ONE CITY BOILER DEFECTIVE. Its Use by the City May Nullify Insurance Upon the Three Boilers at the Power-house. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening a communication was read from the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance company pointing out defects in one of the three boilers at the power-house. The new Sterling boiler was found to be in excellent shape, but the following paragraphs indicated the necessity for immediate repairs to one of the horizontal tubular boilers: "Internally (horizontal tubular boilers)—Found braces sound and taut; flanges of heads show no evidences of crack. There is a heavy scale on the back end of both boilers on the bottom, also between tubes. A few slight pits on No. 1 were found, but not of any serious consequence as yet. There are some heavy pits on the bottom of boiler No. 2. "Externally—Found sheets straight, seams and tubes tight; water glasses, safety valves, gauge cocks and all the fittings on boilers are in good working order. "We would recommend that tubes be taken out of boiler No. 1, cleaned, placed and reset, and boiler thoroughly scaled; scale cleaned off bottom and tubes of boiler No. 2, without removing tubes, as this boiler will be condemned soon at the rate the pitting is going on. Will have one large boiler put in place to take the place of the two horizontal tubular boilers before the next internal inspection." The inspection was made by J. J. Malone of the insurance company on May 27th and June 3d. City Attorney Chynoweth was present and stated that the report of the boiler inspector might tend to nullify the insurance policy upon the three boilers at the power-house. The policy reads that no boiler should be used when once the inspector points out the discovery of any "defect affecting the safety of the boiler." The question arose whether or not Malone's report was such as to point out defects affecting the safety of the boiler. At any rate, the Clerk was instructed, on motion of Trustee Dickel, seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, to write the insurance company to the effect that in reports of their inspector hereafter defects in boilers should be pointed out in line with the provisions of the policy. Thus, if defects affect the safety of the boilers, that should be ex- of the Santa Ana Fourth of July celebration was read. The Fourth of July occurs at Santa Ana simultaneously with all other sections of the country, and although their people have never had a celebration in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, nor have many of them ever seen real fireworks in the night time except when they go to Los Angeles, nevertheless they announce that this year they will spread themselves, and have an old-time celebration: SANTA ANA, Cal., June 1st, 1900. Trustees of the City of Anaheim, Anaheim, Cal.—Gentlemen, Friends and Neighbors: As the Executive Committee of the Fourth of July celebration, to be held in this city on the coming Fourth, we hereby extend to your city a cordial invitation to be present and participate in and to assist in making this celebration a county affair. We would like, and do ask you to see it, that your city is represented in the parade, which will form at 10:30 a.m. We are doing all in our power to make this a county celebration; we already have assurance that Fullerton, Orange and Tustin will be represented in the parade, and we want Anaheim to be there without fall. We would suggest that you appoint a good stirring committee to see to it that Anaheim is represented. In afternoon we promise amusements galore, and for one attraction we will have the laying of the corner stone for the new county courthouse. In the evening we will have the finest fireworks ever seen in this county. Yours very respectfully, GEO. E. PETERS, W. C. YOUng, J. W. MURRAY, J. E. CULVER, RANSOM REID, Executive Committee. On motion of Trustee Dickel, seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, the invitation was accepted, and the Clerk instructed to so notify Mr. Peters, whose worst habit is his faculty for romping around third base. The Board of Trustees will go over in a gilded chariot, and Mr. Peters will see to it that they have a place in the parade near the band wagon. Hear that, George? All the members of the board were present, viz., Trustee Helmsen in the chair, and Trustees Dickel, Schneider, Schwenckert and Weisel. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for May: For water,$186.30; electric lights,$288.85; licenses,$166.50; total,$641.65; less 5 per cent commission ($32.08); deposited with Treasurer.