HAWKS NEST COKE OvENs.-On January
2Sth, quite a crowd was attracted to witness
the discharge of the first coke made in the
new coke ovens Of the Hawks Nest Coal Co.
These ovens were made in England, and were
put up entirely by English and Welshmen sent
here to do the work. They are in a
row consisting of 100 or more. The cars are
run on the top and coal dumped in the ovens.
There is a door on either side and when the
coal is made into coke there is sham ram
that runs on a track on one side and is
placed opposite the oven door, and the whole
of the coal is pushed out on a level yard in
a solid mass There the mass is broken apart
and water thrown ON to cool it Off. The coke
is then carried to the hydraulic elevator about
90 feet from the oven, when it is raised to
platform about 10 feet high; then the coke
cars are run along side of this platform and
the coke showed into them ready to be taken
to Goshen formelting ores in the New Vic
toria furnace Mr.. S. M. Taylor, of the city
of Richmond, is superintendent Of this Coal
company having been recently elected upon
Mr.. Pages resigning the position. Mr.. G.
Bargamin of Staunton, put IN the water pipes
and fixtures under the direction of Mr. c.
Moore Smith, the company engineer.

a Remarkable petrlflea Forest.

One Of the most remarkable petrihed
forests known, exists near Garlic, on
the Little Colorado river, near its source
in New Mexico. The signs of petrifac.
ton are stated to be seen several miles
before the most wonderful petrifed
forest is reached, being enclosed in a
seini-circular basin, bounded on all sides
by high banks OF shale and fine white
clay. From this locality, where the
petrifed trees are few and far between,
II takes about two hours good driving
to reach the heart of the boss forest.
The trip and the stone trees are both
stated to be wonderful, and doubtless
they are.
The petrified stumps, limbs, and, in
fact, whole trees, lie about on all sides,
the action of the waters for hundreds
of years having gradually washed away
the high hills roundabout, and the trees
that once covered the high table lands
now lie in the valley beneath. Immense
trunks, some Of which will measure over
five feet in diameter, are broken and
scattered over surface OF three hun
dred acres. Limbs and twigs cover the
sand in every direction and the visitor is
puzzled as to where he shall begin TO
gather the beautiful specimens that lie
within easy reach. There are numerous
blocks Of trunks Of this petrified wood
that has the appearance for all the world
of having been Just cut down by the
woodman's axe. Many of the small par
tieles and even the whole heart of some
trees have now become thoroughly
crystalized and the beautiful colored
cubes sparkle in the sunshine like so
many diamonds. Every color Of the
rainbow is duplicated in these crystals,
and those OF an amethyst color would
pass the eye OF novice for the real
stone. The grain of the wood is plainly
shown in nearly every specimeu-mak-
ing the pieces more beautiful than ever.
Picks and shovels were unnecessary in
the exploration. as thousands of
broken fragments can be gathered at q
short distance from the path, and the
sunlight striking upon the crystallized
particles points out their location to the
searchers for such valuable crystals.
They are already selling at a consider
able sum at Deming and Silver City,
near which the petrified forest is locat-
ed. The new narrow-gauge, already
completed from Deming to the city Of
silver, has been prominent factor in
opening up this wonderful country to
the tourist and the public.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-10-04
Silver Storage.

The great hue and cry about the lack
Of storage for silver in the United
States Treasury, is all b6sh of the most
foolish character. All the silver in the
national vaults at Washington could be
put in a space about the size of two
sleeping cars. A California horseman
would give the same amount of space to
a favorite stallion in his barn. If the
old imbecile who presides over the
Treasury Department would pay off the
pensions now due, in silver, he would
need no extra room to store it,. 1t is
time practical western man was placed
over the Treasury Department, and the
silver, which is only one-third OF what is
stored in the Bank of France, paid out
to the people, instead of gold. The
present Secretary of the Treasury is
constantly complaining that he must
have more room to store silver dollars,
or else stop the coinage of the same.
What he wants, is, to stop coinage and
ruin the silver market, in which we are
deeply interested in this part of the
country, and thus play into the
hands of the goldites of New York
and London. But the people will not
permit such course. As long as silver
is used as legal tender money they will
insist that it shall be coined, and in that
way keep up a market for silver bullion.
Besides, the government is making
large profit in buying bullion below par
and paying it out in silver dollars at par.
That is an easy way of paying off the
national debt. The Secretary is now
making 5000, 900 per annum out of the
people in buying and coming silver,
while he makes nothing in coming gold.
The discount on silver comes home to
our ci6zens. One company in this city
pays S6f, 600 to the government annu-
ally on this depreciation of silver, which
is kept up and aggravated by the action
of the Treasury Department. 1t is the
part of wisdom to abolish this grievous
discount. 1t is a matter in which every
business man of Los Angeles is interest
ed, and all should unite in getting this
grievous tax abolished, so that our
miners would not be handicapped by the
government which they support.

