Silverado, October 17, 1878. The following is a brief mention of the extent of work performed on some of the mines in the District, up to the present time. Development of many other claims has been prosecuted to a considerable extent during the past few weeks, but has not reached a stage sufficiently advanced to be specially mentioned. On the Marion mine, Harvey & Shinn, owners, a six-foot tunnel seventy-nine feet in length has been run. On the Southern Belle mine two tunnels have been made, fifteen feet and thirty-five feet, tap the lodge about thirty feet from the surface. The rock from this mine is of a fine quality and appearance. Messrs. Cassida & Currie are the owners. The "Mammoth" has a tunnel now forty-five feet in length. Messrs. Lake & Sears have made a cut and tunnel of about fifty feet on the Mountain View mine. R. B. Simpson & Co. have sunk a sixty foot shaft, and have run a fifty foot tunnel on the "Rough and Ready," Montezuma lode. The incline on the "Southern Slope" mine, Huntington & Co., has reached a depth of sixty feet running on the ledge, and from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet below the surface. The "Warwick," Pullen & Co., has a forty five foot tunnel. The "Alpha," Harvey & Co.'s tunnel is forty feet in length. The Florentine Co. has a tunnel fifty-five feet in length. The Blue Light Co. has one tunnel thirty-five feet and another forty feet in length. The "Black Lode" shows a forty foot tunnel, run by Campbell & Co. Of the work on the Shrewsbury side we have no specific knowledge. Considerable work has been done and is now being prosecuted on several claims. Small forces are employed on the "Great Falls" mine. "Young America" and "Thanksgiving;" and the American Union has a twenty-five foot tunnel. Westminster. REGULAR CORRESPONDENTS. The remarks of "Jane last week invites county Land Company, a trustee and has to accord to the decree Stearn's estate in the company, is amount first, and then divided among the members not loan, but must pay in by purchaser sufficient to clear the assets Stearn's estate, and received nothing.

