IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago May 9, 1889 The election on Friday last resulted, as was expected, in the overwhelming adoption of the Wright bill. Not a single ballot was cast against the bill in town, the result shows. The remarkable unanimity of our people upon the water question, 183 votes being cast in fa or of the new district, at Fullerton 66 affirmative votes were cast, while 2 votes were in the negative. Fairview polled 52 votes in favor of the new district and 5 against. Placentia gave 33 in favor and 8 against. J. P. Zeyn is elected Director for this precinct, J. Hunter for Fullerton, T. A. Darling for Fairview, J. P. Greeley for Placentia and Prudencio Yorba for Yorba. Max Nebelung is elected assessor, H. D. Polhemus, collector and F. H. Keith, treasurer. A county division meeting will be held this evening at Kroeger's hall. Victor Montgomery and Professor Manley of Santa Ana will be the speakers of the evening and will present their views of the division question. The Santa Ana brass band will be in attendance and enliven the occasion with music. There should be a large crowd and the question discussed in all its details. While Harry Dyer was attempting to ride a horse into Lewis' library, stable lost Sunday after 25 Years Ago April 30, 1914 Events have crowded each other's heels with startling rapidity since the occurrence of the open rupture between United States forces and Mexican authorities on April 9. Blood of many men on both sides has been shed by conflict or assassination, still according to the government at Washington a state of war does not exist. American warships have bombarded Mexican forts and cities, American troops have been landed on Mexican territory, and rapid preparations are making for further conflicts. Strained relations have existed for many months owing to the outrages perpetrated upon Americans by Mexican soldiers. Exceptional quiet has prevailed in Anaheim since the beginning of hostilities. Many people expected heated arguments, but both the Americans and Mexicans have conducted themselves with decorum. A train of 18 cars loaded with five hundred soldiers on the way to the Mexican border passed through Anaheim Friday. They were a detached portion of the 3,000 regulars who left the Presidio at San Francisco Thursday night. The others were switched off at Fullerton and sent to Calexico. Officers in Anaheim ridicule the idea of a possible disturbance here. There are 800 Mexicans in Anaheim, but many of them are natives. Few if any of them sym- By WARREN BAYLEY SUPERSTITION MOUNT AND THE LOST DUTCH MINE—No tour through Arden would be complete without least checking into the story of the states greatest mystery: the tale of a lost gold-mine, loosely rich, which refuses to rediscover. Naturally the stories surround such a mystery are many with each telling something been added, with each repeating something changed. However recent scientific study of the maintain and a complete check on various maps and stories reveal two indisputable facts. There such a mine and it was fabulously rich. Here is a part of its history: a tale of massacre, thievery, quake and murder. In 1845 one Miguel Pe journeyed into this great plowed area in search of After numerous small finds, he came convinced that somewhere these mountains there was wilt in untold quantities. Return to his home in Chihuahua Mexico, he organized a party six and placed it under the mand of his three sons, Ramon and Manuel. In 1846 party re-entered the territory discovered a rich placer mine at the present site of Mormon While the two younger brothers mined this rich bonanza, went further into the hill While Harry Dyer was attempting to ride a horse into Lewis' livery stable last Sunday afternoon to avoid the heavy showers, the animal fell and the young man received a severe bruise on his ankle, which will confine him to his room for some days. The people of Elsinore, San Diego county have written for information in regard to the formation of irrigation districts under the Wright bill. Copies of this journal containing the bill have been sent. It is probable an irrigation district will be formed. The convention of the Sabbath Schools of the Santa Ana valley, which was held at El Modena April 26 and 27, surpassed, in large attendance, the degree of interest manifested and the work accomplished, the anticipations of all the delegates. The opening lecture was delivered Friday evening by E. E. Keech of Santa Ana. The convention was organized Saturday morning with Rev. D. O. Chamberlayne of Anaheim as chairman. The delegates in attendance from Anaheim were J. A. Vail, D. O. Chamberlayne; Mrs. Chamberlayne, J. B. Pierce, Mrs. Grimshaw, Miss Mary Kraemer, and Mrs. Boyd. Interesting papers on different lines of Sunday School work were read by a number of delegates, and the general discussion of the subjects brought forward showed a deep interest in the work. A permanent organization was effected under the name of the Santa Ana Valley Sunday School associates. Conventions are to be held semi-annually, the next one meeting in Anaheim some time next fall. Following are officers for the next half year: Rev. Harwood of Santa Ana, president; Geo. E. Mack of Westminster, first vice-president; Mrs. L. H. Mills of El Moden; second vice-president. Rev. Frank R. Holcomb of Fullerton; third vice-president, U. S. Lemon of Orange, secretary.

