The Importance of Care in Shelling Corn. A. G. Cook, Esq., wrote to the Gazette from San Francisco two weeks ago, giving some very good advice as to the best way to prepare corn for market. In one part of his letter he said: 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. We are constrained to think that the corn which has brought the crop of this county into such bad odor in the San Francisco market, must be shipped from the upper end of the county. The great majority of the corn grown in the southern part of the county is shelled at the mills of A. Guy Smith & Co., whose steam sheller is the most perfect of its kind and completely strips the cob without bruising or breaking seed. Not only that, but by a simple arrangement the machine separates from the corn all chaff and dirt, so that it flows into the sack perfectly clean and free from everything to which objection could be made by the buyers in San Francisco. It must be annoying to those who are doing all in their power to bring the products of this county into good repute in the markets of the city. THE ANAHEIM TANNERY. Its Products soon to be placed on the Market—A Hopeful View of the Success of the Enterprise. "There's nothing like leather."—Shakespeare. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Hide and Leather Company held a meeting at the tannery on Monday, and we availed ourselves of the opportunity to be present and learn the status of the Company's affairs and the prospects for the success of the enterprise. Our readers will recollect that the company was incorporated four months ago, with a capital stock of $2500, in shares of $50 each. The capital was placed at this low figure because, 1st, it was sufficient to fit up a tannery which could turn out a fair amount of calf, kip and sheep skins (the only kind of leather proposed to be made); and, 2nd, it was sufficient money to risk until it was practically demonstrated whether the business could be made a paying one or not. As no skins have yet been sent to market, it is impossible to say whether the venture will prove a profitable one. But a majority of the Directors, if not all of them, incline to the opinion that a handsome profit will accrue to the stockholders. This opinion is based on the expense of carrying on the business, the amount of leather which the Superintendent says he can turn out each week, and the market price of leather in San Francisco. In a few weeks at most these calculations will be verified or dispelled. In that time the products of the tannery will be placed upon the market, and the price they bring will determine whether the stockholders have a bonanza or an elephant. The leather would have been placed on the market long before this had the Superintendent, Mr. J. Anderson, pushed things ahead in utter disregard of the cost. But he has done the most of the work himself, and done it well. As a specimen of some of the inconveniences and annoyances he has been put to we may instance one case: Anxious to "patronize home industry," he sent an order to a Los Angeles foundry for some journals. After much delay, the castings were received here and fitted on the large cylinders. In a day or two they broke, and thus retarded and delayed the whole business of tanning. A set of journals was ordered from San Francisco, but all this took time, and it was only a few days ago that everything was placed in thorough working order. It may not be out of place to mention one little fact here. Los Angeles as an almost the first mining in Los Angeles? Someeginning of the "New was ushered in by Manshithe Sutter Mills placed by name, was working quartz near the Mission. But when the placer eased no one thought of looking in this chosen county This beautiful land wandered and horticulturized never placed among thie "Mother Vein," and was related to the silver- Inyo, although the modern end of the county did by geologists as belonging ada range. About 1860 Survey explored the core were brought there mountains. The ore was formation, and the surplus possits could not be proported, also, some gold mountains, but not envisioned When the expels and viewed thie they pronounced themselves ed, and little known, indications of metalliferies in the Santa Ana mounts. In the Temescal ranchary of the county, timber ore that has assayed about 40 percent of the metal; but it, and a very recent new nels and shafts are all everything looks quite Van Winkle's old guild discovered near the San Diego did this attract much interest at the place in 1872, and late in 1877, says ternet is worthless." Of overtook to Paris Exposition claims but two, and no characteristic, one being other a quicksilver ore. Visitors who have county in midsummer warm sun and genial climate, and feasted thie more substantial innervies groves of the orange sea A Profitable Crop. The experiment of raising flax in this vicinity has demonstrated that it can be made one of the most profitable crops. Mr. Amos Wright made some very thorough tests the past season. He planted the seed in different months and in different kinds of soil, and by careful observation he now knows exactly the proper time to plant and quality of soil necessary to secure the best results. In some kinds of soil it yielded ten sacks to the acre and in others only one sack. The average weight of the sacks was 110 lbs. At 3½ cents per pound (the price it brought in San Francisco), the amount per acre would be $35 75. This proves that it is a profitable crop, and as there are few farms which do not embrace some extent of ground adapted to the successful growth of flax, it is the sheerest folly to longer ignore its culture. At the Horticultural Fair last week, Mr. Geo. H. Peck, the agent of the Pacific Oil and Lead Works, had on exhibition samples of flax seed grown in Los Angeles county and Oregon. The difference in size and general appearance was very marked. That grown here was large, plump and glossy; the Oregon flax, on the contrary, was small, shrivelled and lustreless. It may have been very good flax, but it was manifestly inferior to the Los Angeles article. San Francisco Markets. