Mining News

Mr.. Diedrich Bahton has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the King
mine, at Calico, in place of Mr.. Barber,
who is taking a rest Mr.. Barber has
been very faithful official, and retires
with honors, to be succeeded by min
ing expert well known in this city and
whose reputation is first class. Few
people are aware OF the constant and
terrible strain which rests upon min
ing superintendent in opening new
mine. They are to be everywhere pres
ent to see that the mines are working in
ore in opening the levels and crosseuts.
Then an assay has to be made about
twenty times q day to determine the
condition of the mine, or as physicians
would say, to feel its pulse and deter
mine its daily condition. Such posi-
ton is one of extreme and great respon-
sibility, and the highest type of intelli-
gence is required. The King mine has
been very fortunate in its management
SO far and is looked upon by mining
men with admiration. We hope Los
Angeles may have many other mines as
profitable as this has proved to be A
report was current on the street last
week that there had been bad cave in
this mine, and several parties had been
injured. but the president, Colonel
Markham. yesterday received letter
from the superintendent, dated Saturday
October Goth, which said nothing about
the matter, which leads to the conclu-
sion that the item wa a cauard.

pleasant surprlse party.


A grand time was had at Wilmington
last Saturday night, the occasion being
a surprise party rendered to Master Ma,
than Jacoby, by the Misses Banning,
Laubeusheimer, and his other numerous
Wilmington friends. The affair was a
complete surprise to the recipient, the
arrangements having been made with
great secrecy. AT s o'clock the guests
arrived, when the door, of the Jacoby
House were thrown open to the young
folks, who took the benefit of the oppor'
tunity to do as they pleased with the
premises. Games, music aud dancing
ruled the hour until refreshments were
announced. They were partaken Of with
gusto that proved they were not the
least among the enjoyments Of the even
ing. At IL o'clock the little people dis
banded. we'll pleased with their even
ing's entertainment,

Prof Fuhrburs's Benefit


The beuefit rendered to Prof Andrew
Fuhrburg, teacher Of gymnastics of the
Turn Verein. took place on Sunday
evening, as announced, and was grand
success, netting to the beneficiary nearly
$500.
An overture by Wangemans Band
was the first number on the programme,
followed by the exercises on the horizon
tai bar by the first class, consisting of
Messrs. Fuhrburr, Schroeder, Eu sbscb,
Haszenthal, Ruf and Stepp. This per-
formance was SO meritorious that it was
encored by the large audience. Next
followed the Reigen dance, by
eight boys and eight girls. being
similar to the maypole dance. In re-
sponse to an encore, tableau was CIV
en-. A song by twelve members Of the
singing section, led by H. Wangeman,
was finely rendered, as usual. The In
dian club swinging by Prof Fuhrburg
was so excellently done as to elicit an
encore, which was responded to. His
feats were very difficult. A song we'll
rendered by. C. Behr and C. Ruthard,
also received an encore. The pyramids
and groupings on two parallel bars by
the members of the verein showed their
thorough training, and as an encore, a
tableau of difficult grouping was shown.
Aa overture commenced the second
part, after which the girls class exercised
on the seesaw, very well. The high
jumping and hopping contest followed,
the jumping being excellent and the
hopping very funny. The singing Sec
tion next sang one of their beautiful
part songs, which was applauded- The
tumbling act, which was next, was par
ticipated in by four members, and was
followed as an encore by the Monkey
Match" by Prof. Fuhrburg, and Messrs.
Curl and Wood. The fencing between
Messrs. Fuhrburg and Steinike was very
well done, and an encore was granted.
a grand tableaux of pyramids by the
members of the Verein completed the
programme, and the chairs were re-
moved for the dance, which consisted Of
fourteen numbers. Charles Meier and
August Steinike were floor managers
The committee of arrangements consist
ed of Messrs. ]. Kuhrts, A. Haniman,
J. Huebsch, c. Stepp and A. Fuhrburg.
The entire affair was Of the most enjoy
able character, and will be long remem-
bered by the participants.

Water From Tunnels .

