A Dreadful Calamity.

An unfortunate woman who is known
by the sobriquet Of "Crazy Lize," and
lives in the vicinity Of Guadalupe and
Hewitt street, concluded that she would
pasture one Of her numerous goats near
the zania for the purpose of increasing
the quantity il not the quality of the
milk of the precious quadruped While
she was hopefully tying the cord to a
picket stake the goat observed an oppor-
tunity of paying back some old scores
that rankled and festered in her re-
tentive memory, and in a moment the
spectators of the pastoral scene per.
ceived that the old woman did not
possess the confidence and affection Of
that particular goat, and the greatest
mistake Of her life was made when she
turned her back to that animal and
stopped to tie that cord. With a leap
and blow the head of the goat struck
the STOPPING shepherdess and splash she
went into the running waters.
The transaction was so ludicrous that
the lockers on stood still and laughed,
but when the gentle shepherdess was
fished out she presented such a rare
mass Of ruins that eyes unused to weep
were closed in anguish and dismay. and
oil the eyes glancing through fences ran
incontinently away, for fear the object
of their laughter should set eyes upon
them and visit her wrath upon them for
their levity in previous moment. At
public meeting of the neighbors on
the school house steps last night the
goat was voted square meal of brown
paper for the entertainment of the
people.

Nswly discovered Placer Mines.

A few prospectors, who have for some
years been working number Of placer
mines in Southern California, recently
came to the conclusion that too many
were working in the frequented placeres,
aud started out with new outfit for a
| fresh find. 1t did not take them long,
and II reports are true, it is very rich,
and is known to have been worked long
ago by the early settlers, but abandoned
for some reason. presumably through
outlaws, with plenty of riches remain
ing in the earth. The gravel is found
in side caion Of the crooked cafiada Of
the Sierra Pelon, which debouches into
the Soledad caiion, near Summit station
on the railroad, 76 miles north of this
city. The route is devious through the
canada, first to the northwest, and then
southwest, and the distance from Sum-
nit by this route is about twelve miles,
although it can be reached from Lang
station by trail over the mountain in
trip Of about eight miles. The loca-
iion is on the north slope of Mt. Par
k;nson. Over the mountains, If a
straight line could be taken, the Palo-
mas mines arc about fifteen miles to the
west. and Piru placers about thirteen
miles northwest OF the Pslomas district.
The new find is right south Of tine range
called Sierra Pelon. which divides
it from Turner'S Pass, the old
stage road from here to Tehachepi.
Elizabeth Lake is right on the other side
of tho range. Although pelon means
Share" and the mountain is SO now, an
old and unused wood road leads up the
canada, which, although in bad condi-
tion, can be used. 1t is possible that
this discovery may prove to be of i'm
portance to the mining interests OF this
county. The Castequi mines are about
twenty miles northwest, and the placer
canon about ten miles south, showing
that, however the riches contained in
the auriferous soil may hold out. it is
situated almost in the center of the
pluceres Of that section.

Hotel and Theatre Project.

1t is whispered that capitalists are in
treaty for the purchase of the st.
Charles Hotel property, now owned by
the heirs of the late Wallace Wood
worth. 1t is stated, should the nego-
tiation be consummated, that it is the
intention Of the purchasers to build a
magnificent hotel, including a theatre,
on the same plan as the Baldwin, of San
Francisco. The site is an admirable
one for such purpose, being centrally
located and having frontage on Main
street, including the old County Bank,
OF 30 feet, with an / extending from the
rear of the lot to Commercial street.
We are not at liberty to give names.
but our informant, who is a reliable gen.
tleran, states that the project has taken
such shape that the plans for the build
ing have already been prepared. He
also stated that if the negotiations for
the st. Charles property should come to
nought, that some other site will be
selected and the enterprise carried out,
as the parties interested mean business.
We heartily say, God speed the under
taking, and sincerely trust the negotia.
ions may be carried to successful end.

Magnetism. the New Source of
Health.

