Telephone 15U. MONDAY, MARCH 31. 1890, JAMES ADDISON PERALTA REAVIS. There are few instances in history of a more persistent purpose to surmount apparently insurmountable difficulties in the pursuit of a set determination than the gentleman whose name heads this article has shown in his effort to successfully assert his claim to a monster grant of land in Arizona. Miss Myra Games devoted her life to the establish ment of her father's claim to an estate which covered a great part of New Orleans, and at length, when old age had overtaken her—after she had carried her suit from Court to Court and run over the whole wide gamut of the "law's delays"—she gained the cause for which she had so long and so faithfully struggled. Reavis is yet in the prime of life; bat he has already devoted ten years to the object of collecting and potting into the best shape for legal battle the muni ments of title through which he hopes ultimately to recover a tract of land in the very richest part of Arizona of the enormous dimensions of 15,000 square miles ! The story of this grant, as made up hy the documents submitted, the history they convey and the efforts of the claimant to present a perfect claim of title, is romantic and interesting. We have before us two brochures. One is the adverse report just made of the Sur veyor-General of Arizona, Royal A. Johnson, upon the alleged Peralta grant, in which he conies to the conclu sion that all the papers that have been presented to sustain the grant are for geries. A careful reading of the bro chure, however, impresses one with the idea that Mr. Johnson's conclusion is too sweeping. But we do not intend to take issue with him, nor to pronounce any opinion whatever upon the merits of the claim. We merely wish to give our readers a hasty sketch of the history of this remarkable grant as outlined by the other brochure before us, which is the copy of a petition filed before the Court of Claims of the United States, in which Reavis, his wife and Clinton P. Farrell, trustee, commence suit against the United States to recover eleven million dollars from the Gov ernment for having set off reservations and granted patents., homesteads, etc., to land within the said alleged grant. In setting forth the chain of title, this petition cites as the origin of the grant a royal decree from Ferdinand VI., King of Spain, to Sefior Don Miguel Silva de Peralta de la Cordoba for three hundred square leagues of land to be located in Arizona. The Holy Inquisition of the City of Mexico, in 1757, made a favorable report upon the tract now claimed by Reavis, and in 175S the order of location was made by the Viceroy of New Spain. In the same year Father Francisco Paver, of the Mission of San Xavier, was empowered to locate and give juridical possession of the grant to Peralta in con formity with the royal decree. In 177<i Carlos 111. granted a petition made by Peralta in 1708, praying for a Confirmation of the concession made by his predecessor, Ferdinand VI. On the death of the original grantee, his son. Miguel ile Peralta, went into possession of the grant. He married a lady from Cadiz, and of this union there was born a daughter, who. in course of time, also married, and in her turn left a daughter, who was born in IStiL'. This child, the lineal heir of the orig inal grantee, in 18.S2,became the wife of James Addison Reavis on condition that he should add "Peralta" to his name. This would make the chain of the title perfect,, if the documents are all au thentic. But a curious phase of this whole affair is yet to be told. When Mr. Keavis first started in quest of this grant he was living in Los Angeles. He purchased from Dr. Willing, and after wards from his widow, his right to the Peralta grant, Dr. Witling having, it seems, during Miguel Peralta's life time, secured from that gentleman a conveyance of the claim. Mr. Reavis rested upon this conveyance and prose cuted his case on that basis for some years. But it would seem that in his researches he found that there was a missing link to the chain, and that it could only be made perfect by finding the great grand daughter of the original grantee. Mr. Reavis discovered, as he proceeded deeper into the archives of the City of Mexico and Guadalajara, that the original grantee had made a will in which the Peralta grant was de vised with certain conditions. He per haps also found that he had but a frail, tenure in the purchased rights of Dr. Willing and his wife, and that he would reach solid ground if lie could supple ment and fortify these muniments with the rights possessed by the sole surviv ing heir of the original grantee. With this object in view he went to Spain, and in the person of Dofia Sophia Loreta Micaela Mas 6 y Peralta de la Cordoba he found the lady of his research. It wife doubtless a ease of love at first sight, for he at once wooed and won her. This ends the Peralta-Reavis story. But the case having got into the United States Court of Claims it will doubtless be subjected to a critical legal investiga tion, for if the documents are genuine and the proofs conclusive, the Govern ment will be called upon