Southern Californian SATURDAY... AUG. 10.1872 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Letter from Westminster. Westminster, Aug. 9, 1872. Ed. Southern California. Perhaps the public would like to know something of the progress of matters and things in this colony. To tell the truth, we all began to feel pretty blue until the artesian wells proved successful. There are many here who believe in irrigation. Some tried to obtain water from the Anabeim ditches, but failed—from various causes. Others made ditches and tried to drain the laguna while a few tried to obtain water from artesian wells—which experiment has been very successful. The first well was sunk on the farm of Zac. McChesney: although flowing water was obtained the stream was not large enough to be of much use. The second well was sunk on the farm of Jesse Davis and was a complete success, the water flowing two inches over the top of a 7-inch pipe. Unfortunately, the pump got fastened in the pipe, near the bottom of the well, and in getting it out the pipe had to be drawn. He has since had the pipe put down in another place, and the second well is a complete success. Since wells have been sunk on the farms HOUGHTON RE-NOMINATED. The 4th District Congressional Convention assembled as Sacramento on the 2d inst., and on motion of Judge North of Riverside by acclamation nominated Hon S. O. Houghton, of Santa Clara, our present Representative in Congress, as its next candidate for the same position. J M Pierce, of San Diego, Chas. Silent, of San Jose, John Hopper of San Luis Obispo, W Williamson, of Santa Clara, T Adams, of Santa Cruz, and R M Shackellord of Monterey, were elected the Congressional Committee of the Fourth District. RAIN. — Summer showers seem to be in order this year. Last Monday night the air was filled with electricity, and lightning flashes were almost incessant. At 4 o'clock Tuesday morning rain set in and fell for an hour—part of the time in big pieces. About a quarter of an inch fell. It rained to about the same extent at Los Angeles, at about the same time, while at Los Nietos only a slight sprinkle occurred, as also at Santa Monica. Heavy thunder accompanied the storm. Judge Sepulveda informs us that this rain and the one which fell last month are peculiar to Mexico and have probably incidentally trayed this far North, out of their usual latitude. CHINESE DEVOTION. — The Chinese of much use. The second well was sunk on the farm of Jesse Davis and was a complete success, the water flowing two inches over the top of a 7-inch pipe. Unfortunately, the pump got fastened in the pipe, near the bottom of the well, and in getting it out the pipe had to be drawn. He has since had the pipe put down in another place, and the second well is a complete success. Since wells have been sunk on the farms of the following named gentlemen: Robt. McPherson, — Goldsworthy, Jesse Bowley, — Mack, Martin & Howe, — Rogers and Alvin McDowell. All these are not throwing water sufficient to be utilized. There are four sets of artesian well tools in the colony and three are now in use. Since the above was written three more wells have been completed in the colony, one on the farm of Mr. Buley, another at Mr. Napier's, and a third at Mr. J. McD. Moffatt's—all tolerably good wells. The well reported at Mr. Crittenden's as having been sunk by Mr. Putney is a mistake. Its success is probably due to Mr. P.'s advice, but the well was sunk by tools owned by the Westminster Well-Boring Company, under the charge of Mr. Wm. McPherson. More anon; C. Howe. SAVANNAH WELL.—The workmen recommenced operations on this well two weeks ago, and at a depth of 349 feet Wednesday night last struck a stream, which rises and flows over the top. They are now at work forcing the pipe down to cut off the quicksand, and when they get down to the gravel at the bottom of the quicksand, will probably get a much increased flow. At 330 feet they struck a bed of peat that was almost coal. Mr. Olden took a specimen into Los Angeles for examination. The success of this well proves the feasibility of obtaining flowing water in any part of this valley; it is only a question of depth. This well has cost the Land Co., about $1,500, and they deserve great credit for their perseverance in pushing it forward about the same time, while at Los Nietos only a slight sprinkle occurred, as also at Santa Monica. Heavy thunder accompanied the storm. Judge Sepulveda informs us that this rain and the one which fell last month are peculiar to Mexico and have probably incidentally trayed this far North, out of their usual latitude. CHINESE DEVOTION.—The Chinese of Los Angeles have been this week holding a grand feast for the spirits of their dead friends. We took a look into one of their dens on Negro Alley, last Monday evening, and saw enough to satisfy us that a dead Chinaman is never allowed to go hungry. The next day a procession was bad to their burying ground, accompanied with some tinpan music "to drive the Devil away." And if that music isn't enough to scare the Devil, we're no judge of it. No Eggs.—There is weeping and lamentation among the lovers of eggs. There are none in market and we are forced to do without. And to make the outrage all the more unbearable, we are informed that out in the country thousands of hens are standing around doing nothing. PRIVATE PARTY.—A very pleasant little social gathering occurred at the residence of Theo. Rimpau Esq., last Saturday evening. A number of the young people of Anaheim assembled, and enjoyed themselves until a late hour with dancing and a supper, pleasant conversation and social games. The Bright Side and Family Circle, which comes to us from the "Bright Side Company," Chicago, is the pleasantest little childs paper we know of. It is instructive, and will do the children good. Only 50 cents a year. LAND SALES.—Mr. Miles who, with his family lately came to the country from New York state, has just bought from the Land Co., 400 acres of land, adjoining Anaheim on the Northwest. At 350 feet they struck a bed of peat that was almost coal. Mr. Olden took a specimen into Los Angeles for examination. The success of this well proves the feasibility of obtaining flowing water in any part of this valley; it is only a question of depth. This well has cost the Land Co., about $1,500, and they deserve great credit for their perseverance in pushing it forward to success. SANTA ANA.—We have "boned" a friend for items, concerning this country, but he says, they are scarce. Nobody has been married, though some would like to be. The settlers on the San Joaquin Ranch held a meeting last Wednesday, at the Adobe station, and resolved to meet again next Monday. They have formed themselves into a league for mutual protection and to contest the claims of the "San Joaquin and Santiago grants." The props are generally good. A GREELEY CLUB.—A call for a meeting of those favorable to the election of the Liberal Reform and Democratic candidates at the November election, will appear in our next Saturday's issue, for the purpose of forming a Greeley and Brown club. BLOODED SHEEP.—Mr. E. W. Squirrel, of Santiago canyon, has just bought six more fine blooded bucks for the improvement of his flocks. Of these, three are thorough-bred Spanish Merino and the others are long wool grade sheep. The North Carolina election was held Aug. 1st; a liberal victory is claimed. LAND SALES.—Mr. Miles who, with his family lately came to the country from New York state, has just bought from the Land Co., 400 acres of land, adjoining Anaheim on the Northwest. LIBERATED.—Mr. Milne, who was last week sentenced by Judge Kobler to the county jail, for petit larceny, has been liberated on habeas corpus. PUBLIC SCHOOL.—The public schools of Anaheim, re-opened on Monday, after a long vacation There was, we learn, an attendance of about 100. NOT SUICIDALLY INCLINED.—Capt Beane publishes a card in the News indignantly disclaiming any intention of suicide in taking the morphine. THE CITY'S PORTION.—The assessed value of Los Angeles city is this year $4,450,000, or about nine twentieths of the whole county. THANKS.—Mrs Bittner will please accept our thanks, for a supply of the choiceest peaches we have seen this year. WELL BORING — Artesian well boring promptly and successfully done, upon application to A. F. Putney, Anaheim. GREELEY CLUB.—We understand that a Greeley and Brown club is about to be organized here.
