Various Paragraphs about the Silver Mines. SILVERADO, August 21. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Captain Rugar has leased from Mr. Maynard his interest (4) in the California Consolidated No. 2 Company, American Union Lode, Shrewsbury Canyon, for the period of one year. A REFRACTORY BULL. An aggravating experience was had by the Huntington Company Monday in getting down a lot of ore from their mine for shipment with Mr. H. to San Francisco. Their trail is not wide enough for burros, so they conceived the plan of sliding it straight down the mountain in a rawhide. Accordingly one was brought up from the valley on purpose—a bull skin with the hair on—that was deemed long enough and strong enough to carry a big load safely to the bottom. Mr. Bowers, the President of company, bossed the job. He practised with it first at Silverado, staking it down at one side and getting on it endeavored to roll it up. It vicinity has continued during the week. Among the veritable rich finds is one by Mr. John Azbill of Fountain Valley and Mr. Joel Parker of Orange. Those gentlemen discovered a large mass of high grade galena ore on the surface. Assays made on Saturday by P. A. Clark, place the value of this ore at $207 per ton for first grade and $89 per ton for second grade. Messrs. Azbill and Parker are engaged in breaking and sacking their loose ore for shipment. The ledge is thought to be a continuation of the Grayback lode of Dunlap & Co., Harvey & Thistlewaite, and others. It is to-day reported that there are other claimants to this discovery. There may be doubt upon whom Fortune has smiled, but that there is a fortune for somebody in this find there can be no doubt. The Florentine Co., Blue Light Co., and Southern Slope are bringing down ore and hauling to Anabeim and Santa Ana for shipment. Lake & Scars have a large quantity of fine ore corded up at their mine ready for shipment. The exodus to Ladd's and Shrewsbury Canyons, and the heavy fog that has covered the mountains during the last few days, have detracted somewhat from the usual life and activity of town. A miners' meeting was held on last Wednesday evening, at which speeches were made by Messrs. Lynill, Carter and others. It being of an informal character, no business was transacted except the appointment of a committee for the purpose of calling a special meeting. The committee has issued the following call: In accordance with Article 3 of the District Laws of Santa Rosa Mining District, we the undersigned do hereby call a special meeting of the mine-owners of Santa Rosa Mining District, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, 1878, at two o'clock P.M. in the town of Silverado; the object of said meeting being to amend the district laws of said mining district, and other minor matters. Signed, J. Oefinger, W. E. Taylor, P. A. Clark, R. B. Simpson, H. S. Knapp, H. S. Thistlewaite. Miss Emma Clark opened a select school this morning with a good attendance of scholars. The call for town lots is on the increase, several being sold last week for different business purposes. A new hotel, a second feed stable and another saloon are among the prospective additions.

Mr. Lynill was called on responded in a 20-minute recited any lawlessness, otherwise Better settle by the force of moral law. His remarks were applause. Mr. Ellis, surveyor, was disclaimed any knowledge and so had nothing to say the Huntington Company Monday in getting down a lot of ore from their mine for shipment with Mr. H. to San Francisco. Their trail is not wide enough for burros, so they conceived the plan of sliding it straight down the mountain in a rawhide. Accordingly one was brought up from the valley on purpose—a bull skin with the hair on—that was deemed long enough and strong enough to carry a big load safely to the bottom. Mr. Bowers, the President of company, bossed the job. He practised with it first at Silverado, staking it down at one side and getting on it endeavored to roll it up. It slipped with him and threw him. When it was taken up to the mine they put five sacks of their choice ore on it, tied it up well and started it down the slide on which is dumped the refuse dirt. It went first-rate to the bottom of this (some 400 feet) sliding evenly and smoothly down the loose dirt with its load, but when it struck rough ground beyond it became perfectly wild, bounding and jumping in the air, smashing against boulders and