to deliver over a very large slice of the surplus to sat THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, MARCH SI, 1890. isfy the claim of James Addison Peralta Keavis and his bonnie Castilian bride. Yet we cannot forget that the Anneke Jans case, in which 150 acres in the heart of New York city is involved, has j been vainly prosecuted by the heirs of the old Dutch soldier I for over two hundred years. Jans, as Peralta, was granted by the Dutch Gov eminent an extensive farm on Mart hat- I tan Island, and he lived upon ami culti i vated' it. The English succeeded the i Dutch, and when Queen Anne was on i the throne she executed a charter which I granted the Church of England in New York the very land which had been owned by the old Dutch soldier. His j heirs were dispossessed, and have ever since vainly tried to recover their rights. I The Anneke Jans farm extended from Broadway to the North river, and from Lispenard street to Barclay, and is now worth perhaps $500,000,000. The vestry lof Trinity church have held it with a I firm grip, and it is hardly possible that they will ever be forced to let it go. Perhaps Keavis is just starting out upon a couple of centuries of a legal cruise. ~~ ~ LET THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE BE HEARD. Vigorous measures should be taken at once to let the House of Representatives ;at Washington hear in unmistakable i tones what the people think of the Silver ! bill, based on Secretary AVindom's report. The whole West and South should speak at once, that Congressmen may know what to expect if they' ! betray the cause of their constituents by i voting for the House bill. What should iby all means be done is to pass the bill I introduced in the Senate by Senator j John P. Jones, of Nevada. It is a step in the same line as the Bland act was leading us, and one a long ways in ad vance of where that act left us. Every political club in the West | should send a prompt message of re monstrance to the Representative from I the district in which its members live. ! Every Chamber of Commerce. Board of I Trade and other representative body | in the West ought to do the same thing. : And such action ought not to be de < layed. It must be done at once or the House bill will pass. By its passage the Bland act will stand repealed, and there will not remain a etraw between the goldbugs of Wall street and their pur pose of degrading silver absolutely ! from its position as a coin j metal to the level of all other mere commodities, as iron, or lead, |or potatoes, or dirt. That is the pur pose of the House bill, by whatever means it has been introduced into the popular branch of the Government. It is Windom's programme boiled down and concentrated into the form of a law. It will set up a single gold standard pure and simple. It will keep wheat at 50 cents a bushel to the farmer, steers at $25 apiece to the cattle man, and all the products of the soil at prices so low that no farmer can live, while it will keep money scarce, interest at 12 per cent., the volume of the currency so nar row that manipulators can corner and control it, to their own benefit, to the enriching of the rir-h, and to the beggaring of the poor. By all j means let the people speak, and let their representatives hear what is to be | said on the part of the people for the ' maintenance of their own cause. Lei it be no uncertain sound, and let it be j heard at once. The calamity at Louisville and all \ along the track of the destructive tor* nado is likely to be followed by a still more formidable one on the Lower Mississippi, by the giving away of the levees. The Signal Office has given out very alarming warning notes, and one of the officers has even gone so far as to predict the destruction of New Orleans. It is said thai a vast volume of water has been banked up in the Upper Mississippi by the raising of the bed, aud that the rainfall bus been so great in all the tributaries of the river that as soon as the pressure has become strong enough to break away the obstruction a volume of water which will prove irresistible will (low through and Wash away all the levees of the Lower Mississippi. It is now three days since this prediction was made, but it has not yet been verified. Yet the breaches in the levee above Xew Orleans are continually widening, ! and vast streiehes of territory are under j water. There will inevitably he great suffering, even though there be no loss of life. " The City of Mexico is just now en gaged in a gigantic undertaking for in ternal improvement. The city is at the bottom of a basin surrounded by hills, and with no outlet on any side. The rivers all flow down to the district im mediately surrounding the city, and all the sewage from the houses must settle into the soil. The results are extremely dangerous to the health of the city, and the time this has run and the increase of population make this danger daily greater. So that now the city has undertaken the task of providing means to draw off the storm water and to afford an outlet for the sewage. This is to be done by an enormous tunnel tap ping the mountain at its roots