[San Francisco Alta, Oct. 5th.] As we like to read what is said about us, even if not entirely complimentary, we give place and consideration to the following grumble of the Anaheim Gazette: If these [Silverado] miners existed in the imagination of a local enthusiast, there would be some excuse for the contemptuous silence maintained by the journals of the metropolis. But here is a d strict in which thousands of dollars have already been expended, and which gives promise of becoming one of the greatest silver producing regions of the Pacific Coast, and still the metropolitan journals don't even damn it with faint praise. The Santa Barbara Press quotes the above, and adds its growl as follows: This neglect of Southern California interests is not confined to one section or industry—it is conspicuously general. When will people understand that it is the local Press which fosters local interests, and learn to foster the local Press as it deserves! The San Francisco Press has given very little space to the reports about the metalliferous deposits of Silverado, for the excellent reason that no statement has been published by any trustworthy authority showing the existence of any mine that would pay for the working. The Silverado miners, if we are correctly informed, have sunk no shafts more than twenty or thirty feet deep; sent no ore to San Francisco; built no mill; taken water for the town. Some time ago the question of water supply for Anaheim was discussed through these columns, but on the suggestion that it would be prudent to wait until the Anaheim and Cajon Companies had combined interests, the matter was dropped. This consolidation of interests having now been effected, it is in order to revive the discussion as to the best method of supplying the town with an abundance of water. Along the line of the Cajon ditch are numerous natural reservoirs. One of the best of these reservoirs is located about a mile and a half above Mr. Kraemer's house. We have not yet seen the place, but have been told that it is from one-fourth to three-sights of a mile long, of an oval shape, giving it a narrow outlet. There is no doubt that this reservoir would contain sufficient water for the needs of this place, but if it was thought advisable or necessary to have an additional storing place a connection could be made with still another natural reservoir, covering an extent of forty acres, which is but a short distance off. These reservoirs could be kept filled with that portion of the water in the Cajon ditch to which Anaheim is entitled, as we believe it is the intention of the Anaheim Water Company to use the old ditch whenever there is sufficient water in the river to admit of its use. A large main would connect the town with the reservoir, and we would then have a vast volume of water at our command, and the fall would be sufficient to force a stream over an ordinary sized building. It is to be hoped that our citizens will discuss this matter in all its bearings, and that they will manifest their desire that the Town Trustees exercise the authority vested in them to establish a system of water supply before another summer rolls around. SOUND ADVICE TO FARMERS Importance of shipping Grain in Good Condition. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. EDITOR GAZETTE—a word to farmers about the condition of grain shipped to San Francisco. The most of the grain is sold. Corrected. The following is thirteen arranged, of the Southern Association's first 14th and close Saturdays. Trotting—Free for purse, $250; first hour, $75; second, $25. Trotting—2:40 clap Purse $200; first hour, $60; third horse, $20. Trotting—2:50 clap Purse $200; first hour, $20.

Corn—Sales to low at $1 15, and The Santa Barbara Press quotes the above, and adds its growl as follows: This neglect of Southern California interests is not confined to one section or industry—it is conspicuously general. When will people understand that it is the real Press which fosters local interests, and learn to foster the local Press as it deserves. The San Francisco Press has given very little space to the reports about the metalliferous deposits of Silverado, for the excellent reason that no statement has been published by any trustworthy authority showing the existence of any mine that would pay for the working. The Silverado miners, if we are correctly informed, have sunk no shafts more than twenty or thirty feet deep; sent no ore to San Francisco; built no mill; taken out no considerable quantity of ore; opened up no large body of ore with drifts, cross-cuts and winzes; obtained no comprehensive reports on the veina by geologists or mining engineers of high repute, and, in fine, have done nothing that would justify capitalists in buying the claims or building mills. Under such circumstances the praise bestowed on Silverado by the Los Angeles newspapers is entirely undeserved, and the republication and endorsement of it by the San Francisco journals would do more harm than good. The remarks of the Santa Barbara Press are the expressions of the disappointment