Unfortunately for Mr.
Johnson, if it is an argument that
he wants to engage in, he has gone
IS the wrong place, for the HERALD
comes very close to agreeing with
him, hence there is little or no room
for dispute. From the first the
HERALD has been frank anG out
spoken in its sympathy with the
strikers. This sympathy is aroused
partly from the fact that the oper-
atOrs are not we'll paid for their
labor, and partly from a wish to see
the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany disgOrge some of its ill-gotten
gains. The company has robbed
the people from the beginning. 1t
has bought or crushed all opposition
and having a clear field, de-
liberately and impudently fieeced
ths public to the extent
of millions of dollars annually.
Some corporations have "soul8," but
if the Western Union possesses any
such thing, nobody has ever been
able to discover the fact. Ii is a
significant circumstance that not an
influential newspaper in the coun-
try that dares speak freely but ex-
presses the hope that the company
will be beaten in this struggle with
the strikers. We only wish the
latter were more powerful, that they
might succeed il what they have
undertaken, and thereby compel
justice in one instance from the
thieving monopoly that defe3 law
and public sentiment, impudently
swapping its fingers at those who
complain, saying in the language
of another notorious thief, "What
are you going to do about it,"
H. D. J. has mis- read and
misinterpreted the HERALD.
This paper has always been
the friend to the workingman.
at the same time it cannot close its
eyes to the fact that in nine cases
out of ten strikes are senseless an
dertakings. working to the injury of
the strikers rather than bene6ting
the men. Furthermore, it cannot
applaud wrOng-doing OF the employ
ment of illegal means for the ac-
complishment of good results. It
also recognizes that employers as
well as employees have rights. It
is senseless for men to get mad and
quit work when they can accomplish
nothing by that course, except to
throw themselves out of work, and
thereby cut off their means of sub
sistenoe. Among the rights of the
employer is to get his work done as
cheaply as possible, and among the
rights of the laborer is to obtain as
much as he can for his labor; and
neither has the right to interfere
with the other in these particular
respects. For instance, John Jones
who demands So day for his labor
has no right to use force to prevent
John Smith working for $3.50; but
if Jones can persuade Smith by rea.
son and lawful argument, to stand
out for s., and the two can each OBJ
tain that sum. all well and good.
The HERALD is proud of its we'll
known and consistent position on
the questions that are constantly
arising in the disputes between the
laborer and the employer. If our
correspondent had read the HERALD
carefully he would never have gone
to the trouble of trying to arouse an
argument with it.

Piscatoriai Richness.

The attractions Of Los Angeles are SO
numerous and so various that it is moi
easy to mention all OF them unless al
very infrequent intervals. A most
remarkable attraction consists in the
enormous schools of mackerel that now
throng the waters at Santa Monica. On
Tuesday there was such rush of mack.
erel that Captain Fox caught two hun
bred and fifty pounds of that excellent
fish in an hour. He had four hooks on
line and drew in his fish by quarter.
Mons, but he denies that he caught
two fish on single hook at the sams
time.
Several parties were fishing on the
new wharf all day, and after supplying
the town with all the fish it could &c,
away with, the Captain said there was
at least ton Of fish left on the wharl
that nobody wanted, Such rare sport
was never before seen in Santa Monica,
and we only regret that the good people
of this city were not advised by tele
phone of this wonderful catch, so thai
the surplus ton Of this delicious fish
might have been on the breakfast table.
Of our citizens. In this hot weather
fresh mackerel are delicious.

