The new Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met in their first regular session on Saturday last. There were present Directors Louis Schorn, W. M. McFadden, B. F. Porter, L. Browning, W. F. Botaford, Thos. Strain and H. Kroeger. Mr. Botaford was elected President. For the position of Secretary there were two nominations, L. Browning and B. V. Garwood. The vote resulted: Browning 4, Garwood 3. Mr. Browning was thereupon declared elected. For Treasurer P. James and S. Littlefield were nominated. The vote stood: James 5, Littlefield 2. Mr. James was consequently declared elected. After the election of officers, the board considered the report of the special Board of Audit, appointed at the annual meeting of two weeks ago to further investigate the accounts of Secretary Gardiner. The report is as follows: ANAHEIM, February 6, 1891. To the Honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company: GREETKEN—We, the Board of Audit, appointed at an annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company held January 24, 1891, respectively submit the following report: We have examined the statement and the report of the preceding Auditing Committee submitted at that meeting and find said report to be correct so far as we have been able to find any memoranda. We find the amount of cash due from the Secretary of your company from all themoranda we were able to obtain, as follows: To cash on hand as per report Jan. 24, 1891...$602 Received from water sales, as per memoranda Found in Secretary’s office, to Feb. 5, 1891...$388 Total.....$1,074 90 Paid to Treasurer Jan. 21th and 29th...$274 73 Balance due from Secretary.....$609 21 We find up to Friday, February 6, 1891, at 12 o’clock no work had been done on the books of the company since the report of the last Auditing Committee was rendered, viz.: January 24, 1891. On examination of the Secretary’s semi-monthly report to the Board of Directors we find them to be informal because we did not give them a follow-up. For example we give the following instances: In the semi-monthly report of January 10, 1891: ing to and fro, when a convenient telephone line would obviate all this. An order sent from the office would be received by the head zanjero in no time, and the necessary volume of water would be at once turned into the ditch. The water would thus start immediately, instead of having to wait several hours, as at present, or until such time as the Superintendent could ride to the head of the ditch and give his orders and adjust things. The committee are to examine into the practicability of the telephone line and the necessary expense, and report at the next meeting. The board decided to advertise for proposals for the places of Superintendent and zanjeros, the same to be submitted at the next meeting of the board. The advertisement will be found elsewhere. Several other matters that require attention, such as the cleaning of the branch ditches by contract, the keeping of books by the Superintendent and zanjeros to show the amount of water received into the upper ditch and amount delivered to irrigators, and other matters of a more or less interesting nature were discussed, and laid over to a future meeting. These matters will all be gone over and straightened out and all affairs of the company placed upon a business basis. The new board have started well. Like new brooms they sweep clean. WISE CITY. SOLONS. SOLEMN AND SOMNOLENT THEY INSIST AGAIN ON GRAPPLING WITH AFRAIRS OF STATE MOMENTOUS NOTES OF THE WRESTLING MATCH —THE LAMPLIGHTER GOES ON STRIKE, BUT RESUMES HIS JOB AGAIN. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, President Reiser and Trustees Bennerscheidt, Littlefield, Witte and Schindler. The Secretary read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. The Secretary reported the collection of $332 45 for water and licenses. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Treasurer submitted his monthly report, showing a total of $982 in bank in favor of the city. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Clerk’s report showed the collection of $5 53 during the month, which he had turned over to the Treasurer. The Secretary’s quarterly report of the financial condition of the city, up to February lst, showed a balance of $648 05 in favor of the city. Referred to the Finance Committee. LIFE IN THE THIEF INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS OCCURRENCE—HOW PUT IN A “SHOT” CHOICE The following incidents occurred at the Santiago Mining Company east of Anahiem, and are not dangers that continually tollers underground. Dynamite is used constrict in the hard rock. A dynamite greatly a common cause shape and is yellow in color “shot,” a hole is drilled in rock in a slanting direction inches deep. A piece of length is then cut off, a pushed over the end, a made in one end of the dynamic cap is then fastened carefully