We take pleasurein calling the atten-
ton of those OF our readers who may
wish to acquire knowledge Of the
French language to the fact
that Professor Adams has opened
rooms for pupils in the Baker
block. The Professor is thoroughly
educated gentleman, and is competent
to impart that desideratum, the true
Parisian accent.

Los Angeles two years ago, but at pres

Two switch engines at the new depot,
one visiting all the lumber yards during
the day when the numerous trains are
not running, and also nearly all night,
many nights in the week, two crews be
| ing used, is a fair index Of the enormous
| freight business being transacted by our
merchants and shippers at present, re-
gardless Of that shipped by Wells, Far
| 60 q Co.
| The vegetable and fruit shipments
East by Wells, Fargo 4 Co.. which were
almost altogether, until few days since,
shipped by the Southern route, have not
only been divided about equally between
| the old and new routes, but have de-
creased in volume somewhat, as the
route via Mojave does not make close
connections with some Of the most i'm
portant points to which our products.

The San Diego county papers report
very fattering news from the Shenan-
doah and Banner mines, at and near the
Julian District, stating that their output
is satisfactory, even by the use of an
arastra The product Of the quartz
mills is stated to average about S75 to
| the ton OF ore, while the arastras will
turn out about $50 per ton, being less on
account of the waste. These valuable
mines are source of profit to their own
| ers.
The store Of MIR. Gallula, at the 0ro
| Graude Mill, was the scene of diaboli-
cal robbery last week. A gang Of rob-
bers entered the store in the night,
seized Mr.. Gallula. stuiiing rags in his
mouth to prevent him from giving an
alarm. They then held him while
accomplices took what money there was
in the store and left for parts unknown
Mr.. Gallula was badly used up. The
rascals have not yet been found. If the
miners find them they will not need
trial.
Anewway ofprospccting forplacer gold

SIX feet Of tubing is now in. The borer
goes down from two to three feet per
day, and for the past two weeks has
been cutting through beautiful bed Of
blue gravel, which contains some gold.
There are many indications that the bed
rock will show good pay and the best
miners who visit the shaft are highly
pleased with the character of the gravel

Judge Sepulveda, yesterday, was pre-
sented by Mr.. G. e. Huber with one of
the most beautiful bouquets, the lateness
Of the season and the fact that the flow
ers grew in the open air, being consid-
cred, that we have ever seen. 1t was
composed Of roses Of dozen different
varieties, OF the most delicate tints and
| fragrance, tuberoses and other bright
| tinted and sweet smelling flowers, the
names Of which we did not learn.
Taken as whole, we never saw q richer
blending Of harmonious colors. The
| flowers were grown in the gardens OF
Mrs. O. w. Childs and we are safe in
the assertion that their like cannot be
produced from an open air garden any
place on the continent, outside of South
ern California.