$609.57. Deliquents re- Parker had to put in a pipe they would have to do so, too. Trustee Schwenckert was surprised to hear that streets or alleys were being used to run water across them. If they were being so used, the parties so using them had no right so to do. Trustee Dickel was of opinion that Parker should put up a cash deposit before being given permission to open up the street with a ditch. The last ditch was left in poor condition, and he was also against the practice of tearing up the streets by the construction of ditches. The matter finally went to the Public Improvements Committee with authority, Trustee Schwenckert remarking that a good-sized cash deposit be exacted before permission is given to plow up the street. The Marshal reported that Oak street had been graveled from Lemon to Los Angeles streets, and that two sprinklers should be put on the streets as soon as possible. The Clerk reported that he had renewed the insurance upon the power house, which had expired that day at noon. Amount,$5,000; premium,$130. Action approved. Bills to the amount of $1,148.67 were audited and ordered paid. A communication was received from Mrs. M. Cassou asking permission to move a house in the Boege addition to Block I in the Center tract. Granted, provided she stands good for all losses or damage sustained by the city or persons in the city. A bid was received from the Central Oil company, offering to furnish the city ten carloads of crude oil, not less than 16 gravity, at $1.15 per barrel, f.o. b. Los Nietos. The same was accepted. The contract for the city printing for the coming year was awarded THE GAZETTE. A Rooster's Spurs. Mrs. Clark, who lives at Magnolia, drove into town on Tuesday to get the horse shod. While in the barnyard feeding some goslings before starting, she was set upon by a large Plymouth Rock roofer, which flew at her, striking his spurs into the right hand deeply between the two outer fingers. Mrs. Clark thought nothing of the wound at the time, although it bled profusely. But she procured a knife and cut off the bird's spurs. On the way into town her hand began to swell, and pained exercuiat- reads that no boiler should be used when once the inspector points out the discovery of any "defect affecting the safety of the boiler." The question arose whether or not Malone's report was such as to point out defects affecting the safety of the boiler. At any rate, the Clerk was instructed, on motion of Trustee Dickel, seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, to write the insurance company to the effect that in reports of their inspector hereafter defects in boilers should be pointed out in line with the provisions of the policy. Thus, if defects affect the safety of the boilers, that should be expressly so stated. The matter of the pits and scale in the boiler was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements, with instructions that the recommendations of the inspector be given attention immediately. The new insurance policy upon the boilers, in the amount of $15,000, was pronounced regular by Mr. Chynoweth, and was accordingly accepted and ordered to the file. The following communication protesting against delay in the skedaddling of scarlet women out of town was read: ANAHEIM, Cal., June 11, 1900. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim:—We, the undersigned, respectfully ask the Honorable Board of City Trustees to cause the tenants occupying the house belonging to, or being in charge of Chas. Stone as agent, and situated on Citron street, between Broadway and Center street, to vacate the same. About three weeks ago the City Marshal received instructions from the Board of Trustees to notify the parties to move. At the next meeting he rendered a report, saying that the parties in question had agreed to do so by the 1st of June, as they had paid their rent up to that date. Supposing they had paid their rent one year in advance, would the Board of Trustees permit them to transgress the law for a whole year? This would be just as reasonable to ask, for it is just as bad to violate the law for three weeks as it is to do it for a year. The 1st of June has passed, and the status quo ante still exists. We, the undersigned, have both a family, and consider it our sacred duty to protect our families and see to it that they are not subjected to any insults by having people call at the door asking where the "public house" is. We sincerely hope that the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim will do everything in its power to close the houses of ill-fame in Anaheim. Very respectfully, OTTO STORM, JOHN L. SCHUMACHER. Previous to the reading of the communication Trustee Schwenckert had, under the order of reports from special committees, reported that Supervisor Potter had called upon him the day after the last meeting of the board, in reference to the suppression of the house of ill-repute situated on Crowley avenue, on the outskirts of town, and had stated to him that he (Potter) did not approve of such places, and would do all in his power and use all his influence to abate the evil. He (Schwenckert) supposed Potter was now at work looking to the suppression of the evil. Marshal Steadman, reporting upon the same matter, said he had carried out the instructions of the board with worst habit is his faculty for romping around third base. The Board of Trustees will go over in a gilded chariot, and Mr. Peters will see to it that have a place in the parade near the band wagon. Hear that, George? All members of the board were present, viz., Trustee Helmsen in the chair, and Trustees Dickel, Schneider, Schwenckert and Weisel. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for May: For water, $186.30; electric lights, $288.85; licenses, $166.50; total, $641.65; less 5 per cent commission ($32.08); deposited with Treasurer, $609.57. Delinquents reported: Water, $23.95; lights, $4.35; licenses, $2.50; total, $30.80. Delinquents collected: Water, $19.50; lights, $25.70; total, $45.20. Later in the evening the Marshal was given a vacation of six weeks, which time he will put in on a camping trip to the Tehachapi mountains in company of Napoleon Hart and Johnny Kuebler. During his absence the office will be held down by Viet Bentz and Arthur Lewis. This is first vacation the Marshal has had in eight years. Treasurer Cahen reported the following balances on hand. In General fund, $891.94; Bond fund No. 1,$1,124.08; No. 2, $186.21; No. 3, $183.27; total, $2,385.50. Clerk Merritt's financial report tallied with the Treasurer's figures. Trustee Schneider, speaking relative to ordinances, suggested that the ordinance providing for cleaning streets in front of one's property should be amended so that ploughing up the thoroughfare could be put a stop to. The ordinance provides for the clearing of weeds from in front of all property, and many people plough up the streets in front of them to that end. This ruins the streets. He thought that if the weeds and grass were mowed better results would be obtained; but mowing was not permissible under the present ordinance. The practice of taking dirt from the streets, to be used for back-filling for newly-cemented ditches, was also reprehensible, and he thought a new ordinance should impose penalties for it. Trustee Schwenckert took the same view. He moved that the Ordinance Committee be instructed to draft a new ordinance, covering the points at issue. The city has more trouble with ploughed-up streets than almost anything else. The motion was seconded by Trustee Schneider and carried. Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance Committee was given further time in the matter of the franchise asked for by the Santa Ana Gas and Electric company for the permanent operation of their transmission line through town. He suggested that the members of the board make a memorandum of the various ordinances which require amending. Trustee Schwenckert moved that the Ordinance Committee draw up an ordinance licensing house movers, and requiring of them an indemnifying bond or cash deposit, to cover all damages in house moving. Seconded by Trustee Dickel, and carried. A Rooster's Spurs. Mrs. Clark, who lives at Magnolia, drove into town on Tuesday to get the horse shod. While in the barnyard feeding some goslings before starting, she was set upon by a large Plymouth Rock rooster, which flew at her, striking his spurs into the right hand deeply between two outer fingers. Mrs. Clark thought nothing of the wound at the time, although it bled profusely. But she procured a knife and cut off the bird's spurs. On the way into town her hand began to swell, and pained exercisingly. Arriving in town, she was almost overcome from the effects of the wound. She went to the house of a friend, where the hand was submerged in hot water and liniments applied. After an hour's treatment she was able to resume her trip home. There will probably be chicken for dinner at the Clark household, when the husband, who is employed in the Peat celeries fields, returns home on Sunday. Oregon Mist. Yesterday morning when Anaheimers awoke and looked out the windows it looked like a rain had fallen during the night. An Oregon mist had prevailed since the evening before. The streets were wet down, and moisture dripped from the trees. The cloudiness continued during the morning hours, and well along into the afternoon. For some days past foggy weather has prevailed. An old settler declared this weather is a great scheme. It does the trees more good than an irrigating, he says. It also keeps the water well up in the river. One reason why peaches are a failure is, in his opinion, lack of moisture from above, vitalizing leaf bud and tree top. Irrigation is a necessity, according to this expert, but moisture in the tree top is also most beneficial, if not a condition precedent to growing a crop. “This weather beats irrigation all hollow. It's just kind of weather we need in a dry year.” Reports from up-river points are tothe effect that the cool, damp and misty weather is exercising a most beneficial effect upon the volume of water. We are pretty well over our dry season scare, and the county was never so prosperous. There is a plenty of water for irrigation, and the tree grower is correspondingly happy. Will Try It Again. A marriage license was issued by Cupid Beckett some days ago to Clyde Mack and Mrs. Maude W. Mack, residents of Orange. The Macks were married June 26, 1895, but on November 12, 1897 Mrs. Mack was granted a divorce on the grounds of