California is the sixteenth State in the Union in the production of bituminous coal, yet the known deposits aro small.

Most of the present output is from the vicinity of Mount Diablo, on account of its nearness to market. Our valuable coal mines in Loa Angeles and San Diego counties, already cut a considerable hgiue in the production of the State, and will- be much more important when increased capital is interested, which will be in the near future.

From a private letter, received in this city dated Fort Mohave, June 10th, we loam that, owing to the rise in the Colorado river, 80 feet of the railroad bridge being built by the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, near the Needles, have been swept away. From the same source we learn that the new town at the junction of the two roads has been named Hood, in honor of the civil engineer of that name, formerly connected with the Southern Pacific Railroad.

liernnrdino Index. The rush of people to Willmore City continues to increase. Tbe hotel is filled with guests, and visitors are camping in large numbers, sleeping in their tents and taking at the hotel. Mrs. Fuller, who ha I a restaurant tent at Santa Monica last year, will open a similar tent at Willmore, so that board will be plenty for all.

The two extra cars for the street railway will be ready in a few days to assist in carrying passengers between the Junction and the beach. This watering-place, with its fine beach, appears to lie going ahead steadily, aud takes no step backward. As there seems to be an impression abroad that the steamer Amelia, chartered for the excursion to Santa Catalina Island, next Sunday, is one of the tugs used in the harbor, we will state that the Amelia ia one of the finest steamers on the coast, with a carrying capacity of 600 persons, and used run between San Francisco and Sacramento. has just been thoroughly overhauled, and fitted up splendidly. Poisons desiring to join the excursion need have no feur of being crowded, as the sale of tickets hss been limited to 300, nearly all of which have already been sold.

How Their Number and Value has Increased In Two Months Facts and Figures. The Hkkalu of April 3d, about ten weeks since, contained a retrospect of. tho improvements, not including lings, which had bean made In Los Angeles during ihe past eight years, the amount aggregating about $3,000,000. Of this aum, $1,161,000 was devoted to business houses, whioh amount can, in the brief space of two and half months be raised by 8150,000, as follows i Main street, I. W.

Hellman, Curaon It Wilson, $5,000 Spring street, stores, Kysor Morgan, architects, Aliso street, C. Save, Los An gelea street, A. alia--contract San Fernando street, three stores, M. Dalgalarando, building, $20,000 addition to St. Vincent's College, two stores on Sixth street, on the hill, Philippi's pavillion, Upper Main street, warehouse, Commercial street, C.

Dncommun and others, First street, P. Lalande, J. Bernard, Covarrabiat Porrter, Mai, Court street, Maxwell ft Moore, $20,000. Besides this, there are two bridges to' be built across the Los Angelea river, contracts being already let, at a cost of about $14,000. The new atreet railroad to be constructed by Mr.

I. VV. Hellman, will cost about $20,000 for the plant. Two new schoolhousea are also to be erected by tbe city. The price is not yet decided, but they will probably cost about $12,000.

Mr. V. Ponet and Mrs. C. Bumiller contemplate the immediata erection of a building to cost not less than $50,000 on their valuable property on Spring street.

These improvements, accomplished and projected in good faith, are a wonderful addition to the city's appearance, wealth and prosperity, in less than three mouths. The edifices contracted for and to be at once erected vdl amount to about 196,000, including the two bridges, or a total of 3247,000 in the past ten weeks. As announced, on Svnday, July Ist, the number of residences erected during the year ending at that time will be published in the Herald, which, with their value added to that pf the more valuable buildings mentioned, will be likely to astonish in amount auy but well informed and enthusiastic Viticultural Meeting. The people of California ill please to bear in mind that the Commissioners of the State of California will hold a very important meeting in Loa Angeles on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, June 21at, 22d and 23d, at Turnverein Hall. This will be the first meeting of these officers inSouthern California and should be attended by all the viticulturists of this section of the State.

