WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... JUNE 29, 1878. The Ventura Signal says that some of the redwood piles which were used in repairing the wharf, and which were driven into the water large end down, have sprouted and put forth green branches. Pine trees growing in salt water is a curiosity. The San Francisco Post is authority for the statement that the Southern Pacific Railroad will on the first of September place 2,000 laborers at work on the Gila Valley, east of Yuma, and push the line of that road forward 191 miles to Maricopa Wells by the end of the present year. It may interest some of our readers to learn that the Hon. J. D. Cox, who is now prominent before the country as a member of the Petter Investigating Committee, is a brother of Kenyon Cox, of the firm of A.Guy Smith & Co. Mr. Cox is a member of Congress from Toledo, Ohio. He served with distinction through the war, and retired with the rank of Brigadier-General. He commanded the corps in which Professor Guinn served. The San Diego News-overcomes our objections to flooding the Colorado desert by suggesting that if the evil consequences pointed out by the Gazette last week, follow the completion of Wozencraft's scheme, the water could be run off the desert again and back to its natural channel. This would be a rather primitive way of testing the question. It is claimed by scientists that the denudation of forests will be followed by adisastrous decrease in the rainfall of the adjacent country; but the San Diego editor would scarcely venture to advise that the work of stripping the forests go on, and that if it is found that undesirable climatic changes result the forests could be replanted. The Silver Mines of Santa Rosa. Eds. Gazette:—The first discovery of silver, in the present Santa Rosa Mining District, was made by H. C. Purcell and G. F. Slankard, Aug. 5th, 1877. The district was organized Aug. 12th, 1877, by H. C. Purcell, Henry Cassida, Thomas Smith and G. F. Slankard. At a miner's meeting, Feb. 9th, 1878, the district was reorganized, the boundaries extended, the laws revised, and P. A. Clark elected recorder. The Western boundary takes in the Black Star Coal Mine. The eastern is the county line which here follows the crest of the Santa Ana mountains. Silverado is about five miles in an air line west of the San Bernardino county line. The mountain in which lies the principal lodes is just under the western shadow of the highest peak that we see in looking at the range lying south-eastwardly from Anaheim. In an air line it is probably twenty miles distant from our town. THE FIRST LODE DISCOVERED, Was the Southern Belle, The first location was made by Messrs. Purcell, Cassida, Smith and Slankard, the organizers of the district. The first extension on this lode was located by the Keystone Co.; the second by the Kimball Co., the third by the Pharez Co.; the fourth by the Bullion Co. The next discovery was THE GRAY BLACK LODE. The first location of 1500 feet is now owned by Messrs. Purcell, Slankard, A. E. Taylor, A. L. Gilbert and M. E. Taylor. The last two gentlemen named are the proprietors of the Fairview Store, at the Depot. Work is being pushed forward upon this ledge by old California miners. The rock shows increasing richness the further they penetrate on the ledge. Two assays of the rock have been made; the first showed $100 12 silver to the ton, the second $94. This location is in Pine Canyon, a side canyon entering the Madera a short distance west of Silverado. The first extension on this lode is the Blue Light, owned by Messrs. Harvey and Thistlewaite, of Anaheim, and Messrs. Dunlap and chandising and taken to the search of fortune. The outnumber all others in the Clark. DISTRICT RECORD. Has recorded sixty locations eight deeds of mining properties of mining interests. There in the District contains a post one hundred. The inhabitants question of petitioning and before the next election voting precinct. In my communications I obtained by careful observation reliable sources. It would express any decided opinion mine. The work of devotion but fairly commenced. So has progressed every indication of this being a rich mining area.