desertion and failure to provide. She was given custody of a 20-months-old babe. Mrs. Mack and the girl baby were in the County Clerk's office with her former husband,and waited whilethe license was being issued. Off for Tehachapi. Frank Steadman,Nap Hart and Johnny Kuebler contemplate leaving this morning for Tehachapi on a six-weeks' hunting and camping expedition. They will live on bear and frijoles will have an eye out for mineral prospects,but go principally forthe outing.The country up aboutthe Tehachapi divide is said to offer many under the order of reports from special committees, reported that Supervisor Potter had called upon him the day after the last meeting of the board, in reference to the suppression of the house of ill-repute situated on Crowley avenue, on the outskirts of town, and had stated to him that he (Potter) did not approve of such places, and would do all in his power and use all his influence to abate the evil. He (Schwenckert) supposed Potter was now at work looking to the suppression of the evil. Marshal Steadman, reporting upon the same matter, said he had carried out the instructions of the board with reference to ordering the females out of the house situated within the city limits. The girls stated they would go the 1st of June. They still tarried. He had gone to see the ladies again, and had informed them that if they did not promptly leave town a warrant for their arrest would be issued. One of the inmates of the house had informed him that the girls would have gone on the 1st, but for the fact that one of them had been taken quite seriously ill and could not leave. She promised, however, to go far away, and said they would positively leave before Saturday. This week is, therefore, their farewell appearance. After the reading of the communication Trustee Schwenckert said the report of the Marshal furnished the best answer to it, but he nevertheless reported that the inmates be notified to leave town within— Trustee Schneider (interrupting)—Ten days? Trustee Schwenckert (scornfully)—Ten days! Thirty-six hours! The Marshal cannot do more than he has already done. If the girls did not get out inside of thirty-six hours, he said, let them be arrested. He supposed Messrs. Storm and Schumacher could furnish abundant evidence as to the character of the place referred to. Trustee Dickel moved to amend by giving the girls five days to get out. He later changed it to read until the end of the week—four days. The amendment was seconded by Trustee Schwenckert, and carried. The communication was ordered to the file. The following communication from Oom Paul George Peters and other anarchists of the Executive Committee was given further time in the matter of the franchise asked for by the Santa Ana Gas and Electric company for the permanent operation of their transmission line through town. He suggested that the members of the board make a memorandum of the various ordinances which require amending. Trustee Schwenckert moved that the Ordinance Committee draw up an ordinance licensing house movers, and requiring of them an indemnifying bond or cash deposit, to cover all damages in house moving. Seconded by Trustee Dickel, and carried. Trustee Schwenckert moved that an ordinance be drawn accepting by the City Trustees all streets and alleys and other public property in town. Seconded by Trustee Schneider, and carried. Trustee Dickel called up the broken pipe on Broadway, near the German church, which is owned by Wm. Konig and John Woelke, and moved that the Street Superintendent be instructed to notify its owners to repair the break, recently occasioned by the moving of a house over it. Failing to so repair it, the Street Superintendent was instructed to fill it up, the place being dangerous to navigation. The bond of F. Shanley, City Recorder, with F. Conrad and F. A. Backs as sureties, each in the sum of $500, was accepted and ordered filed. The Marshal reported that water connections had been made with Mr. Hilmer's residence property on Center street and with Mrs. Langenberger's on Palm. Mr. Parker, who rents the Del Campo tract, asked for permission to carry irrigating water in an open ditch across Atchison street. Trustee Schwenckert said that if Mr. Parker needed irrigating water bad enough, he should be required to put in a pipe. He had some time ago opened up this street to run water on his place, and had left it in particularly bad condition. The street had just been graded, moreover, and he was opposed to this opening of streets promiscuously on general principles. Trustee Weisel said that if Parker was compelled to put in a pipe, all other parties taking water across streets must be similarly dealt with. He knew of several people who were taking water across obscure alleys, and if... HERE'S THE WAY TO FIND OIL. Points by A. S. Cooper, State Mineralogist, Relative to Signs Which Oil Prospectors Should Understand. Now that Orange county people have the oil fever, and petroleum indications are being found all over the country, the following points on prospecting