clearing rods at a leap until it burst open and threw out the sacks, which were torn to pieces and their contents of precious ore scattered promiscuously down the mountain side. They gathered it up, as well as they could, but still lost about two sacks, worth two or three hundred dollars. Mr. James Huntington left for San Francisco Tuesday with two or three tons of ore. NAME CHANGED. The name of the Grizzly mine has been changed to "Maggie," in honor of Mrs. Maggie Gillett. THE EMMA. This mine owned by Byron, Emma and Charlie Clark, J. C. Hill, S. W. Gilbert and Charles Morgan is situated in Pine Canyon and Bear Gulch. It comprises two ledges, the Galena(in which is the Huntington mine) and the other and entirely distinct veins lately struck by Mr. Hill. Prospecting has been done in five places all of which strike ledges and prove that the ledges run entirely through the claim. The prospects open finely and show that the mine has an abundance of good paying ore. THE "CLARK" Company in the Mountain lode, north of the Emma, consists of P. A. and Charlie Clark, Jno. C. Hill, S. W. Gilbert and W. E. Taylor. Prospecting has just begun, and goes on finely. THE "OPHIR" Mine, on the Ophir lode, is owned by E. A. Pullen, J. W. Clark, Fannie Clark, W. E. Taylor and James E. Freeman. It was discovered by Mr. Pullen in January last. It has a 40 foot tunnel; the ledge is struck and well defined, 6 feet wide, and assays $40 gold,$850 silver. A heavy body of water is flowing out of it. THE "PULLEN" Company are on the Galena lode-owned by E. A. Pullen, P. A. Clark, W. E. Taylor, Edward Evoy, James E. Freeman and N. Bolen. It was discovered by Mr. Pullen in We shall not undertake to say that it is done maliciously, but we must insist upon it that the papers above us sadulously avoid the usual notices in regard to our section by failing to copy such articles from the local press as pertain to it. But in their stead we find copious extracts in regard to the same things in other sections, and we find them crowded with the vile particulars or the vilest murders, and all the sensational trash of the last eclipse, or the scandal of a ruined family. The above paragraph is from the San Diego News, and it is true. The San Francisco papers seem to wilfully ignore events which, did they occur on the northern coast, would be into notoriety by the scribblers of the metropolis. The most glaring instance of this injustice is given in the fact that scarcely a single allusion has been made by the San Francisco press to the silver discoveries in the mountains back of Anaheim. The Chronicle has had two or three telegrams relating thereto sent by their agent in Anaheim, but not a word of editorial comment has been made. We don't know of any remedy for this, except to "bide a wee." Newspapers in San Francisco, as well as elsewhere, are compelled to print the kind of news their patrons and the public demand; and the day is not far distant when the importance and the almost fabulous wealth of the Silverado mines will cause the San Franciscans (who above every other community are interested in mining developments) to demand that the fullest intelligence in regard to them be published. Until the metropolitan press awake to the exigencies and demands of the occasion, we may be permitted to suggest that the Gazette's weekly reports from the mines are reliable and complete, and that the semi-weekly is sent by mail, postpaid, for $5 per year, and the weekly for $3. Last week we stated that Mr. Irvine obmeeting of the nine owners of Santa Mina Mining District, to be held on Saturday, Sept. 14, 1878, at two o'clock P.M. in the town of Silverado; the object of said meeting being to amend the district laws of said mining district, and other minor matters.

The call for town lots is on the increase, several being sold last week for different business purposes. A new hotel, a second feed stable and another saloon are among the prospective additions to the business community. Benefel & Crawford, Martin & Benson, McTarnahan, Parker & Harding, Morgan & Waldrip, Morgan & Mills are a few of the many who have made new locations in and near Shrewsbury Canyon during the past few days. Business at the Recorder's and assay office has been active and lively. A pleasure party of young ladies and their escorts from Santa Ana met with a slight accident yesterday by the breakage of their carriage; results, a scare, but no lives lost. JONES.

