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

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.
