Their Mines of Wine and Gold—A Pen Picture of the Valley. From the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Dally Eagle. SILVERADO, Los Angeles Co., Cal., February 2d, 1881. In resemblance it is much like a dreamy, Indian Summer day. The sky is almost perfectly clear and the atmosphere just smoky enough to cause the rays of the sun—genial rays indeed—to light up both landscape and vegetation with a tender brightness. The place of outlook is a moderately flat and lichen-covered rock lying on the summit of Mustang Mountain, one of the Sierra de Santa Ana Mountains, with an altitude of about 4,000 feet above the level of the great Pacific and rising within the confines of Santa Rosa Mining District, Los Angeles County, California. The ascent to this outlook, every step toward which gave a corresponding elevation to the spirits, was on the present occasion accomplished by a narrow, zigzag trail over projecting ledges and through thick underbrush, winding upward from the wild and romantic canyon designated in this district as Dark Canyon, a canyon whose trend through these hills is easterly and westerly, and through which winds the road to Silverado, the new and rich mining camp of the Pacific Coast. Though it is net, strictly speaking, a perfect day for clean-cut sketches of scenery, nevertheless the scenes stretching far away on either side from my observatory are, as the eye rests upon them, well defined and full of those eye proceeds inland, finally lose their rolling character and merge at last into rugged, frowning mountains. Far away to the north, across the narrow and picturesque valley through which winds the Santa Ana River, the snow-crowned peaks of the San Bernardino Mountains tower in majestic grandeur. About ten miles northeasterly looms up the dark crown of Temescal Mountain, in the vicinity of which is situated the well known Temescal tin mine. The history of this mine is an interesting one, but I will reserve the description of it for another letter. From a point immediately north of Mustang Mountain, and thence circling to a point east by south, ranges the mineral stained and silver bearing hills of Santa Rosa Mining District. They are literally painted with yellow and red and the various colors which tell of decomposing minerals, and these hues blending with the dark green foliage and the lighter green grasses on either side form a striking picture. The Grayback belt is the most conspicuous for bright colors, being so distinctly marked out as to be easily traced with the naked eye for miles. Its direction is northeast and southwest. Directly east, and seemingly right at our feet, where the Dark Canyon has widened into a charming little valley, lies the chief camp of this district, Silverado, whose description has already appeared in the Eagle. About one mile to the westward is a black hole in the side of a hill—the entrance to one of the tunnels of the Santa Clara coal mine, and three miles beyond is situated the Black Star coal mine. A few words with reference to these mines: The Santa Clara THE UNDERSIGNED IS PREPARED TO FURISH to farmers all kinds of Farming MACHINERY, Hardware, Groceries, PAINTS AND OILS CROCKERY & LAMPS Always on hand.

WILL MAKE Liberal Advances ON WOOL. BLACKSMITHING AND WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Leon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McDermott, and respectfully solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. the present occasion accomplished by a narrow, zigzag trail over projecting ledges and through thick underbrush, winding upward from the wild and romantic canyon designated in this district as Dark Canyon, a canyon whose trend through these hills as easterly and westerly, and through which winds the road to Silverado, the new and rich mining camp of the Pacific Coast. Though it is not, strictly speaking, a perfect day for clean-cut sketches of scenery, nevertheless the scenes stretching far away on either side from my observatory are, as the eye rests upon them, well defined and full of those qualities of magnitude, impressiveness and beauty which are so well calculated to excite deep admiration and exhilaration, even to an effervescing degree. There are no sharp angles anywhere, on either side, to mar the line of beauty which gracefully curves from rock-ribbed hills and snowy summits on the distant right to the sunlit waves of the Pacific on the left, winding and interlacing between these two limits over a fertile and flowery-robed valley—a nymph of the sea, reclining against rolling foothills, her dimpled feet toying with the blue waters, around whose brow circles a wreath of legendary and historical gems—the lower portion of Los Angeles valley and all of Santa Ana valley. We are looking from the same hills which, in 1602, met the admiring gaze of the Spanish discoverer, Don Sebastian Viscayno, while sailing in yonder blue waters searching for the then supposed Island of California. Off to the left in the dim distance is the harbor of San Diego, where his