To-day the Democratic primaries
will be held for the purpose Of elect
ing delegates TO the County Conven-
ton to be held next Saturday. The
Convention will be held for the pur-
pose Of electing delegates to the
State Convention that will
nominate Governor, Congress
man and full State ticket. We hope
Democrats will generally attend the
primaries. II is true that the ocea-
sion may lack the personally inspirit-
ing effect OF an election Of delegate s
TO a convention Tor the nomination OF
county officers; but in reality II Is
just as important. And, in addition,
II is good thing and has a good
effect, for Democrats to come out and
vote, and show their interest in the
party. This will be the first State
campaign in twenty-five years made
under Democratic national admin
istration. The fact that we have
Democratic President, and through
our chosen leaders are administering
the affairs Of the Republic, should
awaken enthusiasm in every Demo-
crat, here and elsewhere. California
should be redeemed this year from

Attorney General Garland to day filed
bis answer TO the bill recently filed by
J. Harris Rogers against Attornsy.Gen.
eral Garland, Senator Harris and Others
for a settlement Of the Pan-Electric Tel.
ephone Company's affairs. Garland In
his answer denies In detail every mater
ial statement In the bill, and calls atten-
ton to 'scandaIous and impertinent
matter in the BILL" He says he must
decline TO answer such portions unless
the Court directs him to do 80. In the
course of his answer Garland says he
became impressed with the apparent
usefulness OF inventions, and on
February 18th, 1883, attended meeting
Of persons interested at the residence Of
complainant. After relating the cir.
cumstancos Of the making of the con-
tract, Garlsnd says that complainant,
instead of devoting himself to perfecting
the invention, as by his contract he was
bound to do, sold his interest in the
stock in the patent, in violation of said
contract and against the interests of
the company; that finding he could not
persuade the defendants TO accede TO his
wishes, he procured many false and
malicious statements to b. published in
the public press Of the country, both as
to defendant and as to the business OF
the company.

Lospos, August l6.--The Mark Lane
Express, in its review Of the British
grain trade during the past week, says:
The unsettled weather has retarded
harvesting which will now be very late.
Wheat has rusted and mildewed to an
extent greatly affecting its quality and
every thing points to deiicien wheat
crop. English wheat liz firmer and
prices are against buyers. Sales of
English wheat during the past week
were A, 100 quarters at 32s Cd, against
33s Cd during the corresponding period
last year, The foreign wheat trade is
inanimate. and purchases are only of a
retail nature. Coni on spot Is against
buyers Fourteen eargoes of wheat
arrived; three cargoes were sold, includ'
ing one of California, at 33s Sd, one was
Withdrawn and seven remained. Trade
forwa ard is quiet. There is desultory
inquiry for California, which is momen-
tarily against buyers. To-day the mar
ket was very firm but quiet. English
wheat was Ia dearer and foreign I'd
dearer; -four was 3d@6d dearer and corn
was Cd dearer, beans and peas were
steady; barleys were unsteady.

10. Angelo. County mlains New.

From Col. c. b. Barsiow, a more than
"49.er, who Ia now engaged In devel-
oping copper ledge near Acton Station,
on the 3. p r. r., some facts were
CLEANED yesterday by HERALD report
err concerning that very promising mining
region. First, Barstow's own mine. the
King Of the West, he thinks enc Of the
most valuable properties on the coast,
being a well defined ledge of.red oxyde
copper ore, averaging 20 per cent in
copper and also yielding 40 o. in silver
per ton. There are now eight men at
work on this mine, and orosscut on
the ledge at depth Of 200 feet deep
shows 10 feet OF ore between clean
walls. Arrangements are being made
for the erection Of smelter upon this
property, which Ia expected to he COM
pleted within ak weeks or two months.
There are In this district large num-
Der OF gold lodges being worked of very
great promise. The Red Rover, belong
ing to Gen. Rollins and Mr.. Roberts,
has twenty men employed, and Col.
Bar stow says enthusiastically, SIT Ii the
finest mine in the world 1t il five
foot ledge Of free milling, ore, averaging
in the mill product throughout S23 per
ton. The New York mineo Jas. 0Reilley,
which is three feet ledge, is almost
equally "a promising, and has eight men
al work upon It.. The Esperanto is a
two feet ledge Of ore assaying $65 per
ton and has two men at work upon 1t.
Besides these are the Edward Reimus,
Gladstone, Rush and several etbera, all
OF good promise being developed. These
mines are all close to the railroad, the
most distant being not more than two
and a half miles from Acton Station.
The Fiddler mine is the only one not
yielding free milling ore, but is six feet
ledge OF rich sulphurets now employing
four men in its development. The
country rock of this district Is chiefly
sienite granite, talcose slate, porphyry
and gneiss, between respective forma-
tions OF which the gold lodges are found.
The Frazier five stamp mill is running
night and day turning ont bullion at the
rate of $500 week, there is q new ten
stamp mill in coarse OF construction by
Mr.. Y. II. Bland. another ten stamp
mill contracted for by Mr.. O'Reilly, ana
still another ia contemplation. There
are abundant wood and water in the
vicinity, a promise OF many more dis
coveries and an abiding confidence on
the part of every one interested there
that the mining district will develop into
one of the richest In the State.

THE last San Francisco Chronicle has
an editorial on war balloons. This
subject Ia receiving considerable at
tention since the recent successful
trip OF two French aeronauts in a bal.
loon from Cherbourg across the Eng
fish channel to London. ON this trip
the balloon was kept straight on its
course regardless Of adverse winds,
and landed at the precise spot intend
ed before starting OF course, there
is no reason why balloons so guided
could not drop down dynamite on
vessels. forts or armies and destroy
them. II is said that NJ. L'Hoste,
the aeronaut referred to, amused him
self on his journey by dropping toy
torpedoes on the forts and vessels
which he passed over, and the accu-
racy with which they hit their
aim was remarkable, thus prov
ing how easily real torpedoes
could be dropped down in the
same way, ON iron-clads or fort
tresses, with the evident result OF tear
ing them to fragments and causing a
fearful loss Of life. The adaptation
Of dynamite and nitro-glycerine as
explosives which can be used in war
TO be fired from cannon in shells, OF
used in torpedoes, and the use of this
later invention by which balloons car
he propelled and steered in any di
rection, bid fair to work consider
able revolution on both land and SEES
in the science OF warfare as hereto
fore understood and practiced.

DAY DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, August l6.-Gen. Chris
topher C. Augur tretiredl, U. s. A., was
shot three times about | o'clock this
morning at his residence by negro
named VIM. Pope. His wounds will
not prove serious, although he may be
confined to his room for some time. To-
day he was resting quietly. Pope and
another colored man were standing in
front Of the Generals residence using
profane aud obscene language. when he
opened his door and ordered them away.
The only response he received was vol
lev of profane abuse and coarse epithets.
This was more than he could stand, and
armed with light cane he rushed upon
the two men and struck one sharp
blow over the head. As he did so the
negro drew pistol and fired, the ball
striking Gen. Augur in the light leg.
Two more shots were fired. one OF which
struck the General in the left leg and
the other in the side. The negro who
fired the shots is a notorious character
who has already served term IN the
penitentiary for murder. lie has been
arrested