DR.. Edwin Robbins, tho celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Hoaler,
respectfully informs the public that he
has opened an office in the city of Los
Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the use
of surgery, drugs. minerals and all other
medicines in his treatment and relies
solely on the powers Of magnetism. An
experience of several years in the Aus
traliau colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands Of
persons, enables him to assert with con-
tidenoe that he can cure diseases which
have deted the application of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within us. The air we breath is charged
with it. It's the vital force emanating
from all persons and that which con-
meets the soul with the body. In sup
port of this theory he cures acute pains
instantly, local pains in few days, and
builds up the most shattered constitu-
tions in short time. DR.. Robbins, who
has worldwide reputation for his ex-
traordinary cures of difficult and COM
plicated diseases, possesses power to
relieve and cure all kinds of disease. Dr.
Robbins diagnoses diseases free of charge
without explanation from the patient.

A Brilliant and Thoroughly Enjoy
able Affair.

The anniversary ball Of the l. o. o.
f., at Turnvereiu Hall last night, in
celebration Of the sixty-fourth anniver-
sary of the Order in the United States,
was one Of the mot elegant and enjoya-
Bile events in the social annals of Los
Angeles. The Hall was appropriately
decorated for the occasion. and with the
exquisite costumes Of the fair danes who
graced the fete, presented scene whose
brilliancy we have rarely seen
equalled. At 0 o'clock tho festiv-
tiles opened with grand march
after which dancing commenced and
continued until midnight. when supper
was announced. This was served in the
gymnasium in the rear OF the hall and
was feast in every sense Of the word,
all the delioacies of the season being
served with lavish profusion. After
supper dancing was resumed and was
kept up with unabated enjoyment until
an early hour this morning. In all lis
features the Odd Fellows anniversary
ball will be long remembered as a
thoroughly delightful fiesta.

Governor renton on Los Angeles.

New York. April 2l.-The Tribune
says; Ex-Governor Fenton, who has
recently suffered much uneasiness on
account Of an affection of his eyes, and
who has been spending portion of the
winter in Southern California for his
general health and pleasure, has written
from Los Angeles, under date of March
2Sth, private letter to friend in this
city, from which the following extract
is taken: LOS Angeles is especially
active and prosperous. Its growth since
l was here three years ago has been ex.
ceptional, even in this rapidly growing
part of California. The increased facil.
tiles for travel and trade from the far
East and from Arizona and New Mexico,
have opened the way to further settle.
ment in the rich valleys and to the
growth of towns. The vineyards and
orange orchards are increasing. The
manufacture of wine and brandy is car.
ried forward on large scale, the plant.
ing of nut trees and semi-tropical fruits,
besides the orange, has been surprisingly
multiplied, and the growth of wheat for
export is now becoming an important
interest. The new impulse may be
traced to the opening of the Southern
Pacific Railroad through the Southern
Territories and on to the East and
Southeast. This main line and its sew.
eral branches in Southern California
naturally turn toward Los Angeles as
receiving and distributing point"

odd Fellows Parade.

The parade of the members Of this So
ciety yesterday afternoon at two o'clock
in honor of the Gath anniversary of the
organization of the Order, was highly
successful. The procession was preced-
ed by two mounted policemen, followed
by the City Band of fourteen pieces,
after which followed large procession
of the order. The delegation of the
highest branch of the order in this city,
the Orange Grove Encampment, with
their handsome uniform, attracted much
attention. The procession marched
through the principal streets, and then
met at their hall on Spring street for the
consideration of business incident to the
day. The whole parade was very well
managed. and attracted many specta.
tors.

ooncerning olives.