resulting from extravagant overestimates of local resources and importance. If the San Francisco journalists have neglected the interests and industries of Southern California, or if San Francisco capitalists have refused many opportunities of profitable investment there, the facts deserve to be supported by a little more evidence and argument than the Santa Barbara Press has devoted to the subject. The flippancy of the assertion indicates a lack of consideration in its publication, as well as the lack of proof to justify it. Our impression is that the San Francisco Press has written up Southern California very liberally, and that much San Francisco capital has been invested there without any reasonable proportion-of profit. We challenge the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara journals to produce the facts, figures and witnesses. The San Francisco Alta, from which the above editorial is taken, is a paper which we have learned to respect and revere. Its general reliability excites our respect, and its age extorts the reverence we always feel for venerable things. But for all that we are compelled to say that it has exceeded its contemporaries in its avoidance of all mention of the new mining district. Admitting that its "excellent reasons" are true, it would have assumed no responsibility if it had published some of the mining news with which the columns of the Gazette and other local journals have been teeming for some months. This sudden fit of conscientiousness has come upon the Alta and its conferres very suddenly. The time was when the city papers did not wait until mills had been built, and shafts, crosscuts and winzes run in new districts before they designed to notice their existence. It is no doubt an admirable thing in a paper to be cautious in its statements, but it is a serious fault to permit an excess of caution to interfere with its giving news of interest to a large circle of readers. It happens to be our misfortune that this new journalistic rule of requiring absolute and undoubted proof of the richness and extent of a mining district before mention can be made of it, should be applied just as Southern California is coming to the front as a mineral-producing reel. SOUND ADVICE TO FARMERS Importance of shipping Grain in Good Condition. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. EDITOR GAZETTE — A word to farmers about the condition of grain shipped to San Francisco. The most of the grain is sold here in the Produce Exchange from samples, a little being taken from each sack by a tryer, which is inserted in any part of the sack as may happen. If there is a demand for white corn for meal, and should corn be ever so high, all the yellow kernels, the broken corn, bits of cob and worm eaten kernels, are carefully picked out of about a pound of samples, its weight estimated, and that proportion of a clean article is paid for the corn, and the farmer loses that portion which would be valuable to him for hog feed, after paying for sacking, freighting, hauling, etc. The farmer who permits a bushel of yellow corn, or cleanings, or poor corn, to go in with his good corn actually loses its entire value, besides paying for the sack, hauling, and freight. Considerable corn comes to market broken. I suppose it is done by the teeth of the sheller being too near. There is sometimes five per cent loss from that source, so millers tell me, for they will not grind the cracked corn for meal, but separate it. That trouble may be caused to some extent by green corn being shelled. The barley from Los Angeles county has a reputation for being poorly cleaned. Query: is the fault in the separators? The Mexican Consul tells me that there will be no market in Mexico this year, as they have had excellent crops of corn, beans, etc. What is said above as to the mixture of corn will apply equally as well to beans. The conclusion of this matter is that if the farmer wishes the best price of the market let him be careful of the condition of the article marketed. A. G. Cook. HOME MADE YEAST. We promised some time ago to publish a recipe for making yeast, kindly given us by Mrs. Gillett, of the Gillett House, Silverado. The excellent bread made by that lady is proof that yeast made after the following plan always gives happy results: Cook potatoes until they are well done, mash them thoroughly and let them cool. Add water until the potatoes are of the consistency of batter cakes. To each quart of potatoes so prepared add a tablespoonful of dried yeast, one teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of sugar. Let the mixture stand for six or eight hours. Make the bread thin and not too dry. After having made the first lot leave a little in the vessel; and prepare subsequent lots in the manner described and add to that in the vessel. It is to be hoped that our citizens will cess this matter in all its bearings, and that they will manifest their desire that the Town Trustees exercise the authority vested in them to establish a system of water supply before another summer rolls around.

