NEW PUMP TO BE PUT IN AT POWER HOUSE CITY TRUSTEES READY TO INSTALL ADDITION TO MUNICIPAL EQUIPMENT MONTHLY REPORTS RECEIVED FROM COLLECTOR, RECORDER AND CLERK The city council meeting Thursday night found all trustees in their seats except Trustee Cook. Also were present City Attorney Ames, Electrician Lewis, Engineer Steward, and Marshal Kellenberger. Ordinance number 259, entitled an ordinance amending section 3 of ordinance number 244, and changing the drug store alcohol license fee from $5 to $2 per month, was brought up for final reading and passed. A petition from W. J. Elliott, accompanied by a bond of $50, as required by ordinance, and asking permission to move a frame building from outside the city limits to a point on South Rose street was read and granted. A communication from M. J. Bradley asking that the city trustees request the Anaheim Union Water Company to lay a 14-inch cement irrigating pipe on Broad street from Palm street to the intersection of Broad and South Citron street, was read. After some discussion, the matter was referred to the city clerk, with instructions to draw up a communication to the water company.

Bradley asking that the city trustees request the Anaheim Union Water Company to lay a 14-inch cement irrigating pipe on Broad street from Palm street to the intersection of Broad and South Citron street, was read. After some discussion, the matter was referred to the city clerk, with instructions to draw up a communication to the water company asking that the work be done. If the work be taken up, the city will pay one-fourth of the expense, the property owners one-fourth and the water company one-half. The cement pipe is to replace the present open dirt ditch along West Broad street. The Pacific Coast Manufacturing Company requested the city to make final payment for the engine recently installed at the power house, as it had been accepted by the city, and the work entirely completed. As the engine works entirely satisfactorily and had been put in according to specifications and the work has been completed the city clerk was instructed to draw up a warrant in amount of $2,525.00 in favor of the company and make final payment for the engine. Superintendent of Streets Kellenberger reported that the moving of the house recently petitioned for by Mr. Eckert, had been accomplished without damage to the city, and the clerk was instructed to return the certified check for $50 deposited with the city as security that no damage would be done to the city by the moving. A petition from residents on North and South Ohio street was read, asking that they be given permission to lay sidewalks on the west side of the thoroughfare. After some discussion the city engineer was instructed to give the grade for both a curb and sidewalk to the residents on the west side of the street, and this will later be done for the east side also. The high school owns a large frontage on the east side of the street, and as the district’s funds are running low, the high school trustees do not feel as if they want to do the work at present. The next matter taken up for discussion was in regard to a pump, which it is proposed to buy in the near future for the city power house. Different makes were discussed, and after some little discussion, it was decided not to make a selection until different pumps are seen working. A visit will probably be made to nearby cities in the near future and pumps in use at these points examined. Upon motion the meeting adjourned. MEXICANS STEAL HAY LODGED IN JAIL Horse Shod With Mule Shoes Gives Officers Clue to Making Arrest Under Sheriff Law landed on two Delhi Mexicans one day last week with the result that one of them, Francisco Garcia, is charged with burglary and the other, Miguel Talamantes, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $100. Both men were caught with stolen hay in their possession. Talamantes was charged only with misdemeanor, but Garcia must face a charge of burglary for the reason that in the theft of which he is accused locks were broken to gain entrance to the place from which the hay was stolen. About a week ago the officers began investigating to discover if possible who had stolen some 20 or 30 bales of hay and eight sacks of barley from John King of Pollerino, some 15 or 20 bales of hay from W. H. Jones of Pollerino and a ton of hay from Joe Guiterrez of Delhi. The tracks from King’s place showed that a team was used and tracks showed mule shoes. Under Sheriff Law made a search at Delhi, and found four bales of hay stolen from Jones in Talamantes’ barn. Talamantes was arrested, pleaded guilty and was fined $100 by Justice Cox. Not having the money, Talamantes went to jail. Law discovered about 19 bales of hay in Francisco Garcia’s barn. Garcia had been operating in a clever manner. For the tags originally in the bales he had substituted some tags cut out by hand from shingles. On one bale, however, Garcia overlooked the tag. Law found it and King and his foreman, Watts, positively identified it as one of their tags. Then came the search for the mules. Tracks were found running across a field from Garcia’s barn, and the wagon was found at a neighbor’s place. Garcia has but one horse, and no mules, but the horse was shod with mules’ shoes. Garcia had borrowed a horse from Deonicio Flores. Flores says he...

Building permits were petitioned for and granted as follows: John Domreis, to construct a residence on Helena street, estimated cost $900. H. G. Melcher, contractor, for Nick Schroeder, to construct a residence on North Ohio street, estimated cost $1000. M. E. Bever, contractor, for Mrs. J.

STATE'S MINERAL RESOURCES IN 1911 TOTAL OUTPUT OF COUNTIES AMOUNTED TO $87,497,879—PETROLEUM LEADS ORANGE COUNTY WELLS MAKE FINE SHOWING IN DEVELOPMENT OF OIL RESOURCES Fifty-five out of the 58 counties in California reported a production of one or more of 40 minerals during the year 1911, amounting to a total value of $87,497,879. This value, and all others mentioned in a bulletin just issued by the State Mining Bureau, are for crude material at the property. The above total as compared with the 1910 output of $88,419,079 shows an apparent decrease in 1911 of $921,200. The two amounts are not strictly comparable, however, because of the fact that the 1910 total contains the value of refined asphalt produced during that year. In the 1911 figures this material, the value of which equals $2,250,000, has been excluded, as no natural asphalt is produced in the State and therefore could not be included without duplication of a portion of the petroleum output. This also applies to other refined mineral products, which includes kerosene, gasoline and other products of the fractional distillation of crude petroleum. Petroleum is treated in the report as a whole, and to add to the output the value of these refined BUSINESS CARDS J. W.