for petroleum from The Genesis of Petroleum and Asphaltum in California by A. S. Cooper, State mineralogist, will be read with interest: Surface indications of the presence of petroleum consist of unaltered rocks, white-leached shales and sandstones, shales burnt to redness, fumaroles, mineral springs and the residue from mineral springs, such as selenite, etc., subsidences, natural gas, springs of petroleum oil and malta, porous rocks saturated with bitumen, cracks in shale or other rock filled or partly filled with bitumen, black silicified shales. It would seem like supererogation to say that petroleum oil is not found in any notable quantity in metamorphic rocks, yet notwithstanding this fact, which one would think would be patent to every person, wells for oil have been drilled in granite. The prospector should confine his attention to unaltered rocks. The color of the bitumens, when they exist near the surface of the earth, is black, bluish black, and brown and dirty brown. The bitumen can be determined from coal, vegetable deposits, iron, manganese, and other minerals that closely resemble them, by the following tests: By its bituminous odor and taste; by melting in the flame of a match or candle with a bituminous odor (iron and manganese do not fuse, and coal and vegetable matter burn without fusion); by dissolving in bisulphide of carbon, chloroform, and turpentine. It would be well in prospecting for oil, to carry a small bottle of one of these solvents and another small bottle in which the substance to be determined is placed in a comminuted form and agitated. If a brown or black solution is formed, the substance under examination is bitumen. Iron, manganese, coal and vegetable matter do not dissolve in these solvents. All streams, pools and other bodies of water should be carefully inspected. If oil is present it will float on the surface, showing prismatic colors. Compounds of iron floating on the surface of water frequently show these iridescent colors. Agents for M. Born We have the Therefore we have won’t stay long as they are so GENE such as Fleur shades.

If a brown or black solution is formed, the substance under examination is bitumen. Iron, manganese, coal and vegetable matter do not dissolve in these solvents. All streams, pools and other bodies of water should be carefully inspected. If oil is present it will float on the surface, showing prismatic colors. Compounds of iron floating on the surface of water frequently show these iridescent colors. Whether this scum is oil or an iron compound can be determined by stirring the surface of the water with a circular motion. If iron, the scum will break into irregular fragments, and if oil it will form bands of color. In other words, the iron compound seems to act and break like a liquid. Frequently gases are seen to ascend from the bottom of streams and pools of water. In the bed of La Brea creek, upon the Sisquoc ranhee, Santa Barbara county, gases rise from the bottom of the creek for a distance exceeding one mile, which can be lit upon the surface of the water and burn with a luminous flame. This occurs in many other places in California. Carburetted hydrogen, or natural gas, is a far greater indication of the presence of the bitumen than is sulphurated hydrogen or carbonic acid gas; consequently is frequently important to determine between the gases. Carburetted hydrogen burns with a yellow, luminous flame, whereas sulphuretted hydrogen burns with a bluish flame. A familiar example of the color of these flames is shown in the burning of an ordinary match. Light the match, and while the sulphured end is burning a bluish flame is shown; when the sulphur is consumed and the wood burns alone, a luminous flame is shown. Sulphureted hydrogen has a strong odor of sulfur, and when a brightened piece of silver is held in it, the silver becomes blackened. Carbonic acid gas does not burn. If carburetted hydrogen is found it is nearly a certain sign that somewhere in the formation liquid bitumen exist, although they may be distant from the place where the gas issues. All outcrops of the stratified rocks should be examined. There are generally better exposures of these rocks on the sides of streams, canyons and gulches than elsewhere. The surface of the ground should also be examined. If any brown or black material is seen in the seams of the rock or saturated porous strata the test for bitumen with solvents as described herein should be made. If natural gas or bitumen is found upon the surface of shale, there is a strong probability that the bitumen has ascended vertically through these rocks from porous strata below, as the avenues for the migration of the bitumen are usually seams and cracks in the shale, the shale itself being impervious to the flow of the bitumen, especially the liquid ones. But when porous sand is reached, or when the outer porous sand, it can be presumed that the bitumen reached the surface through the sand. Especially is this liable to be true if the sandstones stand at a high angle with the horizon.