Some time sinceit was announced in
connection with the fact that ex-Gov-
ernor Leland Stanford was going largely
into the vineyard business in Tehama
county, that he had sent agents to
Europe to secure tho most skilled labor
to be obtained, to manage this vast
property. Most Of this help was to
come from France, but 1t now transpires
that this public-spirited gentleman has
decided to materially enlarge the area of
cultivation on his extensive rancho, and
plant the balance to the olive tree,
which is a very wise move. But in ad.
dition, Governor Stanford has notified
his agent in Europe not to return from
France, but proceed to Italy and obtain
an experienced corps Of olive Guilt
vators who thoroughly understand
how to raise their favorite fruit. II is
to be hoped that sufficient surplus
may come, so chat portion Of them
may be induced to settle in Southern
California, and showing by their practi-
cal knowledge Of olive culture, prove to
our rancheros that the olive IL what we
have always stated. one Of the best,
most valuable and permanent crops
which can be raised; the tree living and
even increasing its vitality for many
hundred years. II is sincerely to bs
hoped that such oonsummation may
take place.

Death to Grizzlies.

We had the pleasure If meeting Col.
Charley Thomas, Of Hemitt valley, San
Diego county, in the city yesterday. He
Informed us that grizzly signs were plen.
tiful in his neighborhood; and that. as
his friend Judge Brunson is the only
person who ever had any success in in.
timidating the bears in that section, he
had come down to secure his services.
The Judge, in whom good nature is the
predominating characteristic, has kindly
consented to intermit his legal labors for
time, in order to devote his energies to
the extirpation of the grizzlies, which,
unless he or some other Nimrod goes to
the rescue, might play havoc with the
focks and herds of Col, Thomas. A
goodly supply of Winchester rifles, a
mitrailleuse or two. and other death
dealing weapons, with the proper assort-
ment OF ammunition. having been pur-
chased, Col. Thomas, accompanied by
Judge Brunson, will return to the valley
this morning. Judge Brunson assured
Us that this time he means business, and
that we may shortly expect to receive
several launches Of bear meat; and, later
in the season, several hams, cured after
the most approved hunter fashion.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-04-27

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Evening Express, informs the 'local" of
this journal that cotton is grown in Cal
ifornia, and hints at possible supply
being raised to supply proposed fac
tory at Oakland of 1000 looms. Per.
haps there will be in hundred and
fifty years from this time 1t is now
more than twenty years since Don Jose
Rubio began raising cotton in Los Anee.
les county, and it was q financial failure.
and ever since some man has tried the
thing from time to time and failed.
After twenty years trial we have not
produced in this great State enough
to stock mill for one week in a year,
and as long as labor is as dear as it now
is, cotton growing is Of no profit. The
market is already overstocked with cot
ton, and the planters are trying to com.
bine to keep up prices by planting a less
area this spring The people in New
England, where lubor is cheap,
are not happy in the business
OF taking cotton by low ocean
freight thousand miles to their mills
to manufacture it, and so are moving
their mills into the Southern States,
where they ought to be, to make cloth
and yarn at the place of production
where water power is abundant and
labor cheap and, save transportation on
the raw material. That is the proper
way to do. A rise in labor in New
England to California rates would break
up every cotton mill. At the close of
the war under the imitation of wages,
the Spragues, the largest cotton manu-
facturers in America, went to the wall,
and so it would be here. We cannot
afford to haul cotton $500 miles by rail
and manufacture it by steam power, at
a high rate of wages.
The local columns of the HERALD will
advocate cotton growing wherever it
will pay, but as long as alfalfa raising
and all kinds of fruit growing pays
so largely. there is no use in
growing cotton. The land that grows
cotton will grow fruit and alfalfa
at double the profit that cotton will
yield. The writer has raised both cot
ton and fruit, and knows whereof he
affirms. We need paper mill, quartz
mill and water-jacket furnace in Los
Angeles, but have no use for cotton
mills or cotton fields. We can do better.
The people of Oakland can put $500, 900
in cotton factory and take their
chances. We prefer something surer.

Coal Yards, Etc.