It is no doubt an admirable thing in a paper to be cautious in its statements, but it is a serious fault to permit its giving news of interest to a large circle of readers. It happens to be our misfortune that this new journalistic rule of requiring absolute and undoubted proof of the richness and extent of a mining district before mention can be made of it, should be applied just as Southern California is coming to the front as a mineral-producing region. But as a matter of fact, the "excellent reasons" given by the Alta for its silence are not correct. There are many shafts in the district of a greater depth than thirty feet; very many carloads of ore have been sent to San Francisco, and a very considerable quantity of supposedly rich ore has been taken out and now lies on the dumps of the various mines awaiting the erection of a mill. If "geologists and mining engineers of high repute" have not reported on the district, it is because the miners are not sufficiently blessed with money to pay these gentry for their doubtful services. The complaint that no mills have been built is rather ludicrous. The men who prospect a country and make locations are not the class of people who are able to build mills. The purpose of our "growl," as the Alta terms it, was to direct the attention of capitalists to this region in the hope that the developments which so far have been made would be sufficient to induce them to build mills. If the miners were in a position to build their own mills, the GAZETTE would employ its space to better advantage than in appealing to capitalists to help in developing the district. If the faintest rumor of some gross scandal is wafted through the wind-swept streets of San Francisco, the Press of that city eagerly gather in and publish all the details without much regard as to who will be injured thereby, or whether the floating rumors are correct or not. But, according to the Alta, it requires the report of mining engineers, the expenditure of many thousands of dollars in mills and the opening of hundreds of feet of shaft before any notice can be taken of a mining district—in Southern California. Even if this Silverado district should come to as disastrous an end as did Panamint, we would still remain of the opinion that the Press of San Francisco had treated this section unjustly in ignoring it as it has done. Mrs. Gillett, of the Gillett House, Silverado. The excellent bread made by that lady is proof that yeast made after the following plan always gives happy results: Cook potatoes until they are well done, mash them thoroughly and let them cool. Add water until the potatoes are of the consistency of batter cakes. To each quart of potatoes so prepared add a tablespoonful of dried yeast, one teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful of sugar. Let the mixture stand for six or eight hours. Make the bread thin and not too dry. After having made the first lot leave a little in the vessel; and prepare subsequent lots in the manner described and add to that in the vessel. To make dried yeast:—Prepare the yeast as above. When it raises stir in all the corn meal you can and then put in shade to dry. Add hops; tie it in a cloth and boil it with the potatoes. In our Canadian exchanges we see that the recent elections for the Parliament of the Dominion have resulted in a complete redistribution of power. In the late House Reformers, or "Grits," under the leadership of the Hon. A. Mackenzie, had a majority of about 70 over the Liberal-Conservatives, under Sir John A. Macdonald. In the late elections the Reformers were defeated in every province, from British Columbia to Nova Scotia, and "John A." has been called to the head of the Government with a majority fully equal to his previous minority. A CURIOUSITY OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.—E. O. Smith, of Santa Clara, and Edward Evey, of Los Angeles, members of the present Constitutional Convention of California, were both members of the Constitutional Convention of Illinois, which assembled in 1847.* The succeeding season they each served in the Illinois Legislature, Mr. Smith in the Senate, and Mr. Evey in the Assembly. From the adjournment of that Legislature in 1848, they had never met until they came together in the California Convention a week ago to-day. In the Illinois Convention they were among its youngest members. They are now each well silvered with the frost of intervening winters. At the time of the Illinois Convention Mr. Smith was a Whig, and Mr. Evey a Democrat. To-day they come together, Mr. Smith as a Democrat, and Mr. Evey as a Workingman.—Placer Herubli, Oct. 5th.

