Theodore Wagner, United States Surveyor General for California, is now in this county for the purpose of examining and adjusting the disputed boundaries of old Mexican grants. His instructions from Secretary Schurz are to take especial pains to obtain reliable evidence regarding these boundary disputes, so as to enable the department to speedily dispose of such cases. Mr. Charles A. Gardner and family, of St. Helena, arrived in Anaheim on Saturday. Mr. Gardner will renew old acquaintances in this vicinity, take a trip to Silverado, and then proceed to Tucson, A. T., leaving his family to the care of Judge and Mrs. Clark. Mr. Gardner thinks he can put in ten or twelve months very profitably in Arizona; but we hope that he will find it convenient to return to Anaheim and stay here. Every farmer has heard of the San Francisco commission house of Littlefield, Webb & Co. As will be seen by the advertisement in another column, they have been succeeded by Spear, Meade & Co. The new firm is in every way reliable, and fully able to carry on the immense business bequeathed to them by their predecessors. Mr. H. S. Austin is their agent at Anaheim, and he will be happy to attend to the wants of the firm's patrons. One of the features of the excursion on last Sunday was the abundance of music furnished by the brass bands from Anaheim, Santa Ana and Los Angeles. On the platform of the new depot at Los Angeles each band played several airs for the edification of the immense throng, and the performances of the Anaheim band were enthusiastically praised. No less a personage than Professor Day, the leader of the late Musical Jubilee in Los Angeles, awarded the palm to the Anaheim band. He said that their instruments were much superior to the others, and that their performances showed more thorough training. WEEKLY CIM GA ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1878. The Death of Pablo Pryor. Mr. Richard Egan, of San Juan Capistrano, was in town last evening, and from him we learned the following in regard to the tragic death of Pablo Pryor: For some time past Mr. Pryor has been in the habit of taking an egg punch before retiring, as an antidote to a bad cold which he had contracted. He did not come home until late on Thursday evening, and his wife mixed the punch in a pitcher before she retired. When he came home it was so late that he went to bed without partaking of the punch. In the morning he asked his wife to mix him a drink. She did so, using the ingredients which she had mixed the night before. She brought it to his bedside, and after drinking some her remarked that it was bitter. His wife took the glass and tasted of its contents, and finding it bitter, she went into the adjoining room, where the pitcher which contained the punch was, and after tasting the mixture and finding that also bitter, she ordered a servant to throw it out. She then went on with the work of preparing breakfast, her husband in the meanwhile having fallen off into a dose. He was awakened by hearing his wife scream and fall. Their young son, seeing that his mother was sick, jumped on a horse and galloped off for a physician. About half a mile from the house he met Dr. Smith, of Downey City, who reached the house in a few moments and did everything which medical skill could suggest. In the case of Mrs. Pryor the treatment proved efficacious, but Mr. Pryor had absorbed too much of the SILVERADO. A VISIT TO THE NEW MINING CAMP. The Road from Anaheim—The architecture of Silverado described—What is being done at the various Mines—Anaheim's opportunity. ANAHEIM, August 1, 1878. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Your special correspondent started on Sunday morning with our friend M. for Silverado and the mines, about which there is so much excitement. With two lively horses from one of our stables, we got over the ground in a lively manner until we reached the first place which will attract the attention of any casual observer; then we didn't get along so fast. And this place is our dry, sandy river bed, across which our road leads us. We could not help reflecting upon Anaheim's well-known lack of enterprise. This is one of the worst pulls on the road, for a loaded team. An expenditure of about $20 would straw this place, and make it a good, solid road. We have in Anaheim some of the