let down into afterwards “tamped” with end of the cap on the end exploded port, doing no damage. We have drawn the fuse and “tamped” hole, and how it straight out of the tunnel wail (the least jar or strike) exploded the cap) could not be shot afterward cautious injured. In one of the company’s tests so many windings and shaking about an hour for the same clear away, and the miners two or three shots, and tounge before going to meals, so that to work the tunnels are prepared of smoke. About three hours in Tunnel No. 5 came down unsupplied and reported to them; he put in three shots but had him go off, and cautioned him in picking out the missed later night shift work and forgot all about once in working his pick at soft and when he withdrew yellow paper in which it wrapped was sticking to a piece of the unexploded shell say that that miner was “it very mildly.” He proceeded... that meeting and find said report to be correct, so far as we have been able to find by any memoranda. We find the amount of cash due from the Secretary of your company from all memoranda we were able to obtain, as follows: To cash on hand as per report Jan. 24, 1891, $690 23 received from water sales, as per memoranda. Found in Secretary's office, to Feb. 5, 1891, $388 71 Total: $1,074 96 Paid to Treasurer Jan. 21th and 28th: $274 75 Balance due from Secretary: $809 21 We find that up to Friday, February 6, 1891, at 12 o'clock no work had been done on the last Auditing Committee the report of the last Auditing Committee was rendered, viz.: January 24, 1891. On examination of the Secretary's semi-monthly report to the Board of Directors we find them to be informal, incomplete and misleading. For example we give the following instances: In the semi-monthly report of January 10, 1891 he writes: "Tailed to Treasurer a balance of $15 60 and voucher received," for which we find no voucher from the Treasurer, and again in the semi-monthly report of the Secretary of January 17, 1891, he states: "Balance in safe $17 70," whereas there should have been, according to the memoranda received up to that date, the sum of $523 85, as follows: Cash balance as per report Audit Committee on January 18, 1891. Received from sales of water to Jan. 17, 1891. 40 50 Received from John Cabone. 8 00 Total: $614 75 Less cash expended as per his report of January 10th and 17th: $84 90 Leaving a difference of $512 16. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS STRAIN, M. NEELUNG, ALEX. WRIGHT. When the report was read, all eyes were turned toward the Secretary, who remained standing in the corner lack of the President, conversing with friends. Mr. Strain arose and moved that a demand be made upon the Secretary for the amount of the shortage. The Secretary advanced to the table and, somewhat agitated, insisted that he had the right to have the books of his office experted by professional experts. He said that if a shortage of even five mills were found he was ready to turn over the amount whatever it might be. But he claimed the right to have his books examined by experts. He said he would pay the expenses of the experting himself. By the advice of his attorney he refused to pay a cent in restitution of the shortage until his books had been gone over by a professional expert. Secretary Brownning was authorized to make a formal demand upon Dr. Gardiner for the amount of the shortage—$801 25. The board then considered the request of Messrs. Fowler and Minor to be furnished water on their lands situated outside of the company's boundaries. The board decided to deliver them water if the gentlemen would wave all rights to demand water in future by virtue of the fact that water had been furnished them at present. It is necessary to say that Messrs Minor and Fowler are not stockholders in the water company, and consequently by constitution and by laws are not entitled to water to the detriment of the shareholders in the company. But as there is a surplus of water at present, and the Board of Directors desire to do the right thing by the gentlemen, who are newcomers here, they will be furnished all the water they need. Mr. Fowler languingly declared that he and Mr. Minor were entirely willing to waive all rights that might possibly accrue to them by the fact that they had been furnished water without holding stock in the company. The matter was then referred to the attorney of the company, to draw up a contract to that effect, and the goose hung at an eminently respectable distance from terra firma. The board then adjourned to Monday morning at 10 o'clock, when the matter of Dr. Gardiner's shortage was again taken The Secretary reported the collection of $332 45 for water and licenses. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Treasurer submitted his monthly report, showing a total of $982 in bank in favor of the city. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Clerk's report showed the collection of $5 53 during the month, which he had turned over to the Treasurer. The Secretary's quarterly report of the financial condition of the city, up to February lst, showed a balance of $648 05 in favor of the city. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Committee on Public Improvements reported that one water pipe had been placed on Lemon street, and four street tamps placed in different parts of the city; also the grading and repair of streets. The Finance Committee introduced an ordinance fixing the time and place for the holding of the meetings of the board, the ordinance previously published having been inaccurate in that the certificate of the Clerk had not been appended to it. The ordinance was adopted, and taking the regular course was laid over to the next meeting for final disposal. The adoption of this new ordinance is a preliminary step to the calling of an election to issue bonds for the improvement of the streets and city water works and for the erection of a City Hall. Mr. Chynoweth stated that the election could not be held before May 15th, the intervening time to be taken up by the necessary publication of the ordinances required by law. Mr. Chynoweth was employed to draft all necessary ordinances, and to see to their proper passage, etc., he to receive $50 for the work. The board discussed the advisability of the issuance of bonds at some length, the Committee on Public Improvements finally being instructed to make an estimate of the expenditures necessary in the improvements contemplated, the same to be discussed at the next meeting. The issuance of bonds for these improvements will be referred to at length in those columns next week. The special committee on deeds for sidewalk purposes asked for further time. Granted. The Clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Krug to put down a cement sidewalk in front of his building on Center street, in accordance with the city ordinance relating to sidewalks. Mr. Rimpau appeared before the board and requested that the street-car company be allowed to take ground from ungraded streets to be placed on the street-car track. The request was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. Manual Bustamente asked for the construction of a bridge over the ditch on Santa Ana street at the intersection of Olive, over which he travels in going and coming from his home. Referred to the Committee on Public Improvements for investigation, so report at the next meeting. The Clerk was instructed to procure an inventory of tools purchased by the city during the past two years. The Clerk read a petition from John P. Zoy requesting that his property on Los Angeles and North streets be allowed to revert to agriculture property. The matter was set for hearing at the next regular meeting. Engineer Schneider asked that he be allowed to make necessary alterations and repairs at the city water works. Referred to Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. Herr Kraffke, the city lamplighter, appeared before the board and announced his readiness. The Secretary reported the collection of $332 45 for water and licenses. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Treasurer submitted his monthly report, showing a total of $982 in bank in favor of the city. Referred to the Finance Committee. The Clerk's report showed the collection of $5 53 during the month, which he had turned over to the Treasurer.

Secretary Browning had in the mean time made a formal demand upon the Doctor for the money, but the latter gentleman had positively refused to pay it before an expert accounting of the books. The board thereupon ordered the attorney of the company to begin suit against the bondmen of the Secretary for the amount. The Secretary gives bonds in $2,000, the sureties qualifying in double the amount. He qualifies himself in $2,000, and D. J. Krasmer and Leonard Parker are down for a thousand each. The bond is technically termed gilt-edged. In the matter of the appointment of the committee to confer with the committee of the irrigation district concerning the transfer of the old company's stock on a bond basis, Mr. Strain moved that the Board of Directors be named as a committee of the whole to act in that capacity. The motion for the appointment of the committee had prevailed at Saturday's meeting but the President said he would defer the appointment of the committee for a day or two. It transpired that he had appointed Messrs. Porter, Browning and Kroeger, when Mr. Strain moved to appoint the whole board, which was done, and Messrs. Strain, McFadden, Schorn and Botsford were added to the committee. The Secretary was ordered to make out three stock lists to enable the zanjers to act more properly in the distribution of water. Messrs. McFadden and Strain were appointed a committee to investigate the matter of a telephone