Mr.. Walter s. Maxwell has concluded
arrangements to open here large coal
yards, and now has two cargoes of coal
to arrive ready for Fall trade. He has
secured the exclusive agency Of the we'll
known Wellington coal, which has the
reputation Of being the best household
coal in the Pacific Coast market. He
will also handle the Australia coal. Mr..
Maxwell has secured yard room on Ala.
media street, where the cars can be
switched in the yard and unloaded and
loaded at slight cost. This new de-
parture will insure to consumers of coal
a plentiful supply always on hand and
at moderate price; far below present
cost of cord wood. Mr.. Maxwell will
also have in store pig iron, cement and
coke, shipments Of which he now has

Some Facts and a Prediction.

John s. Hittell, one of our we'll known
Pacific Coast litsrateurs, is travelling in
Italy, and reports thus on agricultural
and horticultural subjects, promising by
the statement that, owing to the extern
sive ravages of the phylloxera in France.
Italy produced more grapes in 1882 than
her neighboripg country. The writer
also points out the fact that the land is
owned in large parcels by wealthy men,
who know nothing, and care less, Of
farming. leaving the care Of the estate
to stewards, who usually know as little.
The peasants are poor and ignorant, the
recent developments and railroad con
nections proving too iconoclastic for the
mature people, while the young genera
ton is not yet old enough to appreciate
it. A curious fact ia that the presence
Of dangerous disease among the
peasants, probably caused by squalor,
| is attributed to the use of Indian corn,
which is deprecated by the authorities.
and therefore only used by the poorest
classes. As to the fruits, no statistics
we're obtainable, but in other principal
crops, the following statistics are ap-
proximately correct. The area planted
to various crops is placed in order Of
Importance: Wheat, first, 1000. 900
acres; vineyards, 4.5o0, 900 acres; In
dian corn. 4,2Oo, 900 acres; rye and oats,
2, 300. 900 acres; olive trees, 1900, 600
acres; rice. $4,000 acres; hemp and
fax, 5000 acres. With this official
showing in Sunny ITALY," it seems as
| If California was even more in its in
fancy in producing similar products
than is generally supposed even by its
most sanguine residents. In Southern
California this reasoning is thu more GER
tain, in the indubitable fact that when
this comes-as it will-this portion Of
the State will advance in this regard
more than any other. and the rising
generation will doubtless see it.

End of the Track.

The Colorado Division Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad is now completed, and
a large force of men are at work on the
terminal yards. The connection of this
road with the Atlantic and Pacific will
be about two and half miles west of
the Colorado river. The Atlantic &
Pacific Company will build an iron
bridge across the river, but at present a
temporary one is being constructed,
large iimbers being brought over this
division from the northern part of this

Commissioner Lees Court.

United States Commissioner H. T..
LIE had lively levee yesterday. He
had before him the two colored men
named Hamilton, arrested for shooting
Indians on the lands allotted as a reser-
walton, near Warmers Ranch, San Diego
county. The Commissioner decided that
as the lands on which the Indians lived
had never been ceded to the United
States the case did not come under the
United States statute laws, but remained
under the jurisdiction of the State laws;
hence the United States had no juris-
diction and could not try cases of assault
committed on territory not under their
control. The defendants were dis
charged. II tried for the charge against
them the defendants must be proceeded
against in the State courts. The case of
Tom Boyce, charged with selling liquor
to Indians, was set for May 5th.
Charges Of perjury were preferred
against Z. J. Northam. W. D. Lamb,
John Mccullough and C. c. Wilson, but
the latter person could not be found.
The examination will be held next week.
These charges are based on the noted
ejectment suit brought by the Los An
geles and San Bernardino Land Com
pany against the settlers on the Las
Bolsas Rancho. The complaint alleges
that the affidavits charging the settlers
with cutting wood on the lands Of the
Company are false. A hotly contested
suit it likely to arise again about this
old case.
1t might be well to state for the infor-
nation Of the public that the two col.
ored men, the Hamiltons, are we'll fixed
in this worlds goods; have lots of
money and their residence fortified for a
seige. There is feud between them
and the Indians, and II matters are not
well managed in dealing with them in
this case, somebody will get hurt The
caution may be of service to persons
unacquainted with the Hamilton family.
