The Search—The Discovery—Further Operations—The Mines and Their Owners—The Location and How to Get There—General Remarks Wise and Otherwise. In the early part of the present year, a party of gentlemen, residents of Anaheim, who believed that in the mountain ranges, lying to the north and east, there existed rich mineral deposits, as yet undiscovered and only awaiting a diligent search to richly reward the enterprising adventurer, fitted out and equipped D. G. Chilson, an old frontiersman, for the purpose of demonstrating the truth of their belief. Starting at the footshills of the Santa Ana mountains, he shaped his course across this range, over the bleak and rugged peaks of the San Jacinto and thence to the sum immediate vicinity of the mines is an abundance of pine and oak, suitable for fire-wood. Numerous springs furnish an ample supply of water, not only for personal use, but in sufficiently large quantity to operate all machinery that may be requisite to extract the precious metal. GENERAL REMARKS. The geographical situation and geological formation of the district present favorable indications of the existence of "pay-rock" to the mining sharp. It is in the same range of mountains as the Ivanpah district, and forms a portion of the great argentiferous belt extending thence northward. The hanging walls of the leads, at present being prospected, are composed of limestone, and the foot walls of talcose slate. The ore which has been taken out only a few feet from the surface, is rich in metal almost beyond belief. Altogether nature and practical science combine to point out to the miner a locality, which, when properly prospected, will yield to no other in the richness and extent of its mineral deposits. The development of this district has been made in a manner, totally unlike the usual California style, and which undoubtedly reflects great credit upon the prudence and good sense of the discoverers. Proceed cautiously, step by step, every means was used to demonstrate, if possible, the fallacy of their hopes, and it was not, until after a critical thermometric metrical Revision.

G. Chilson, an old frontiersman, for the purpose of demonstrating the truth of their belief. Starting at the footshills of the Santa Ana mountains, he shaped his course across this range, over the bleak and rugged peaks of the San Jacinto, and thence to the summit of the San Bernardino range, exploring and prospecting the ground thoroughly as he progressed onward. It was not, however, until descending the northern slopes of San Bernardino, and as the further limit of the mineral section was plainly in view, that any indication of mineral deposits, sufficiently extensive to prove valuable, was found. Just as hope was giving place to despair, THE DISCOVERY Was made. Returning at once to Anaheim with specimens of the ore. Mr. Chilson was furnished with men and means to make a thorough investigation of the supposed ledges. Three tons of the rock were sent to San Francisco and subjected to a critical working test. The result exceeded the expectation of the most sanguine of the party. One lot of rock, weighing one and one half tons, yielded $625 in silver and $360 in gold. The other lot of the same weight yielded $76 silver and 60 per cent lead. Convinced by these tests that a rich strike had been made, the parties interested took immediate steps to reap advantage from the favors which fortune had bestowed upon them. THE ARLINGTON MINING DISTRICT Was created and before making known the discovery to the public, locations were made on some ten or twelve different ledges. The most promising ledge is the Fairfax, a vein of silver quartz owned by the Virginia Mining Company of Anaheim. It is two and one-half feet wide, twenty feet below the surface, and widening as it goes down. Another lead, owned by the same company, is the Red Oxyd (argentiferous galena). The pros- The development of this district has been made in a manner, totally unlike the usual California style, and which undoubtedly reflects great credit upon the prudence and good sense of the discoverers. Proceed cautiously, step by step, every means was used to demonstrate if possible, the fallacy of their hopes, and it was not, until after a critical examination had proved the actual existence of the precious metal in large paying quantities, that the venture was thrown open to the public. To the great energy and enterprise displayed by J. E. Bryan of this place, the future success of the district may be attributed At times almost alone in his faith in the favorable prospect ahead, he encouraged the faint-hearted ones of the party—the capitalists, and enthusiastically devoted his time and means to a practical demonstration of the value of their find. MINING DISCOVERY NEAR RIVERSIDE.