Benevolent Earthquake.

•- Earthquakes, as a general rule, are disturbances not greatly desired, but one occurred at Piru, Ventura county, a few days ago that proved a money maker for the Diamond Valley OU company—most of the stockholders of which are Anaheim parties. The Diamond Valley company had been having lots of trouble with No. i well, which ceased to be a producer on account of water. The trembler came along when the well was about tobe abandoned, aqd completely shut off the water and started a fine flow of 32-gravlty oil. The well Is expected to continue as a steady producer, nob withstanding the queer way in which It was brought in.—Anabeln (Cat) Correspondent Plain Dealer.
