e- THE WOOGI.EN MILL
of Messrs. Sacriste and Eliot The
mill is twO-story brick building, sol
idly constructed, and built for its pres
ent purpose. The water-pOwer attached
to the mill is capable of raising the
water Go feet. Adjoining are the out
buildings for washing, securing and
dyeing the wool. The carling ma
chimes are from the firm OF Brodrupp
y Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and the looms
from Further 4 Davis and jerks 4 Sons.
The finishing machinery was imported
from Wilder 4 Co., New York. The
mill has been running since the first of
June. 1t consumes 400 pounds of wool
daily, purchased from different parties.
The interest is essentially home one,
inasmuch as the entire products of the
mill are consumed i'm Los Angeles,
where the goods are all disposed of.
More machinery for blanketing will
be added to the mill during the pres
ent month. The various processes of
securing, dyeing, pickering, cariing,
spinning, weaving, fulling, spearing,
mapping, pressing, etc, may be seen
daily in operation at the mill.

THE PIONEER TANNERY
was established in 1869 by Kalisher &
Co., and though temporarily stopped
from the other interests of its owners,
has every facility for carrying on the
business. The tamnery consists of II
watts or pits in the yard, and 10 watts in
side. The yard is capable of tanning
little over 1880 hides yearly, /. e,
about $500 sides. The work lately done
there consisted of the tanning of goat,
sheep and calf-skins, and the prepara-
ton Of morocco leather. In cOnnec-
tion with the tannery are facilities for
pulling, drying and pressing wools.
Bark is very plentiful, and the busi-
ness paying one. The cultivation of
THE LOS ANGELES LANDS,
the property of Mr.. Prudent Beaudry,
is another useful and profitable indus
try. The Bellevue Terrace has been
planted with orange, lemon and Orna-
mental trees. The various tracts, COM
prising some 36S lots, are gradually
being sold on the instalment system,
and the operations, though slow, and
bearing no interest, are as satisfactory
to the buyer as to the seller. Allusion
