A notice of the dissolution of the
firm of e. Meyer & Co., of the City of
Paris Store, will be found elsewhere,
Mr.. Eugene Meyer retiring. While the
genial presence of Mr.. Meyer will be
missed from his accustomed place in the
City Of Paris, all our citizens, especially
those who have been brought into close
social aud business relations with him
during his twenty-five years residence
in Los Angeles, cannot but wish
him success in whatever pursuit. lie
may hereafter embark. HIS successor,
Mr.. II. L. Stern, is gentleman of en-.
gaging manners and large business ex-
perience, and, we have no doubt, will
soon win q high place in the ranks of
our merchants. Messrs. Nathan Calm
and L. Loeb, of whom it is scarcely nec-
essary for us to speak in complimentary
terms, SO well are they known to our
people, are still members of the firm,
the former as resident partner at San
Francisco, and the latter at the store in
this city.

The Petroleum Boom.

The constant increase in the use of
petroleum makes the business of petro-
leum mining, both for light and heavy
oil, especially profitable. This is very
encouraging to all persons engaged in
boring for oil in this vicinity. Seven
teen years ago the price Of oil was so
low that it cost more for freight on a
barrel Of lubricating oil from the Ohio
river to Boston and New York than the
oil would sell for in those markets. As
consequence, the fine wells Of lubri-
eating oil were abandoned, and half the
persons engaged in the production Of
that kind of oil were ruined But
steadily the introduction of this most
valuable oil into the worlds machinery
as lubricator has gone forward, and
slowly but surely has it been introduced
as fuel, till now in the oil region along
the Ohis and the Little Kanawha,
where oil of % gravity could not be sold
for 81 barrel in 1866, it now readily
commands $50 a barrel, with large
demand. This great advance is just
what our oil men have needed, and they
are going to work in right good earnest.
A hundred wells will be sunk in Los
Angeles and Ventura counties during
the next twelve months, and there is
good demand for all the oil that they
can produce. and the price will be re-
warding. Our oil territory is great
bonanza, and Los Angeles is in the GEN.
ter Of this favored portion of the Pacific
Coast.
The Iron Age mine of magnetic iron
ore has been sold to company Of heavy
aud great steel works will be
erected, and the manufacture Of steel
direct from the ore will be carried on in
the course of few weeks. This new
and powerful corporation will be able to
furnish large demand for ourpetroleum,
and we hope that the wells will be put
down with all speed possible with safety,
so that the fuel will be ready for these
great works. People having oil terri
tory should see that it is developed, and
capitalists should assist with their means
the industrious adventures who are at
work in opening these rivers of oil, and
who need plenty of money for the pur-
chase Of engines. tubes and tools.

A Returned Missionary.

The HERALD acknowledges call from
Col. A. ". Miller, who has just re-
turned, accompanied by his wife, from O
visit of nearly two months duration to
the home of his birth and boyhood, in
Kentucky and Indiana. Mrs. Miller
also visited her childhood home in
Indiana, and returns in robust health
The Colonel was delegate from the G.
A. r. of the State of California to the
National Encampmeut of the G. A. r.
Of the United States, at Denver, Colo.
RADIO, where he had fine time. As he
is interested in gold and silver mining in
this part of the country, IL is needless to
say that he visited the great Mineral
Exposition Mt Denver, and examined
that great display of mineral wealth.
His visit to the great Louisville Exposi-
ton he describes as very pleasant, but
he did not find ii equal in some depart
ments to those held in California, more
especially in fruits both dry and fresh.
He found strong desire to obtain infor-
nation abont California, and especially of
Los Angeles, of which the people in
Indiana and Kentucky seemed to know
more about than they knew of other
portions of the State. Colonel M. as
tonished the people by his description of
our great grain farms and yields, and
the profit of the fruit aud vegetable bus
mess of this part of the State; but as he
was farmer and spoke from an expert
ence Of several years Of farming, they
had to accept his stories as authority.
He says that large number Of the peo-
pie whom he met are preparing to come
to California, on account of the terrible
storms that sweep away their harvest
and their hopes. He saw some Of those
violent storms of thundcr and lightning
that reminded him Of the battle of
Shiloh, and he is not hunting for any
more Shlohs, but returns with the opin-
ion that California is good enough for
him and his.

Mines and Newspapers.

No journal has been more .enterprising
and assiduous than the HERALD, in calling
attention to the supreme richness of the
mines of Southern California, which now
form so large part of the income of
the country, and afford a great and in
creasing field for the trade of the city of
Los Angeles. There can be no question
but that large share of the fortunat te
prospectors and miners of this portion of
the State have been induced to come
here by the statements made in the pub
lie press concerning the mines andmining
prospects Of the country. On this point
the Chicago Mining Reriep says most
plainly
The chief factor in the development Of
the mining industry of any locality is the
unappreciated and usually poorly sus-
tanned local paper. The true value of
mining claims, the advantages to capital
lists, the iich strikes Of well conducted
properties all fail of their legitimate
influence if the fact is not made known
outside of the narrow circle of isolated
localities. As important as is the local
and special press to the mining interests,
as has been proven in thousand cases,
no other business expects so much or
pays SO little to the right arm of its success.
Papers that have earnestly and faithfully
labored to attract the attention of cap
ital and build up on a permanent basis
the mining industry of camp, have
been left to starvc and die in the place
that they have done so much to estab-
iish. No other business expects gratu-
itious advertising, and it is short.
sighted policy for miners and mining
companies to neglect the best, and in
many instances the only means that can
be used to advance the interest of their
camp.
