correspondent of the Pennington Chron-

county, and finds the colony in quite pros
porous condition. lie says: ''The Swedes
seem to be peaceable and well disposed, but
very difficult to satisfy think that as the State
has assisted them it should continue to do so. :"
Some of the women seem to be quite energet-

The New Gas Works.

There will be meeting at Temples
Bank this evening to form the Com
pany for the erection of the proposed
new Gas Works. We think this
movement is important, not only in
view of the important reduction in the
cost gas that is likely to follow, but
for the reason that the operations of
the new company are likely to have a
favorable effect upon the development
of our oil interests. 1t is the intention
Of the projectors of this enterprise to
employ the petroleum of the San
Fernando wells in the manufacture of
gas, and this can hardly fail to result
in attracting much attention to
these deposits. Attention is all they
need, and once let the eyes of the
world be opened to their immense
wealth, and they will soon become
the center of attraction.

Ranlie and Jute.

The Commissioner of Agriculture
has issued pamphlet, prepared by
Emile Lefranc of New Orleans, giving
valuable information about the cul-
ture of these plants. AS the question
Of providing sacks for our immense
wheat crop, and bagging for baling
our wool, is an important one, we give
such portions Of the pamphlet as seem
10 be of the greatest interest. In re-
gard to the cultivation of jute, which
inst now occupies the attention of
California farmers, it says:
"To obtain good fiber crops the land
must be elevated, rich, moist and well
drained, as in India; to raise seed, low
lands may be used, provided that ia
vOrable weather allows sowing and
enables the growing plants to keep
above the points of overflow. How
ever, when the growth is fully started,
water is not to be feared so long as the
tips remain above the surface of sub
mersion.
"In the first place jute is sown broad
east, in the second, it drills five feet
apart. That interval is to facilitate
the branching, and at the same time
the destruction, by blowing, of the
tall weeds which generally occupy low
lands. In both methods the soil must
he prepared as for ramie, plOwed as
deep as possible in January and Feb
ruary, then left exposed to the atmOs-
pheric influences until the planting
period. That period commences with
April and terminates with June, in
monthly succession. TO prepare for
sowing q second blowing is required,
and as fine narrowing rs can be ef-
fected. The circular pulve riZer,' APP
piled before the harrow, shortens the
labor. Then the sowing for fiber crop
is performed broadcast with Calhoun
sower. With that instrument, cost
ing eight or ten dollars, a man can
SOW ten acres of jute per day. The
quantity of seed required for each acre
is from twelve to fifteen pounds. That
is amply sufficient, and, il the Hin
docs put more in their land, there
must be some accountable reason for
that excess. Either the condition of
their seed or of their land is inferior to
that of America, or they are singular
ly prone to go to waste. We have re-
peatedly observed that when the
growth is thicker than what is allowed
by the aforesaid quantity of seed, some
natural destructive agent enters into
the stand and thins the space to the
limit demanded by the plant. This
fact was verified in several pots of
jute- plantation in louisiana. There
fore no advantage at all can be dcriv ed
from prodigality in sowing. The equal
distribution obtained by the mechan-
zeal sower may account also for the
economical difference existing be-
tween us and the Hindoo planters,
who, having no machinery whatever,
do all their work by hand.
HThe ground being well filled and
the seed properly sown, on wet days II

possible the jutc is left alone like
wheat. No other care than that OF
drainage is necessary until maturity.
t'The cost of that first operation can
not exceed 81 per acre, if the material
is adequate and the management judi
cious. That expense, of course, does
not include the value Of the seed, be-
cause after the first outlay planters
will provide themselves with it from
the low lands, or from the weak spots
on the plantation. In the bottoms,
when we plant in drills for seed, sub
sequent blowing or two will be neces-
sary in the intervals to neutralize
the encroachments ofgrass. In Louis
lana that labor is necessity princi-
pally for the purpose of combating
the tall weed called "wild indigo,'
which occupies the low grounds. That
tall weed, which is so tibrous, is the
only weed that keeps pace in growth
with iute; all other plants are distanc-
ed and smothered by the shade of the
corchorus.'
'In the field planted broadcast no
parasite can resist the vigorous ana
absorbing influence of iute. Even the
hardy and noXious gramineal plant,
commonly called "coco' in Louisiana,
is destroyed after two seasons of broad
cast cultivation. Another peculiar
advantage of jute planting is the an
tagonistic influence it exerts over in
sects, especially the lepidoptera tribe,
which generates the caterpillar IT.
having been stated in some reports OF
the Department of Agriculture that
cotton fields surrounded by jute plan
tations were respected by the devour-
ing worms, the director of the Ramie
Planting Association made special eX-
periments to test the reported fact.
Three different fields planted with va
rious sorts of cotton, were belted by
jute. None of them were visited by
the caterpillar, while the cotton of
adjacent plantations was partly des-
troyed by the insect. That protection
is attributed to the above mentioned
influence hostile to insects"

