any broad belt OF settled lands, this tine tract
which possesses less dras backs than nine
tenths Of the farming lands Of California,
has seemingly had It's merits over.looked
The purchases made upon The tract have
hitherto been mainly by persons living in the
mountains above.
Wood aud water are plentiful and easy to
get. Oak timber is in the majority. Good
we'll water, unfailing in quantity Is reached
In from ~ to IS feet, according to location.
The drainage Is such that very little damage
is ever done by the heaviest floods. All The
surplus water drain of In = few days. Good
roads for hauling extend all over the Read

For rsising wheat, oats, barley, corn, beans,
melons, bsets, peanuts, sweet potatoes, flax.
hops, all kinds Of fruit, various vegetables,
and in many places alfalfa, no irrigation Is
required. However, the opportunity for ir-
rigating almost the entire tract Of the RI d.
ing Grant Is u Ost exceedingly favorable from
the Sacramento river, or from Clear creek
and other sources.
Deer abound in nearly oil parts OF the

Small game lie plentiful and less limited than
in some parts Of California.

belt and pass on for miles over a timhered

Of grain, fruits and vegetables. In many

This variety In Alameda county will decay In
January. Just at 9his season (early Juue)
the cherries are beginning, and the large
English COOS berries which do not mildew
here. In fact, all the small fruits flourish re.
markably and huve a richer flavor than In
the valley.
We advise parties interested to call on Mr.
Frisbic, or send for his illustrated circular.
