Los Angeles Invention.

Col. T. w Brooks, of Pomona, min
ING expert and engineer of thirty odd
years experience, has been in this city
the past three days engaged in testing
the merits of dry gold washing ma
chine, and after a thorough trial of its
capability of separating extremely fine
gold dust from a quantity of black sand,
gravel, etc., which had been thoroughly
mixed, Col. Brooks pronounced the ma
chine grand success. And he further
says of the machine that for solidity,
durability and simplicity that it far sur
passes any of the numerous machines
which he has examined. The capacity
of the new machine is estimsted to be
six tons to one-man power, twelve tons
to two.man power, and forty eight tons
to one-horse power.
1t is stated that in due time the public
may have an opportunity of witnessing
the working of the Los Angeles dry
washing machine. Col. Brooks spoke
of various extensive gold placer fields
within our own county, and especially
of a vast territory rich in gold that Is
situated in New Mexico, and which had
in consequence of the immense deposit
of gold caused the expenditure of $780,
900 in an effort to conduct water to the
section, but owing to the limited supply
of water and iniudicious management
the company failed. This section with
ether deposits, including those within
the borders of Los Angelo, county,
namely; those of the San Gabriel river
and the San Antonio, by the aid of the
application OF the new dry washer well
may expect a new era in the history of
placer mining.

geles, and j. w. Waters. Jr., of San
Bernardino. as directors of the Sixth
District Agricultural Association for the
term of four years, to succeed them
selves, their terms Of Office having ex-

the fact that during the time of their
former dictatorship the association has
established character and standing and
is recognized substantial institution.
The position of director is an onerous

the association clear Of debt The care.

EDITOR HERALD:-Since the late rain
the weather here has been beautiful and
things generally are whooping up lively,
with the brightest prospect for crops
ever known in this section. The crop
Of oranges, lines and lemons Is turning
out much better than we expected, the
fruit being much better developed than
usual. The substantial results Of the
organization Of the Southern California
Orange Growers Association is already
being felt by our horticulturists.
The anii.Chinese petition to Congress
is being pretty generally signed, and the
determination II get rid Of Cinnamon
here is strongly Indicated by system
of determined boycotting. which will
raze them out in time.
Our baseball club left to-day for Santa

Yesterday afternoon, about two
O'Clock. four-horse team, belonging to
Mr.. s. K. Woodward, farmer living
about miles west of Compton and u
miles from this city, was in front Of the
Capitol Mills, on San Fernando street,
when l became frightened at some-
thing and went off like whirlwind up
the street, turning into Upper Main at
Cape Horn" The driver was new
man, recently from the East, and unac.
customed to the handling Of four horses,
or of the brakes on California wagons.
Under such circumstances there was lit
tie prospect Of handling the team. The
driver made up his mind that thus the
fact stood, and undertook to get out Of
the seat and leap to the ground. He
fell in front Of the wagon and one Of the
wheels passed over his leg. He sus-
tanned other severe wounds and was
badly denoralized. Bystanders picked
him up and bathed his wounds, while
DIR. Lindley was sent for. The Doctor
thinks there Is no serious damage done.
As for the team one of the wheelers,
q fine, large mare, fell and was dragged
from Cape Horn up in front of the fac.
tory of Fuller 4 Day, where the team
was stopped. An ugly cash was cut
under the fetlock of the poor
brute's hind feet just between hoof and
hair. She had second cut on her
flank where she was dragged over some
thing in the road. The harness on her
and on the other horses was badly
broken, and all the animals were more
or less cut and bruised.
This smash-up was hardly out of the
way when team attached to a spring
wagon ran away in the same vicinity,
and above the Cleveland House this ran
into second team tied by the curbing
and set that one off at as lively pace
as the horses were capable of. The
names of those who own the last teams
the HERALD failed to catch. But doubt
less most readers will be satisfied with
the runaway department as it stands for

Yesterday afternoon special freight
train Of the s. P. Co. was crawling
slowly over some of the cribbed up road
along the Tujunga Wash below San Fer
nando, about half the train passed over
safely and then eight cars went off the
track on the weak place. The south.
bound express was behind the wreck and
that bound north was at the depot here
on her way to San Francisco. The
question Of how to get over the diff
Guilty was solved by the two express
trains meeting at the wreck, transferring
passengers, baggage, mails and express
matter and going on their way. Before
night the wreck was removed and the
road repaired.

Yesterday Miss Lydia Bell closed her
first term as the Prof. OF Elocution at
the Ellis College. The exercises consist.
ed Of recital by members of the class,
and the pieces selected ranged through
the whole Evolutionary scale. To say
that the occasion was eminently credita-
BILE to both the teacher and her pupils,
would do it only scant justice. 1t was
so apparent that thorough work had
been done and remarkable progress
made, that at the close of the exercises
the applause, that from the beginning
had been hearty and spontaneous, broke
into expressions of delight and sdmira-
ton, and large addition to the class for
the next term was pledged on the spot.