Your correspondent thankfully acknowledges a courteous invitation to call, and as Mr. Pullen has a high reputation as a cook, will avail himself of it at his earjest convenience. JOHN SMITH. SILVERADO, Monday, August 26. EDITOR GAZETTE—The work of the last ten days has done much in determining the extent of the mineral deposits in Santa Rosa Mining District. The most prominent ledges have been traced northerly four or five miles from Silverado; and claims taken up in Ladd's Canyon show good surface prospects, similar to the groppings in the vicinity of this place. Southerly, in Shrewsbury Canyon, and in Trabueo Canyon, some seven or eight miles from Silverado, the main ledges have been located continuously from the old claims located here last winter and spring. The extent of the mineral district is surprising to the most sanguine. The great rush to Shrewsbury Canyon and Silverado mines will cause the San Franciscoans (who above every other community are interested in mining developments) to demand that the fullest intelligence in regard to them be published. Until the metropolitan press awake to the exigencies and demands of the occasion, we may be permitted to suggest that the Gazette's weekly reports from the mines are reliable and complete, and that the semi-weekly is sent by mail, postpaid, for $5 per year, and the weekly for $3. Last week we stated that Mr. Irvine objected to a road being made across the San Joaquin rancho and through Tomatoes Canyon to Silverado, and gave Mr. C.E.French as authority for so stating. We find in the Santa Ana Times of Thursday the following: The statement of the Gazette is incorrect. Mr. Irvine has never objected to said road—at least as far as I know. C.E.French. On Friday, the 23d inst., Mr. Fred W.Athearn came to our editorial rooms and told us that Mr.C.E.French had just been at his office and explained to him that the road to which Mr.Irvine objected to being declared a public highway was the one crossing the San Joaquin and through the Tomatoes canyon. The Gazette of August 10th having stated that Mr.Irvine objected to that part of the road between Anaheim and Silverado which runs through the San Joaquin, Mr.French's explanation and correction was given due publicity. His denial in the Times raises an interesting question of veracity between him and Mr.Athearn, and we presume the latter gentleman will have something to say in regard thereto on his return from San Francisco. We notice by the last issue of the Anaheim Gazette that Judge Athearn has retired from his old position as one of the firm, and henceforward the Gazette will be published by Richard Melrose alone. The Gazette has a large circulation, is a wide-awake paper, and we extend a hearty wish for its continued success under the able control of Bro.Melrose. The above is from the Ventura Free Press, a paper of which Gen.W.McCoy is part proprietor. Mr.McCoy was an employee in our office for two years, and like all with whom we have been thus connected, retains for the paper and its editor the kindest feelings.

SILVERADO, August 22. Editor Gazette.—The miners' meeting, heretofore mentioned, was held last evening. The Santa Ana band did not come up, and it appears that the announcement that it would was unauthorized. The meeting was called to order about eight o'clock by Cash Harvey on the sidewalk of Pierce's store. H. S. Knapp was called to the chair. He modestly disclaimed any knowledge of the situation to justify him for the position, but would do the best he could to see that its proceedings were conducted in a parliamentary manner. He was not explicitly informed as to the object of the meeting, but understood that it was in reference to certain dishonorable conduct that had existed in jumping claims. A voice here inquired how he knew that any'dishonorable conduct had existed. The chairman said he did not know. He only stated it as a matter of common report. Another voice here spoke up out of the darkness in which a circle of nearly a hundred miners stood around the inefficient candle that obscured the chairman's throne—the store platform—and said the meeting appeared to be irregularly called. He favored calling out regularly and knowing what they were going to do. Some inquiry was here made as to what provision, if any, the district by-laws contained in regard to their amendment. Recorder Clark, being appealed to, furnished the required information. It was then moved and seconded that a meeting be regularly called. An amendment was offered, that such meeting be called for the purpose of amending the by-laws of the district. The amendment was carried, and then the original motion. A motion to adjourn was here made. No second. Mr. Lynill was called on for a speech, and responded in a 20-minutes' effort. He deprecated any lawlessness, claim-jumping or otherwise. Better settle all matters at home by the force of moral suasion, than go to law. His remarks were received with applause. Mr. Ellis, surveyor, was called for. He disclaimed any knowledge of the situation, and so had nothing to say. Presumed they excitement about it, and many Silverdans have left for the new district and beyond. They will keep going until they reach San Juan and the sea, and then perhaps come back and work what they have already located. John Smith. California Sumac. Editor Rural Press.