The Oxarart Estate.

The Oxarart estate is another of the
possessions left by rich Californians,
supposed bachelors, which is destined
to enrich some OF the lawyers more or
less. So far as was publicly known
CASTOR Oxarart lived and died unmar-
ried. But before he was well cold
in his grave comes forward an alleged
wife. This was duly noted in
the HERALD of yesterday. Be-
fore night, came forward an
alleged son of the dead Dives. He
alleges that he is son of Oxarart by
the woman who claims to be his widow.
Messrs. Brousseau x Hatch were APP
pointed by the Court as guardians
ad Item of the heir.
The story in brief is this: Some
sixteen years ago their lived on
Bath street native California
family whose name the reporter did
not learn. 0ne of the members OF the
family was daughter, whose Christian
name was Bonita. With her 0xarart
became intimate and in due course Of
time son was born. He was baptized
Francisco, and the names of his parents
were kept private for obvious reasons.
The intimacy continued for some years
after the birth, but always against the
protests and even more active OPP
position of the girls mother.
As years passed and no priest was called
ia to hallow the union, the mothers OBJ
jections became more and more positive.
This had so much effect on Bonita that
she is alleged to have threatened to
break off the relations existing between
her and Oxarart. This was so far
against his wishes that he, on
certain occasion, told Bonita
that it was not necessary to
go into any formal public ceremony of
marriage, that parole contract was
sufficient. Then and there the contract
was made and he acknowledged the
woman as his lawful wife. After this a
second son was born who subsequently
died. CASTOR Oxarart continued to live
with Bonita until some six years
ago when she found he had
too intimate relations with another wo-
man, and after that she refused to have
anything to do with Oxarart.
As to the boy it is alleged that Oxarart
legitimatized him and acknowledged him
as his son. This is said to be well
known to many neighbors, and that at
one time Oxarart tried to get the boy
sent to France to be educated. These
facts are an outline of the claims on
which the suits are based. Mother and
child claim wife's and a sons interest
in the estate, aud ask the courts to set
aside the will made to Simon F. Gless.

THE RESERVOIR SCHEME.
Engineers at work-A Promising
Outlook.

A party of engineers, six in number,
arrived in town on Saturday and pro
ceeded on Monday to Hernet Valley to
make a survey of that locality for res.
ervoir purposes. We learn that their
instructions are 10 make thorough
and exhaustive examination of the
valley. Their report will be awaited
with great interest. If it is favor
able to the construction of a reservoir
in that locality, for the purpose of ir.
rigating several thousand acres of mesa
land adjoining San Jacinto, which has
already been contracted for, Los An.
geles company will take hold of the
scheme and push it rapidly thro gh to
completion. The management of such
a gigantic enterprise would result in q
large expenditure of money in our
midst, besides creating an active de-
mand for labor and supplies, and
if the water can be brought down,
our mesa lands will blossom like
the rose and rival in produc ,iveness the
choicest agricultural lands of our golden
State. We are informed that the scheme
contemplates the delivery Of the water
on the plains, under pressure sufficient
to move and operate all kinds OF ma.
chinery including flour mill and dina.
mos for generating electric light and
power. The Register will announce the
result as soon as the survey is completed,
which will be in about three weeks.

"PygmaiiOn and Gaiatea.".

Last light at the Grand Opera House
Miss Isabel Morris appeared in this
sparkling little conceit wherein the cele.
brated story of the Greek sculptor
working an image of great beauty out
of cold marble was permitted by the
gods to give the stone life. Tho play is
well known to all playgoers, and is much
admired whenevar it is properly pre-
sented. The graceful and picturesque
costumes of the anoients appeared very
pleasing and bright to .he eyes of the
modern world. The dialogue is full of
sparkle and fun, with good deal
OF the pathetic thrown in. Miss
Morris and MIR. Edmonds play
ed the title roles very well.
The lady's voice is full of pathos,
her enunciation is clear and her manner
was charming in all the naivete charac.
teristic of the girl "born yesterday" with
all the mature faculties OF twenty years,
and lacking only experience. Miss Oar
ragh appeared to very good advantage
as Cynisca, the wife of Pygmalion, and
Mira. Edmonds and Mr.. Geo. X. Caine as
Chrysos, patron of art, and his wife, in
makeup and business were something
decidedly funny. They kept the house
in roar all through the principal act
where they appear.

Mr.. James Noel, who is practical
miner of twenty years experience and a
mine owner to quite an extent in various
districts, has recently visited the Cali 60
mining district and and made q careful
examination of the mines. He gives it
rs the opinion of a miner Of experience
that the mines of Calico give evidence
of being the most durable on the Pacific
coast and that hundred years hence
they will DO yielding as much silver as
at present. The body of silver in that
district has hundred arms and limbs
that will make the yield constant for
ages. He says the Orc Grande Compa.
ny, which owns the King, Waterloo and
other mines, finds that fifteen men can
take enough rich ore from the Waterloo
to keep fifteen stamp-mill running, so
that there is no use in putting on any
more force until their forty stamp-mill
is ready to work. Many other mines he
examined critically and finds them ex-
ceedingly large aud rich. He pronounces
Calico the best mining camp on the Pa
cific cnast

years steadily decreased to make way for