vessel was anchored. And we are looking down upon the same valley—yet not the same—which, later on, was taken possession of by the Spanish missionaries who, after erecting here and there missions, attempted with the rod and pistol, instead of love and kind treatment, to convert the dark hued savages to Christianity. What a wonderful change this valley has undergone since that time, especially since the American occupation—a change which, while it has disrobed her of a primitive dress inspiring to the poetic eye, has given back adornments quite as pleasing and certainly more in keeping with the wants of an enlightened people. The Angel City—Los Angeles—just dimly discerned far off to the right, but which we know to be a city in stately pride of brick and stone, is equally as inspiring as the reed and twig Indian village, Yang-na, which it displaced. And the happy songs of an energetic, industrious people, as they rise throughout the length and breadth of the valley, are as thrilling as the old-time pensive quietness which is said once to have reigned here. We do indeed lament the loss of the leafy forest of oaks, and sycamores and willows which tradition declares to have existed throughout this valley in the primitive days, when the aborigines were the lords of the soil; we do mourn the lordly rivers of that time, but we are better pleased with the great railroad and its iron horse, the network of irrigating ditches and the fertile farms watered by them, the thousands bright colors, being so distinctly marked out as to be easily traced with the naked eye for miles. Its direction is northeast and southwest. Directly east, and seemingly right at our feet, where the Dark Canyon has widened into a charming little valley, lies the chief camp of this district, Silverado, whose description has already appeared in the Eagle. About one mile to the westward is a black hole in the side of a hill—the entrance to one of the tunnels of the Santa Clara coal mine, and three miles beyond is situated the Black Star coal mine. A few words with reference to these mines: The Santa Clara coal mine was discovered in February, 1878, about the time of the first silver discoveries at Silverado. The owners located three hundred and twenty acres, and from the time of its discovery until now it has been almost constantly worked, shipping its coal into the adjacent towns and throughout the county generally. The coal is of a hard, brittle quality and of the bituminous variety, and gives great satisfaction to the consumers. Two main gangways and several side drifts have been run, aggregating some four hundred feet, and eleven men are kept constantly at work getting out coal. At the mine the coal sells for four dollars per ton; in Los Angeles, from seven to eight dollars per ton. The roads leading to the mine are excellent, and six-horse teams commonly haul from four to five tons at a load. The supply is supposed to be practically inexhaustible. The Black Star mine was discovered in 1877, and subsequently the Black Star Coal Mining Company was incorporated. The mine is located about sixteen miles easterly from the Town of Anaheim, about three miles westerly from the Santa Clara, and the coal is of the same excellent quality as that found in the latter mine. Last week the Santa Clara mine changed hands, passing into the hands of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and I am informed that it is the purpose of this company to at once open the mine on an extensive scale. These coal mines, lying so close to Silverado, will be of great value to that camp when mills are put up there. Resuming once more the outlying objects from Mustang Mountain, I desire next to call the attention to the famous Town of Anaheim, lying about twenty miles off to my right. This town is the fair and chosen daughter of the Santa Ana Valley, around whose brow is wreathed a history intensely interesting and instructive. For an account of the establishment of Anaheim Colony, I must, for want of space, refer the reader to Nordhoff's book on California. It will pay well to peruse the story there told. Anaheim Township contains some 68,000 acres of land, about 58,000 of which is good agricultural land, and the balance suitable for pasturage. Several artesian wells, together with two large ditches which tap the Santa Ana River—the Anaheim ditch and the Cajon ditch—furnish the water supply to the tillers. The grain crops of the township are barley, corn and wheat, of each of which there is a large acreage annually. Last year BLACKSMITHING AND WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McDermott, and respectfully solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. One part of the shop is occupied by Mr. T. L. GAN-NON, Wagonmaker, who is prepared to do all kinds of woodwork in a thorough manner and at cheap rates. Messrs. Stough and Gannon are jointly agents for The Osborn Farm Machinery, Consulting of Mowers, Reapers, Self-Binders, etc. Also agent for the Studebaker and other celebrated FARM WAGONS. W. A.