principal owners of the coal mine from which there are teams daily traveling this road, and it would no doubt eventually aid the merchants of our burg to HAVE A GOOD ROAD, And yet we have not taken this important step. It should have been done long ago, independent of the county. The next bad places on the road are met before entering the foothills—two very steep, cut-up hills, over which the road runs. I under- is to cut across the entire ledge and see of what it is composed. They have struck quite A STREAM OF WATER. Which percolates through the iron-containing rock, and makes a very fine iron water, good to drink. Work goes on steadily here, and you may expect daily to hear of their rich strike. The next mine is the "Blue Light," situated on the top of this mountain, about 1500 feet above town, and is on the main ledge of this district. Work is being very briskly pushed ahead. There are about 8 or 10 men employed, taking out ore, etc., and about 20 "burros" to pack it down to the mill site about two miles distant. It is an amusing sight to watch the packing of these small jacks. They come up in the morning about 9 o'clock, loaded often with water in 5-gallon kegs, and large square timbers used for tunnelling. Should you chance to meet them on your way down, you will have to show your manners and get out of their way. There is one thing they are not trained to: that is to give you the road. It is a splendid lesson to take the conceit out of one—this showing deference to a jack. Arrived up there, they are unpacked and loaded with ore. The ore is put in small COWSKIN BOXES, Hanging on each side, and holding each 100 pounds. The patience and humility exhibited by a well trained jack is astonishing, and would make a striking model to follow. Loaded, they receive a slight hint, in the way of a slight kick in the ribs, that they may go on their way rejoicing, and they depart. I always thought it was the jack that had a propensity for kicking, but it is all a mistake. It is the jack which gets kicked. In the "Blue Light" they are gradually getting down deeper on their ledge, and have also struck water, which must now run off. This is the best developed and best paying mine in the district, and the owners no doubt have a fortune. They are shipping Decided will be annual. Napa in the town, who held at certain Constitenent this Landanaheim of the D'Brien, desert, Los AnAugust days in Fare awarded for the stone is stone for Indian Anaheim before theresses are Angeles those who being line, died in job such that printing at Trustees us that with Mrs. the school when it the District comfortable gold neck Mrs. Morgallery, and the paid the photograph how to walk Schindler handle the with great number is on States Surow in this bog and ad- that also bitter, she ordered to throw it out. She then went on with the work of preparing breakfast, her husband in the meanwhile having fallen off into a dose. He was awakened by hearing his wife scream and fall. Their young son, seeing that his mother was sick, jumped on a horse and calloped of for a physician. About half a mile from the house he met Dr. Smith, of Downey City, who reached the house in a few moments and did everything which medical skill could suggest. In the case of Mrs. Pryor the treatment proved efficacious, but Mr. Pryor had absorbed too much of the poison, and it had become too thoroughly disseminated through his system for the remedies to be of avail. He died in about three-quarters of an hour after the physician's arrival. The day previous to the sad occurrence Mr. Pryor had been poisoning squirrels, dogs, etc., using strychnine. This was the kind of poison which Mr. and Mrs. Pryor partook of, but how it came in the pitcher is at present a mystery. When Mr. Pryor came home on Thursday evening, his wife told him she had heard footsteps in the room adjoning the one in which was the pitcher with the ingredients for the punch, but he laughed at her fears, and attributed them to nervousness. But it is now thought that the poison was placed in the pitcher by the person whose footsteps Mrs. Pryor heard. Nearly all the residents of San Juan believe there was foul play; but as the victim was a man much esteemed and without an enemy, it is impossible to fix the crime on any one. But murder will out. —Benton's squirrel poison seems to be