About 10000 acres OF irrigated land in
Tulare county has been subdivided into
small tracts for colony to be called
Traver. II will thus be seen that Tu-
lare is profiting by the example Of Los
Angeles and San Bernardino counties in
the formation OF colonies. 1t is the
true way to settle up our peculiar and
opulent land, and has met with great
success wherever it has been tried with
wisdom and energy.
John G. Bell & Co., elsewhere an
nounce that at II A. NJ, on Saturday
next. they will sell at their mart, on Los
Angeles street, the effects OF a rancher
closing out, consisting Of pair of fine
work horses, wagon. plows, harrows,
and other farming implements. Also
two fine graded COWS; one a Durham
Ayrshire, the other a Durham-Devon,
both good butter makers, and very kind

the advertisement.
Owing to the great atmospheric dis
turbances along the northern coast, the
sea has become very rough, even under
the sunny skies of San Pedro. Tuesday
was one OF the roughest seas ever seen
at that port. 1t is said that the old salts
who sailed up To Wilmington in the new
Government yawl had no desire to go
back by that conveyance, bat like vet
eran captains and sailors, which they
were, wisely took the cars back to San,
Pedro.
In the inscrutable ways that men
have of getting living, the dear people
are liable to have a new story paper
inflicted upon them called Swinton's
Story Teller What nextY The people
had an apparently bad enough infiiction
with Swinton's school books, that were
forced on to the suffering children of
Los Angeles, without the second inflie-
tion. Fortunately the paper will be
published in New York, 50 there can be
no law to force it on to the people of
California.
1t Is with deep regret that we an
nounce. the death of Mr.. I. c. Curtis,
which occurred at his home in Vernon
district yesterday. Deceased was a
native Of Mississippi, but resided in
Iowa for number of years before he
came to California. He settled first in
San Bernardino, we believe, but moved
thence to this county, OF which he has
been resident for the past ten or
twelve years. Mr.. Curtis was Demo.
crat Of the Jeffersonian school and for
several terms represented a strong Re-
publican district in the State Senate OF
Iowa. He was brotber-in-law Of Hon.
Wm. s. Holman, Member of Congress
from the Fourth Indiana district, and
entertained that gentleman during his
recent visit to Los Angeles. His funeral
will take place from the family resi-
dence in Vernon at II A. NJ. tomorrow.

beef, roast lamb. jellies. fruit, nuts,
cake OF all varieties, with tea, coffee and
other liquids too numerous to mention.
All the appointments of the tables were
new and genteel, aud the furniture fresh
and bright from the manufacturer.
The silver cornet band Of Perry Brothers
enlivened the building, while an
electric light within, and another with
out, made the scene brilliant in the ex-
treme.
The opening Of so large an establish
ment as that Of Eckert & Klaffki, is a
bold movement, and shows their conf
dence in the future of Los Angeles.
There is not so completely appointed an
establishment on the Pacific coast as this
the "Acme" Of Los Angeles, with its ice
house, cellar, kitchen, storeroom and
numerous private dining rooms An

nothing more to be needed to make it
the Delmonicos Of California. See the
announcement of the "Acme' in a

am little Baby Elephant, and my
name is Prince Siam, and my twin sister
is little Baby Elephant, too, and her
name is Princess Pearl. This is the first
time we ever came to California. We
think il is a beautiful country. We got
so exhilerated when we were crossing
the Sierra Nevada mountains, that put
lemon, little sugar, and some water
in my trunk, just before we left Truckee,
and when we arrived at the Summit
found that ice had formed in my trunk,
and my sister and myself enjoyed nice,
cool lemonade. remarked to her that
/ felt quite elevated, and she replied that
she had seen me drink half barrel Of
lemonade, but had never seen me so
high before. We would respectfully
say that we will be happy to tell you
the particulars of our wonderful trip
Wednesday afternoon and night, Oeto-
Der 10th, in Los Angeles. The best
time to visit with us will.be in the after
noon, for at night we get a little bit
tired. and say our prayers and go to bed
early. Princess Pearl says she will show
all the little children in Los Angeles if
they come to see her Wednesday after
noon, how she kneels down to pray"

The Acme Reached at Last.

The opening of the new and immense
establishment of Messrs. Eckert &
Klaffki, in Court street, last night, was
pronounced success. Their place of
business combines the largest restaurant
and saloon in the State Of California. A
crowd filed both stories all night, and
partook Of the luscious things provided
for the occasion. Some dined in the
large hall, where they could greet their
friends, while others. took tables in pri-
vate rooms, where they could enjoy the
good things of this world without dis
turbance by public attention. Every
thing was gotten up in the best Of
style, and it required about twenty
active men to wait on the throng
to supply them with fluids and solids.
The dinner spread in the main upper
parlor was gem in its way. The viands
were Of the choicest description and dis
played in the most artistic manner.
Among the substantial things were, roast
turkey, roast pig, roast duck, chicken
prepared in various ways, ham, roast