Subscribers to the Gazette in Santa Ana and vicinity, who are in arrears, will please pay the amount to Mr. W. H. Titcheen, whom we have appointed our collection agent for that vicinity. Yesterday was the anniversary of the battle of Leipsic. This famous contest was fought on October 18th, 1813, and for forty years subsequently it was celebrated in Germany with great pomp. Surveyor-General Wagnur and his Deputy, Mr. Minto, were in Los Angeles on Wednesday. In company with Mr. J. K. Tuffree they went to the Jurupa ranch on official business. Mr. Jacob Miller, the pioneer marble dealer of Los Angeles, has removed his shop to Spring street. Having had several business transactions with Mr. Miller, we can without hesitation recommend him to the kind consideration of our friends. The Views of a Wine Expert. Our friend, Mr. B. Dreyfus, is this vintage accompanied by a gentleman who for over twenty years has been occupied and is fully conversant with the vintaging and breeding of sherry wines in the Spanish town of Xeres. This gentleman, Mr. Frederick Pohndorff, a native of Northern Germany, belongs to a sherry shipping house of Puerto Santa Maria, in the sherry district, and is also interested in a wine shipping business in Cephalonia, Greece, where for the past six years he has had ample opportunities, during his yearly stay of several months in that island and Patras, to study practically the treatment of the wines made there, under his supervision, according to the system pursued in Xeres, from the Corinthian, Rombola, and Muscatel grapes. The house of B. Dreyfus & Co., in New York, where Mr. Pohndorff was staying several months, secured that gentleman's assistance for the balance of the year to conduct the cellar operations of the house in San Francisco, and to especially devote his attention to the improvement of California sherry wine. It is highly creditable to Mr. Dreyfus who makes use of every opportunity to ye our important industry of wine-making, that be succeeded in securing the valuable services of a gentleman from the very heart of the districts of generous wines, if even for a few months, to aid and enlighten in many details which in Europe are familiar, and can be introduced here with advantage. Mr. Pohndorff expresses himself highly gratified with many things he has seen in the vintage and cellar operations here, and awards particular praise to the ingenious ways in which many things are done by our self-taught friend, Mr. Dreyfus. He declares that neither in the sherry region of Spain, nor in the district of Bordeaux, has he seen vine- The Blue Light Co. has one tunnel thirty-five feet and another forty feet in length. The "Black Lodge" shows a forty foot tunnel, run by Campbell & Co. Of the work on the Shrewsbury side we have no specific knowledge. Considerable work has been done and is now being prosecuted on several claims. Small forces are employed on the "Great Falls" mine. "Young America" and "Thanksgiving;" and the American Union has a twenty-five foot tunnel. Further tests of ore from the George Washington tin mine corroborate previous estimates of its character and value. Several locations have been surveyed and preparations are being made to develop them. The discovery of this metal in this District causes as great surprise as the first announcement that silver-bearing rock existed within twenty-three miles of Anahiem. Silverado is content to stand on the merits of its mines, and with the prospect of the speedy erection of mills, the miners quietly continue their work, confident of success, and regardless of the groundless rumors of certain mines having "wedged," or "petered out." They have the ore to show, and that is considered evidence not to be controverted. Agricultural Fair Notes. The Fair at the new Pavilion in Los Angeles is, for a first attempt, a very creditable affair, altough neither the quantity nor variety of exhibits would convey to the stranger any adequate idea of this district's resources. Some of the richest agricultural localities in this and other counties in the district have no representation; and to one acquainted with the abilities of these unrepresented sections the conspicuous absence of productions which they fully expected to see exhibited engenders a feeling of disappointment, not to ray of mortification. Santa Ana exhibits some corn, apples and peaches. Gospel Swamp sends a big pumpkin, but it is eclipsed by one from Florence which weighs 218 pounds. Westminster exhibits apples of a very fine quality. Garden Grove sends a cheese from its new factory. Orange is represented by a fine lot of trees from the nursery of D. C. Hayward. The samples of ore from Silverado attract a good deal of attention, and favorable mention is made of the coal from the Black Star Mine. None of the local departments, except perhaps Florence, Pasadena and Riverside are at all interesting, or give the slightest hint of their capabilities and resources. Los Angeles city, of course, contributes the majority of the exhibits. The mercantile houses have generally availed themselves of the opportunity to advertise their wares by making handsome displays of their specialties. The following is a list of the exhibits from Anaheim: Miss Augusta Hartung, worked quilt. This exhibit was very much admired for its beauty and delicacy. It was displayed effectively on a baby's crib. Miss Kuelp, sofa cushion. A very handsome piece of work.

Still Another Conundrum. EDITOR GAZETTE.-We noticed in your issue of Oct. 11 an article from one of your regular correspondents condemning the Land Company for taking the proceeds of the land they sell to San Francisco, thus draining this part of the county of all capital for improvements. We heartily endorse all he has said about it, and most sincerely wish that some means might be employed to prevent it. But this is not the only leak in financial affairs. While this county abounds in hogs that are in a good marketable condition, and our farmers make bacon that will compare favorably with that made anywhere, and is much better than most bacon, why is it that one firm we know of (and we presume there are more.) sends to Oregon for bacon and lard?