line from the office to the head of the ditch, and the expense necessary for the construction thereof. At present, when it is found necessary to turn in an extra supply of water into the upper ditch or to shut it off entirely, the Superintendent is required to leave his work and repair to the upper ditch and see that the necessary orders are fulfilled. Some days his entire time is spent in travel. The Clerk was instructed to procure an inventory of tools purchased by the city during the past two years. The Clerk read a petition from John R. Zayn requesting that his property on Los Angeles and North streets be allowed to revert to arrears property. The matter was set for hearing at the next regular meeting. Engineer Schneider asked that he be allowed to make necessary alterations and repairs at the city water works. Referred to Committee on Public Improvements with power to act. Herr Kraffke, the city lamplighter, appeared before the board and announced his intention positively of going out on strike and sending for his walking delegate immediately if his salary of $15 per month were not raised to $25. Herr Kraffke cannot speak English, but he claims he has hit the lamps faithfully in English ever since he took the job, and he insists the salary is not enough. The board split the difference and offered him $20, in view of the fact that several new lamps have recently been put up. Herr Kraffke spurned the offer, and Herr Bonnerscheid announced that he would like to have the job himself if $25 were the salary. After a lot of diplomacy, in which the members of the board diplomatized all around the lamplighter, Herr Kraffke announced that on second thought he would accept of the $20 after all, although the sad smile that played in and out of his whiskers looked as if he thought the life of the lamplighter was not a happy one. The following bills were audited and ordered paid: Joseph Helmsen, one ledger ... 8 02 C. Hraffe, lamplighter's salary ... 15 00 M. Nebelung, Gork's salary, etc ... 27 00 Jacob Ruf, street work ... 12 75 A. Schnelder, engineer's salary ... 50 00 H. A. Booge, street work ... 1 20 Mrs. Schnelder, two months' rent ... 16 00 Thosel Flouet, printing ... 2 25 Wommer & Stock, handling, etc ... 31 00 H. A.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS OF DAILY OCCURRENCE—HOW THE MINERS PUT IN A "SHOT" OF DYNAMITE. The following incidents occurred recently at the Santiago Mining Company's mines east of Anaheim, and are related by one of the owners of the mines as illustrative of the dangers that continually beset the hardy toilers underground. Dynamite is used constantly for blasting in the hard rock. A dynamite stick resembles greatly a common candle in size and shape and is yellow in color. To put in a "shot," a hole is drilled in the face of the rock in a slanting direction, about 12 to 18 inches deep. A piece of fuse the required length is then cut off, a dynamite cap is pushed over the end, a hole is carefully made in one end of the dynamite stick and the cap is then fastened in and the stick carefully let down into the hole, which is afterwards "tamped" with earth. The loose end of the fuse, which projects from the hole some inches, is then touched off with a match, and the men run out of the tunnel and wait for the shot to explode and the tunnel to be cleared of smoke. One day a shot had been fired, and the men were waiting outside for the explosion, when suddenly there was a "whizzing" noise, and the piece of fuse came sailing out of the mouth of the tunnel, flew straight across the canyon for a distance of two or three hundred feet, when the cap on the end exploded with a loud report, doing no damage. What force could have drawn the fuse and cap out of the "tamped" hole, and how it could have come straight out of the tunnel without striking a wall (the least jar or strike would have exploded the cap) could not be explained. The shot was afterward cautiously dug out uninjured. In one of the company's tunnels there are so many windings and shatters that it takes about an hour for the smoke of a shot to clear away, and the miners generally put in two or three shots, and touch them off just before going to meals, so that on returning to work the tunnels are pretty well cleared of smoke. About three weeks ago a miner in Tunnel No. 5 came down to the camp for supper and reported to the man who worked his place on the night shift that he had put in three shots but had heard only two of them go off, and cautioned him to be careful in picking out the missed shot. An hour later the night shift man went to work and forget all about the affair. All at once in working his pick struck something soft and when he withdrew it a piece of the yellow paper in which the dynamite is wrapped was sticking to the point. It was a piece of the unexplored cartridge, and to say that that miner was "seared" is to put it very mildly. He