more deadly in its effects upon human beings than upon animals. In company with the Board of Supervisors and others, Mr. Benton went to the Ballona on Friday to show his powers as a squirrel killer. He scattered his poison about liberally, and although it was devoured greedily enough, very few of the squirrels were killed. Mr. Benton attributed his failure to the poor quality of the prussic acid used in the preparation of his compound. On the evening of the day on which the experiment was made, Supervisor Young and family, of the Ballona, had a mess of doves for supper, which had been killed in the neighborhood during the day. Shortly after eating, Mr. Young became violently ill, his heart bumping against his breast with great force. Physicians were summoned, and it is now thought that he is out of danger. The other members of the family were also sick, but not seriously. It is thought that the doves had partaken of some of the poisoned grain scattered about during the day by Benton. It is evident that the utmost care should be exercised in the use of this poison.[And now comes the Express of last evening and spoils the above item by saying, on the authority of the physician, that it was heart disease, and not poison that caused Mr. Young's sickness.] —Mr. T. S. Grimshaw has recently added greatly to the mechanical appliances of his wagon shop. By the aid of his turning and sawing machinery, he expects soon to be able to manufacture and sell a farm wagon And yet we have not taken this important step. It should have been done long ago, independent of the county. The next bad places on the road are met before entering the foothills—two very steep, cut-up hills, over which the road runs. I understand a party of Anaheim gentlemen have viewed this and contemplate making a new road, to run around by the Barham house, and so avoid these steep grades. From here on to within three miles of Silverado the road is a very good and hard one. It was a delightful treat, this drive through the Santiago canyon, among the live oaks, all covered with beautiful hanging vines. It is like one immense romantic park. About 18 miles up we pass the BLACK STAR COAL MINE To our left. About 5 miles further on is located another very rich coal mine, which is being actively worked, and from which some very rich coal is being taken. From here to the mines, 3½ miles further, the road becomes rougher. The grades are not very steep, but they are numerous. The road crosses the creek about 15 times, and each time there is a steep rocky descent and ascent. Messrs Harvey & Thistlewaite, mine-owners, have a crew of men constantly at work fixing the road, and no doubt there will soon be a good road all the way to the mines. The road gradually gets narrower, until there is only room for one team to pass at a time. At 2 p.m., after 4 hours' drive, we arrived at SILVERADO, In Santa Rosa Mining District. The town, although incipient, shows a good healthy growth. The houses are not brownstone edifices, but they answer all practical purposes for which they are destined. Apparently there is one street—Main street—but Mr. Clark assures us that there are also numerous side streets, all duly named, etc. Clark & Co. have three houses of boards on Main st., used for boarding house, assay office, and residence. There is also a mill put up on Main street—a gin mill, Capt. Ruger proprietor. You see that commences to savor of a real old time mining camp of '49. Next comes a butcher shop, which will be found a great convenience to the hungry miner, heretofore subsisting on bacon. On our way back we met teams loaded with goods for a store, to be commenced by Mr. Pierce from the Swamp. Mr Huntington's residence lies on the southeast side of town, on Main street.The town is also ornamented by numerous SYCAMORE TREES. There is plenty of place here to build a large town, and it would be larger by building up the side of the mountains. The imposing figure and beaming countenance of our portly townaman, Mr. P.A. Clark welcomed about $20 would straw this place, and make it a good, solid road. We have in Anaheim some of the principal owners of the coal mine from which there are teams daily traveling this road, and it would no doubt eventually aid the merchants of our burg to HAVE A GOOD ROAD, And yet we have not taken this important step.