on a level with the lowest portion of the valley. So vast is the undertaking that the con tractors are building a railway alongside of where the conduit is to be con structed, as the tunnel progresses, in order to carry off the earth removed in | the prosecution of the work. With the Lower Mississippi valley all under water; with the Ohio valley swept by a terrific: cyclone; with snow falling at Louisville to cap the climax of i suffering from the storm, and with cattle I 1 'lying of hunger in West Virginia, it ' behooves the secure dweller in this land I j of calm and sunshine and of abundant I crops to be well content with his fate. i ■ i The San Bernardino Time»-Index is out 1 with a fine special edition, well orna- 1 mented with illustrations. It makes a ' fine showing of the products of the great locality in whose interests it is pub- , liflhed. 1 REDONDO BEACH. WHAT A "ROAMING OAKLANDER" THINKS OF THE PLACE. A Graphic Description of the New Hotel and Accounts of Other Improve ments that are Going Forward There.. The Oakland Inquirer of recent date contained a letter of two columns length on matters and things in and about Los Angeles. It was a very sanguine view of affairs here. Most of the letter was devoted to Redondo Beach and what is is going on there. This portion of the communication follows, and says: Redondo Beach is situated near the southeasterly horn of the crescent shaped Santa Monica bay. Mere two ! fellow-townsmen. Captain Ainaworth and Captain R. R. Thompson have in vested a million dollars in the Redondo! Beach property. Already they have a | harbor with substantial wharves, run- j ning out into water forty to sixty feet in i depth, at which the largest ocean i steamers can tie up. Rails are laid and 1 merchandise is lifted from the vessel's hold and swung into the freight cars alongside. The Redondo hotel, which will rival ' the Del Monte and the Coranado, wilt ; be thrown open to the public about the middle*of next month. Located on the 1 sloping lawn a hundred feet or more above the beach, this beautiful struc ture commands from almost every win- j dow a magnificent marine view as well j as landscape. To the south are the high cliffs of Point Vincent, and beyond them, resting on the bosom of the liroad Pacific like a cloud, looms up the island of Catalina. Westerly across the Cresent projects that misty headland Point Duma, which - marks the westerly bounday of Santa Monica hay. Inland, as the eye sweeps from Point Duma, rise the serrated hills of the Santa Monica range, and still further ' north come the sharply-cut outlines of the Sierra Madre range. Still easterly "Old Baldy" and "Cucamonga Peak" i tower up with their summits silvered ! with snow, while from the east "Mount San Bernardino," backed up by "Cray back." marked the easterly boundary of the great San Bernardino valley. A Unique Hotel. The hotel is of unique design, with j many quaint corners and angles, that | make it extremely picturesque. The ground plan reminds you of the' capitals F and V put together, with an | O surmounting the F, thus : The O is tlie dining room, and al though smaller than the celebrated banqueting hall of the Coronado, that Stgats its thousand guests, it is a much Handsomer apartment. In the top part A the F is located the kitchen, provided with every modern convenience, with steamers and refrigerators and cool rooms for the pastry cook, great ranges for cooking meats, waflle ovens, boilers, pastry ovens and conveniences innumer able. The middle of the F is the ball room, with stage and balcony, and a most intricate pattern of inlaid wood loor. Where the middle cross bar of :he F intersects the main upright, are ocated the lobby and various offices, .vliieh are finished in hard wood, The mantel in tlie dining room is a x>em in carved oak ami the same may le said of the lArlfc-s' reception room. Hie northerly and west walls of the din ng room nrc one continuous window of She most wonderfully clear French plate _dass\ overlooking the sparkling waves \ud the Sierra Madre mountains beyond. Light and cheerful corridors extend lorth and south along the main stems of In- F and V and out to the extreme end if the branches ot the Y. The dormitories are on either side nnd ill have a lovely outlook —-all are ''front rooms —not a dark or "back" room in the building. The roof is broken into pinnacles, towers and cupolas, and "hay" and "bow" and "oriel" window s project at many points, giving constant and pleasing surprises to the eye. Some nf the rooms are perfectly lovely. A sumptuously large apartment will have an alcove breaking oil' from one conn r, while from another corner will open ; ; circular or octagon shaped room with plate glass sides, overlooking th< .