proceeded after that. Kleinigkeiten. —Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. —There is talk of the formation of a gentlemen's club. Good idea. —The Citrus Fair Committee of this county meets at Santa Ana at 2 o'clock this afternoon. —Chiucese New Year began on Saturday afternoon. There were lots of fire cracker, bombs, roast pig and heathenish devilment. —The Ladies Industrial Society will meet at the residence of Mrs. Hack this afternoon. In connection with the above a missionary meeting will also be held. —Judging by the profusion of valentines on display in Landlord Helmsen's daylight store, one would be led to believe that St. Valentine's day approaches. What? —Mr. Goodale contemplates putting out his newly purchased twenty-acre tract west of town in oranges and walnuts. The country is fast settling up and being improved. —A Los Angeles paper, speaking of the "blow" that prevailed near that place on Sunday, says: "Ground that had been ploughed was laveled to the ground." For heaven's sake! —Mrs. Boldt by her will devised all of her property to her son Lawrence and her daughter, Mrs. Gustav Heimann of Los Angeles. The property is valued at several thousand dollars. —F. G. Ryau informs us that he has sold his orange crop for $8,000. His limes brought him in $2,500. The orchard is one of the best in the State, and its profits are constantly increasing. —Gentlemen who desire to act as Superintendent or Zanjofo of the water company will find a notice of interest to them in our advertising columns. Proposals to do the work pertaining to these positions will be received by the Secretary. —On next Saturday evening occurs the first of the Saturday evening hops inaugurated by Manager Miller of the Hotel del Campo.

Prof. Stahrl has performed before the crowned heads of Europe, and at Washington gave a concert at the White House by invitation of the President. He bears many flattering testimonials from distinguished people, including the President, all of which he is richly entitled to. His audience here was small, owing to the fact that little if any publicity had been given the announcement of the concert. He may be prevailed upon to visit us again, in which event all lovers of music should make it a point to hear him. PERSONAL MELANGE. Ile Stone and Miss Emma Dierkson of Fullerton were married on Monday. We tender our congratulations. Charles Hilmer Jr. leaves this morning for Fresno, where he will take up his residence. Success to him. W. S. Fish of Los Angeles is in town renewing old acquaintances. He may remain with us for several weeks. H. F. Barker of Sierra Madre was in town on Tuesday, looking up his taxes in the irrigation district. John Wagner's condition continues to improve steadily, and he will be restored to health in a short time. Williamson Dunn of the Southern California Railroad was in town a few days ago, looking up the freight interests of his road. M.J.Fontanya, the San Francisco commission merchant, has been in town for a few days past, looking at the wonderful resources of this valley. Dr.Johnson of the Westminster Tribune was in to see us last week. He reports the Westminster people all in favor of the cross-country railroad. R.Bosshard of Hamilton, Ohio, an old subscriber to THE GAZETTE, arrived in town on Sunday, having been drawn to Anaheim by the rosy accounts of our prosperity as set forth in these columns. Mr.Bosshard has about made up his mind to remain with us. O.L.Green, brother-in-law of Dr.Hunt, has arrived in town with his family from Wisconsin. Mr.Green brings with him a carload of furniture and farming implements, and will begin the erection of a dwelling on his lately purchased lot on Kellogg avenue, West Anaheim, for the construction of which Clarence Great has the contract.

Four new street lamps have been placed in position during the week, one in front of the Del Campo Hotel, one at the corner of Los Angeles and Sycamore streets, one near Fritz Ruhman's place of business on Los Angeles street, and the other on the corner of Cypress and Emile streets, near the schoolhouse. Mrs. Dorothea Synold, mother of Mrs. N. Hart, died at the family residenced on Monday last, aged 73 years. Deceased was buried on Tuesday, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large cortege of sorrowing friends. The family have the sympathy of all in their great affliction. Collector Cadman began the sale of delinquent property in the Anaheim Irrigation District on Monday. He is taking his time about it, postponing the sale from day to day, so that delinquents may have a chance to pay up without having their property sold. The railroad taxes are expected in shortly. Meera Perry, Ey and Shorn, the committee appointed to visit the New river country to ascertain the feeling of the people regarding annexation to this county, report that they found them almost unanimously favor of the scheme.

