Board Of Supervisors.

THURSDAY, Jan. 10, 1884.
Board met to-day in regular session;
full Board and Clerk present.
Report from the District Attorney
read and placed on the record book.
Following is gist Of it: In the case
Of J. z. Fulton. the tax was correc., but
the property was assessed higher than
adjoining property. He never appeared
before the Board of Equalization to have
his assessment reduced. which was the
proper way. His payment was volun-
tayy and be cannot force the county to
pay it back. This has been decided by
the California Supreme Court. The
case of Captain Moore is on the same
basis. By Section 3,S05. Polit-
ical code, it refers the rebate to the
County Auditor. and takes it away from
the Supervisors. These men rely on
Section 3.s04, Political Code, which
does not apply to double assessments.
There is no erroneous or illegal assess-
msnt. because the roll is regular. II
the Supervisors should be pay it. they
would mot be liable in any sense, but
would constitute themselves Board Of
Equalization.
On motion of Supervisor Giroux, all
bills for taxes enormously assessed,
passed until February meeting.
Adjourned until February 4th, at 10

About a Domestic Volcano.

The Santi Maria Times says: We hal
q conversation with Mr.. Stubblefield on
Wednesday in relation to the amateur
volcano mentioned in our last issue. The
burning mountain is situated On his
place, and LIE substantially confirms the
statements made. The mountain ap-
parently is composed Of chalk rock
which on the outside is very broken
and crumbles aud rolls beneath the
feet. The fires seem to rage all un-
derneath, aud in many places an ex-
cavation made with q common hoe
will expose the fragments Of rocks
glowing with intense heat. The
heavy rains Of last month only added
fuel TO the fires, and there Is no way
Of stopping it until 1t has burned up
the supply of asphaltnm. In two
or three places the boiling and seeth-
ing asphsltum can be seen through
the openings in the rocks. Some
whore We have read of volcanoes which
had their origin in this way, but just at
present We cannot quote the authority.
We can readily imagine what would be
the result should the bed Of asphaltum
prove extensive enough and the escape
become clogged and closed. Gas enough
would be generated by the intei nal fires
to shake the universe should an explo-
sion take place. Our theory is that the
deposit OF asphaltum is not extensive,
and that the fires will burn themselves
out in few weeks more, or mouths at
the farthest, and deposit Of red chalk
will be the result, with possibly valu-
able deposit Of refined ayphalt.
II this shake, ca1sed by the burning
of 9 little bed Of asphaltun. should dis
turb the universe very much, the capac-
ity Of the universe il much less than we
have been led to expect. And, further,
II the burning Of the various rocks of the
Santa Ynez range will produce chalk. it
will surprise Tyndall, Ben. Slliman,
Doremus, Hllgard and Hanks.
''To know cheese from chalk, by q
very slight inspection" has been recog-
Dized as essential to the average Ameri-
can. But the roasting Of granite, soap-
stone, slate and sandstone into chalk
would be peculiar transmutation that
might puzzle the average chalk ms--
chant to tell what kind oecheese it real
ly was. OF one thing it is certain, the
product would not be Limburger, or even
good crayons. Chalk cliffs are made by
another process. The factory is SO large
and the stock ON hsnd is so abundant,
that it appears needless to run an oppo-
eition.

The Needles.

From Henry Sherff, Superintendent
Of Construction of buildings, bridges,
etc.. Of the 8. P. R. R., we obtained
the following itema concerning improve
ments at the Needles:
Several buildings have been erected
there lately. including . railroad oil
house and Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S build
ing. Six new cottages are about to be
erected by the railroad company for em.
ployes at that point. They will be Of
neat and tasty design and comfortable,
having double roof; dimensions 25x32
feet each. There are other substantial
improvements in contemplation, which
will add to the size and attractions Of
the town.
A petition containing over two hum
dred pamss was recently sent to the
Board Of Supervisors asking for tho 60.
tablishmsnt Of . township. Justices
court, and the appointment Of the neces.
sary officers at the Nesdles.-Calico

the Antelope settlement.


Mr.. Paul +. Brown came in last night
from Antelope valley. He left Lam
caster station yesterday while the
nor shern gale was ''blowing great guns"
through the Cajon pass. but at Lam
caster station there was no wind blowing
at all. The artesian well that Is being
sunk is down over 100 feet and has
large stream Of water continually flow
ing over the top Of the pipe. 1t will
reach the great subterranean basin Of
pure water in about two more days when
a gush of the aqueous fluid will pour
forth. The other well belonging to the
Southern Pacific Railroad flows SO, 400
gallons per day. Such a stream would
furnish water for hundred acres Of
fruit trees.
The new hotel at Lancaster is enclosed
aud five men are ut work Oh the b1ild-
ing with the expectation of completing
1t in three weeks.
A large number OF settlers are putting
in grain and over 1000 acres of wheat
have been sown already. This grain
can be cut for hay or threslred for
wheat, as prospective profit would in
dictate. The land is above the fog and
the stalks of the grain are bright and
free from rust fungus. Thirty six farm
ers have made settlement, and as
many more have given directions to
have their land plowed.
Several Of the solid men of Los An
geles have bought tracts Of $40 acres
ea,h ind made an arrangement for hav-
ing an artesian well put down on the
mesa. A surface well on the high mesa
hds struck water at forty-fve feet, and
at the foot of the mesa is another at l4A
feet that contains -four. feet Of water. In
the semicircle of mountains around the
tact, fifteen small springs have been dis
covered, the water from which can be
carried on to the highest mesa.
All the teams in the settlement are
very busy and Mr.. Brown will purchase
more or engage land to be plowed by
the acre. This will be good opening
for the merchants Of Los Angeles to sell
agricultural implements, and for the
nurserymen of our city to sell their
deciduous fruit trees. Some eucalyptus
trees will be planted on the mesa. to
ascertain il the climate is too cold for
them, and If it Is not, large number Of
them will be planted during the follow
ing year.
Mr.. Brown will make arrangements
while in the city, for sinking an artesian
well and plowing and planting several
hundred acres. He seems to enjoy the
life Of granger very we'll, aud appears
more robust than when living in the
city. His song then used to be, II
want to be granger and with the
graugers stand"