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24. BARLEY—Market very quiet. Sales today of 100 aks bay feed, $1 02½; 100 aks coast, 87½c. Choice brewing, $1 25 to $1 27½. CORN—Sales to-day of 400 ctls choice large Yellow, $1 15; 200 ctls do, $1 17½; 150 ctls fair do, $1 12½. Small round Yellow is firm at $1 17½, and large White sold recently at well. As a specimen of some of the inconveniences and annoyances he has been put to we may instance one case: Anxious to “patronize home industry,” ne sent an order to a Los Angeles foundry for some journals. After much delay, the castings were received here and fitted on the large cylinders. In a day or two they broke, and thus retarded and delayed the whole business of tanning. A set of journals was ordered from San Francisco, but all this took time, and it was only a few days ago that everything was placed in thorough working order. It may not be out of place to mention one little fact here. The bill of the Los Angeles foundry for the worthless castings was $50, and the bill of the San Francisco foundry for the same work was $12 50, and the journals made at the last-named foundry give promise of lasting for years. As we have said, the tannery is now in complete working order, and in readiness to manufacture light leather, such as calf and kip. An inspection of the tannery and the manner in which it is fitted up gives an assurance that it will produce a very superior line of leather. The process by which leather is tanned here is a great improvement over the old method of making it. Mr. Anderson’s long and thorough experience in every department of the leather business will doubtless secure him the best interests of the leather trade at large. Should, as is hoped, the business prove profitable, it is the intention of the company to enlarge the capacity of their works and purchase a splitting machine, steam engine, etc. The animated carcass which now furnishes the motive power to the machinery will, we hope, soon be relegated to the glue works, which is his proper sphere. When the Gazette had the honor to suggest that a tannery be established in Anaheim, the damaging and disconcerting fact was brought forward that similar enterprises had been established in at least a half dozen towns between Santa Cruz and San Diego, and that in every instance they had proved utter failures. Mr. Anderson met this assertion by contending that the failure of these attempts was solely due to the fact that the men entrusted with the fitting up and managing of these works were not competent and did not understand their business. We the more readily concurred in this view of the matter, because we had a distinct recollection of the way the tannery at Benicia was built up. The business at that place was commenced on as small a scale as the tannery here. The company were specially favored in no way. They were not really so favorably situated as the Anaheim company. Yet from a one-horse affair it has grown to be a large establishment, employing numbers of men, and turning out every kind of leather. What they have done, we can do, and unless some unforeseen disaster intervenes, we have an abiding faith in the future greatness of the Anaheim Hide and Leather Company. The officers of the company are A. Guy Smith, B. F. Seibert, D. E. Miles, P. H. Look and E. Schubert.

A telegram from Washington brings information that the proposed commercial treaty between France and the United States, which, among other things, was to modify the import duties on French wines, is entirely unheard of by either the French or American Departments of State, and that the agitation thus far has proceeded from outside parties. This report, if confirmed, will prove good news to the wine-growers of California, who have felt no little concern over the supposed attack on their interest. OMAHA, October 19.—An attempt was made by a gang of masked men to rob the Kansas Pacific east bound express train some time before daylight to-day, on the Smoky Hill division, near Fort Harker, Kansas. The railroad company having expected an attack of this kind for some days, were well prepared for it and succeeded in capturing the leader of the gang, named Mike Rourke, and wounding another robber named Dan Dement, who escaped in the timber, but whose capture is almost certain. Rourke was securely ironed and brought to Brookville. This gang, consisting of eight or ten desperadoes, has been camping near the scene of the attempted robbery for several days, and has been closely watched by detectives. It is believed that Rourke and his crowd are the ones that robbed the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluffs railway three months ago. The train which they attempted to rob on the Kansas Pacific carries a large amount of treasure from Colorado. NEW YORK, October 19.—Secretary Sherman says that 400,000 ounces of silver will be the amount purchased weekly by the Treasury Department. ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Oct. 21.