freed by a Grizzly.

On Monday last, our well and favora-
bly, known friend, Mr.. G.. Washington
Buffer, while angling for speckled beau
ened beyond recognition by his most
intimate friends, by the sudden appear
ance of monster grizzly bear, which
made straight at him, and showed every
evidence Of longing for Canibal
feast. Bruin did not manifest the slight
est inclination to spare our friend, even
after George had tried to bluff her,
[Blufferl, by various gesticulations and
yells, calculated to rob her bearship of
her fondness for gentlemen out of town.
All attempts to frighten the brute away
proved vain, and every moment brought
her nearer, and showed the long, white
fangs and murderous claws, that would
speedily convert Washington into fish
bait assorted sizes, unless he found
some means of immediate escape. which
fortunately stood near him in the form
of tree, up which he climbed in less
time than it would require to see that he
was the worst scared man in Cal. He
realized that unless he succeeded in kill
ing or binding the bear with his six
shooter, the small tree that supported
him, would soon be torn from the
ground. After shooting five times with
out effect, he steadied his nerves with a
few whiffs from Tansill's Punch sc.
cigar, with which he was plentifully
supplied by Ball, at the P. o. Cigar Store,
and killed his prosecutor with his last
cartridge. jy3l-tf.

Excursionists.

The latest Phillips excursion from
Iowa and other points in the East, ar
rived in the city by "No. %" at 4;l5
o'clock yesterday morning, Los Angeles
being the terminus. One hundred and
eleven passengers were the sum total Of
the excursionists, twenty Of whom dis
embarked at Cotton for trip through
San Bernardino county, but VIII arrive
here day by day. Some of them got
here last night. and others will arrive to-
day. Mr.. G. h. McNelly and family
were among the excursionists, rcturn-
ing after a five weeks trip to the East.
Postmaster C. f. French. of Santa Ana,
accompanied by his family, was also
among the passengers. Everyone whom
il has been our fortune to meet. express
es him or herself as being much pleased
with the trip and the management.
One and all are delighted with the
country, and about nine-tenths Of them
will settle here. The time made from
Buffalo to Los Angeles was only seven

Los Angeles Mines.

A few weeks ago the HERALD con-
tanned notice Of the finding of some
valuable silver mines in the north part
of Los Angeles county by our we'll
known citizen and prospector, Mr.. j..
M. Pearson. Samples Of this ore were
exhibited at the HERALD office, and
attracted much attention at that time.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of seeing
an assay of one of the mines, that gave
sl65 per ton in silver and s55 in copper,
or $220 per ton, and from another Of
the mines an assay Of 800 in silver and
s4s in copper, making sl3s per ton, and
learned that the mines had been sold to
the owners of the Copper Queen mine in
Arizona, with the proviso that q 30-ton
smelter should be put up within ninety
days. These mines are in the north
part Of this county, in Silver Mountain
District, about twelve miles from Alpine
station on the Southern Pacific railroad,
and ninety-four miles from this city.
This camp will be new trading place
for the merchants of this city. Mr..
Pearson will probably superintend the
opening of these mines in a thorough
manner.

A Note OF waruine.


We republish the following from the
San BernAfdino Times, to put the house,
keepers Of Los Angeles on their guard
against being victimized by the party
described should she visit our City;
A girl of 10 or Is, calling herself Lottie
e. Bowman, and pretending to be in
search of work, has stolen money and
clothing from people in Riverside who
have given her food and shelter, and we
are requested 10 give information con-
cerning her to the people ON this side of
the valley She tells variety Of stories
about herself, but when put together
they prove her to be consummate liar
as well as thief. She excited the sus-
picions Of Mrs. Rerley, who gave her
lodgings, by stining about the room in
the night, and upon opening the door of
the room was found dressed in Mrs.
Rerley's clothing with the evident inten-
ton Of getting away with it. Twenty
six dollars in money had been taken
from the bureau drawer. She was
made to deliver up the property and al
lowed to depart. She told plaintive

Fabulous wealth.