They were a detached portion of the 3,000 regulars who left the Presidio at San Francisco Thursday night. The others were switched off at Fullerton and sent to Calexico. Officers in Anaheim ridicule the idea of a possible disturbance here. There are 800 Mexicans in Anaheim, but many of them are natives. Few if any of them sympathize with the Huerta government. Argentine, Brazil and Chile are now endeavoring to establish peace between the two nations and the outcome is awaited with hope.

Wallop arose from his couch yesterday morning he made the discovery that an unwelcome guest had visited his home during the night. The house had been ransacked by burglars and a long list of articles of value carried away. The loot included silverware, two ladies' watches, clothing, Will's best suit being among the articles. Entrance was secured by cutting open a screen door in the rear. The job evidently occurred while the family were attending the lecture at the high school, although they did not discover it until morning. The L. A.

By WARREN BAYLEY SUPERSTITION MOUNTAIN AND THE LOST DUTCHMAN EVE—No tour through Arizona did be complete without at the checking into the story of one of the states greatest mysteries; tale of a lost gold-mine, fabulously rich, which refuses to be discovered. Naturally the stories surround such a mystery are many and each telling something has been added, with each repetition something changed. However, a recent scientific study of the mountain and a complete check on the various maps and stories revealed indisputable facts. There was a mine and it was fabulously rich. Here is a part of its history: tale of massacre, thievery, earth-rock and murder. In 1845 one Miguel Peralta entered into this great unexcited area in search of gold, for numerous small finds, he be convinced that somewhere in the mountains there was wealth untold quantities. Returning his home in Chihuahua City, Mexico, he organized a party and placed it under the command of his three sons, Pedro, Mon and Manuel. In 1846 this boy re-entered the territory and covered a rich placer mine at present site of Mormon Flat. While the two younger brothers used this rich bonanza, Pedro got further into the hills in Hunting was taboo. Traveling was banned. In an endeavor to keep out future intruders the shafts were filled and all traces of the white men removed. That is, all but one shaft which was believed to be inaccessible. In 1860 this one was rediscovered by two men named Jacobs and Ludi. While working the mine they were murdered by Jacob Walz "the Dutchman" and his partner Jacob Weiser. As soon as Walz realized the wealth of the mine, he in turn murdered Weiser. For many years Walz worked his ill gotten mine. Numerous attempts were made to follow him and locate the source of his wealth. In every case he outwitted or killed his pursuers. In 1877 he retired in Phoenix where he passed away in 1891, aged 83 years. He had not visited his mine in 10 years. On May 3, 1887 an earthquake shook the mountains: Cliffs toppled and hillsides were shaken down. Somewhere under the debris there lies "The Lost Dutchman," Arizona's most famous mine. This travelogue is provided weekly for The Gazette through the cooperation and sponsorship of Dr. G. A. Neth, chiropractor with offices at 110 North Resh street, Anaheim. Martini to Sing WITH AN ESTIMATED total of 12,000,000 anglers in the country, "Fish-O", a new accuracy game just introduced for fly-fishermen and bait-casters is expected soon to rival "skeet" in popularity. Sponsored by the American Wildlife Institute and the Izaak Walton League of America, it may be played both indoors and out.

Returning to his home in Chihuahua City, Mexico, he organized a party and placed it under the command of his three sons, Pedro, Mon and Manuel. In 1846 this boy re-entered the territory and covered a rich placer mine at present site of Mormon Flat. While the two younger brothers used this rich bonanza, Pedro got further into the hills in each of the source of the placer. He discovered not one but eight veins. In the winter of 1846-47 the brothers returned to Mexico where the two youngest bought cheeses and retired to a life of Pedro. However, organized party of 60 men and returned more gold. For months the boy worked the veins, until a report reported that the Apache Indians were concentrating their efforts for an attack. Quickly lying the major part of their health, the party tried to escape. Attempt was unsuccessful and they member of the party was sacred. The Indians, notwing the value of gold empire, remaining gold on the land and kept the canvas bags. 1914 two prospectors recovered 2000 of this gold while digging the site of the massacre. To the Indians, Superstition contain was sacred ground. Martini to Sing Friday, April 28 Nino Martini, young leading tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, who appears in Santa Ana on April 28, made his operatic debut in Italy at the age of 21, as the Duke in "Rigoletto". The young singer made such an outstanding success at his initial appearance that he was immediately signed for "I Puritani"—an opera that had not been sung for over 50 years in its original key because one of the tenor arias called for F above high C. His sensational success in "Puritani" resulted in 16 successive performances in Milan... Appearances all over Europe soon followed and subsequently Martini appeared in this country in motion pictures and upon the operatic stage. Many Philippine natives still build their homes in trees.