No damageisreportedabove,someofourLosAngelescontemporarytouseofthecontraryandnotwithstanding! moussie choice of Lieut. Lewis for that important office. The election was held under the direction of Captain (now Colonel) Schreiber of Los Angeles. Sergeant Thomas made the nomination in a felicitous speech. For First Lieutenant, Sergeant Kroeger and Second Lieutenant Browning were placed in nomination. The former was elected by a vote of 21 to 4. After the election the company broke banks and proceeded to the Del Campo Hotel, where a campfire supper had been prepared for the members of the company. A few invited guests had the pleasure of sitting down to the feast with the soldier boys. Among the number were a delegation of Company F of Santa Ana. Full justice was done the viands, after several impromptu toasts were responded to by Capt. Louis, Col. Schreiber, Capt. Wood, Lieuts. Kroeger and Browning, Sergeants Thomass and Pellegrin, Citizen Gade and others. At a late hour the merry revelers dispersed, all unanimous in their conviction that a most enjoyable evening had been spent. When our soldier boys get together there is no discounting the fast they have aolly good time. The election of Captain Lewis gives entire satisfaction to the members of the company. Sergeant Kroeger's promotion is also one eminently fit to be made. With Lieut. Browning, Company G has as capable and well-drilled a set of commissioned officers as any company in the brigade. A word to the boys. Let there be a full attendance at drills, and some spirit instilled into the affairs of the company. Our military company is one of the features of our city, of which she is justly proud, and every guardman should see to it that he is prompt at drills, and always ready to take that interest in the company which is to be expected of the well-trained soldier. To be sure there should be none others in the company. The World Enriched The facilities of the present day for the production of everything that will conduce to the material welfare and comfort of mankind are almost unlimited and when Syrup of Figs was first produced the world was enriched with the only perfect laxative known, as it is the only remedy which is truly pleasing and refreshing to the taste and prompt and effectual to cleanse the system gently on the Spring time or, in fact, at any time and the better it is known the more popular it becomes. Card of Thanks To those neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted me in the late sickness and death of my wife, desire to return my heartfelt and sincere thanks. U. C. KELLOGG.

Parker, formerly of Anhehn: "At half-past nine o'clock last evening, little Ethel Parker, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Parker, passed away, aged seven and one-half years. Little Ethel had been sick only a short time—less than a week—and the news of her death will come as a shock to her little friends and playmates. Ethel was of a generous and sunny disposition, beloved by all who knew her. The heartbroken parents have the sympathy of the whole community in their terrible affliction. The funeral takes place this afternoon, from the residence." The zither concert given by Prof. Stabrl at the Del Campo Hotel on Tuesday evening was a notable exhibition of the Professor's extraordinary powers. His playing is wonderfully clever, sweet and enchanting. The programme embraced selections from the operas, concert reveries, marches, etc., in each of which the delicacy of the Professor's execution was remarkable. The Tyroler song, on bow zither, was the sweetest music we have heard in many a long day, and the difficult military potpourri served to illustrate the flexible range and compass of the gimmery, the outlook for pleasant weather or anything else was particularly discouraging. No damage was done, however, and on Monday morning the wind subsided and we had pleasant weather. The wind at Chino was so violent that the walls of the sugar refinery, which had been built up to the second story, were blown down, causing damages to the extent of $7,500. Many acres of land that had been ploughed and seeded were swept bare, leaving no indication of the cultivation. No damage is reported hereabouts, some of our Los Angeles contemporaries to the contrary and notwithstanding. Enamedled Photographs.