—A dyke on Damietta branch of the Nile has burst. It is impossible to repair it and ten thousand men are engaged in building a new one. The amount of damage is unknown. Los Angeles as a Mining County. Was there prophetic virtue in the fact that almost the first mining in California was done in Los Angeles? Some years before the beginning of the "New Era," which in 1848 was ushered in by Marshall's discovery of the Sutter Mills placers, a Frenchman, Bario by name, was working away at gold-bearing quartz near the Mission of San Fernando. But when the placer excitement commenced no one thought of looking for mineral wealth in this chosen county of the sunny south. This beautiful land was left to the farmer and the horticulturist. Los Angeles was never placed among the counties of the great "Mother Vein," and was not thought of as related to the silver-bearing mountains of Inyo, although the mountains near the southern end of the county have been considered by geologists as belonging to the Sierra Nevada range. About 1861, when the Geological Survey explored the county, copper and silver ore were brought them from the San Gabriel mountains. The ore was found in cretaceous formation, and the survey decided that the deposits could not be profitable. The survey reported, also, some gold-washings in the same mountains, but not enough to excite attention. When the explorers ascended the peaks and viewed the ranges to the south, they pronounced them wild, chapparel-covied, and little known, and added that no indications of metalliferous ores were observed in the Santa Ana mountains. In the Temecal range, just over the boundary of the county, tin has been discovered, ore that has assayed as high as sixty per cent. of the metal; but nothing has come of it, and a very recent writer says: "The tunnels and shafts are all full of water, and everything looks quite as dilapidated as Rip Van Winkle's old gun." Later, coal was discovered near the Santa Anariver. Neither did this attract much attention, and of one of the "locations," a gentleman who visited the place in 1872, and published his report as late as 1877, says tersely: "The whole thing is worthless." Of over 1,300 specimens sent to the Paris Exposition, Los Angeles county claims but two, and neither one of these is characteristic, one being a copper and the other a quicksilver ore. Visitors who have passed through the county in midsummer—who have felt the warm sun and genial breeze of its semi-tropical climate, and feasted the aesthetic eye and the more substantial inner man among the green groves of the orange and lemon—remember Gossip About Colton's Death A San Francisco paper devotes several columns to the publication of a rumor, which it says is in everybody's mouth, to the effect that the late General D. D. Colton came to his death not from a ruptured blood vessel and consequent blood poisoning, but from a knife wound inflicted by a woman. Premising that General Colton's life was taken in the manner reported, the paper says the universal belief is, that being a man of genial temperament, of an unsuspicious, sympathizing nature, he was drawn by the wiles of some unscrupulous woman into the appearance of questionable relations with her for blackmailing purposes, and refusing to submit to her exactions, a conspiracy was concocted to kill him. The general impression is that the murderer is a Spanish woman, and that she occupied a house owned by the deceased gentleman, and that while visiting her on an innocent mission, he came by the alleged death wound. As nothing but the vaguest rumors are given, they are by no means sufficient to command belief in the story, and it is to be hoped that, if the report is groundless, it will meet a full and emphatic refutation from those who are authority on the subject. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22d.—The Commissioner-General of the Land Office, in deciding the matter of the Kope Mining Company's application for a patent for the Potosi lode, announces the following new and important ruling in regard to the width of all lode claims. Referring to section 3,320 revised statutes, which provides that no claims shall extend more than three hundred feet on each side of a vein at the surface, he says: When a vein outcrops at the surface there can be no question as to the point from which the lateral measurement must begin, but when discovered, if a shaft develops the vein at some distance below the surface and the locator does not determine by any further prospecting that the nearest actual surface point is elsewhere and a fall does not otherwise appear, I am of the opinion that the point of the vein so discovered must be assumed to be the middle of the vein and the lateral measurement be calculated therefrom. The law is mandatory and contemplates that but three hundred feet shall be taken on either side of a vein, and compliance with the law necessitates fixing a point from which these measurements begin. I think the rule above indicated is the only one practicable. In of the "locations," a gentleman who visited the place in 1872, and published his report as late as 1877, says tersely: "The whole thing is worthless." Of over 1,300 specimens sent to the Paris Exposition, Los Angeles county claims but two, and neither one of these is characteristic, one being a copper and the other a quicksilver ore. Visitors who have passed through the county in midsummer—who have felt the warm sun and genial breeze of its semi-tropic climate, and feasted the aesthetic eye and the more substantial inner man among the green groves of the orange and lemon—remember the county as a land literally "flowing with milk and honey," where the wheat and the corn and the tropical fruits grow side by side, even at the feet of the snow capped peaks. But no one has ever thought or spoken of Los Angeles as a mineral county. There lies on the desk before us a box of minerals from the Silverado region in the southeastern part of Los Angeles county. There are twelve specimens. One professes to be a tin ore; another is coal; another is a brilliant sulphure from a gold mine, and the remainder are supposed to be ores of silver. None of