PHIZANO, Los Angeles County, 1 October, 17th, 1878. / Editok Herald:—Phlxano In v new name for "Soledad." There being two places already in the Stute l>y the latter name, it became necessary to seek a new one for this. It owes its paternity to Bride Grimes, of Ven tura, and is located in "Soledad Pass" 12 miles from its commencement at the Desert, and 9 miles from its ter mination at Lang's. Where I'hizmio Is. It is in Los Angeles county >>~ miles from Los Angeles by wagon roail, and 05 from Ventura. This "Pass" forms the easiest route of communication between the Desert and the coast. All the CetTO Gordo teams now pass through it on their way from the mines to Los Angeles. There are no objectionable hills to overcome, and only occasional sandy places in the dry river bed, that prove troublesome at all. Very little timber is found in the immediate pass, but the anoyos that lead in from behind mountain sneers, are said to be furnished with pine of good quality, rows of which can be seen, also, on the crests of the mountains. The mountains are gener ally composed of granite, which iti many instances has decayed to such an extent as to furnish soil sufficient to cover them deeply in places, often to their very tops. Considerable clay is mingled" with this soil, and sage, grease wood, and sometimes cedar take root and grow in scattered bunches clear up to (heir summits. "Mount Gleason" is the highest point. It is 6,70(1 feet above the sea, ami 4,800 feet above the Phizano. There is A Ntrenm of Fine Wnter Issuing from springs above, and at this point, that supplies most ofthe pass below. Around these springs is a beautiful cienega with trees and vines, so rarely found in this climate, that the day is not distant when it will be sought by invalids, whose enerva ted systems'fail to receive benefit from the moist atmosphere of the coast. Fogs seldom reach here—but they sometimes rest on the top of Mount (lleason or scud along the whole range, growing thinner and lighter as they pass on toward the desert. Average mean temperature for September 71° —first half of October 08°. Prevailing winds from the west. No rain—lirst frost on the morning of the loth inst. The Town of l'hlzano. This is but a small town yet, not more than lo buildings in all, many of which are unoccupied. A few years since there was great excite ment about mines near here, and a miner's town of about 1,000 inhabit ants sprung into existence under the magic influence of gold and silver. A few fragments of chimneys, and a rank growth of weeds, are all that mark the site of "Ravena." Two idle uuartz mills.in good repair, are still standing a short distance below, but the pass so recently alive with active business, has lapsed into a state of re pose and silence so profound, that it may justly cling to its appropriate name of "Soledad Pass." The only variation consists in the travel through it, not from industries of its own. Fceliug an interest in your new paper which really rivals those of our old est cities, I have spent an hour in giv ing you a practical description of a liortion of your county, Which may >c new to some of your readers. ' A Scrsc'riukr. Vineyards. The present success and prosperous development of the grape growing bu siness in California, are of great im portance to the people of this State, and to the nation at large. In other countries, where the vine is extensive ly cultivated, an average crop insures prosperity. Not so, however, in Cali fornia. There, where a plenteous vint age is the rule and not the exception, the business languishes, and the labor er is unrewarded. For this there must be a cause, and this cause should be removed. Under the existing laws concerning stills, and the making of spirits, the extensive cultivation of the grape can not prove .remunerative. The great bulk of the grape crop must be con verted into wine or brandy. It cannot be converted into food for mankind, or fed to animals and changed into meat. Wine will not become a popular beverage, unless it be good ami cheap. Good wine cannot be made and sold at a low price, unless the inferior grapes, the pomice, the lees and bad wines of the vintage can be profitably convert ed into brandy. There is no sound reason why the same tax should be assessed upon a gallon of grape brandy made, as it is, out of materials that have no value, and which cannot be made to answer any other beneficial purpose, as is as sessed upon a gallon of grain spirits, which is made out of materials that are valuable, and the conversion of which into spirits, tends directly to in crease the price of bread and meal throughout the country. Let the grape growers of California make one united prayer to Congress for the removal of the tax upon grape brandy, and if successful, they may not be forced to root up their vines and devote their vineyard land to other purposes. If Congress desires the cultivation of the grape for wine-making purposes, it must abolish the tax upon grape brandy, or its desires will not be real ized. ViD. WANTED —IN ALL NEIGH BORING!