Center Street, Anaheim. Perhaps I may be able to interest some of my Brooklyn friends, who just now are busily engaged with muffs and great-coats in warding off the lances of winter, if I particularize some of the outlying views. From a point off to the northwest, distant about fifty miles, thence circling outward and around to a point south by west, the eye first contemplates a great belt of the broad Pacific, out of whose waters here and there, like moving monsters of the deep, rise the well-known islands of Santa Barbara, Santa Catalina and San Clemente. The old ocean appears placid and gentle and as inviting as a tranquil lake; but we feel, in the present instance, that appearances are deceptive, for we see here and there, looking along the coast, particularly at Point Firman, great white-capped breakers dashing high into the air, which tell of a disturbed if not angry surface. Next, moving inland, basking in the rays of a warm sun the valley lies before us, fresh and beautiful, like a magnificent park after a June rain. Its slightly undulating surface, the long views of verdure and growing fields of wheat and barley, the orange groves, the picturesque towns of Anaheim, Santa Ang, Orange, Westminster, Tustin City and Garden Grove, with their framing trees—all conspire to form A MATCHLESS PICTURE. Bordering this valley on the east is a line or group of carpeted, rolling foothills, which gradually rising higher and higher as the rise throughout the length and breadth of the valley, are as thrilling as the old-time pensive quietness which is said once to have reigned here. We do indeed lament the loss of the leafy forest of oaks, and sycamores and willows which tradition declares to have existed throughout this valley in the primitive days, when the aborigines were the lords of the soil; we do mourn the lordly rivers of that time, but we are better pleased with the great railroad and its iron horse, the network of irrigating ditches and the fertile farms watered by them, the thousands of fragrant semi-tropical fruit orchards, the stretches of vineyards with their wine vaults, the gardens, the towns and their fringing groves, which stand instead thereof. These, while they afford abundant food for the poetic spirit, also give back an abundance of the creature comforts and great wealth to the country.

The most conspicuous for distinctly marked out with the naked eye for southeast and southward seemingly right at Canyon has widenable valley, lies the t, Silverado, whose appeared in the to the westward is a hill—the entrance of the Santa Clara coal beyond is situated the few words with: The Santa Clara borders of poplars, willows, and sycamores—in some places hedges of rose bushes and evergreens—are inviting drives and pleasing promenades. The residences are, with few exceptions, frame buildings of pleasing designs, neatly painted and surrounded by such attractions as bordered walks, evergreens trimmed to various forms, gardens fragrant with their blossoms the year round, creeping vines, special fruit trees, etc., and these, together with the outbuildings for poultry and stock, conspire to present as pretty a group of homes as one would wish to look upon. The people of Anaheim, particularly the Germans, are hospitable, law abiding, industrious and large hearted to an eminent degree. I will reserve a description of the other towns of this valley for another letter, closing this with a paragraph on the latest outlook at Silverado. Silverado is not yet a producing camp—in a bullion sense—but she has brought forth some new and important discoveries during the past few months of such character as to insure the erection of smelting works in the near future, quite probably before the close of 1881. Indeed, in view of the silver deposits now disclosed here, it would be quite as easy for the last year's chicken to put itself back into the egg as for Silverado to remain any great length of time without either mill or smelter. These late strikes comprise, in brief, a seven foot vein of high grade ore opened up by Messrs. Thomas Harvey and Harry Thistlewaite, on the Blue Light claim; a five foot ledge, recently cut on the Glittering King, whose average assay is $109,96, silver; a PACIFIC COAST NEWS. The farmers in Carson valley fear their crops will be destroyed the coming season by grasshopper. It is said the land in that valley is literally covered with grasshopper eggs. At Walla Walla on Saturday, Charles Smithson was ploughing, when his horses ran away. The plough caught his right rib and ripped him open up to the arm-pit. He is likely to die. At Brandy City, near Camptonville, on Saturday, a Welshman, named Jones, fell on the saw in the sawmill, split his skull, torc an eye out and cut off one arm. He cannot possibly live. Alexander Arnott, a native of Scotland, was instantly killed by a blast in his gravel mine at the same place. A three-year-old daughter of F. B. Martin, at Lafayette, Oregon, narrowly escaped death last week. The little girl jumped out of bed in the morning and ran to the fire, when by some chance her night clothes were ignited, and before her mother could smother the flames the child was badly burned. The Postoffice regulations now forbid the transmission to British Columbia by mail of merchandise, such as trade samples, weighing over eight ounces; and all such packages weighing less than eight ounces, even if weighing only a fraction of an ounce, must bear 10 cents' worth of postage.

