EUREKA MATTERs.
United States Deputy Marshal Bush
came up from Eureka this morning,
and will return In n few days. He
says that seven deputies are now kept
there steadily. Occasional disturb.
ances show that matters are not fully
settled. The rioters arrested and taken
TO Nephi for breaking In the windows
and battering Gardner's house, last Sat
uaday night, have returned. OF eight
assailants arrested, six were permitted
TO 10 AZ liberty, while the remaining
two, Patrick Sullivan and Frank
Towney, pleaded guilty and were lot
OIL with a fine OF 81 each and costs,
amounting 10 sl25. Everything In
Eureka Is peaceful Mt present, but u
good deal OF III feeling between thu
two factions has been engendered by
the recent disturbance.
SUIT AFFECTING A MILLION ACRES.
Information comes from Santa Ana,
California, that on Wednesday com.
plant was filed with the county clerk
OF Orange county, In Que OF the big
gest lawsuits ever instituted In South
ern California. Tho action was brought
by the Anahsini- 49, Union Wats,
company and the Santa Ana
Valley Irrigation company, to restrain
the Jurupa Land and Water company
and l4v other defendants from using
water out OF the Santa Ana river, for
Irrigation or other purposes. In South.
ern California water IL king, 10 that
something OF the great Importance OF
the case may be- imagined when IL II
known that this action affects almost
1000, 600 acres OF land, large portion
Of which IL In n high state Uf cultiva.
ton and which IL practically useless
without the magic touch OF irrigation.
The river furnishes water Tor irriga.
ton for thousands Of acres OF orange.
groves OF Riverside and the immedi.
ate vicinity, and II IL likely that
that locality will make u bitter
hght against any proposition having u
tendency 10 deprive IL OF Its present
abundant water supply. IL all the
petitions In the complaint should be
granted, Thousands Of acres OF oranges
and lemons In Riverside aud San
Bernardlno counties would wither
away and die for want OF moisture,
There Ia but little likelihood, however,
OF this happening, at least for a num-
Der OF years, for from the present indi.
cations the case IA likely to be In the
courts for the next eight or ton years.
The lands contiguous to the Santa
Ana river and which are affected by
the suit, are the old Spanish grants
known M Rancho Canyon de Santa
Ana, San Juan CUon de Santa Ana
and Santiago dc Santa Ana, c0mpris-
ing in all about l,0O0,000 acres or
more OF the choicest portion Of South.
ern California.
GOLD SEEKERS DEPART.
The steamship Monowai sailed from
San Francisco bay yesterday, May
18th. On board the vessel WAS novel
company OF gold seekers, bound Tor
the new and, II Is claimed, rich fields
in British New Guinea. Tho party
was headed by Joseph McCaulay, who
had been there before, and Ia credited
with having been very successful Ia
mining In that distant region. Nc
Caulay IN an old Californian, and In
the old days mined In many different
places on the coast. Michael Surley,
OF Chile Gulcb, Calaveras county, J.
Grogan, n California anu Idaho miner,
OK Manager Houko OF the Oakland
waterwerks and some others mako up
the company. They took along COM
plete hydraulic machinery and AZ
anu on their arrival In sgd.
ney will have two other hydraulic
made there. Then they viii
push forward to Cooktown, North
q Queensland, and from there sail for the
new fields. They expect 10 be gone
tour years, and IN that time get ali the
gold they want. Cup To this time only
iour white men have penetrated these
fields" said Mr.. MoCaulay, In con-
veration the day before starting, "and
candidly believe they will prove fully
the equal Of California In tho palmiest
days. In fact | believe they will be
better. We will nil DO In partnership
together, and having our hydraulics,
think we will get out lots OF gold.
Hitherto In British New Guinea only
The pick aud an have been used.
Nothing In tho shape OF modern APP
paratus has been introduced there. AZ
Tor the csnnibals, do not anticipate
any trouble there. II you 10
a little way into the interior OF
course you must look out. 1t Is
dangerous there, and the natives will
XIII and eat white man the moment
hey set eyes ON him. McGregor, the
English governor, IL, however, able
10 protect white men anywhere along
The shore. he keeps vessels cruising
around oil the time" Much interest
