THOSE ARCHIVES.
FORBES HAS GOT SIX BOOKS FROM
THE COUNTY.
Ex-Mayor Stephen C. Foster Tells the
Story of the Claim to the Books-One
Surveyor General Had Them.

In the matter of the demand for some
of the old city archives made by j..
Alexander Forbes, a representative OF
the surveyor-general's Office, Stephen
G. Foster, the first American alcalde OF
Los Angeles in 184S and 1849, and alter
ward the first mayor OF the city, said
yesterday: Under the Mexican regime,
the records of judicial proceedings and
municipal matters were kept In the
same Office and by the same secretary.
When the county and city governments
were established in 1850, the judicial
records were separated and were turned
over to the county clerk and the re-
corder. The municipal records were
transferred to the keeping OF the
mayor and council. In 1893,
the United States surveyor-general
for California demanded that all the old
be taken to his office in San Francisco,
dence could not be obtained among
them to defeat the famous Lemantour
claims which affected the greater por-
eio1 vi cdu IldHCiSCo. 1hC COuhpy ~
corder delivered all the old papers in his
office, and the mayor all those in his.
As an inducement for their delivery, the
late Maj. Henry Hancock, the survey
or-generaPs agent, promised that he
would separate all those belonging to
the city and county of Los Angeles, have
them bound at the expense OF the
United States government, and return
them to their respective offices in Los
Angeles.
When council learned that the mayor
had delivered the archives, in July,
1858. they passed resolution protest.
ing against the action of the surveyor
general for carrying off said municipal
archives, and censuring the mayor for
his action. In November, 1858, there is
an entry in the records of the council,
showing that the mayor reported that
the surveyor-general had returned the
city archives in three bound volumes,
with some loose papers, which were not
worth binding. Those volumes are the
ones which Mr.. j Alexander Forbes now
claims. Volume contains grants of
city lands to certain individuals; III
contains the minutes of the old Spanish
council, and Ill contains two censuses
OF the city of Los Angeles and the mu-
nicipal accounts of moneys received and
expended.
Fifteen volumes at the same time
were returned to the county clerk and
recorder. Mr.. Forbes has already taken
away six OF them. They are records of
civil and criminal cases.

ARIZONA NOTES.
Prescott Courier.


Prospectors familiar with the Gladia-
tor mine, on the War Eagle ledge, thirty
five miles from Prescott, say it is won
derful piece of mining property. For
5000 feet the vein can be plainly traced
on the top of the ground, and rock from
any point on the surface of the ledge
runs 500. AS it is we'll established
fact that mines in this section increase
in extent and richness as depth is
reached, a few thousand spent in de-
veloping the War Eagle might bring
about wonderful results.
The Prospector.
John A. Duncan came in today from
his mines near lewiston. There are
several men at work sinking, and the
ore improves with depth. The mill
will start again in the near future. Mr..
Duncan states that the concentrators
work to perfection. The roller mill as
now constructed is not practical. The
defect will, however, be remedied by q
new device now in course OF construc'
ton by the patentee of the process.

THE JUDGES FURNITURE.
THE SUPERVISORS INTRODUCE !
NEW COMPLICATION.
They Notify the Sheriff That They Will
Do the Furnishing Advertised
For-The Sheriff Waiting for Advice.

The board of supervisors has finally
turned loose on the question of furnish
ing Judge Wade's new court room, and
further complicated matters by an order
passed yesterday which read as follows:
Ed Gibson, Sheriff of Los Angeles county,
CAL
SIR:-You are hereby notified that at
regular meeting of the board of super
visors of Los Angeles county, California,
held on November 10, 1891, the follow
ing resolution was by unanimous vote
adopted:
Whereas, 1t is reported in the Los
Angeles city papers that Judge Wade,
superior Judge of Los Angeles county,
has ordered the sheriff of Los Angeles
county to furnish the court room in the
top story of the new court house now
being finished and designed for court in
department three, now therefore, be it
Resolved, That the clerk of this
board be and he is hereby instructed to
notify the said sheriff that this board
has always stood ready and has fully in
tended, and still is ready, and fully in
tends to furnish the said court room
with ample and suitable furniture for
said court room, and will place the same
therein as soon as the said room is
ready for occupancy, said notice to be
given by service of copy of this reso-
luton. Respectfully,
7. H. WARD. Clerk.
BY HENRY S. KNAPP, Deputy.
The order was served on Sheriff Glib
son by Mr.. Knapp shortly after 5 O'Clock.
Mr.. Gibson was seen by a HERALD re-
porter and asked what he would do in
the matter. He replied that nothing
would be done until he consulted his
attorneys, and would give no opinion as
to his duty until he has seen them.
The sheriff is between two fires, and
it is puzzler as to which way to jump.
He has the order of court which he is
bound to obey, when along comes the
notification from the supervisors that
they are about 10 take action regarding
the furnishing of the room which he
has been ordered to furnish.
Bids are now being advertised for by
the board in accordance with an order
passed yesterday, and this indicates that
no attention will be paid to the claim Of
the Los Angeles Furniture company
that no other concern can put furniture
in the building.
The matter will likely be adjusted to
the satisfaction of all concerned within
few days.