A team from the Grand Central, while
passing an engine yesterday ct the New
Depot, had one Of the lines break, fore.
ing the driver to guide the team by the
remaining rein upon the porch Of the
Alameda Hotel. Fortunately no dam
age was done. A stranger, not know
ing the facts Of the case, might have
thought II was one Of the customs of a
booty driver, but the matter was an
accident, and a dangerous one, at that.
The passengers who arrived from San
Francisco by yesterdays train, which did
not get here until $3.50 P. NJ, seven hours
behind time, were treated to series Of
rnishaps on the way. The first was a
hot box shortly after leaving Oakland;
next an engine gave out, and on reach.
ing Tehaohepi they were detained
until 1880 A. NJ. by the accident
to the freight train, an account
of which is given in our kilograms.
As though their patience had not been
sufficiently tried, after leaving Teha-
chepi one Of the pusher engines, used in
going up the grade, gave out. causing
another detention. Added to all those
annoying mischanccs, the weary and
hungry passengers were compelled to
fast from supper time the previous even
ing until their arrival in this city. An
effort was made to get breakfast ct
Tehachepi, but without success as there
was not provisions enough ct the station
to feed them. 1t will long be remem-
bered as one of the most wearisome
trips ever made from San Francisco.

Yesterday afternoon, as one Of the
covered carriages of Nick Covarrub as
was starting from the Queen Boot and
Shoe store, on Main street, with Fred
Dell driving, and two Spanish ladies' and
little girl in the carriage. one of the
horses put his tail over the lines aud
commenced to kick, and plunged madly
across the street and through the dam
gerous gutter that disgraces the city,
between the Court House and the
corner Of the Lanfranco estate,
ovelturning the carriage and dashing
the occupants on the sidewalk. The
strong cover Of the carriage prevented
q fatal accident. As result, the top
was crushed in pieces, the wagon badly
broken, the driver, Fred Dell, badly
injured flor the second time) in the
spine. One Of the ladies was badly
bruised and the little girl badly cut in
the forehead. The names Of the ladies
we failed to obtain. Mr.. Dell, who was
injured in the spine, is seriously hurt,
and lies at his room, in the. Signoret
building. Why cannot this dangerous
gutter be covered?

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: The
growth Of Los Angeles in the last ten
years has changed it from an overgrown
country village to a city, not only with
regard to population, but as well, or
more, in relation to the character Of the
the people who live and do business
within its limits. BY far the larger
number of those who have come here to
live within the time named. are from

The Fire and Its Lessons

The fire in the Supreme Court Room,
mentioned in the HERALD yesterday,
proves to have started from closet
used for coal adjoining the consulta-
ton rooms of the court. Before the fire
the only articles in the room were two
brooms, some iron CRATES and little
coal. There was nothing that would
produce spontaneous combustion, SO the
conclusion is drawn that the fire was the
work Of an incendiary who set it for the
purpose Of robbery, when the jswelry
store and other stores beneath should
have their contents emptied into the
street but the scheme did not work, for
the merchants kept their stores locked
up, so that stealing was not accomplish
ed, if intended, as it undoubtedly was.
Gen. Roley who gave the alarm. prompt
ly rushed into the burning building and
awakened Mr.. J. T. Gaffey, the Deputy
Clerk Of the Supreme Court, who took
in the situation at once. and with a
right good will commenced carrying out
the transcripts and the books Of the Su-
preme Court. In this ariuous work,
through smoke and water, Mr.. Gsffey
succeeded in sa,llg nearly all the books
Of the court A copy Of the California
Codes and some old transcripts were de.
stroyed, and the carpets and furniture in
some of the rooms were ruined. Mr..
Leon, the tobacconist, who was directly
beneath the fire, was badly injured.
Mr.. Broderick, the agent Of the
North British and the German American
insurance companies, has appointed
appraisers, who will dec are the dam
ages sustained, when Immediate pay
ment will be made and the business car
ried on as usual. This is prompt and
commendable on the part of Mr.. Brod-
rick, who had $4,000 in risks on his
stock.
The other losses will be examined on
the return Of Mr.. Brodrick from San
Francisco The parties losing consist of
Nordlinger & Co., Polaski Bros, r. II.
Chapman, l. W. Hellman, and DR.. J.
Harmon. While the firemen did all
they could do, they labored under many
disadvantages. The hose of the Park
Hose Company burst twice. destroying
their usefulness. the telephone and tele-
graph wires rendered it almost imposs;-
BILE to set up ladders for reaching the
top of the building. Chief Engineer,
Walter 3. Moore, stumbled over one of
these wires, in mounting the building,
and came near falling on to the pave
ment. This experience of yesterday
shows that the wires Of our telegraph
and telephone must pipes under
ground. This is q necessity. Another
thing that the City Council should do
to morrow night, is to get new and
strong hose for Park Hose Company,
ana another thing is to get long and
strong ladders for the Hook and Ladder
Company and horse to draw the truck,
which should be larger than it now is.
Every year higher buildings are being
erected in Los Angeles, and stronger
hose and longer ladders are necessity.
Let these things be done, and well done,
at once.