In the 1911 figures this material, the value of which equals $2,250,000, has been excluded, as no natural asphalt is produced in the State and therefore could not be included without duplication of a portion of the petroleum output. This also applies to other refined mineral products, which includes kerosene, gasoline and other products of the fractional distillation of crude petroleum. Petroleum is treated in the report as a whole, and to add to the output the value of these refined products would be a duplication of figures, which no matter how gratifying in swelling the grand total, would be not only misleading, but improper. As has been the case in recent years, petroleum production leads all others by a wide margin, the total output for the year amounting to 84,648,157 barrels, valued at $40,552,088. Gold comes second with a value at $19,738,908. Cement ranks third, the total output amounting to 6,371,369 barrels, worth $9,085,625. Although greatly curtalled owing to smelter-fume troubles, copper holds fourth place on the list with a production valued at $4,604,753. Other minerals, each with a value over a million dollars, are as follows: Crushed rock, including sand and gravel, $3,610,357; brick, $2,638,121; borax, $1,456,672. It will be observed that the increase in the value of the output of cement was nearly $3,300,000 over that of the previous year. It may be expected that 1912 will see this amount swelled to a figure well over $10,000,000. The following table shows the yield of mineral substances of California for 1911 as compiled from the returns received at the State Mining Bureau, San Francisco, in answer to inquiries sent to producers: | Substance | Amount | Value | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Asbestos, tons | 125 | $500 | | Barytes, tons | 309 | 2,207 | | Bituminous rock | 75,125 | 117,279 | | Borax, tons | 50,945 | 1,456,672 | | Cement, bbls | 6,371,369 | 9,085,625 | | Chrome, tons | 935 | 14,197 | | Clay, brick, M. | 327,474 | 2,638,121 | | Clay, pottery, tons | 224,576 | 252,759 | | Coal, tons | 11,047 | 18,297 | | Copper, Ibs. | 36,838,024 | 4,604,753 | | Crushed rock, tons. | 6,487,223 | 3,610,357 | | Feldspar, tons. | 740 | 4,560 | | Fuller’s earth, tons. | 466 | 5,294 | | Gems | 51,824 | | Gold | 19,738,908 | | Granite, cu. ft. | 401,209 | 355,742 | | Gypsum, tons | 31,457 | 101,475 | | Infusional earth, tons | 2,194 | 19,670 | | Iron ore, tons | 558 | | Lead, Ibs. | 1,403,839 | 63,173 | | Lime, bbls. | 429,587 | 390,988 | | Limestone, tons | 516,398 | 452,790 | | Magnesite, tons | 8,858 | 67,430 | | Manganese, tons | 2 | | Marble, cu. ft. | 20,201 | 54,103 | | Mineral paint, tons | 186 | | Mineral water, gals. | 2,637,669 | | Natural gas | 590,654 | | Paving blocks.

This enormous amount of gold would weigh about 2,580 tons and would require a train of 52 freight cars each holding 50 tons of the metal. What the ultimate production of gold in California will be only the future can tell but at the present the total is being swelled at the rate of about $20,000,000 annually and this amount is likely to become more rather than less for some years to come. It will be observed that the largest production for any one year was in 1852 when it reached $81，294，700. This was at the time of the most active development of the superficial placers when thousands of men were at work with pan，rocker，long-tom and sluice,and even the hydraulic method had been introduced in a small way. For the early years of petroleum in California the statistical records are rather incomplete especially as to price.In Bulletin No. 60，California State Mining Bureau,the total value of petroleum produced from 1887 to 1909，inclusive，是 given as $136，693，228.Adding to this amount the value of the 1910 and 1911 output gives a grand total of $214，934，858 for the value of the petroleum produced in the State during the past 25 years. The following table is of much interest to all who are engaged in the production of petroleum. It was about 20 years before the output of the entire State reached the dignity of a million barrels annually.Within the past 10 years the annual production has increased with little fluctuation from about 14，000，000 barrels to over $84，000，000 barrels annually. Amount of annual production by barrels is given in the following table.(The number of barrels credited to the year 1875 represents all production up to and including that date): Year Barrels Year Barrels 1875 175，000 1895 1，245，339 1876 12，000 1896 1，257，780 1877 13，000 1897 1，911，569 1878 15，227 1898 2，249，688 1879 19，858 1899 2，677，875 1880 40，552 1900 4，329，950 1881 39，862 1901 7，710，315 1882 128，636 1902 14，356，910 1883 142，857 1903 24，340，839 1884 262，000 1904 29，736，003 1885 325，000 1905 34，275，761 1886 377，145 1906 32，624，000 1887 678，572 1907 40，311，171 1888 696，333 1908 48，306，910 1889 303，220 1909 58，191，723 1890 307，360 1910 77，697，568 1991 323，600 1911 84，648，157 Of all KINDS Best Sauerkraut and Dill Pickles now on hand.

Howard has petitioned for letters of administration on the estate of Paul Reckman, who died on December 3 in Phoenix, Ariz. The estate consists of $1,500 in a bank and a claim of $50 against a lodge. The Anaheim Odd Fellows lodge is a creditor of the estate, and as such applies for letters. So far as can be determined by the petitioner, Reckman left no heirs. F. C. Spencer is attorney for Howard. "So he took you out auto-riding the other evening?" "Yes, what of it?" "Do you think he is in love with you?" "I think so. I know that every time I spoke to him the auto tried to climb a tree or jump a fence." If I took a gate, I wonder if Mr. Jones would take a fence.