our Mineral Resources.

The mountains surrounding Los An
geles are undoubtedly the storehouse
of more mineral wealth than has ever
been developed in like area of the
earth's surface. The oil of the San
Fernando will unquestionably before
long take rank as one of the richest
products of the Pacific Coast. 1t only
waits the developing hand of capital
to spring into magnitude, not excell-
ed even by the oil regions of Pennsyl-
vania. China and Japan are just be-
ginning to call on lis for oil. This de-
mand will insure market for all that
we can produce.
The Cerro Gordo mining region is
already developed to an extent that
makes it necessary that additional
means of communication shall be inn
mediately provided. The Pannamint
discoveries, wonderful as they already
prove to be, are only the opening of
the threshold. The best mineral de-
posts that are known to exist will
soon pour forth tide of wealth that
will eclipse any mining region in the
State.
The Holcombe Valley mines are de-
veloping day by day wonderful rich
ness, and if the half that is told be
true, the wonders of the Comstock lode
will be repeated.
Another grand discovery, this time
of cinnabar, on the line between San
Diego and San Bernardino counties,
has been reported, and its richness
seems to be authenticity established.
There is wealth enough lying buried
in these various localities, and only
waiting the hand Of capital and labor,
to support city greater than this con-
tinent has ever seen. 1t may take
years to develop them and bring their
wonderful riches to light, but In the
meantime we should be preparing to
reap the benefit of these vast deposits.
Some great city must be the entrepot
OF the streams of wealth that
will soon begin to flow into the COM
mercial world, and if the business men
Of Los Angeles are wise, they will
prepare the way for this city to occupy
that position. No mere natural adj
vantages of position will ever give
any locality the control of the trade
that the future is bound to develop.
We must provide means of commune
cation with all these rich districts.
We must also have adequate cOmmu-
ncation with the sea, and this COM
inunieation must not be under the
control of an organization the inter-
ests of which are in contrary direc-
ton to our own.
We are already doing something in
the oil regions. Our attention has
been recently directed toward the
mining regions, and good feeling
has been established. Let us keep up
the march of Improvement, and our
future prosperity is assured.

Publication OF Water.

Mr.. Cookies, an English chemist,
recently prepared a memorandum"
on the publication of water for the
benefit of the army at Ashontee. His
remarks are of general character,
and merit attention in all places where
the water is more or less impure. He
says:
Under the name of A B G compound,
a mixture of sulphate of alnmina, clay
and charcoal has been successfully
used by the Native Guano Company
for the publication of sewage. At their
works l have repeatedly seen the sew
age at such places at London, Paris,
Hastings and Leeds converted in the
course of an hour from an offensive
looking, vile-smelling liquid into wa
ter, bright, clear, inOdOrous and taste
less, non-putrescible and so free from
injurious matter as to allow delicate
fish to live and thrive in it.
With little necessary modification
/ consider that mixture capable of
acting thus OH town sewage is the
most suitable for the publication of
water for drinking purposes on the
Gold coast. would suggest that the
charcoal be omitted, and its place be
supplied by permanganate. The or
binary potash salt will do, but, if pro-
durable in time, [ have reason for
believing that permanganate of lime
would answer the purpose better. I
have prepared mixture of one part
of permanganate of lime, ten parts
sulphate of alumina, thirty parts fine
clay, and find that when l add this to
London sewage in the proportion of
twenty to 10000, the publication Is
very satisfactory, and the settlement
rapid. With foul ditch-water a less
quantity will do.
The mixture can be filtered, in
stantly yielding bright filtrate, or it
can be allowed to settle for quarter
of an hour, when the supernatant wa
ter can be poured off equally bright.
