More Mineral Wealth.

Another evidence Of the vast mineral
wealth Of tie country is afforded by a
discovery in Slower mountain Of tract
of about sixty-four acres Of what is
termed diamond lime, from the pecu-
liar diamond-like crystals that exist in
the rock. This kind of lime is very
rare. A specimen has been sent to the
State Geologist, Prof. Henry G. Hanks,
at San Francisco, and by him pronounced
superior to Others on account Of its pur-
ity and great specific gravity. At the
Mechanics Fair in San Francisco the
committee declared this lime superior to
any Of the sixty-three varieties shown,
and equal to the famous Dover Cliff
lime, in England, Of which only limit
ed amount can be produced. Professor
Hanks states that the diamond faces in
the Slower mountain lime at Cotton are
more pronounced and beautiful than
in that from Dover Cliff. In strength
and gravity the Cotton lime excelled all
others offered by ratio Of 2 to l. That
is a great showing for Southern Cali
fornia in this indispensable commodity,
and makes this section independent Of
Santa Cruz or any other lime-produoing
section. Another feature of Importance
is the fact that the homemade lime will
be furnished at two-thirds the cost of
foreign lime.
We learn that the kiln is now pro-
ducing fifty barrels per day. but new
and larger kiln viii be made at once, 90
that the production will be raised to 100
barrels per day. This establishment
will save 100000 to the people OF
Southern California annually in their
building operations.
Such mineral discoveries show the
great wealth Of this, the banner mineral
section of the Union.
While writing this we have before us
fine specimen of iron ore from small
mountain Of iron on the Moiave river,
and sample OF anthracite coal from
new mine in this county. These three
staples. lime, iron and coal, are enough
to make the country rich, and they are
only few OF our elements Of wealth.

The Steel Works.

Mr. w. H. Mintzer OF Cotton, was in
the city yesterday On business. He
feels sanguine that the great steel works
heretofore mentioned in the HERALD,
will be erected at Cotton, on the land
donated for that purpose. Tho plant
for the works has been already pur-
chased in San Francisco, and will be
shipped as soon as the location is deter
mined. The people Of Cotton have sub
scribed S25, 900 in aid Of the works, and
the Cotton Land 4 Water Company
have donated five acres Of land adjoin-
ing both lines Of railway. The location
is admirable. and the discovery of coal
25 miles east of Cotton will probably
settle the works at Cotton instead Of
San Diego, which has also donated a
liberal sum and lot of land. The
deepest pocket appears to be at Cotton,
and that factor will probably settle the
matter within week, at the latter
place.

The old Jewish doctors entertained
some queer notions in regard to finger
nails. A favorite theory was that
before Adams fall the bodies Of the
first parents were perfectly transparent,
and that the nails are the vestige left OF
mans estate in the Garden Of Eden.
Instances have been observed Of nails
growing on the stumrs of amputated
fingers, and when the coffin containing
the corpse of the great Napoleon was
opened long after his death at st. Helena
his toe-nails had grown clear through
his boots, and his hair stuck through the
chinks Of the coffin.

SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Eighteen Cars Dumped Into the
Santa Ana River Near Cotton
Two Tramps Killed and Two
Brakemen Seriously Injured.

About 10 o'clock last night the fast
freight train from New 0rleans fell
through the Santa Ana river bridge,
about one mile east Of Cotton. The
locomotive aud eighteen ears were
dumped into the river Two tramps
who were stealing ride, were
killed aud two brakesmen, named Crank
and Clehills, were seriously injured. A
wrecking train was sent out from this
city at Il;30. Six hundred feet of the
bridge were demolished. Up to the
hour Of going to press no further partic-
ulats were received.

the homesteads are so taken up that the
residences OF the homesteaders are

farms are mere strips of land from $50

How Tucson Treats Tramps.

Several days ago gang Of profss.

doing" it in genuine tramp style. They
were dirty, ragged. lazy set, and were
continually asking those whom they met

thing to cat They were all young.
stout and hearty men. but they scorned
the man who offered them work, and
Chief Buttner soon discovered that their
presence was nat necessary to the well
fare OF the town. He gave the police in
struotions to commence pulling" and
by Sunday night they had corralled tif-

A subterranean Stream.