these have been assayed, but they remind us that others like them and from the same place have been put to the test and not found wanting. They remind us that hundreds and thousands of miners have been rushing to this new mining country within the last month or two; that numberless claims have been staked out; that ores have been extracted and even shipped to San Francisco; that opinions of experts have been sought and given; that developments have been made sufficient to warrant a call for a mill—a call, too, that has not gone unanswered, and that the permanence of the mines has been assured so as to revive trade in the neighboring towns and make a considerable market for the other class of products of the county, drawing supplies from Anaheim if not from Los Angeles itself. Notwithstanding the verdict of the visitor of 1872, Los Angeles coal has become a product of no little importance. It has not become widely known as yet, nor are sufficient facts at hand to warrant a final judgment of it. But this much is certain: considerable capital has found its way into the mines and quite large shipments of coal have been made. Besides the Silverado district and the Black Star coal mines, another part of the county now claims notice for its mineral deposits. But a week or so ago the discovery of very large tracts of graphite was reported almost simultaneously with a similar report from Shasta county. The exact location we believe is not generally known. If the beds are of good quality and in considerable quantity they will in time prove valuable. We have seen no account of the discovery of the Silverado mines. Such an account would be very welcome now. But we have no doubt that the fast increasing development may be laid at the door of the hard times that have driven many sensible men fresh from the overcrowded cities, to seek wages by prospecting or by working persis- NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

A Good Chance for a Good Farmer. of very large tracts of graphite was reported almost simultaneously with a similar report from Shasta county. The exact location we believe is not generally known. If the beds are of good quality and in considerable quantity they will in time prove valuable. We have seen no account of the discovery of the Silverado mines. Such an account would be very welcome now. But we have no doubt that the fast increasing development may be laid at the door of the hard times that have driven many sensible men fresh from the overcrowded cities, to seek wages by prospecting or by working persistently and economically old abandoned claims. Such outgrowths from the hard times have been noticed in other counties. A revival in Nevada county may be instanced, and the discovery and opening up of mining districts in other parts of California and in Nevada, may with a show of reason be ascribed to this cause. But wherever the credit lies, the good has been done, and Los Angeles is henceforth listed as a mining county.—Mining and Scientific Press, Oct. 19. Eloquent Tribute to the North. NASHVILLE, October 21, —John F. House, in accepting the Congressional nomination from the Democrats of the Sixth District, predicted that the next political contest would be free from sectional hatred. He said: "I cannot, fellow citizens, find it in my heart to indulge in feelings of malice towards the people of the North. When I witness their magnanimous conduct towards the Southern people, I feel like pulling off my hat and standing uncovered in their presence. Grander than their victory at Apomatox is the victory won by the people of the North in their generous and noble contributions to the stricken and suffering South. Upon that fatal field the South surrendered her sword. Within the shadow of the dark wing of the pestilence, beside the new made graves of her sons and daughters, with bowed head and tearful eyes, she extends her hands and surrenders her heart to the magnanimous North. God's own hand has bridged the bloody chasm. Let not the ambition of man seek to re-open the wounds and to rekindle the embers of that sectional strife." A CONQUERER OF CONSUMPTION! Hall’s BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. ERADICATES Coughs, Colds, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Asthma, Crops, Whooping Cough, And all Diseases of the Breathing Organs. HALL’S BALSAM IS THE LEADING SPECIFIC FOR CONSUMPTION. It soothes and heals the membrane of the lungs, inflamed and poisoned by the disease, and remedies the night sweats and tightness across the chest, which accompany it. Consumption Is not an incurable malady. It is only necessary to have the right remedy, and HALL’S BALSAM is that remedy. Don't despair of relief, for this benign specific may cure you, even though professional aid fails. READ THE FOLLOWING: Dr. D. D. Wright, of Cincinnati, sends us the subjoined professional endorsement. "I have prescribed Hall's Balsam in a large number of cases, and always with success." He adds that "in one case a patient with every appearance of confirmed consumption, was restored to his usual health soon after commencing to take the Balsam." John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind., writes: "One year ago I was to all appearances in the last stages of consumption, and got so low our doctor said I could not live 24 hours." Mr. Kuhn further states that "after taking nine bottles of Hall's Balsam he is now in perfect health, having used all medicine." The above brief extracts are taken from a MASS OF EVIDENCE which has been accumulating during a period of 20 years, proving the efficacy of Hall's Balsam in all cases where the breathing organs are affected, and showing the estimation in which the remedy is held by the public and the medical profession.