coast, dealt out sparingly and at loug in
tervals, so long in fact, that large part
of the work was wasted, thus creating
expense that sufficient appropriation
would have avoided. There have been
mall thirteen appropriations, scattered
over about twenty-one years, which the
engineers in charge have utilized by in
creasing the depth of water on the bar
from eighteen inches in 1871, to sixteen
and one-half feet at present. Competent
engineers say that with from a half to
three quarters of a million of dollars in
lump the depth can be increased to
twenty feet at low tide; this, with three
miles OF water frontage in the inner bay
would give vessels OF large tonnage a
chance ef entering and discharging their
cargoes right on the cars.

AN ELUSIVE RAY.
WINE AND WOMEN TOO MUCH FOR
HIM.
An Account of the Flight of the South
ern Pacific Agent at San Bernardino.
What the Detectives Ascertained
About the Matter.

Edgar A. Ray, agent for the Southern
Pacific railroad at San Bernardino, has
absconded from that city with about
$500 of the railroad company's money.
He also deserted his wife, leaving moth
ing behind himpbut evidences of his in
fidelity. A member of Harry Morse's
detective agency, San Francisco, says
the Chronicle, was sent to San Bernar-
dino to obtain the facts in the case, and
to arrest Ray If he could be found. On
the night of November 4th Ray asked
McGee, the telegraph operator at the San
Bernardino Office, to drive with him to
Cotton, as he wished to send in report
from there. McGee hardly understood
why was it necessary for him to go
with Ray to Cotton, but consented.
When going outside he found Mrs. Effie
Ray in the carriage. All three went to
Cotton. When they arrived there the
San Francisco train was at Cotton about
to start. Ray called to his wife, saying,
"Effie, hurry up and get aboard. We
will take ride to Los Angeles" Ray
then told McGee to drive the team back
to San Bernardino, as he would be gone
two or three days. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray arrived in Los Angeles they took
rooms at lodging house for the night.
In the morning Ray, who had been ill
for some time, told his wife he was going
to the hospital for few days, and gave
her money to return to San Bernardino,
and a warrant for S84 due him from
the railroad company. Mrs. Ray cashed
the warrant on her return. When Satur-
day came there was no word OF Ray, but
two bills for coal, amounting to about
5000, for which the company had given
money to Ray to pay, were presented by
the coal company for payment. Investi-
CATION showed that Ray was further
short in his accounts about $500 for
tickets sold. A telegram to Los Angeles
showed that Ray had not been to the
hospital there. Then it was discovered
that Ray had been drinking heavily for
| two months, and had been going with
other women than his wife for at least
that time. Mrs. Ray found letters from
women, proving the infidelity of her
husband
Ray is an Englishman, 81 years Of age,
about 5 feet inches in height, and
weighs about 145 pounds. His eyes are
hazel and his hair brown. He has been
| i'll lately, and for that reason has a sal
low complexion. When he disappeared
he was smooth shaven. Ray was agent
| for the railroad at Tucson from 1885 to
| 1888, and at Santa Monica from 1888 to
| 1890.

EXCITEMENT AT WHITTIER.
Two Boys Play at Escaping and Cause
Scare.

There was great excitement among
the reform school officers and inmate son
Thursday on account of joke played by
two of the boys, who wished to show
how easily they could escape if they
wished.
They were taken to the College Hill
reservoir site to assist in loading gravel,
and while their custodian was engaged
in rolling a cigarette they slipped up the
hill to small hole not visible from the
reservoir bank, and hid. When they
were missed, word was taken to the
school and there was mounting in hot
haste. Assistant Superintendent Davis
and Engineer Virgins were soon gallop-
ing madly in all directions, and after a
great stir and view halloo, the boys
were found summing themselves on the

A Long Beach correspondent furnishes

Some twenty years ago the govern

the improvement of Wilmington harbor.
In 1871 the depth of water on the bar
was eighteen inches, when the govern
ment made a small appropriation, and
placed Colonel Alexander in charge of
the work. A breakwater was built as
far as the funds reached, which in
creasd the depth to seven feet on the
bar; here it stood waiting the means to
push the work ahead, which the gov
