Bullion Yield.

Lieutenant Governor Daggett arrived
in the city yesterday from his mines, on
flying visit to his family in this city.
He will return this evening to Daggett
Station to Complete some changes in his
quartz mill Col. II. II. Markham will
also go over to the mines with Gov. Dag
gett. The latter gentleman states that
there was AN error in report in the
Calico Print. that he said the county of
San Bernardino produced in the past
month $500, 900, greater than the yield
reported from the State of Nevada for
the same time. A rapid reading would
convey the idea that he stated that the
county produced S300,00 more than
Nevada, while he intended to be under.
stood as stating that the product of San
Bernardino for August was over $780,
900, which vas larger amount than
was reported for the whole State of
Nevada during that time. The honora.
BILE gentleman's estimate is below the
mark when the bullion that is made in
San Francisco from the ore sent there
from that county is added to the yield
of the mills Of the county. The in
creased richness of the mines shows that
the estimates published in the HERALD
only few weeks ago were too low.
They were made up with care at the
time and fouaded on the yield of the
mills in July, but the mills have since
increased their product about 25 per
cent. This is much more pleasant than
to be obliged to subtract from what was
found to be an over estimate. The
readers of the HERALD will be kept ad-
vised of every source of revenue that the
country affords.

Look Out for storms.

The long and continuous heated term
that has prevailed for the past two weeks
has caused the most intense evaporation
of moisture on land and sea, and elc-
valed into the atmosphere an amount of
water that would tire arithmetic to COM
pute. The quantity Of water that has
been lifted into the air and swept over
the land by the soft trade wind is so
large as to be dangerous. When it
reaches the interior, among the forests
and snow-crowned mountains, and cool
currents of air, the condensation will be
rapid and the precipitation dangerous
and terrible. Fearful storms have
already prevailed in the mountains of
California, and in various parts Of all
the Territories and States east of this
meridian as far as the Mississippi river.
During all of yesterday the air was so
charged with vapor that the sunlight
was greatly and sensibly dimmed. The
mir was oppressive as Is the case OH tho
other side of the mountains when
great storm is approaching. The ther.
mometer did not indicate high point Of
temperature, but there was an after.
dinner lassitude in the air very unlike
the energizing atmosphere of California
that usually sustains vigor in the hottest
weather. AT this writing II is quite
likely that great storm is prevailing in
our transmontane country. The evap-
Grafton in Soathern India, where the
weather is like this heated term, is one
half an inch in depth per day, which
would indicate that ut least seven inches
in depth Of the Pacific ocean had been
lifted into the atmosphere during the
last two weeks, and are waiting the
proper influences to fall to the earth.

Los Angeles as it is.

The Santa Barbara Daily Independent
pays the following handsome tribute to
our city:
A visit to Los Angeles to be fully ap-
preciated, should be made by way Of
the sea. The steamships Of the p. G. s.
s. Company are timed so conveniently
that the passengers up or down the
coast are afforded an opportunity OF
spending several hours III the city Of
orange groves and pleasant perfumes.
A brief run of twenty-four miles by rail
from San Pedro and we are meandering
through the evergreen foliage of the
citrus fruit orchards, or gliding through
. sea-like expanse of the bright green
leaves of the generous vine. At this
season Of the year, while the grapes are
ripe and oranges and lemons bend down
the boughs of stalwart trees, the visit is
made doubly attractive. Los Angeles
has always borne the well deserved title
OF the handsomest city in California,
now il can justly lay claim to being the
most delightful city in America. The
magnificent improvements which have
been made during the past twelve
months have completely divested it of
all of its former provincial or village
characteristics. Its level streets, its new
street railways, its sixteen artistically
built churches, its Normal and other
public schools, its entcrprising and well
edited newspapers. these combined with
the town site Of the City of the
Angels" renders it beyond all eompari-
son the handsomest city on the coast.
Now that it has been illuminated by
electric lights and gridironed by rail
roads it is in every way metropolitan
city.

Mr.. X. C. MCPHERSON, the veteran oil
well maker, who has made more good
oil wells in California than any other
man, arrived yesterday from Santa Cruz
where he is directing the sinking of oil
wells continually. He has natural
aptitude for locating oil wells, and when
be goes for oil he gets il every time. The
great wells at Newhall, which he sunk,
are monuments of his Judgement and
skill in most difficult branch Of bnsi-

broken that the best talent is required
in sinking and casing wells that are
nearly two thousand feet deep. MIR.
