WIN. II. MARTIN, General Agent California
Immigrant Unions-Dear Sir:-I have just Wis
tied the "Centinela and Saucal Redondan
Rancho, and driven over the land described in
your advertisement. With all my experience
in the southern part of California, have seen
nothing to surpass this tract in fertility of soil
beauty of location, and advantage of easy ac-
cess and salubrity ofclimate. For purposes of
colonization, know ofno large body of land
so near growing commercial centre in Cali
fornia or elsewhere, 10 equal it. No part of it
Is unavailable for Farms, orchards or home
steads. 1t can be subdivided into lots ranging
from five acres TO several hunered acres and
every acre of it can be made productive. Water
is abundant and convenient, The land is
subject to easy Irrigation; and can vouch for
the fact that IL will produce anything that
fiourishes in Los Angeles or Santa Barbara
counties. 1t Is my confident opinion that the
value of shares in this magnificent tract will
be quadrupled within two years, suchsis the
extraordinary influx of immigration to the
vicinity of Los Angeles at the present time.
am very truly yours,
j. ROSS BROWNE.