—Al Rodgers, of San Bernardino, is in Los Angeles with ore from his mine, about 18 miles from the town of San Bernardino. We saw a specimen of the rock, which is very rich in silver and gold, and is said to assay away up in the thousands. On Saturday and Monday evenings, the people of Riverside held a meeting and formed a mining district, to be known as the Riverside mining district, and made laws for the governance of the same, and in conformity with the United States laws. A large turnout of the citizens of Riverside, with women and children, in carriages, held a picnic on the mining grounds, on Saturday last. There was great rejoicing over the success of the prospectors, because the mines are so near to Riverside, being within 8 miles of the settlement. Frick and Noble with Jo. Voshay are in the Morongo Pass, at twenty-nine Palms. They are running two arastras and putting up six others. Their mines are exceedingly rich. There are fifteen ledges in the district, and the ore runs up to $500 to locations were made on some ten or twelve different ledges. The most promising ledge is the Fairfax, a vein of silver quartz owned by the Virginia Mining Company of Anaheim. It is two and one-half feet wide, twenty feet below the surface, and widening as it goes down. Another lead, owned by the same company, is the Red Oxyd (argentiferous galena). The prospect-shafts of the Cosmopolitan Mining Company also promise well, although not enough work has been done by them to afford definite results. Oliver Smith & Co., of Oakland, have located the extension of the Fairfax and have sent out a party to commence active operations. The district is located on the northern side of the San Bernardino mountains, about twenty-five miles east of Holcombe Valley. The deposits of ore are found on the slope of the mountain about 1500 feet above the level of the desert, or about 8,000 feet above the sea level. THE ROUTE To be followed from Anaheim is through the Cajon Pass to Brown's crossing of the Mojave river, thence to Rabbit Springs, and thence twenty miles in a south-easterly direction to the mines. The distance from Anaheim is between one hundred and one hundred and twenty miles; over a good road, with stations at convenient distances. WOOD AND WATER FACILITIES High up on the slope of the mountain are numerous forests on large timber, conveniently located for building purposes, whilst in the last there was great repelling over the success of the prospectors, because the mines are so near to Riverside, being within 8 miles of the settlement. Frick and Noble with Jo. Voshay are in the Morongo Pass, at twenty nine Palms. They are running two arastras and putting up six others. Their mines are exceedingly rich. There are fifteen ledges in the district, and the ore runs up to $500 to the ton.—Star. COMMENCED WORK.—The work of excavating for the foundation of the Odd-Fellows Hall was commenced on Thursday. It is intended to have a cellar run the whole length and breadth of the building (30x76 feet). Its depth can not yet be ascertained, it depending altogether upon the formation of the soil, as it is their intention to stop when clay is reached, which will probably be in from seven to nine feet. Work at the brickyard is progressing favorably; one kilo of 450,000 brick has been prepared for burning, and the wood is being brought in from the mountains for that purpose. HEARD FROM.—A letter has been received from Don Juan Forster, dated at Liverpool, in which he states that his colonization scheme is meeting with great success. He expects to return home in about two months, bringing with him a colony of Hollanders to settle on the Santa Margarita Ranch. The co-operation of English capitalists has been secured in the scheme, and the settlement of the Santa Margarita is a decided fact. Thermometrical and Hygrometrical Record for May. We present below to our readers, our usual record of the wet and dry bulbs of the hygrometer, prepared by Mr. Francis S. Miles of this place. MAY, 1873. Taken at 8 a.m. 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Warm days have taken the place of the cool, braising spring temperature, characteristic of our climate during the winter months. There is one feature however, which is especially noticeable. By reference to the table, it will be seen that although the thermometer has ranged as high as 86°, the average temperature of each day is about 66°. This can be accounted for by the sea-breeze, which invariably arises at 12 o'clock and by the deliciously cool nights. There have been no Santa Ana winds during the past month.

Death of Thompson Hanna Mr. Thompson Hanna, whose death at Middletown, Ohio, at the age of 73 years, is elsewhere announced, resided, when a young man, in this city. He was engaged as a foreman in the American Paper Mill, which occupied the present site of the extensive steel works of Anderson, Woods & Co., and belonged to the late Henry Holdship. He was afterwards associated with Mr. Holdship in the ownership and management of the Clinton Paper Mill at Steubenville, O., of which establishment he subsequently became the sole owner, and carried on for several years but has been for some time past out of business and living at Middletown, where he died. We have had intimate acquaintance and much intercourse, both business and social, with Mr. Hanna, beginning in 1833 and continuing while he remained in business. We always found him to be a man of business industrious, skillful, accommodating and honorable. In private life he was a sincere Christian, of very gentle disposition and hospitable always ready to extend and reciprocate favors. It was impossible to know him well without esteeming him highly. Doctor Hanna and Dan, W. Hanna, of this city, are his sons; another son resides in California—Jno Hanna, of Anaheim—and we believe another in South America, and his only daughter, Mrs. Robert St. Clair in Cleveland, Ohio. We mingle our sympathies with theirs in the loss of their excellent father. —Pittsburg Gazette.