The tunnel which Messrs. Hammel &
Denker are making in Coldwater Canon,
described in the HERALD of the 18th,
has struck another heavy vein of water,
which has more than doubled the former
flow. 1t is expected that inthe distar CO
of 100 feet further another fine vein will
be struck, when they will have good
mountain stream of water 800 feet high
er than the city OF Los Angeles and 400
feel above their rich plains below. This
water will be placed in reservoirs and
carried to the Sulphur Springs Hotel be-
low, where another tunnel will be run to
open the sulphur springs that now waste
their few among the reeds and rushes.
Judge B. s. Eaton, Of Pasadena, is di-
recting the construction of a tunnel in
the San Gabriel Canon, with Fred 5.
Eaton, Superintendent of the City
Water Company, as engineer of the en-
terprise. This tunnel, four by six feet,
is gaily going along in rather incom-
plete granite, through headland, and
will soon strike bedrock, about thirty
five feet beneath the bed of the river.
1t is supposed that at this point copi-
Gus flow of water will be secured. This
will furnish the people of the Azusa
vast water supply, that has heretofore
run to waste. This will be fine thing
for that excellent piece of land known
all over the country as the Azusa.
Mr.. James Noel has returned from the
tunnel which he is making near Etiwan-
da and reports good stream OF water
already secured, after cutting and tun-
neling about 65 feet. He win go on with
the work till he gets what he wants of
the precious fluid.
The Chaffey Brothers are pushing
| their Ontario tunnel into the mountains,
and intend to carry it to the distance Of
| 1000 feet.

Copper Still on Top.

Another valuable use for copper, as
stated by scientific paper, is its use as
an alloy in the manufacture of white
metal" in place Of nickel, which is
scarce and expensive. Sixty parts Of
ferro-manganese and forty of copper,
properly fuxed, compose the new metal,
which is both strong and ductile, and
possesses such tenaeity that it surpasses
the best armor plates, the melted metal
being cast in blocks, and when perfectly
malleable, rolled into white metal sheets.
Many valuable modes of utilizing cop
per, which is so abundant in its crude
state in Southern California and Ari-
zona, have been frequently outlined in
the HERALD, but it seems as if new and
startling methods of working this valua-
BILE prodnct are discovered daily. The
one mentioned in this article may prove
very profitable, and ought to be tried
by some of our enterprising copper pro-
ducers.

The Fig Business.
[Downey signal.l

tDowney Signal
One of the rising industries of this
section is fig culture. Until recently
figs were drug on the market. as there
was but limited demand for that fruit
But this season the canneries have been
purchasing all they could at paying
prices. Our neighbor, James Steward
owns an acre planted to fig trees which
he had been thinking seriously of dig
ging up, as they had proved improbable,
but, as good luck would have it, be did
not do so, and the. result is that this
season he has sold $500 worth of ig'
from that one acre and there is still Sl0t
worth of fruit on the trees. Our friend
has decidedly changed his mind concern
ing the fig business.
Mr.. Hutchings, who own, a small
farm in the suburbs of our town, ha:
had like satisfactory results from the
few fig trees on his place. From five
trees he has sold this season S35 worth
of figs. At that rate an acre Of fg'
would yield about s7O0. Los Angeles
county is still in her infancy SO far a;
the development of her resources are
concerned. Every season dozen OIL
more paying enterprises are developed
In few short years our county will bt
known far and wide as the banner
county Of the State and the garden spot
OF the world.

A Bad Fire.

Gu Sunday last, Mr.. j. o. Perkins
and family left their home on the
Ranchito to make social visit to El
Monte. About an hour or more after
they left home their house was discov-
cred to be on fire. and in few minutes
was totally consumed, with all its con-
tents, on which the insurance policy
had expired few days before, and had
not been renewed. The loss by Mr..
Perkins cannot be less than $1,000.
Another instructive lesson Of this fire is
to agents who leave musical instruments
at houses in the country without an
insurance ON the same. 1t is said that a
Los Angeles musical instrument house
left parlor organ for trial at Mr.. Per.
kins' residence a few days before the
fire and had no insurance on the instru.
ment. The moral of this disastrous
story is perfect god-send to the insur.
ance men, and they will apply the same
with reason and good sense as soon Fas
they read the HERALD this morning,