On Thursday an address will be delivered by Mr. Arpad Horasztby on the fermentation of wine, and other kindred subjects. This will be the first time our citizens have had an opportunity of hearing this eminent viniculturist, who has made wine-making the study of a lifetime. A discussion will follow the address. On Friday Mr.

Chas. A. Wetmore will deliver a very interesting address on the varieties of grapes adapted to California, and their qualities and use, the best system of pruning, the subject of storing wine in proper wine vaults with recognized men of character whose warehouse for different kinds of wine shall be a goad and sufficient security for loans from capitalists, that will enable men of small means to hold their wioe till it becomes ripe aud valuable. The latter will be of great importance, and will probably result in some plan that will be adopted by our vintners. The San Francisco Merchant, a good authority on viniculture, says the stock of wine, that of the of '81 and previous years there is none in the hands of growers, except some few who are jobbers.

That narrows the stock down to the vintage of which is not fit for use at present, although some greenhorns call it ripe and ready for market. White wine is not fit for market under two years of age, and another year added makes it better yet. It time that this matter was understood tn considering the stock of wines on hand. i A morning contemporary attempts to break down the price of grapes and wine by reporting a large stock on baud in this State and in St. Louis.

We have shown before this that the statement was false and calculated to do harm. Bat supposing for the sake of the argument that it was true, such a stock is small among 55,000,000 people. If anybody is afraid that wine will deteriorate by age; the example of the stock of wine in the London Docks might serve to re-assure them that there waa no danger in keeping wine a few months at least. A correspondent of the Boston Herald, who has recently visited this great wine vault, says: The London wine vaults are not to be seen every day or by every person. The other day I waa fortunate enough to a "tasting order," and in company with one or two others, mado a tour of the St.

Katherine's and Loudou Dock vaults. I saw over 0,000,000 pack rMfaj of port and sherry, over 1,000,000 of claret, and 500,000 of spirit. They were in vast tuns, hogs needs, casks and barrels, and the total amount in storage waa 260.000,000 gallons. In fact, there were 0 2 gallons for every man, woman and child of the population of. Ureat Britain.

Some of it had been in store for years. The owners had forgotten about it, and the old and mouldy casks had rotted away at their chimes and had been several times replaced, One lot of 1,000 gallons of sherry had been iv the vaults for nearly fifty years. It was brought from the south of Spain by its owner, who had fallen dead in the vaults. The wine, along with his other property, had passed into chancery, and the litigation, which has continued for nearly naif a century, ia as far from being ended, apparently, aa when it begun. But the wine has been growing old and valuable, and if sold now would probably bring five guineas a gallon.

Ou Saturday Mr. R. B. Blowers will open the meeting with an address on raisins aud raisin-making that will be participated in by other speakers of ability and experience. It is expected that delegationa will be in attendance from Riverside, Orange, Pasadena and other raisin-making locslities to give the result of their successful experience.

It is expected that samples of raisins, wine and brandy, will be exhibited at the meeting and much valuable information gained. Our grape-growers should attend tbis meeting en masse. The City Court. City Justice Morgan bad an old tune levee yesterday morning, and although the city treasury was not much benefit, ted, the recruiU for Captain Cumminga' brigade were numerous and muscular, and, we have no doubt, will give a good account of themselves in work on the public Tbe first case was that of A. Corona, druuk Aid disorderly, Sentenced to twenty-five days' labor.

Thomas Kern and M. Valderaiua, for the same offence, got fifteen days each. Antonio Sanchez, for a milder form of tlie same offence, went up for five days. Mateo, Chapo, Tomas, Tiburcio and Miguel, all true native Americans, plain drunk, will work for ten days apiece on the public streets William Stewart, charged with selling liquor to the aforesaid aborigines, deposited $20 for his appearance for trial on the -'Ist inst at 10 a. v.