The editor of the Los Angeles Herald has evidently visited Silverado, but he either did not know or was erroneously informed as regards the location of that place. He states "Silverado lies near the head of Madera canyon, and about five miles from Santiago canyon." While making corrections we will not overlook Mr. Pepper Potts' last epistle to the Santa Ana paper. He states "Williams canyon is a branch of Shrewsbury canyon." This is a mistake. Mr. Saml. Shrewsbury resides in the Santiago canyon; so do Mr. Pleasants, Mr. Pellegrin and Mr. Williams. One mile east of Sam. Shrewsbury's residence branches Shrewsbury canyon to the north, so named after Lewis Shrewsbury, he owning a bee ranch the first in the canyon. At the forks of this canyon with the Santiago lies Santiago city. Shrewsbury canyon is next in length to Madura. Two miles east of here is the mouth of Williams canyon. Pepper Potts states that Williams canyon is lengthy and important. It is 1½ miles in length; can hardly be called a canyon; is more like a gulch. It derives its name from Mr. Williams' bee ranch, located at its mouth in Santiago canyon. Santiago canyon continues its course to the foot of Santa Ana mountains on the south-west side. Shrewsbury canyon heads on the Santa Ana mountain at the west, while Madera heads at the north-west end of the mountain, said mountain being the highest point visible from Santa Ana valley eastward. We make these corrections for the benefit of new miners, as many confound the three canyons and find their locations wrongly described on the records. A petty sneak thief visited some of the mines in Shrewsbury canyon not long since, and purjoined a knife or two from miners' camps. A suspicion rests on certain individuals, and we are informed miners will not tolerate such things long. Messrs. Bartlett & Shrewsbury are at work on the Mint ledge, with a fine showing for a rich deposit. On the 12th inst., at one o'clock P.M., the miners hold a meeting at Santiago city. A full attendance is desired. Martin & Benson have leased the Great Falls mine to parties from Spadra. The Catalina pleasure party will return home this week. Chas. Bartlett and W.S. Weaver are opening the southern extension of the Betty lode. They have already some very fine looking ore. C. M. Cooper is now hauling lumber to build a boarding house. He says tenting it is too thin. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice.

The talk in Leadville, Col., is about a vagabond of a minor, Bassick, who tramped into town without a cent in his pocket and jumped into an income of $2,000 a day. He began to dig in Tyndall Hill, and three feet below the surface struck a rotten, chalky substance that formed the entire eminence. Everybody laughed at the beggar and desisively called his find "Bassick's Whitewash Mine." But Bassick found the stuff rich in carbonate of lead carrying silver, and digging down, found boulders and pebbles that were coated with silver chloride. From the surface down two hundred feet the mine has paid richer than any other in the county, yielding thus far $64,000 a month. New York, Oct. 5. — Madame Rhinehart, the lion tamer, performing with Coup's Equescarriulum in Fourteenth street, was attacked by a leopard yesterday while performing. The leopard, always vicious, sprang upon her and fastened his teeth in the folds of her dress. She seized the animal firmly by the throat and held it until the arrival of assistance. So quick was it done that the large assembly present was not aware of what had happened until it was over. This is the fourth or fifth time Madame Rhinehart has been attacked and bitten by the leopard. At an entertainment given by a New York French Society, for the benefit of the afflicted South, there were many unique games indulged in. One of the games for ladies is known as the "jeu de ciseaux," or the game of scissors; and it is astonishing the extent to which the betting was carried by the enthusiastic competitors. The scissors game is not complicated, nor does it require much special preparation in order to fit its devotees to take part in it. A line is stretched between two posts, and this is attached fifteen or twenty pieces of common wrapping cord, each weighted with a nail at the end, and each bearing a slip of paper on which a number is work on the Mint ledge, with a fine showing for a rich deposit. On the 12th inst., at one o'clock P.M., the miners hold a meeting at Santiago city. A full attendance is desired. Martin & Benson have leased the Great Falls mine to parties from Spadra. The Catalina pleasure party will return home this week. Chas. Bartlett and W.S. Weaver are opening the southern extension of the Betty lode. They have already some very fine looking ore. C. M. Cooper is now hauling lumber to build a boarding house. He says tenting it is too thin. We learn an effort will be made at the miners' meeting on the 12th to have the dividing line between this and Santa Rosa district a distinct line, for instance, the summit of the dividing ridge between Madera and Shrewsbury canyons. As it is now, not one in fifty has the faintest idea of the direct line from the post on Santa Rosa mountain to the corner of the Lomas de Santiago ranch. The Young America mine is furnishing ore that assays from $85 to $207 per ton. Leihy Bros. have opened a feed yard on Second street. Opposition is the life of trade, they say. A Post office is the next thing in order and something we stand in need of. The unbelieving valley says that if there was any mineral in these hills, miners would not be so long in getting it out and shipping the ore. Mining is slow work, and shipping ore to San Francisco is an up hill business; nothing less than $100 ore pays to ship. It appears that San Francisco mill men are the same as all capitalists—they want it all or nothing. Why San Francisco is so prejudiced against this end of the State, is a conundrum to most every one. Time alone will tell the tale, and in the mean time we hope to have mill facilities at home, then fifteen dollar ore will pay to work, and there is any quantity of rock that will run from this figure to fifty dollars. Mr. Gage and lady were visiting the vicinity last week. Dr. Shelton from San Bernardo is stopping with Major Kendall for a few days. Mr. Lilly of Spadra is prospecting for a bonanza. Mr. Winters and wife paid a visit to this place last week. H. McDermott and lady were looking through the mineral deposits the first of the week. Talt. Hill was over from Silverado-Sunday last. Waldrip and Buckingham are rusticating for a time in the valley. T. B. Hulse went to the valley Saturday last to see—to see well we won't say who. Measures Beach & Wright of Spadra paid this section a visit last week. A spiritual medium and mineralogist visited the mines not long since and read to the weary miners their future destiny, and strange to say they wore in most every case to be exceeding rich; we trust the hopes engendered will be fully realized. Mr. Pleasant has disposed of a portion of his ranch to a gentleman from Kentucky. Mr. Revisa a reporter for the Bulletin is viewing the mines in this section this week. There is room for another merchant or two, a shoemaker, hotel, blacksmith, etc. The first applying gets the better showing-Oct. 7th, 1878.