A few months ago there was a wild
statement of fabulous wealth to be
found in gold nuggets and coarse gold
on the shore of the Gulf of California.
The expectations Of the Argonauts who
went from Southern California to that
gold field have not been fulfilled. Now,
coming on the top Of this gorgeous gold
story, comes another about the fabulous
discovery of pearls that has been made
in the Gulf of California. One has been
found that weighed seventy-five carats
and has been sold for sl4. 900. Another
weighing forty carats is held at
s., 900, and third has beeu found wcigh.
ing forty carats, for which $4,000 was
offered and declined.
While we do not doubt but that there
are pearl oysters in the Gulf of Califor-
mia, it is doubtful if any Californian
would get any if he should go there un-
less he purchased them. These great
pearls are very scarce, and do not come
at call. Besides. at the. present time
the yellow fever prevails along the shores
of the Gulf, and all prudent persons win
remain at home instead Of going off in a
wild race after wealth. Care must also
be taken to keep the fever off the cars
that run from the Gulf at Guaymas, to
connect with the Southern Pacific. 1t
seems good time to stay at home

Reception to a Pastor.

A pleasant reception was rendered last
evening to the new pastor of the Fort
street NJ. E. Church, Rev. B. F. Brasee,
late Of Council Bluffs, Iowa, whom it
was our pleasure to meet. This gentle
man is a person of fine physique, and
scholarly attainments of high char
acter. The reception was well attended,
not only by the members of the church
society, but by friends Of the church and
the new pastor. We noticed the fol-
lowing gentlemen present: Rev. B. F.
Brasee, Rev. E. s. Chase, Hon. G.
Wiley Wells. Judge R. NJ. Widney, DIR.
J. P. Widney, Judge J. A. Fisher and
Messrs. N. s. Averill, J. P. Early. g. H.
Bradley, M. Dodsworth. George
Baker and J. II. Seymour,
besides many lady friends, whose pres
ence added much to the attraction of
the reception. The reception committee
was constituted as follows: Rev. E. s.
Chase, Hon. G. Wiley Wells and Messrs.
G. H. Bradley and N. s. Averill; also
Mesdames J. H. Book, N. s. Averill and
J. H. Seymour and Miss Emma Bradley.
Rarely has social entertainment at any
church in this city been more enjoyable
than that Of last evening. A reception
will also be given by Rev. II. $. Chase,
Of Asbury M. Il. Church, on Friday
evening, at his new parsonage, so gem
erously donated to the church by Mr..
and Mrs. Beach, as heretofore men,
toned in the HERALD. IL will be an
enjoyable social love feast.

Yesterday evening horse attached to
a buggy, containing two women and a
child, while passing along First street
became frightened at the falling of a
plank from new building Just being
completed and started on a furious run.
A gentleman from the Laguna Rancho,
Mr.. Claud Wright, saw the deadly peril
of the women and child and caught
hold Of the horse at the risk of his life.
The animal in fierce struggle with Mr..
Wright fell on that gentleman and
broke the bones of one of his wrists. II
also broke one of the shafts of the bug.
gy. There was no other damage to any
one. DR.. Hannon set the bones all in
shape, and Mr.. Wright in few weeks
will be ready to perform other brave and
daring deeds.

Care of the Eyesieht.

Out of fifty thousand school children
examined in Germany lately by an Of
fetal commission, thirty thousand were
found to be suffering from defective Wis
ion, the proportion in some Universities
being as high as eighty per cent. In the
gymnasium at Heidelberg every pupil
was more or less affected. The cause is
stated to be badly lighted rooms and the
German style of penmanship. Although
Germany is in the lead in educational
facilities, the statistics for the United
States show less than fifteen per cent. of
the disease mentioned California, and
especially the southern part, is free from
trouble with defective vision among
scholars, the percentage being scarcely
more than five per cent. The reason is
probably the fact that our buildings de-
voted to education are not ancient, but
are built upon the most improved style,
and with excellent optical properties.
In this we excel.