S. Allen, the temperance lecturer, seems to be an enthusiastic gentleman, and prone to give vent to his feelings by writing little notes to his friends, which, unfortunately, somehow or other get into the newspapers. This last epistle, dated from Westminster, we find in a Los Angeles exchange: The Sabbath has passed, and was a day long to be remembered. All the churches joined. They paid me $70 cash, and voted me to stay through the week and over the next Sabbath. It was a cloud of blue ribbon. Over 1000 people present. The roads were lined with teams. Everybody says this is the biggest and best thing ever in town. I am engaged to deliver the oration for the Fourth. We celebrate in the tent. "Glory hallelujah." The editor of the Troy Budget, McArthur by name, visited this county some time ago. He is rather gullible, for an editor, and the b'hoys were not long in finding it out. In fact, they "stuffed" him. He writes to his paper that it is the fashion in this county to picket horned toads to the doors of dwellings to kill off flies and other insects. He says: Each toad was attached to a picket by a string tied around its leg after the manner of a picketed horse in a pasture. The horned toad is a native of California, is of the lizard species, is covered with an armor of sharp bony spurs or rivet heads, like an alligator, and, though exceedingly ugly to the sight, is harmless. It is a common thing in California to picket horned toads by the leg and use them as fly and insect exterminators. It is noted as a curious fact that the water in the Santa Ana river is now greatly less in volume than during years when the rainfall was much less than the past season. In 1874, when the rainfall was five inches less than the fall this year, the river was quite high during the months of May and June—so high indeed, that at the usual fording place near Burruel's, several of the teams of a May-Day picnic party were "stalled." At the same point there is now little, if any, water. Mr. Guinn's theory in regard to the matter is that the rains of the past winter all came from the west, and before they reached the mountains were dissipated or fell very lightly. As the river derives its greatest volume from the mountains, the explanation seems to be a correct one. That the rainfall was greatest along the coast, and decreased as it traversed into the interior, is well known. As an instance in point it may be mentioned that at Westminster over twenty-two inches of rain fell, and in Anaheim seventeen and one-half—a difference of five inches in as many miles. A. L. Gilbert and M. E. Taylor. The last two gentlemen named are the proprietors of the Fairview Store, at the Depot. Work is being pushed forward upon this ledge by old California minera. The rock shows increasing richness further they penetrate on the ledge. Two assays of the rock have been made; the first showed $100 12 silver to the ton, the second $94. This location is in Pine Canyon, a side canyon entering the Madera a short distance west of Silverado. The first extension on this lode is the Blue Light, owned by Messrs. Harvey and Thistlewaite, of Anaheim, and Messrs. Dunlap and Flannigan of Los Angeles. Harvey & Company's mine is located near the summit of Galena mountain, and is at least a thousand feet above the valley of the Madera. A number of assays have been made of the ore from this mine. The assays ranged from $289 to $350 per ton. The company shipped up two tons of rock to San Francisco and had it crushed. This working test gave an average of $200 per ton. Harvey & Co. are pushing work vigorously on their mine. They have made a trail from the Madera up the mountain to their mine, and have A TRAIN OF TWENTY DONKEYS Packing ore down the mountains. It is a novel and amusing sight to see these long eared little fellows, each with two sacks of ore of a hundred pounds each lashed to a pack saddle on his back, picking their way down the mountain. The trail is narrow and steep; in many places a misstep would send the donkey and his load whirling over and down the almost perpendicular side of the mountain into the narrow gulch hundreds of feet below. The donkey is as sure footed as a squirrel, and whatever may be his faults and failings, tumbling down mountains is not one of them. Harvey & Co. have about one hundred tons of ore sacked and ready for shipment. The second extension south on this lode, The Gray Back, is owned by Dunlap & Co., the third south, by Flannigan & Co., and the fourth extension south, The Elith, owned by Wenger & Granet. The extensions north on this lode are as follows: first, The Mountain View, Sears Company; second, The Sunday Bell, Angle Company; third, The Orion, Orion Harvey, owner; fourth, Providencia, Ramirez Co.; fifth, Confidencia, Ramirez Co. Work has been commenced on THE OPHIR LODE And a tunnel driven about twenty-five feet. Indications are good. An assay of surface rock from this lode gave $57 per ton silver. The first location on this lode is held by the Fairview Co.; the first extension north by the Alpha Co.; first south by the Warwick Co.; the second south by the Company. GALENA LODE: First location Pullen Co.; first extension north, Emma Co.; second north, Guinan Co. Surface rock from this lode assayed $40 per ton.

Anderson, of Orange, has been talking up his tannery project during the past week, and has met with much encouragement from the citizens of Anaheim. It is proposed to establish the factory within the town limits, using horse-power until it is clearly demonstrated to the stockholders that the investment is a good one and that the employment of steam power would add to the capabilities and profits of the concern. Mr. Seibert has given permission to use the parlors of the bank on Monday evening for the purpose of holding a meeting, at which Mr. Anderson will unfold his plans and submit them to those present. All citizens interested in the welfare, growth and supremacy of this community should endeavor to be present at this meeting. If we fail to take advantage of this opportunity to secure a business, which will undoubtedly be the nucleus of a great enterprise, there are other communities which will eagerly accept and foster that which we indifferently spurn and neglect. Remember the meeting will be held in the parlors of the Bank of Anaheim, on Monday evening at 8 o'clock, and that your presence is respectfully invited. Ex-Attorney-General Taft, of Cincinnati, deprecates a third term, yet such an occurrence appears to him now as one of the apparent certainties of the future. According to a reporter of The Cincinnati Enquirer, Judge Taft thought the heartiness of the welcome given to Grant's name in the Ohio Convention was in strange contrast to the efforts made to secure an endorsement of President Hayes. The New York Tribune sent out a lot of reporters to join the Communistic organizations of that city, to ascertain their strength. They did join, and have reported to the effect that the organized "Reds," who have their headquarters there, number only about 1800 persons, and, therefore, that no danger is to be apprehended from them. chandising and taken to the pick and shovel in search of fortune. The