The idea that wine might become worth $26 a gallon after fifty years ot maturity, probably never entered the mind of the writer in our contemporary, who asserted that wine was matured enough for market in 90 days. Wine at that age would be about as trashy as the article which describes it. The continual drawback to the wines of California is the fact that they are sold while yet too young. If matured in wood for five years before bottling or using, the quality would be greatly improved. Wine makers should "make haste slowly." Pierre Loisseau, for the same offence, left the same amount, and will appoar for trial the same day, at 1 r.

at, Alphonso Fcrrie and J. M. Puyfourcat also made deposits of 920 each te appear for trial at 10 and I o'clock, respectively, on the 22d irMt. Mariano Molla put up $20 to answer to the same charge at 10 a. m.

of the 23d. E. C. Houche, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, gave bail in 100 for trial before the Superior Court. Dolores Canero, battery, set for trial at 10 a.

M. to-hiorrow, One man charged with battery and four plain drunks were discharged, tbe evidence being insufficient. The Army Moving The startling news conies to us from Fort Yuma that the Ynma Indians, after the troops had left the fortification, demanded that the quarters should be. turned over to them. The demand was refused, when the Indians became desperately unhappy, and one of the tribe, a female Indian, was positively illnaturd because she could not have the use of the kitchen of the abandoned headquarters of the army.

The danger became so imminent that the Quartermaster agent at Yuma telegraphed to department headquarters for reinforcements, and, as a result, the army stationed at San Diego was ordered to proceed to Fort Yuma without delay. It ia needless to say that the whole body of troops, coubisting of ton officers, ten horses, ten saddles, ten servants, and one division of private soldiers, consisting of private Smith, was promptly put in motion, and the sugar hogshead in which the troops were camped is now empty, and the entire force is once more back in the old headquarters, in charge of Lieutenant R. F. Ames, and Yuma is happy again, and the peanut peddlers and bootblacks rejoice, and only the Yuma Indians are sad-eyed and solemn. Mr.

Thomas Wade, of Colton, was np bafore United States Commissioner Lee yesterday, on a charge of selling liquor to Indiana. Three witnesses for the prosecution were examined, and the defense was set for to morrow, to allow witnesses to be secured. Four more warrants for the tame offense, are in the hands of the deputy marshal. Fresno Lands. Attention is directed to the large body of very tine land that tbe Paeifio Coast Land Bureau will offer for sale in Fresno County, near the flourishing town of Fresno, on the 7th of July.

It is safe to assert that a brighter future awaits no portion of our prosperous State than this section of Fresno, its future being no longer a problem to be determined. In no section of our whole country can its line alfalfa fields, magnificent vineyards and orchards of apricot, peach, pear and prune trees bo excelled. It claims to have 2,000 cubic feet of water per second, which means feet per 24 hours, or enough to cover iv one year 1,417,500 acres, 12 inches in depth (more than four times as much land as thia section contains). It will readily be aajen how thoroughly it must be irrigated; and if such lands near Riverside, Pomona and other sections, briug from $100 to $400 per acre, and are indeed cheap at such prices (when the annual revenue obtained from them is borne in mind), such lands as these are certainly great bargains at one-fourth the price, whioh is the remarkably low rate now prevailing iv this section.

I Hickey, who came down the Saula Ana river a few days ago, pays that morr; writer is being wasted iv the can-in by trugators than is being used by the Sanll Ana Valley Irrigation Company. MA. Peters recommends that the Board of Directors go in a body to investigate the matter.

The Stock of Wine. Some Facts and Figures. GtAlitornia is the eleventh State in the Union in tbo aggregate of its railway mileage, which, including sidetracks, is 3,554 miles, of which Los Angeles county has 0M miles, San Diego county, 305 miles, and San Bernardino county, 32u miles, a total of 834 miles of road in the three counties, including the new road on the desert. There are counties in California, of 18 possess no railways. Taking the basis of the 34 remaining, we find that the average per county is 93, while the average of our three southern counties is 278 miles.

Of course this territory is large, but it is sparsely settled, which is an incontrovertible proof that building railways iv a sparsely settled country has made Southern California, and especially Los Angeles, rich and prosperous. Yet nearly all of the railroad counties possess more population than our two sister counties, and two of them more than Los Augeles, which makes the circumstance more noticeable. PROPERTY TRANSFERS.