One of the games for ladies is known as the "jeu de ciseaux," or the game of scissors; and it is astonishing the extent to which the betting was carried by the enthusiastic competitors. The scissors game is not complicated, nor does it require much special preparation in order to fit its devotees to take part in it. A line is stretched between two posts, and to this are attached fifteen or twenty pieces of common wrapping cord, each weighted with a nail at the end, and each bearing a slip of paper on which a number is written corresponding to the number of one of the hundreds of prizes displayed on a table near by. The players, who can take part singly or in pairs, are blindfolded and with scissors in hand are started for the line at the distance of ten feet. The clipping of a line secures a prize. Another game for the ladies was one in which they were required to roll a ball through one of a series of arches on a plank. The fashionable women who are attendants of the (Roman Catholic) Cathedral at Three Rivers, Canada East, are very angry at Bishop Lafleche for a recent sermon in which he severely condemned the present tight-fitting gown, pronouncing it immoral and indecent, and closing his diatribe by forbidding them to appear in the church in such attire. Some of the women went out while he was preaching, and most of them declare they will not enter the Cathedral again until he apologizes for the wanton insult he has offered them. They are unanimous in their opinion that it is no part of the Bishop's business to meddle with their clothes; that this belongs to the modiste, not the Priest, and that they will wear what they like and where they like, regardless of ecclesiastical dictation. The editor of a religious paper in Iowa gives the following reasons for his love for the circus: "As we gaze at the lions, tigers, and monkeys, and think that nature made all of them, we are not so sure. And when we look at the beautiful young lady, with nothing on but a blue ribbon round her waist, with one leg pointing to six o'clock and the other to high noon, and think that nature made her, too, just as she was, except the ribbon, we begin to lean up to the circus. But when the brass band begins to play and the elephants go round, we rush in for a front seat to get in ahead of the ministers, who always wear stove-pipe hats, and won't sit down in front." Gen. D. D. Colton, Vice-President of the Southern Pacific Railroad, died in San Francisco on Wednesday night, aged 47 years.

The corn crop of this section has turned out very well, the yield being heavy. Flax has proved a profitable crop. Odessa wheat has successfully resisted the rust and will be extensively sown here the coming season. The Cajon Canal, for a half interest in which the Anaheim Water Company paid twenty thousand dollars last month, will be finished in two weeks, and a barbecue will be held to celebrate the event. The canal will irrigate 20,000 acres, bringing into market thousands of acres of good land which would otherwise be of no value for farming purposes. The Black Star Coal Mining Company have just discovered another ledge of fine coal four and a half feet wide. The force of miners will be increased on the 15th instant, or as soon as the mine is sufficiently ventilated to permit the miners to work. The coal of this mine is now in use in all the mills and distilleries in this end of the county. D. Nagle Desires to return his thanks to the public for the very general patronage which they have given him heretofore, and hopes that in the future he will receive the same generous support. He is constantly receiving fresh invoices of all kinds of men's and boys' shoes and shoes, and also ladies', children's, and misses' wear.