S. Grimshaw has recently added greatly to the mechanical appliances of his wagon shop. By the aid of his turning and sawing machinery, he expects soon to be able to manufacture and sell a farm wagon for the price now paid for wagons of Eastern make. He imports all his material direct from the East, and there is little doubt that when he has perfected some minor arrangements he will be in a position to cope with Eastern-made work as to price, while the quality of the workmanship is decidedly superior. Read Mr. Grimshaw's new advertisement. As has heretofore been announced, an injunction was issued by the District Court at the instance of Dunlap & Co., restraining Messra. Miles & Taylor from working the Florentine mine. Dunlap & Co. gave bonds in the sum of two thousand dollars, but an order of the court was made yesterday increasing the amount of the bonds to $8000, and give them forty-eight hours in which to file the same. The suit will be tried on its merits on the 2nd day of September. When the excursion train reached Santa Monica on Sunday, there were eleven cars filled with excursionists. Anaheim and Santa Ana contributed about equal numbers. Downey City filled about two cars. In all, there were probably eight hundred persons. The day was spent very pleasantly at the city by the sea, and the enjoyment was unmarred by a single unpleasant feature. The Board of Town Trustees held a meeting on Monday afternoon but adjourned without fixing the tax levy. Before doing so, it is desirable that a full Board be present. The President will call a meeting as soon as the absent members—Messra, Boege and Look—return to town. Mr. T. A. Darling, agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Anaheim, is now on a visit to the silver mines. Mr. Smith is attending to Mr. Darling's duties in the meantime, and does the agreeable to the satisfaction of everyone. There is plenty of place here to build a large town, and it would be larger by building up the side of the mountains. The imposing figure and beaming countenance of our portly townsman, Mr. P. A. Clark, welcomed our arrival. After going through his assay office, and inquiring in a scientific manner about the different ores, etc., we prepared to climb the mountains, to pass the night with our townsmen, Messra. Hill & Pullen, preparatory to visiting the mines in the morning. Strapping our blankets to our back, a la pack mule, we toiled and perspired until we arrived at their camp, 2 of a mile up Bear canyon, and several hundred feet above Silverado. They are extremely comfortably situated here; have a neat-looking cabin. BUILT OF MUSLIN, With all accommodations and conveniences possible to have in such a wild place. A most delicious stream of ice cold water flows out of the side of the hill, and is led in troughs to their very door. This is the place where formerly bears used to come to "waller," and where Jonathan Watson and Carter had the fight and killed a bear some years ago. We were cordially received by the hospitable Mr. Hill, and after partaking of a light supper, went to bed and passed a refreshing night. Next day we proceeded to examine the mines. First near here, about 50 yards from the camp of Hill and Pullen, is the new ledge called the "GOLDEN RULE." Owned by the Anaheim Mining Co. A considerable tunnel has been dug and blasted, and they are in about 10 feet, and although they have not struck a very rich lodge yet, the indications are favorable, and the members of the company look forward to being millionaires yet. The next new development is a rich strike made by Mr. J. C. Hill on the "Emma Mine," situated on the trail leading to the large mine of Harvey and Thistlewaite. There is a good solid ledge of ore, well developed, and it is thought to be very rich. What the assay was we could not learn. The next mine up this mountain is the "Ophir," for which Hill and Pullen are the chief owners. Considerable work has been done here, and a tunnel of about 30 feet deep has been run across the ledge. As yet they are not in a rich paying rock, but think when they get through the wall of rock on which they now are, they are sure to strike it rich.

The next mine up this mountain is the "Ophir," for which Hill and Pullen are the chief owners. Considerable work has been done here, and a tunnel of about 30 feet deep has been run across the ledge. As yet they are not in a rich paying rock, but think when they get through the wall of rock on which they now are, they are sure to strike it rich. This would give a new impetus to our town. Let us hope that we may be so fortunate as to obtain some lasting benefit for our town from these treasures which are now being taken out of the bowels of this earth.