—I received your favor of June 18th, with request to hear further on the culture and trade in California sumac. The long delay in answering your request is owing to the purpose had in view of commencing the leather business as now going into operation by the Anaheim Hide and Leather Company. This company was recently organized with A. Guy Smith, president, B. F. Seibert, treasurer, J. Anderson, manager, and E. Schubert, secretary. The requisite improvements have been secured for the manufacture of light leather, such as calf, kip and sheep skins. The last named stock is to be tanned with California sumac alone, and from the practical working of this business, the real value of the tanning properties of our home sumac, in contrast with the Sicily imported article, may be fully determined. About one year since, we sent samples of our native sumac to the Eastern cities of the Atlantic States, as also to San Francisco. These samples were very highly approved by the Morocco Manufacturers' Convention, held at Lynn, Mass., as published by Shoe and Leather Reporter. The samples of sumac as gathered last June, were taken too early in the season to possess its best tanning properties. Prof. Hilgard's test of the sumac, gathered in the month of August, is favorably compared with the analysis of the Sicily sumac, and doubtless the planting and culture of our native sumac as practiced on the Mediterranean coast, would greatly improve its tanning properties. We have sent samples in the leaf branches to our several consuls in Italy and Sicily, and in return have received like samples of the sumac we import. The appearance and taste is very similar. By the advice of one of our consuls most interested in our home productions, I will therefore order from his agency a good supply of the Sicily sumac seed for planting on the "new Italy" coast, that we The amendment was carried and then the original motion. A motion to adjourn was here made. No second. Mr. Lynill was called on for a speech, and responded in a 20-minutes' effort. He depredated any lawlessness, claim-jumping or otherwise. Better settle all matters at home by the force of moral suasion, than go to law. His remarks were received with applause. Mr. Ellis, surveyor, was called for. He disclaimed any knowledge of the situation, and so had nothing to say. Presumed they were all law-abiding citizens. Mr. Heathman was called for: no response. The chairman here read a letter from Jas. Huntington, just left for San Francisco, and P. Bowers, expressing their regret at not being able to attend. They particularly deprecated the practice of claim-jumping, and severely denounced Taylor & Co. for their conduct in this regard. The first response to this was a voice from the darkness, saying that it would have been better for men having this to say to come personally and say it. The chairman here invited some action on the sentiment of the letter. A voice moved that consideration of it be dispensed with for the present. W. E. Taylor, being in the crowd, came to the front by saying that the meeting had been gotten up by interested parties to bull-doze him. He had suspected it all along, and this letter proved it. Harry Thistlewaite advanced and said that perhaps he was considered an interested party. Mr. Taylor said certainly he was. [At this point things looked very promising for a row, and your correspondent modestly withdrew his head from the glare of the lantern, where he made a shining mark for stray pistol balls.] Mr. Thistlewaite said he knew nothing about the meeting or its objects. He had been away when it was called, Mr. Taylor promptly accepted the statement. Thomas Harvey here advanced and made quite a lengthy statement, saying that himself and partners had labored faithfully for the advancement of the district. Some reference in his remarks to jumpers brought Mr. Taylor to the front. He objected to being called a jumper. He was no jumper. The point of controversy between his company and Harvey & Thistlewaite was now in court, to be settled by legal adjudication. The public were asked to wait for its decision before forming an opinion. On motion, it was also declared to be the object of the meeting to be called to consider the question of claim-jumping and how to discourage the evil. Mr. Carty here took the stand and made a forcible and humorous speech with some excellent points on the question of jumping that were heartily applauded. Cash Harvey was called and declined; ditto P. A. Clark; Parker ditto. Mr. Byrd spoke of the multitude of claims We have sent samples in the leaf branches to our several consuls in Italy and Sicily, and in return have received like samples of the sumac we import. The appearance and taste is very similar. By the advice of one of our consuls most interested in our home productions, I will therefore order from his agency a good supply of the Sicily sumac seed for planting on the "new Italy" coast, that we may here, by its culture and trade, realize the benefit of this new home industry as strongly advocated by Mr. Keegan of New York, president of the Morocco Manufacturer's Association of our Eastern cities. The few statements as given on the sumac question, in this my long delayed answer, are now offered that those interested in the new California industry may be the better assured of its claims upon the people, and that the dry waste lands of Southern California may become very valuable to the owner thereof by the planting and preparation of the new sumac for the trade at large.

Whitehead suggested that notices be posted in each of the adjacent canyons. The committee evidently did not relish the idea of hoofing it up the canyons to make such posting, and discouraged the proposition. The meeting adjourned. SHREWSBURY.

I have not been there and have only a vague idea from wild reports that come in. Azbill & Parker struck on Sunday last a very rich ledge on top of the ground. They were soon confronted by a second party of miners who claimed to have discovered it before. War was declared and revolvers flourished. How it was settled I know not, but the result appears to be that Mr. Azbill went to town and ordered a thousand ore snacks. There is great Change of Firm! Selling off for 60 days Webster, Howe & Co.
