bB"A gentleman residing between this
place and Greenwood Valley has been en-
gagged for the past three weeks in taking up
young arbor vitae trees and sending them
to the Sacramento market. He informs US
that he has disposed of at that place nearly
five hundred trees, and at prices highly re-
munerative. The arbor vitae is perhaps the
most beautiful tree that adorns the noun
tains of California, and can be admirably
adapted as a shade or ornamental tree, its
foliage being dense and continually green.

CoRRECTIoN.-We inadvertently stated
in our last issue that the P. & r. G. G. Co
and Ell Dorado Ditch Co., had cojointly
reduced the price of water one-third their
former rates. We should have said that
the Ell Dorado Ditch Go. had done SO, which
was the case. We misunderstood the gen
tleman from whom the information was re-
ceived. In justice to both companies we
cheerfully make the correction. The El
Dorado Ditch Company was the first to
make the reduction. This latter company
is now furnishing water at prices varying
from 80 to so cents per inch.

TRANsPLANTATIoN OF FRUIT TREEs.-
Large numbers of Peach and other fruit
trees are being transplanted in this neigh
borhood at the present time. 1t is quite
frequent we notice wagon-loads of trees of
different kinds brought to this place and a
ready disposition made of the same to pur-
chasers, who seem to be numerous. We
understand nearly every ranch and garden
in this vicinity, is being well supplied with
trees. A very few years hence and the
mountains will produce as much fruit as
can possibly be consumed throughout the
entire mining region, and that too, at rates
not ruinous to the purchaser, as has been
the case heretofore In fact, at this season
Of the year, fresh green fruit cannot be had
in its natural state, and we are entirely de-
pendent on that which is shipped in cans
from other sources.
