A Californian Down East

Our genial townsmaD. Doctor Isaac
Fellows, has returned from visit Of sew
eral months to his old home in New Eng
land. While there he greatly enjoyed
the expressions of wonder which the peo-
pie made at his description of our great
zelda, orchards. vineyards, mines. grapes,
pears, plnms, etc. When he came TO
speak of the birds eggs in California that
weighed two pounds apiece. the staid
people of New Hampshire thought he
had forgotten his Sunday School train
ing, but when he opened his trunk and
took out an ostrich egg that tipped the
beam at three pounds, their wonder
changed to astonishment, and they hum
bled themselves for dishslieving the
truth, and longed for sight Of the hens
that laid such robust fruit. After that
it was essy for them to believe Colonel
Howland's story. about the redwood
trees, before he sold electricity. fs Y
1t appears the Colonel was driving
some cattle ninong the big trees Of Cali
fornia. when ha came to swollen
stream that was not safe TO ford. On
looking down stream he found giant
redwood that had been broken off by q
mountain gale and fallen across the
stream This he examined and found It
to be hollow. 50 he rode his horse
through the tree and found q
good landing on the other side.
He then returned and drove The cattle
through, when he counted and found
six young steers missing. In going back
to look for the missing animals, he heard
. noise in the tree. and. looking into q
hollow limb. found his six steers, enjoy
\ ing the shade in the hollow limb. He
then explained to the people Of the Old
Granite State. that the redwoods were
90 tall that it required two per-
sons to look to the top of them; the
first person looking half way up. and
the second beginning where the first left
off, and looking up the rest Of the height
| of the tree. 1t is needless to say, that
4 the stories have no moral in them to
| uunf1el about

A Necessary Change Required


Mr.. e. +. Hurlbut. OF Chicago, with
his wife and daughter, have returned to
their elegant mansion at Pasadena 10
spend the winter. They came by the
way Of the Needles and Mojave, and
were greatly discomfitea at the lack Of
accommodations for Passengers at that
place. 1t appears that the trains from
the east arrive at Mojave about ten
o'clock at night. to connect with the
north bound train from Los Angeles to
San Francisco. and the frst.class car is
sent on to San Francisco, leaving the
passengers to wait without car till
three o'clock In the morning, when they
must take their chances of getting
berth in the train coming to Los Angeles
from San Francisco. He expresses the
opinion that il the railway company
would have a car for Los Angeles sta
toned at Daggett, SO that passengers
could change cars by daylight and remain
in the car while waiting at Mojsve. that
thsp travel Of the road wonld be greatly
iuoreased on that ronte. At present
Tiers IS detention Of six hours, both
wsys. al the Mojave station, place not
noted for ample accommodations TO the
travelling public, and a locality where
nature raises breeze quite frequently.
This detention is so unpleasant that q
large travel from Calico and the Mojave
valley comes by team through the Caion
Pass to San Bernardino and Cotton
rather than endure this delay at Mojave.
which comes on both trains in the mid
die Of the night. at the most unseasona-
BILE hours in all the day. Such state
of things only retards business, and if
changed 20 that close connection could
be made at Mojave there is no doubt but
that the business Of the railway would
Be largely promoted. We trust that
the railway officials will take the subject
under sserions consideration, aud so
change The time Of trains that Los
Angeles will have close connection with
the great mining region beyond the
mountains, and the Atlantic States.

The Petroleum. Business.

The Petroleum Business.
= lsfHANt = ---1sa a4Ms W.
There were seyentesn, barrels of petro-
leum hauled itito town yesterday from
the Puents for Mr.. r. 8. Eaton. at the
Office Of the City Water Company. This
oil is from two shallow wells, once only
sixty-two feet deep and caved in for lack
Of casing, and one . little deeper with
the boring tools stuck last in it. These
cheaply made wells are being pumped
BY an engine that i used to sink anoth-
er we'll. which already has oilia it. but
the proprietors are determined to 20
deeper to get lighter oil and more of il.
The oil from the shallow wells Is heavy
lubricating oil, that is in constant de-
mand, far beyoad the supply. The res
ervoir Of lighter oil is supposed to be Of
vaster extent and deeper down, but the
heavy oil IN the shallow wells is very
profitable, and should induce the max
ing of more and larger wells for this
especial kind OF oil.
As an hinstapcs sof the great change
tat has come over The pnblic mind in
regard to the Puente lands. it may be
stated that tho 500 acres Of land on
which these wells are located was valued
two years ago at about s5 per acre, being
only, adapted to pasturage, msking the
whole value Of the tract $4,000. Yestsr-
day the owner refused an offer of s50, 900
for the same land of hills and dales.
1t is evident that the parties wishing
to buy had been reading the HERALD.
and had learned of the vast possibilities
Of the tract with lis grass. asphaitum,
oil aud prespsetive coal minss. That is
a good indication of the way the world
moves in the county Of Los Angeles. A
lot Of casing tubes went Ont Yesterday
for deepening the we'll at Puente, and
slsoal lot of tubing for the Chandler 4
Bower well, which is being deepened, at
the new settlement Of Petrolia. Mr..
Snow. at the same. place, yesterday sent
new engine to drill deeper in his en-
couraging location. Good news every

ing field, where land has advanced one

waiting to 60 down for deep or flowing
wells, 1t Is evident that shallow wells
will be very profisable for the produeticu
of heavy oil alone. The new coal dis.
eoveriss in this section tend also to the
advancement Of the values Of real estate