At the four dollars per ton; seven to eight dollars leading to the mine are three teams commonly at a load. The be practically inexhausted Star mine was subsequently the Black company was incorporated about sixteen miles from Anaheim, about from the Santa Clara, same excellent quality better mine. Last week changed hands, passed to the Southern Pacific and I am informed that this company to at once extensive scale. These close to Silverado, will that camp when mills are the outlying objects again, I desire next to the famous Town of twenty miles off to the fair and chosen Ana Valley, around used a history intensely active.

Last year such character as to insure the erection of smelting works in the near future, quite probably before the close of 1881. Indeed, in view of the silver deposits now disclosed here, it would be quite as easy for the last year's chicken to nut itself back into the egg as for Silverado to remain any great length of time without either mill or smelter. These late strikes comprise, in brief, a seven foot vein of high grade ore opened up by Messra. Thomas Harvey and Harry Thistlewaite, on the Blue Light claim; a five foot ledge, recently cut on the Glittering King, whose average assay is $109,96, silver; a ledge on the Princess Claim, approximating five feet in width and carrying ore which ranges between $100 and $200 per ton; a two foot ledge of rich galena on the Woodruff Claim, and two ledges of almost solid galena, recently cut by a tunnel on the Dunlap Claim, the ore ranging from $60 to $1,000 per ton. These strikes have all been made along the line of the Grayback Ledge, and in every case the ledges are well defined and are considered, without a doubt, to be permanent fissure veins. The most important of these discoveries is the one made on the Dunlap Claim, which is nothing less than a genuine prize. The discovery was made by Mr. H. W. Lake, while superintending the driving in of a tunnel on the claim in question, a short time back. The design of the tunnel was to cut the Grayback Ledge about 200 feet below the original diggings. About ninety-five feet in the workmen began to cut into galena, and before the day closed they had passed through a ledge three feet in thickness. LITERALLY PACKED WITH THE METAL. This find was a complete surprise all around. Calculations had been made to cut the Grayback in a distance of two hundred feet, and when the tunnel was started nothing was known of an intervening vein. The assays of ore from this vein have uniformly ranged high; I have not the actual figures. A short incline on this ledge showed an increase in its width. Work then was resumed on the tunnel in accordance with the original design, and after passing in two hundred and twenty feet gust twelve feet beyond the point at which Mr. Lake had calculated to strike the ledge, the men once more began cutting into galena and continued doing so until finally a ledge measuring nine feet and ten inches was the result. It is almost a solid body of galena,the assays made from it ranging, as I have already mentioned, from sixty dollars to one thousand dollars per ton. The excitement and satisfaction produced by this showing among the owners of the claim and the miners generally may easily be imagined. A result of these late discoveries may be seen in the fact that three new companies have been organized, one to operate the Flannigan mine—next from the Dunlap; one to work the Dunlap,and one to work the Blue Light,the claim showing the seven foot ledge cut by Harvey and Thistlewaite. The showing of ore on the Flannigan claim was described in a former letter. The work of taking out ore such character as to insure the erection of smelting works in the near future, quite probably before the close of 1881. Indeed, in view of the silver deposits now disclosed here, it would be quite as easy for the last year's chicken to nut itself back into the egg as for Silverado to remain any great length of time without either mill or smelter. These late strikes comprise, in brief,a seven foot vein of high grade ore opened up by Messra. Thomas Harvey and Harry Thistlewaite, on the Blue Light claim; a five foot ledge, recently cut on the Glittering King, whose average assay is $109,96, silver; a ledge on the Princess Claim, approximating five feet in width and carrying ore which ranges between $100 and $200 per ton; a two foot ledge of rich galena on the Woodruff Claim,and two ledges of almost solid galena, recently cut by a tunnel on the Dunlap Claim,the ore ranging from $60 to $1,000 per ton. These strikes have all been made along the line of the Grayback Ledge,and in every case the ledges are well defined and are considered without a doubt,to be permanent fissure veins.