Jack Baysley has completed well for
the Electric Light company on Alameda
street that will furnish twelve times the
water needed for the engines of that
company. The well is 3x4 feet, and 35
feet deep, resting on bedrock. A five
inch Gregory pump that threw 60, 900
gallons per day was tried on the water
struck in this well, and failed to exhaust
it. As the company needs only 5000
gallons per day. supply Of 10000 gall
Ions is good thing, with surplus that
could be used on the neighboring gar
dens. The top Of this bed is said to be
below the bed of the river at the Also
street bridge. There appears to be q
strong stream of subterranean water
under Alameda street, that can be
turned to valuable account in the vari-
Gus manufactures along this thorough
fare. Parties who may attempt to put
down wells in this locality should make
them very large, in order to have room
to handle the large and numerous
boulders which there abound.

Our Oil Interest.


Tho Santa Barbara Pres thus speaks
of the oil interest of our State and
Coast:
Two vessels are now fitting up with
iron tanks in their holds 10 convey pc.
troleum in bulk from San Buenaventura
to San francisco. An immense iron
tank has been constructed near the " harf
at San Buenaventura, and pipe line is
nearly completed from this tank TO Santa
Paula cafion, near the rancho OF San
Ceyetano, where a well already produces
some twenty-five barre of oil per day.
The average of all the wells sunk in the
Pennsylvania oil region is only ABOUT ten
barrels day. Some, of course, give
hundreds of barrels, bat these are
rare. We speak of the average
Of the production, taking all the
wells together. 1t is known that
the petroleum field on this coast is
many. times as large as the Pennsylvania
field, and there is no reason why it
should not be developed and made to
yield all the oil that is needed on this
coast and TO supply the Sandwich
Islands, Mexico and the west coast OF
South America. Local capitalists have
not been bold enough to invest any con-
siderable amount in sinking wells in the
petroleum belt, but Eastern men, with
more enterprise, experience and skill,
have recently turned their attention to
these promising oil regions, and are
meeting with merited success.
Twenty oil-borers from Pennsylva-
mia have just gone into Ven-
tura county, and 80 more ara on the
way thither. Ample funds are ready
for oil investment by Eastern people,
who have made locations of oil lands
under the United States laws. One
company has bought, for 100000, the
oil right in the lands OF the ex-Missien
Of San Buenaventura,a and will thorough
ly develop it. The benefits which will
accrue to this southern portion of the
State from the development OF its won
derful petroleum resources, are mani
fold and enormous. They must far
exceed the value Of all the gold produc-
tion in the northern portion of the State,
the chief manufactures of the Coast,
and also lead to the growth of foreign
commerce.

It Does Not Pay.

Experiments in cotton growing which
have been made in the southern part OF
this State during the past few years
demonstrated that California has as good
a right to claim place among the cot
ton States as any other state in the
Union. In Kern county Messrs. Hag-
gin and Carr this year planted one hum
dred acres in cotton, aud have gathered
i've hundred pounds, or one bale, per
acre. The cotton was OF the best
quality and sold for IL cents per pound.
The crop realized about $1,000. But it
has also been demonstrated that cotton
culture cannot be profitable in this State
as long as labor Is as high as it is at
the present time. Cinnamon have been
employed to do the picking, but with
high wages they pick only sixty pounds
per day, while the inexperienced colored
pickers in the Southern States pick
from 200 to 250 pounds. The greater
expense in the items of labor and GIN
ming tell against the State as compared
with the cotton States to tho extent OF
fully $40 per acre. However, the ex-
pertinent will not be abandoned, and an
effort is being made TO import cheap and
desirable labor. Mi. Haggin has an
agent in Sweden In search Of 100 good
laborers for his plantation, and next
year he hopes to make better showing.
He says that at the present price OF
labor it would pay him better to put the
100 acres in grass. An experiment will
also be made by Messrs. Haggin and
Carr with the sugar cane during the
coming year. ar.-Alta.