Anaheim people outnumber all others in the mines. Mr. Clark, DISTRICT RECORDER. Has recorded sixty locations, two mill sites, eight deeds of mining property, and ten transfers of mining interests. The area embraced in the District contains a population of about one hundred. The inhabitants are agitating the question of petitioning for a postoffice; and before the next election they will ask for a voting precinct. In my communications I have given facts obtained by careful observation and from reliable sources. It would be premature to express any decided opinion now about these mines. The work of developing them has but fairly commenced. So far as this work has progressed every indication gives promise of this being a rich mining district. J. M. Guinn. Anaheim, June 25th, 1878. A Chapter on Wine. Correspondence of the Express. Los Angeles county is peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of grapes. Other fruits are grown here with more or less profit, but years of labor must be given before reaping the rewards of labor thus expended. Grape cuttings will bear the second year after planting, and will yield a fair crop the third year. The discouraging prices paid for grapes has hitherto caused many vineyards to be torn up. Others would gladly go out of the business but for the expense of tearing up their vineyards. The old Mission grape that has so long been grown here, may have answered the purpose for which it was intended by the Mission Fathers, but it will not make wine or brandy that will pass even for ordinary in the Eastern markets, hence there is no demand for it and never can be. In Napa and Sonoma valleys the Mission grape is not used in the manufacture of wines. In the few vineyards left of that character the wines are used with the pulp of the wine grape for the manufacture of high wines or grape almonds. oh's vintage but his efforts were a failure and he returned to Germany disconsolate. Owing to the peculiarity of the grape and climate the wine requires peculiar treatment here, the secret of which only very few have yet learned, but those who have made this a study, and succeeded in their efforts, now find a ready market for their new wine and a most profitable investment for their small capital. Strange Food. Having been bound up in Paris during the siege, the editor of the London Truth ought to know something about the taste of the meat of the various kinds of animals which were then used for human food. A shop for the sale of horseflesh having been recently opened in London, he writes, apropos of it: A contemporary calls upon me to give my experience of horseflesh. It is third-rate beef; it cannot be said to have a disagreeable taste, for it has no taste at all. Donkey, on the other hand, is delicious, and infinitely better eating than beef or mutton. This French soon discovered during the siege of Paris, for a "portion" of donkey coat six times as much as a "portion" of horse. Cats taste exactly like rabbits; it is impossible to distinguish between them. The objection to rats is that when cooked their flesh is gritty. This objection, however, is somewhat epicurean, for except for its grittiness, they are a wholesome and excellent article of food. I am surprised that there is not a society for the promotion of eating rats. Why should not prisoners be fed with these nourishing and prolific little animals? Now, the writer having been "bound up" in Paris also, during the siege, may be allowed to express an opinion. He consumed a fair share of horse flesh, no donkey, but any amount of cats and dogs. He found horse flesh—that of army horses at least—to have a strong taste, something like venison eaten British fashion, only stronger and coarser. Cats do taste like rabbits, especially when young, and are more succulent, but dogs, as a rule, are somewhat stronger. Rats were generally served up during the siege, in restaurants, as salmii of "game," and guests did not know what they were eating. The "game" was caught in the sewers by baiting an ordinary fish hook with a bit of... Others would gladly go out of the business but for the expense of tearing up their vineyards. The old Mission grape that has so long been grown here, may have answered the purpose for which it was intended by the Mission Fathers, but it will not make wine or brandy that will pass even for ordinary in the Eastern markets, hence there is no demand for it and never can be. In Napa and Sonoma valleys the Mission grape is not used in the manufacture of wines. In the few vineyards left of that character the wines are used with the pulp of the wine grape for the manufacture of high-wines or grape alcohol, which by rectification and re-distillation is transformed into "French spirits," and is used to "body" the lighter grades of wine. It is also sold on the market as "brandy," without intending, however, to offend the nasal organs or the pallet of the epireme. It is from those same Mission grapes that we make both our wines and brandy in Los Angeles county, and it seems marvelous that even partial success could have attended those who have hitherto embarked in the enterprise. Throughout Europe certain species of grapes are cultivated for certain classes of wine and they are used solely for that purpose. True, the wine sometimes fails to ripen evenly, in which event it is doctored up with flavoring extracts and shipped to the American market as "French wine." This is the "very fine" article we find in the usual barrooms throughout the American Continent. The European wine-makers are especially particular in the picking and culling of the grapes before being placed in the press. This I regret to say is not the case in this county. In Napa and Sonoma the wine men have a sort of patent arrangement for separating the stems and leaves from the grapes, and it meets with partial success, but the hand alone can do so perfectly. The high price of labor, compared with European labor, together with discouraging prices for our wine, has forbidden manual labor for this purpose; but the time is near at hand when enterprising men can be found to surmount every difficulty, and instead of getting wines from France, Los Angeles county will be shipping them there. There is one peculiarity in the wines made in Los Angeles county over all those made in other portions of the State; they need no "support," there is alcohol enough in the grape to prime it for all time. This is not the case with European wines, which require "bodying." I doubt if there is a single cask of wine shipped across the English Channel or Atlantic Ocean that is not "bodied," that is to say, charged with a certain amount of alcohol, to keep the wine from turning vinegar. Most wines made in Napa and Sonoma counties require "support," and many of the wine-growers in both valleys ruin their wine by "bodying" it with horrible brandy made from the Mission grape, which could so readily be obviated by re-distillation and re-distillation. It is hardly possible to estimate the great advantage a wine-maker has who need not body his wine over those who must do so. The wine not bodied is easier managed, and obtains the additional expense of bodying. Attention, Barbers!
