Another Foul Murder.

r. w. Scott. ESQ.,, of Anaheim, in
forms reporter of the HERALD that a
mysterious murder took place in the
suburbs of Anaheim on Friday afternoon
last. The victim of the murder is Will
liam Brass, who lived about three miles
out of Anaheim. He was vineyardist
and wine-maker, about 40 years of age
and lived entirely alone. On Saturday
morning a man called at the house of
deceased, and not finding any signs of
Brass around, proceeded to look over
the house. After examining the upper
portions, the cellar was visited, and
what was the mans horror upon discov-
ering the lifeless remains of his friend
lying upon the floor with two ugly
wounds in the back of his head, and
cIutched in deadly grip was an instru-
ment used in drawing wine from casks.
By the appearance Of the body the con-
clusion was reached that some unknown
person, an enemy of the deceased (of
which it is said he had number
among the Mexicans and Indians) had
called to purchase some wine, and when
Brass proceeded to the cellar he was
followed, and when the victims back
was turned, had shot him down. The
body was quite cold, and the supposi-
ton is that the murder was committed
on the day before.
Sheriff Currier was notified and pro-
ceeded to the place to investigate the
matter. A small boy in the neighbor-
hood saw two men riding rapidly away
from the house of Brass on Friday even
ing He thought they were Mexicans.
A Coroner's Jury was summoned and
brought in verdict that deceased came
to his death by gunshot wounds inflicted
by some person or persons to the jury
unknown. The affair creates great ex-
citeme mt in Anaheim.

A Fair for Santa Ana.

The Santa Ana Standard comes out
in favor OF fair at that place, and in
its last issue says: "That this valley is
able to get up good fair no one will
question. That she has ample material
both in live stock and agricultural pro-
duotions, is an acknowledged fact. That
she has every facility for getting up
fine fair, is equally true, Therefore,
why not hold one this Fall? Only
mile and q half northwest of town there
is a fine tract of land belonging to
Messrs, Il. +. Taylor and Jas. Hickey
that could be had for the purpose Of
holding o fair at little or no expense.
Those gentlemen have Just finished a
spleudid mile race track for the use OF
the public, for training fast horses. 1t
is inferior to no race track in the county
and is circular in shape. 1t is proposed
by some enterprising gentlemen that the
people Of the valley hold fair uponthis
ground about the last week in September.
As there is no money topay as premiums
there will be no cost for entrance, but
the premiums will be given in ribbons
aud diplomas and everything conducted
upon the same principle as the best reg
ulated fairs in the East. By thus be-
ginning there is no doubt that interest
enough can be awakened to lay the foun-
dation for successful annual fairs that
will be credit to the country. Purses
will be made up by stoekmen aud own
ers of fine horses sufficient to induce
live composition in racing. Now then,
II few men who have tho time will or
ganize to start with, and then every
farmer, fruit-raiser and stock raiser in
the valley manifest an interest by bring
ing something for exhibition, Santa Ana
valley can get up fair that will equal
II not surpass the one held at Los Ange.
les last fall. 1t is worth trying for, and
all man has got to do is to bring some
thing to exhibit. Will you do IL, gen.

What Lieut.. Greedy Ac compiished.


The brave Lieutenant Greedy, who has
many warm friends in Los Angeles, who
are rejoicing in his return, will be pleased
to know that the learned geographical
societies of England and America have
awarded to him the highest honors as an
Arctic explorer. He has enlarged the
map of the Arctic geographers into new
and unknown regions at the risk of his
life, and the loss of all his scientific as
sistsnts. Out of the gloom of his suf-
ferings may be cleaned the following i'm
portant facts: Lieutenant Gree,y ha.
not only taken away from Commander
Markham of the British Navy the blue
ribbon of the Arctic discovery for the
highest latitude ever attained in any part
of the world, but he has greatly ex-
tended the limits of Mares explorations
both in Greenland and Grinnell Land.
The fact that two OF Greely's sledge par
ties were stopped by open water in the
Polar Sea, and that both were at times
adrift in strong currents which threat
ened to carry them hslpiessly away north.
ward, would seem to show that the
TOlaT Dasiu is NOV sea vi hhcioht,
immovable ice, which Mares de-
scribed, and which he declared was
never navigable.' Lieutenant Greely's
exploration extended over three degrees
of latitude and nearly forty degrees of
longitude. He has virtually ascertained
the true outline of Grinrell Land; has
crossed it from East to West, and on the
Northern coast of Greenland has gone
one degree Of latitude and ten degrees of
longitude bsyond the furthest point
reached by Captain Mares or the &C
complished sledging officer, Lieutenant
Beaumont. These achievements alone
reflect the highest credit upon Leaten-
ant Greedy aad his men; but to them,
must, Of course, be added great mass
Of scientific knowledge gathered by the
party during their two years at Lady
Franklin Bay.

The Mining Boom.

The mining boom along the Colorado
still continues, and causes lively trade
in this city. Concerning this progress
the Arizona Sentinel says: Gas will be
seen from our correspondent from Will
liams Fork, and the particulars of the
shipment OF bullion from the Clip mill,
in this weeks issue, it can only be de-
termined that Yuma county, though
slow in her development of both silver
and copper mines, is steadily coming to
the front as mineral producing country.
The copper mines situated on Williams
Fork above Ehrenberg, and which are
owned by men of means, both in Yuma
county and Los Angeles, California, will
soon be worked with full confidence and
success. The shipment of bullion from
the Clip mill Of six bars of bullion as a
partial shipment evinces the fact that
Silver District is embraced amongst the
most valuable mining camps of our Ter
ritory. These mines are in the hands of
practical and capable mining men, and
from these successes we trust that other
mining owners will soon prosecute the
value Of their locations. Yuma county
will yet, and at no distant distant day,
take lead in the mining operations of
Arizona"