Therefore ascertain how far they ar Westminster Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. The remarks of "James" of Garden Grove last week invite comment on the policy of the Land Company. A. Robinson is simply a trustee and has to use the money received according to the deed of trust. Under this deed the Stearn's estate, which is partner in the company, is to receive a certain amount first, and then the receipts are to be divided among the several parties according to the several interests. A. Robinson cannot loan, but must divide, and the amount paid in by purchasers have not yet been sufficient to clear the amount pledged to the Stearn's estate, and the other partners have received nothing. They have therefore nothing to loan, and James' criticism on their policy is without ground. This statement is not made officially, for your correspondent's position as agent simply authorizes him to receive moneys for the company, a position which only public convenience induces him to hold. But he believes the facts in the case are as stated above—if not, Mr. Olden can correct them. Let us take another view of the matter: James may be right in his assertion that $60,000 have been sent to the Land Company this past year from Westminster and Anaheim. But all things have an end. When this drain on the productions of this section ceases by the payment of the indebtedness for land, a new era of prosperity will begin. Farmers will then begin to live comfortably and without anxiety. The strain will be over. All branches of trade will feel the influence. Let us be thankful that we are $60,000 nearer that desired end. Considerably less than that amount will clear Westminster, and the more rapidly the payments are made the better for the country. A faithful use of a good season will put us in sight of land and perhaps land us entirely. If every landholder in arrears will set this one thing before him this season, to get out of debt to the Land Company, and if we do as well as we did last year, we are safe. A growl at the Railroad Company is in order. They take our products to the Fair free. But if we want to see them and compare them, and make notes of new things, we are asked to pay the regular exorbitant fare of three dollars for a trip of 28 miles and return. The proposed excursion on Friday, return Saturday, for two dollars is such a miserable concession that it only shows how narrow are their limits. Daily excursion trains leaving Anaheim at an hour when people would not have to breakfast and drive several miles before sunrise to make the trip, and for a dollar for a round ticket, would have crowded their trains and crowded the Fair too from this section. We commend the subject to "James." Owing to confusion in Committees Westminster only sends a few apples to the Fair for exhibition, and not in competition for prizes, as they were not offered hastily from several gardens. Garden Grove Items. REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. I notice your editorial on farm produce and farm work and think the remarks very pertinent. The following facts have come under my observation: Some farmers who complain the most of hard times in this country, buy all their bacon, butter and lard from the stores, never have any egg or other small amounts of produce, but depend entirely on barley and corn. In fact, there was not enough bacon made to supply the farmers, and now there is no Los Angeles county bacon to be had. Webster, Howe & Co., of this place, say they have bought all the home-made bacon in this portion of the county and were compelled to send to San Francisco for supplies. If Sartar knows of any good bacon in this part of California for sale, let him make it known. Crowther and Eccles are about ready to commence operations to manufacture hams and bacon and lail, and very soon will have some on the market, when merchants will not be compelled to import bacon for home consumption. There does not seem to be a proper business understanding between the merchants in the different portions of the county. I saw this week in Los Angeles a lot of beans that had been shipped there from San Francisco, and I know that merchants and farmers in this portion of the county are shipping beans to San Francisco, thus compelling consumers to pay double freight on this article. It seems that every merchant in the county ought to try to obtain such produce as he needs at home first, and not send out of the county for it until he is sure it cannot be found at home. The prospects for a church festival on Friday evening are very good; a large attendance is anticipated. The ladies are exerting themselves to make the affair a success. Farmers are quite busy with their corn and a fair crop is expected. The small corn is about all shipped, but the large yellow is hardly ready for market. Our neighborhood is not very well represented at the Fair. There was no one person who would take upon himself the duty of attending to the whole business and make a proper showing of the products of our neighborhood, and each left it for the other. The result is one pumpkin and a cheese. Next year we will try and do better. —We will sell first-class Calcutta hand-sewed SACKS in quantities to suit, at thirteen and one-half cents.

We commend the subject to "James." Owing to confusion in Committees Westminster only sends a few apples to the Fair for exhibition, and not in competition for prizes, as they were gathered hastily from several orchards. Among them was a Gloria Mundai weighing 18½ oz. There were also some Greenings, Russetts, Pippins, and Pearmains that were unusually large and perfect. One thing is noticeable. All our winter apples are hard and solid, while those from the interior are becoming mellow. The inference is that ours will keep and bring good prices when the others are all gone. And now comes Mr. W. H. Harper with his story of his squash that measures 8 feet in circumference each way. Who comes next, and how about the weight?

Miss Blythe was the valedictorian of her class at the Normal School, and has a high reputation as a teacher. Miss Perry has gone to Santa Cruz, to accept a desirable place in the school there. A lively runaway of F. J. Rogers' team was stopped by George Gothard, who clung to one horse by the neck and reins and was carried in that dangerous position for some distance.
