Important to Fruit-arowers.

As the season for ripening the best
kinds of deciduous fruits is now upon
us the orchardists would do well to bear
in mind the fact that the managers Of
the great Worlds Fair at New Orleans,
have offered the most liberal premiums
ever before presented to uit-growers in
the United States. Cold storage rooms
have been prepared for storing fruit, so
that Los Angeles peaches, apples, pears,
grapes, and apricots can be laid in store
IN September, and exhibited fresh, fair
and unwrinkled, in January following.
Among the numerous premiums the fol-
lowing is a sample of the wise liberality
Of the managers: ''For pears the first
premium is $3.50, the second, 500. For
grapes the first is 500 silver medal for
not less than fifty varieties, California
is mentioned separately as an orange
raiser, and the leading premiums are
SOD and SIS. The first premium for
lemons is $25. For the best exhibition
Of citrus fruits, other than oranges, from
the State of California, the premium is
q silver medal, $50. A silver medal,
$50, is offered for the best coleetion of
not less than six varieties of Japanese
persimmons grown in the United States.
A gold medal of 500 is offered for 100
Jars of fruits preserved whole in glass, a
$50 silver medal for tho best exhibit of
evaporated fruits, and similar medals for
the beat exhibit Of raisins produced in
the United States, and the best exhibit
of canned fruits in glass. Premiums ag-
gregating $500 are offered.

Break in the Main Street Water
Pipes.

EDITOR HERALD:-In regard to the
breaking Of the water pipes on Main
street, as stated in the HERALD yester-
day, it is most true. / am the party
who had the contract for grading that
street and when discovered that they
would be broken by the grading, notifi-
ed the City Water Company of the fact,
but the company refused to do anything
iu the matter, and told me that I must
take the consequences of breaking the
pipe. / went to work and broke two
pipes on the east side. Then went to
Harper, Reynolds L Co. and got the firm
to fix them at my expense. On the west
side broke two more and have had
them also mended by the same firm. SO
that the supply of water is uninterrupt-
ed. 1t was the business Of the City Wa
ter Company TO lower the pipes, so as
to be out OF the way of grading the
streets, which is done by authority of
the City Council. While deeply re.
gretting the inconvenience to the citi-
zens who had their water supply shut
off, / did all in my power to protect
them from injury.

The Petroleum Field in Ventura.

The greatest natural showing of oil on
the Pacific coast is to be seen in the
Little Sespe Petroleum mining district,
Ventura county, California, embracing
ten miles square in the center Of the
great oil belt, which is here six miles in
breadth, gradually tapering from this
district, both east and west, to mar
row limit, as recent developments have
demonstrated. The peculiar formation
of the oil bearing rock in this locality,
differing from most others, indicates
where and how far to sink, with GER
tainty of striking the oil at depth
of from 800 to 1900 feet, as in the case
of the Kentuck and Los Angeles wells.
The proper time has now arrived that a
few Of the facts in relation to this i'm
portant industry lone of the greatest
sources Of wealth in the State), should
be made public.
From an article lately published in the
Alta, and extensively copied by several
OF the leading journals, the public is in
formed that all of the oil lands on this
coast are wholly owned and controlled by
a single corporation or syndicate of cap
italists, which in fact is not the case. By
careful and impartial examination any
one will become convinced that by far
the greater portion of the most valuable
oil producing territory is wholly owned
and controlled by private individuals.
There never has been but one incor-
poiated company in this district, viz:
the Los Angeles Oil Company owing 800
acres Of land, which was given them by
one of the undersigned to develop, in
which they succeeded in procuring the
greatest flow of oil ever produced on this
coast, and from which A. L. Edwards, the
retiner, manufactured and placed on the
market non explosive oil unequaled by
any of the eastern oils, some of which
he still retains.
On this showing the company was ad-
vised by the monopoly to send east for a
competent person, whom they recom-
mended TO take charge of their works.
In which undertaking, no doubt, TO some,
he most enthusiastically proved his CON-
potency, by at once proceeding to force
into the well much larger set of tools
than was used in drilling, and by con-
tinued heavy jarring, finally succeeded
in forcing them down to the desired, by
him, sticking point, since which time not
drop Of oil has been produced.
The company by former like manage
ment have lost confidencein any one with
whom to entrust SO important and ex-
pensive an enterprise. In the mean
time constant and continuous howl Of
"Black oil" has been let loose, resound-
ing from one end of the State to the
| other.
But, notwithstanding the reputed
blackness of this green and amber color.
ed oil, the proof tube will show you that
it stand at from 26 to 80 degrees gravity
and is 10 degrees higher fire test than
any OF the other oils. The tract is own
ed by the original locators who have
consolidated it into from 1000 to 5000
| acres.

Accident


Yesterday afternoon as the freight
train going west was pulling out Of this
station, Thomas Boyd undertook to jump
on the front end of the caboose as the
train was moving. His foot slipped and
he fell on the rail, and but for break
beam throwing him from the track, his
boby would have been cut in twain. He
received very serious injuries from the
blow, and is in very critical condition.
His spine is injured to such an extent
that his side and right leg is paralysed,
and should he recover which is doubtful,
he would be crippled from the injuries to
his back. He was picked up from the
track and conveyed to DIR. Banners
office, where his injuries were attended
to, after which he was conveyed to the
Flagstaff Hotel, where he now lies.
Boyd is young man and has many
friends in Flagstaff. He has been in the
employ of Jonn Cart; in the logging
camp for months. .-Flagstaf Champion