How Sewers are Made.

An examination of the water that
bubbles up in the cellar of the Laronde
building, on the corner of Spring and
First streets, reveals the fact that
instead of being Spring water, as was at
first supposed. it is pestilential sewer
water OF the vilest kind.
Now where does it come from? What
sewer has a leaky joint? Is it the
Spring street sewer, or some other, from
which it comes The basement of this
building has been abandoned because
the water is now six inches deep in that
place, and full Of rottenness. Some
body is responsible to Mr.. Larronde for
this irruption of vile water. Other par
ties on Spring street, who have or may
have cellars, are likely to be flooded in
the same way. These leaks must be
discovered and stopped. The loss of
basement rent is heavy item to the
owner Of the building; and, in addition
to that, one of the tenants in the upper
story informed q reporter of the HERALD
that he was made sick from the deadly
vapor from this water, and had removed
from the neighborhood.
With these facts before the people, it
seems the proper thing for the Board of
Health to look into the matter and
abate the nuisance at once. There
should be no delay in the matter.
Every day pestilence is enge ndered
by this dreadful pool of filth. VIII the
Board of Health visit the place and see
that the nuisance is abated. by finding
the leak and stopping n, or will they
plunge the city into lawsuit with dam.
ages for innocent taxpayers to pay!
The matter is a serious one, and must
be met in prompt just and intelligent
manner.

whale Fishing.

Mr.. Peter Warner Of this city had a
lively experience at Willmore City last
week, shooting whales at the mouth of
the Slough. Mr.. Warner saw three
young whales little distance out at sea,
and with boat and rife rowed out to
battle. At the first fire one of the
whales was wounded, and dashed
towards the boat, coming to the surface
alongside the little craft, when Mr.. w.
shot the monster in the neck and killed
him. The other two whales came to see
their companion, and sailed around him
in apparent wonder, till Mr.. Warner
shot and killed the second one, when
the third whale mede bee line for the
open sea and disappeared in the dis
tance. The two dead animals drifted
ashore. when the Wilmington fishermen
took charge of them and made several
barrels of excellent oil from their blub-
Der. These whales were of the bottle
head species, and about twelve feet in

The New Iron Mines.

The leading papers of the State make
copious extracts from the HERALD on
mining matters in this part Of the coun-
try. This is a sign Of the recognition,
at last, of the vast mining interests that
are being developed in the Southern
counties. The notice OF the discovery
of large iron minc by citizen of Los
Angeles, first published in the DAILY
HERALD, has been copied far and wide,
and has attracted great attention from
iron and steel manufacturers. And well
it may, for it is vast addition to the
prosperity of our local manufacturers,
as it will give them cheap iron and steel
in abundance.
An assay of the ore from this mine,
made at the State University, showed
S9.5 per cent Of magnetic iron, or 64.s3
per cent Of what is termed metal iron"
Another assay, which was made in
San Francisco, showed 6S per cent
of metal iron." This remarkable de-
posit is only about twenty miles from the
Southern Pacific Railroad at Cotton,
east of the city of Los Angeles, or about
thirty-five miles from the same railroad
at Alpine Station, on the north, from
which place it is an easy grade to this
mountain of iron. By the eastern route
the mine is about eighty miles from Los
Angeles, and by the northern route about
III miles. This discovery, with that of
our heavy petroleum oil to use in smelt-
ing the ore, ought to make of this city q
great iron and steel manufacturing CEN
ter, and we trust it will. Mr.. p. F.
Brown, the discoverer and proprietor of
the mine, is determined to have it open
ed upin fine style, and add to the wealth
of the country as much as lies in his
power. Our contemporaries can always
look in the HERALD for the latest min
ing intelligence Of all kinds.