It will pay history there told. Anaheim some 68,000 acres of which is good agriculture balance suitable for cartesian wells, together with which tap the Santa Anaheim ditch and the bath the water supply to in crops of the township of wheat, of each of which range annually. Last year here sown to wheat alone. Valence, of this township and lemons, the acreage shooting up between 200 holes, peaches, nectarines, also do well here, but grown in smaller quantities use. The growth of Picture of WINES Indest boast. There are about 1,300,000 vines, and of her wines and brandies not the proper statisticures on this point, but actual cases will give a hint to the industry. One company & Co., who have a New York, made in 1679 wine and 15,000 gallons of oak acres Mr. J. P. Zeyn 100 to 14,000 gallons of general years past. Henry spent twenty thousand gal-les from twenty to millions. Of the other in-cess one tannery, two fruit mills, and a cannery in construct mills, one steam planeries, two banks and a small short, nearly every business.

The excitement and satisfaction produced by this showing among the owners of the claim and the miners generally may easily be imagined. A result of these late discoveries may be seen in the fact that three new companies have been organized, one to operate the Flannigan mine—next from the Dunlap; one to work the Dunlap, and one to work the Blue Light, the claim showing the seven foot ledge cut by Harvey and Thistlewaite. The showing of ore on the Flannigan claim was described in a former letter. The work of taking out ore on the Dunlap claim has already commenced, under the direction of the Dunlap Mining Company. Many rumors are afloat as to the actual time of the coming reduction works, but as they are considerably tangled I have consigned them to the waste basket, so to speak. I am assured, however, by one of the owners of the Dunlap claim, that Mr. Day, a Colorado smelter, will be looking in here in a few days with an eye to business. On all of the earlier promising strikes, fully described in former letters, developments have steadily been pushed forward in proportion to the means at hand, and in almost every case the outlay has returned flattering results—a tendency on the part of the lodges to increase in width and richness. In short, Silverado, though not actually producing bullion, promises by reason of her later and earlier discoveries to do so in the near future. Her mines now foot up a goodly number. Following are some of the names: Santiago Gold and Silver Mining Company, Mint Mine, Princess Mine, Pearson's Folly, Flannigan, Dunlap, Blue Light, Phoenix, 6 and S. Mountain View, Glittering King, Woodruff, Alleghany, American, Southern Bell—all on the Greenback lode; Emma Mine, Southern Slope, Silver Prize, Mammoth, Mount Hope, Dexter, St. Julius, Queen and others—cutting mines. As the developments program I shall endeavor to keep my Brooklyn friends posted. BRAINARD SMITH. By a decree of the Khodive, Egyptian dervishes are henceforth forbidden to eat and slash themselves with swords and knives, to beat themselves with great halls of iron, and finally, to howl themselves into epileptic fits on fete days. He also commands them not to eat snakes, swallow burning coals or crunch glass. The Khodive's order is regarded in conservative clerical circles in Egypt as a deadly blow at religious liberty. Board within fifteen days from date, to show cause why the new railroad tariff adopted by the Commissioners shall not go into effect on the 20th day after service. The Board will meet on the 6th of April,and will continue in session from day to day until all business now pending before it shall have been disposed of. There are fourteen companies affected, as follows: Southern Pacific, Los Angeles and San Diego, Los Angeles and Independence, Central Pacific, Stockton and Copperopolis, Amador Branch, North Pacific Coast, San Francisco and North Pacific, California Pacific, Vaern Valley and Clear Lake, Northern Railway, Sacramento and Placerville, South Pacific Coast, southern Pacific (Northern Division)—S. Bulletin, April 1. The following is verbatim the language used by a complainant in a country court in Germany. It was a suit by man and wife against a neighbor whom they accused of having caused the death of their two little pigs by witchcraft: "You couldn't see any marks on their bodies at all. In the evening they were healthy; ate heartily; the piggy was locked; and in the morning one of them was already dead. The defendant crossed the yard during the night and bowtied them. I speak to you, Judge; so to a father, and I implore you to make her give you the doctor books she has got. In throw it stands how to bowtie. Besides she has before this made me and my husband long by witchcraft." When the sail was dismissed,the complainants said they would appeal,and as they went out,the husband exclaimed: "This we cannot lose; it is impossible." A Connecticut man writes to the Hartford Times that he has become acquainted in South Carolina where he is temporarily staying,with remarkably prolific famилиm.His refers particularly to twenty that belong to the select society of Charleston and Columbia,and that average over 16 children each,the twenty having together 228 children,and the number that belongs to each ranging from 10 to 25.The writer knows also of two families that had ten successive years,and one that had twelve two years and triplets the third.He thinks it would not have been surprising had Smith Carolina shown a greater increase than 400 during the past ten years.
