VIZ always welcome everything
which puts the Democratic party on its
metal. In the special elections called by
Gov. Stoncman. the party has not
achieved all that it expected up TO this
current date. We have lost Dozier.
while we have made Breckinridge by
the skin of his teeth, as it were. The
northern member Is n debatable proposi.
tion, as far as we are at present advised.
Tho victory Of Judge Wallace, by u ma
jority Of four hundred odd over mere
boy and moneyed dude, in the person
Of Horace Hawes, is not a thing to be
exulted over. The party, in that in-
stance, with one OF its most illustrious
standard bearers to the front, was saved
"as by fire." The special session will
be graced by the splendid and super
eminent abilities Of Judge Wallace, but
what frightiul risk was wrapped up in
this proposition Let all lovers Of fair
play hope that Judge Wallace will con
centrate his great abilities and expert.
ence on Just and equitable scheme Of
legislation. Let us hope, besides, that
the extra session will be short, sharp
and decisive.

Mining Dividends.

The Orc Grande Mining Company
held meeting on Monday and declared
dividend Of $4,000 for the month Of
January and $4,000 for the month of
February Owing to the great storm
and the impossibility Of commune iting
between Calico and Los Angeles, the
February meeting OF the Directors could
not be held, and 40 no dividend could
be declared. The King Mine, which
this company is running, appears to be
paying about 100 per cent. per annum
on the cost OF tho mine besides paying
the running expenses. Tint is certainly
very good mining, and shows careful
milling aud prudent management. Mr..
johnson Is an old pioneer. and familiar
with the country, and states that there
has been no water in the bed Of the Mo
jave river at Daggett since 1868, period
Of sixteen years. The appearance Of a
swift, navigable stream, with waves roil
ing and dashing six feet high, on here
tofore dry and rainless desert, looked
miraculous and astonishing even to vet.
eran prospectors. Mr.. johnson says the
greatest trouble in running the quartz
mill during the flood has been the lack
Of fuel. The engine had been constructed
to burn petroleum, but the railroad be.
ing washed away no oil could be had,
and resort had to be made to wood along
the Mojave and to coal from San Fran
cisco, but the latter was detained by land
slides and failed 10 come in time for use.
The road at Waterman's is now sup
posed to be passable and the coal has
gone to the front.
Hereafter oil can be sent to the mill
from San Fernando and the mill will be
kept very well supplied. Had any such
break of the railway been expected
supply Of oil would have been laid in in
advance and the scant wood OF the Mo-
jave been spared for some other purpose.
Considering the weather, the floods and
lakes Of water extending as far as the
eye can reach, product Of $4,000 Of
bullion from ore hauled sixmiles through
an inundated valley is not bad show
ing for our Angelenos. Next month,
with passable roads and plenty Of fuel,
this rich mine will astonish even its
owners.

IT has passed from the domoi

IT has passed from the domain of gos-
sip to that Of fact that General Sheehan,
late of the Sacramento Bee, has pur.
chased an interest in the San Francisco
Post. In Col. John p. jackson that
journal already had personal guaran-
tee OF success. Col. Jackson is one of
the most winning gentlemen connected
with the press of the Pacific Coast. He
is also one OF the most persuasive and
powerful orators that his party can
claim in California, and the wonder to
us has been that he has not directed his
quite remarkable abilities towards the
political arena. He is a strong and ad-
mirable man from all points of view.
Gen. Sheehan, it is hardly necessary for
us TO say, is a most accomplished news
paper man, thoroughly equipped as a
journalist and will be host in himself in
building up newspaper property. We
confidently look for great things from
the Post under its new management. Al.
ways good and manly paper, maugre
its politics, this sterling evening journal
ought to prosper amazingly under its
new control.

AN ANGLERS STORY.
A Florida Fisherman's Big Luck, and
How He Utilized 1t.

How He Utilized 1t.
The Florida fishermen are like all
the rest of US, says an angler in the
Philadelphia Times. While was
stopping at small hotel or tavern
down on the St. Johns river the
proprietor asked me in to play a
game of pool one day, while we
were awaiting the arrival of party
of gentlemen who were to join us
from jacksonville. The landlord
tossed me a cue, and as I applied
the chalk | noticed that the cue was
peculiarly heavy and had the appear
ance of polished ivory. He used a
cue of similar pattern, but the 9TH
ers in the rack were quite ordinary.
The covering Of the table also at
tracted my attention. Instead Of
the usual green baize it looked like
a peculiar species of smoothly
tanned leather of a dark gray color.
"What is this cover made OFF" |
inquired.
"That?" replied the Southerner,,
"why, that's piece of catfish skin.
1t makes the finest cover in the
world when it's nicely tanned and
stretched"
'EYou don't mean to say that you
got that off of one fish," I said in
credulously, as I failed to discover a
single flaw or seam in the cover.
ooh, yes; that isn't all, either. There
was enough left over to make me a
pair of waterproof overhauls. Yes,
sir, I caught that fish year ago
last summer about mile below Cy-
press Point, in the st. Johns river.
We had to harpoon him and land
him by means of fiat boat and a
block and tackle. Perhaps you
have noticed popularity of these
cues, too. They were made from
the horns of the same catfish"
"And these balls" added the
fisherman, as he emptied the fifteen
colored balls from a wicker basket
and arranged them for the game,
care another product of the same
CATCH"
''How in the world?" l asked
trying to look serious.
"Well, sir, yon may not believe
it, but I sent fifteen of that fsh's
teeth up to shop in Jacksonville
and had them made into balls on 3
turning lathe"