They are shipping Practical Geology and the New Mines. [From the Los Angeles Eparrot] It is to be hoped that your correspondent is correct in his estimate of the geological character of the silver lodes of the Santiago canyon. According to current report, and the published accounts, it is now a demonstrated fact that the ore of our new district is rich enough to pay well. The only questions are as to its quantity, and the permanence of its character. When I first heard of the new mines, I must confess that I had but little faith in their permanent value. The geological formation of the coast mountains, in general, is opposed to the idea of true fissure veins of mineral ore being found in them, while if this were not so, the usually badly broken-up character of these ranges would preclude the hope of their being found to contain continuous lodes, striking deep down into the earth. I believe that the vast amount of money that has been spent in Sonoma county, prospecting for copper, and in the St. Helena mountains of Napa county, for silver, has, generally speaking, been spent in vain. Although, in mining parlance, the various features of "deposits," "chimneys," "blow-outs," etc., were often discovered to raise illusive hopes, nothing lasting, so far as I know, was ever discovered. We all remember how White Pine and its famous "Eberhardt" and "Chloride Flat," with their fabulous stories of wealth, faded into insignificance when the limestone film thrown over Treasure Hill was broken through by the miner's pick and its instability exposed. THE ORANGE TRADE. The California Article Driving Tahiti Oranges out of the Market. The great loss sustained in the Tahiti orange trade this Summer will, in all probability, leave the market almost entirely open to home production the next season. Those who have been engaged in the Tahiti trade say that some of the cargoes received during the past few months did not turn out enough to pay for the running expenses of the vessels, and that the losses on the round trip have been absolutely disheartening. One vessel's cargo is set down as having been brought here at a loss of over $2000, and another vessel did not sell her cargo for the price it cost on the islands. A single firm will sustain a loss of $15,000 on the Summer's business. The route a vessel takes coming from the Society Islands, owing to the head winds, is between four and five thousand miles, and as Tahiti is 17 degrees south of the equator, the heat makes serious inroads on the fruit, crate after crate turning half their contents into the hay after arrival here. The drawbacks are so serious that it is thought the trade between here and Tahiti next year will amount to little or nothing unless shippers can get oranges at their own prices, make their own selections, and at such season as exactly suits their wishes. These not complied with, the Tahitians, foreigners and natives will suffer a financial panic, as the revenues from this source have been a very large item in their limited trade. Another fact is that the public no longer consider that the Tahiti oranges are superior to those in California, but on MINKIN BOXES, side, and holding each 100 instance and humility exhibital jack is astonishing, and working model to follow.

THE Water. Mr. Crowther last evening handed us the following: Although in mining parlance, the various features of "deposits," "chimneys," "blow-outs," etc., were often discoverered to raise illusive hopes, nothing lasting, so far as I know, was ever discovered. We all remember how White Pine and its famous "Eberhardt" and "Chloride Flat," with their fabulous stories of wealth, faded into insignificance when the limestone film thrown over Treasure Hill was broken through by the miner's pick and its instability exposed. The "Sheba" mine in Humboldt, Nevada, was probably the richest silver lode ever discovered on this coast. It was a "flat lodge" in limestone, about six feet through, showed beautifully, and it employed hundreds of men. The assorted ore therefrom was hauled by ox teams through an Indian country nearly 400 miles, to Red Bluff, the head of navigation on the Sacramento river, sent on to San Francisco, and shipped from thence to England for reduction, paying enormously. This was in 1863. The stock sold readily at $700 a foot. But one fine day the ledge gave out, and it was never found again. Yet I understand that the little thin veins, such as the "North Star," with which I was familiar at Austin, Nevada, in '63 and '64, and which, in some cases, were only a few inches in width, but had their location in a granite formation, are still paying handsomely, and sustain a thriving population. The Comstock lode, as every one knows, is in porphyry. This is also a primitive formation, without using technical terms. All of which practical examples prove the truth of science as taught in the books in relation to these matters; and show how futile it is to search for lasting fissure mines in limestone, to say nothing of the red sandstone and other later overlying strata. Every old miner knows the value of the feature of good "hanging walls," of "foot-walls" and "casing." They are the signs of permanence. Rich mines are sometimes found near the junction of stratified and unstratified rocks. But whether this be or not, it seems to me that there can be but little doubt as to the permanent worth of a silver-bearing lode, located in a hypozoic formation, having rich croppings and matrix of the most desirable form mineralogically, the ore from which smelts readily—the cheapest of all processes of reduction; and displaying the infallible marks of perpetuity above mentioned. I trust that our new mines at Santiago canyon do possess these elements, as stated by your correspondent, and there is every reason to accept the correctness of his account. Under this state of facts our mines cannot remain "hid under a bushel." They will attract mining experts, abundant capital for investment, and a large mining population, and it will be hard to estimate the benefits that will accrue therefrom to our county. D. M. Adams. Los Angeles, Aug. 2, 1878. Storm in Southern Indiana. Louisville, August 2.—The News has intelligence of a most terrific wind and rain storm that visited a large portion of Southern Indiana yesterday afternoon, the extreme southern edge reaching within about ten miles of this city. A gentleman who was at Bloomington, Ind., says that a very large quantity of fine timber was blown down, fences prostrated, barns levelled or unroofed, and many buildings damaged. The growing corn was torn up, twisted off or laid flat on the ground, many hundreds of acres being destroyed. On the line of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, from Lexington northward, much damage was done to crops, fences, and forests. Rain poured down in broad sheets, fairly flooding the entire country and swelling the streams to an unusual height, washing away fences and grain stacks and sweeping off acres of corn. The track of the storm was wide, extending half across Indiana and into Illinois and Ohio. Monument to a Branded Man.