Our New Dwellings

1t is almost impossible to keep an ade.
quate account of the immense number
of residences being erected in our midst,
Although the HERALD has published
such statements from time to time, each
new exploration proves equally astonish-
ing. Only twelve days since, the num-
Der of dwellings erected since July LIST,
1882, was given as 426, which was ap-
proximately correct. To-day, however,
the number can be increased by twenty.
seven, making the total Asa, and yet
this addition includes but small por-
ton of the city. The new buildings are
located as follows: Main street, three;
Olive street, three; Hill valley, two;
First street. three; east Of Alameda
street, eight--twenty-seven in all. The
boom is not on the wane, and Is not
likely to be.

Another Rich Discovery.

The HERALD has always championed
the resources of Southern California as
phenomenal in richness, and although
the developments have been slow, they
have nevertheless been sure. The min
eral discoveries that have appeared in
the HERALD are remarkable for their
great richness and the ease and facility
with which they have been utilized for
coin. The latest is the great discovery
of Mr.. J. NJ. Pearson, for the last ten
years a resident Of Los Angeles and a
well-known mining superintendent and
prospector for twenty years. 1t is but a
few weeks ago that the HERALD stated
that our barren deserts might PROVE to
be the most valuable portion Of our
State, and so it proves to be the fact
Mr.. Pearson has presented the HERALD
office with samples of his new discovery
in Los Angeles county, thirty miles east
Of Summit Station, on the s. P. r. r.,
at the head Of Dry Lake. He has there
found vein of metal-No. (which is
$500 feet in length, which begun at
IL inches in width at the surface and at
So feet in depth is as inches in width,
that assays 1888 in silver, s63.36 in
gold, 10 per cent. topper and SO per
cent lead, per ton. This he has hap.
PLY named the desert King"
Discovery No. 2, named "Ready
Cash." assays $3.50 per ton silver, one
vein being twenty -eight inches wide and
one forty-eight inches.
Discovery No. 8 is gold mine on the
line between Los Angeles and San Ber-
nardino counties, and assays 1915, at the
Orc Grande mill. This is named
Laura, and has vein 5000 feet long
and four feet wide.
Mr.. Pearson has re-disoovered the
famous ''lost Lee Mine" located by Mr..
Lee and abandoned by him twenty years
ago, when he is supposed to have been
killed by Indians. This is a rare de-
posit of chloride of silver that runs
s296 in silver and s5l in gold.
The various claims of Mr.. Pearson
and tive associates consist of the follow
ing mines: Glittering King. Little Belle,
Laura, Mountain Chief, Ready Cash,
Santiago, Dana, Erie, and Desert
King. Unless some of our capital
lists desire to unite with Mr.. Pearson
in setting up mill, he will proceed to
San Francisco and make arrangements
to commence milling the ore, of which
he has 200 tons on the dump. This new
find Of Mr.. Pearson is one of the most
remarkable ever shown in the State, and
is near the railway and accessible by
teams in four hours from Summit Sta
ton. Water can be found by digging to
depth Of four feet, so there is no OBJ
stacle against running a Steam quartz
mill at all times.
This new discovery is, we trust, des-
tined to make great trading camp for
the business men of Los Angeles, and we
hope some of them will supply the neces-
sary means to set up small mill and
secure the trade for this city, where. it
should he Ills pood time 10 wake nm