If natural gas or bitumen is found upon the surface of shale, there is a strong probability that the bitumen has ascended vertically through these rocks from porous strata below, as the avenues for the migration of the bitumen are usually seams and cracks in the shale, the shale itself being impervious to the flow of the bitumen, especially the liquid ones. But when porous sand is reached, or when the outcrop is porous sand, it can be presumed that the bitumen reached the surface through the sand. Especially is this liable to be true if the sandstones stand at a high angle with the horizon. Subsidences are indicative of the presence of petroleum, but if any oil is found in them it will be vicious and heavy, the fractured condition of the earth in the subsidence permitting the escape of the volatile parts of the oil. This is also true of burned shales, and if any petroleum exists in these shales it would be a secondary deposit, having entered the shales after they were burned. Petroleum vapor in all probability assisted in the burning of these shales. As mineral waters always accompany the bituminous, mineral springs and the evidences of former mineral springs are to a limited extent evidence of the accumulations of the bitimens. Selenite, travertine, infusional earth and a number of other mineral deposits are evidences of former mineral springs. When bitumen exist in a formation they are more often than otherwise overlaid with white leached shales and sandstones; therefore, these rocks are an indication of the bitumen to a certain extent, and owing to their conspicuous color can be seen from a long distance. Therefore, outcrops and anticlines can be followed from outside property into the property being examined, and the structure be considered sufficiently well demonstrated so as to justify a person in drilling a well for oil, even if bitumen were absent from the surface of the land upon which the well is to be drilled and the exposures of the strata are but slight. The strike of the anticlines and outcrops can be determined by a pocket compass. If indications of the presence of bitumen are sufficient to justify it, a topographical map of the presumed oil territory should be made before making a cross-section of the rock structure. If a person is incapable of making a topographical map of the territory he certainly has not the capacity of making sectional views of the same showing the structure, the latter operation being much more difficult and largely dependent upon the former. All indications should be closely ex- The high school will continue in session two weeks longer. This is to make up for the time lost last year, on account of the lateness in the completion of the schoolhouse after the fire which destroyed part of the building. It is announced that next year the school will have quite a creditable graduating class. Miss French and Miss Richards, who have taught in the high school during the past term, will in all probability be retained, their work having been most satisfactory to the patrons of the school.

Mr.Athea was formerly a highly esteemed resident of this city. Mr.Lovering has heard from his Guy, who some weeks ago left for Davison Guy was at Skagway when he wrote, but has probably been in Davison for a week or more. He was trained at Seattle several days, owing to the crowded passenger berths on his steamer, and at Skagway had another wait of four days, on account of the river. After the breaking off the ice he journey was resumed, Guy is by this time at his journey's digging gold by the sackful. Nell Bailey came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to spend the day with his folks here. He had just returned from Salt Lake City, whither he went with an excursion party of Rock Island tourists. While in the Mormon camp he went out to great salt lake which is fifteen miles from the city, took a dip in the salt waters. He tended services in the Tabernacle, of the finest structures of its kind in country, and found a great concourse present, the occasion being the birthday of Brigham Young. Salt Lake City is a town of some 65,000 population, fine hotels and other modern attributes of civilization, and Neill reports pleasant trip there and back. Gov.Whitaker was in town for Buena Park on Saturday. He reported erection of several substantial dwellings at the Park, and a steep growth of business interests all along line. Speaking of oil, he Governor said that some eight years ago he founded one of a company boring for oil at Santa Paula. The drill was sent deep 1000 feet, and nothing was struck dry sand. That well cost the company $10,000 and the Governor $800. Some years ago a Los Angeles co-royant, who traded with Frank Wakeker, the Governor's nephew, informed him that his father owned a ranch Orange county on which there was two artesian wells, and that if he be deep enough he would strike oil. Clairvoyant was right as to the two teesian wells, but the Governor has been sufficiently enthusiastic since Santa Paula experiences to find whether she was right about the Agents for M. Born & Co., Chicago, the largest tailors in America. We have them, but not to keep.