Mr. Crowther last evening handed us the following: If anybody has doubts that the Cajon ditch will not safely carry the amount of water claimed by its present projectors, their curiosity can be gratified by ocular demonstration if they will take a trip as far as Trinidad Yerba's, in Upper Santa Ana. The water reached Anaheim yesterday afternoon. Mr. Parker and others irrigated. Dr. Hardin will get it this morning at 6 o'clock. It is said that the Cajon ditch is carrying one thousand inches of water. —Sometime on Sunday night thieves gained access to the butcher shop of P.H. Look & Co., and stole therefrom some hams, bacon and lard, and Mr. Look's favorite carving knife. When the members of the firm opened the shop Monday morning, and discovered their loss, they traced the tracks to the rear of the building where they found two of the hams which the thieves evidently had been unable to carry away. The tracks were easily traced as far as Chinatown, and this fact, added to the peculiar formation of the track, leads to the belief that the perpetrators were Chinamen. A search warrant was issued and the Chinese quarters investigated, but none of the plunder was recovered. The loss to Messrs. Look & Co. is about $14. —McNulty's second trial on Saturday, for disturbing the peace of the family of Salvador Bustamente, resulted in the jury giving a verdict of acquittal. In the afternoon McNulty appeared on the street in a brutish state of intoxication, and was hustled off to jail. Justice Bailey sent him to jail for thirty days on charges of drunkenness and indecent exposure. —Mr. and Mr. Al Smith, photographers, will remain only a short time longer.

CHICAGO, August 2.—A dispatch from Muskegan, Michigan, states that the monument to be erected to Captain Jonathan Walker by Rev. Photus Fiske of Greves was unvailed at that place yesterday with imposing ceremonies. Captain Walker was known as the "Man with the Branded Hand," a cognomen derived from the fact that the palm of his right hand was branded "S. S." (slave stealer), on account of his assistance in running fugitives over into Canada on his vessel. Ex-Congressman Williams, General Prichard and other orators made addresses. Failed. LONDON, August 2d.—Captain Wobb has commenced the feast of swimming 26 hours continuously without rest in the Thames. He dived off the Parade at Woolwich at 6 o'clock this morning, and began swimming toward Gravesend, on reaching which place he intended to turn with the tide and come back to Woolwich, expecting to reach there at six o'clock this evening, when he would again turn with the tide and repeat the trip. Owing to high winds, Capt. Webb left the water at sixteen minutes past three, having been swimming nine hours, and completed twenty-two miles. SAN FRANCISCO, August 3.—Michael Reese, news of whose death at Wallenstein, Germany, was received to-day, leaves an estate approximated at ten millions or more. With the exception of Senator Sharon, he was the largest real estate owner in the city. Some years ago he made a will leaving the great bulk of his estate to some client institutions. NEW YORK, August 2d.—The Times' special says that at a picnic held on Thursday at Silver Lake, New York, a pianna holding five hundred persons gave way, falling a distance of twelve feet. Fifteen persons were injured, none seriously.