-t ;i and forming a charming spot for a tete-a-tete, or a smoke, or a book, or a reverie, or where a good wife would delight even in sewing on a husband's shirt buttons. In the court, between the cross bar and the top of the F, is located ;i large brick building called the "power house." In it are two enormous upright llazol ton boilers—the kind that are Shaped 1 beer bottle, you know. They have a capacity of 100 horse power each, and are to run the various machinery of this great establishment—the steam pump, ; the elevators, the dynamos, of which there are two, are for running the one thousand incandescent lights at] through the house and the twelve immense arc lights that are to illuminate the grounds. Water, hot and cold, is carried to every , room. There are cheerful (Ire-places in | all the rooms. They will seldom be j needed, however, as the temperature is I about the same the year round—never hot, never cold. The baths, closets and appointments are all that modern skill can afford. There will be a most charming billiard room, with a cozy "sideboard," and bil liard rooms for the ladies will also be provided. The hotel is now being fur nished with most elegant and tasty car pets and furniture, and no expense is being spared to make it an elegant and comfortable home. The grounds are being laid out by the artist ie gardener who designed the Del Monte grounds, and the plans alone cost $700. A magnificent flight of broad steps lead in terraces down the hill side to the beach, where are located the most ele gant and costly bathing houses on the coast, with dressing rooms and facilities for hot and cold salt water tub baths. Railroad Facilities. The Santa Fe railroad has a branch running from f.os Angeles to Redondo, which makes three or four trips each way daily, and the Redondo Beach Com pany also has its own line of railroad to I.os Angeles, which will be thrown open to the public at the hotel opening, about April loth. They have a new style of "motor" locomotive that burns petro leum for fuel, thus avoiding smoke and Hying eye-destroying cinders. Their trains of ears are the handsomest ever seen in California. They will make hourly trips between the hotel and Los Angeles, a trip of thirty or forty min utes. The depot, a handsome two-story brick structure of elegant architectural design, in keeping with that of the hotel, is located about 100 feet easterly of the hotel. In it are commodious ticket offices, waiting-rooms, and on the second floor are the elegant offices of Captain Ainsworth, of the Redondo Beach Com pany. A thousand feet or so southerly are the car houses and repair shops, and still further south are the hot houses, containing tens of thousands of roses and plants with which to decorate the grounds. Instead of following the usual I custom of numbering the rooms, it is | proposed to individualize many of the principal rooms by giving them names, gnd now the poetic and cultivated taste of the charming Mrs. Captain Ainsworth will bo brought into requisition. "Venice," "Naples," "Como" and many Spanish and Indian mimes will decorate the doors of these charming retreats. The drives about are lovely. In a feu miles at Point Yineal one finds clili's, IPater-Worn caves and rocky headlands. I ith wealth of sea-weed and mosses, and sheltered nooks with sandy beach and lovely shells and deep pools with ' myriads of lish of all hues and sizes, j The beach offers a line road where ! the spray of the ocean is thrown | against the nostrils of the spirited steeds. I From the wharf—but. a few hundred ', yards from the hotel—hundreds of peo ple are fishing for smelt, rock lish, torn rod. mackerel, herring, yellow tails, Spanish mackerel and tlie enormous jew tsh, some weighing 900 to 800 pounds. I The bathing is delightful, the water | warm and invigorating and with just ! sufficient swell and surf to make it inter , esting, without being too rough. "Water From Drive Wells. j The Redondo Beach Company has de veloped a magnificent water system from which poor mnd-be-slobbered Oak ' land might well take a lesson. They j have thirty-two driven wells, two anil j one-half inch pipe, perforated at the j lower end. These drive pipes arc con nected with a 9ix-inch iron main, to which is attached powerful steam pumps. These pumps have a capacity of 1,000,000 gallons a day, and, so far, have been unable to make any apparent decrease in the supply in the subteran ean natural reservoir. The water is pumped to a cemented reservoir 125 feet square ami 20 feet deep, with a capacity of 3,500,000 gallons. This reservoir is located at an elevation of nearly 200 feet above the hotel main floor, thus afford ing good pressure to the hotel and the dwelling and business houses of the town. A. quarter of a mile or so inland is t he Mormon-temple-like ampitheater re cently built by the Chautauqua Society. Its walls are of concrete, octagonal in shape, and surmounted by a tin-clad dome that forms a glistening point of attraction for miles around. The Chau tauqua Society proposes to hold its an nual assemblages here, and it will un doubtedly add much to the attractive* ness of the place. The building was dedicated on the 22d of last month with imposing ceremonies. The public sehoolhouse is a largo three-story frame building, with an ex cellent corps of teachers. 1 might go on for a column or two more describing the attractions of Redondo, but I'm afraid you will cut out a great deal of what I have already written, so will come to a full stop before you weary of the Roaming Oaklander.
