Ostrich Farmi ng In California .

Dwight Whiting. of Boston, who has a
large circle OF acquain:ances in this city,
visited South Africa last fall with view
to investigating ostrich farming. He
spent several months on farm for the
purpose OF attaining an insight into the
business, and came to the conclusion that
it might be made a profitable industry
in this country. He proposes to return
to Africa in November and purchase TWEEN
ty breeding pairs and from forty to fifty
young stock binds, with which he will
probably start farm in the San Joaquin
Valley in this State. The demand for
ostrich feathers is very lreat in all parts
of the civilized world, and enterprise and
experiment may yet make ostrich farming
an important industry in the State, por.
tions of which are thought to be particu
larly we'll adapted for its. F. Gail.
Yuma County has many large tracts OF
United States land especially adapted to
the raising of ostriches. and the climate
being dryer than that of California, Is
more favorable to successful rearing OF
the young to which humid atmosphere
Is fatal. There is i fine field open to the
enterprise of any person desiring to un.
dertake this profitable branch of industry
Some capital is requisite at the outset
but the profits would soon reimburse the
outlay.

great inducements.

Another Quartz Mill.

Geo. Ellsworth is up from Centennial,

Estate.

A smah matter of 100000 In United

which the parties concerned seemed to
have known nothing about, has been
brought to light as forming part of the
MARI Hopkins estate. Both bond, and
coin we're on deposit in the Treasury Mt
Washington. 1t appears that Mr.. Hop
kins purchased the former some years
ago, and up tn the time of his death neg
lected to bring them here or make any
record of them. The discovery of this
important addition to the estate of the
deceased millionaire was made through
G. P. Huntington, the Central Pacific
Railroad magnate, who returned to- this
city from Washington about month ago.

ken to him at one time about some United

the original discovery.
At Smithville, the new town on Cherry

mill will start up next week and the
quartz mill in about 80 days.
In Big Bug District, things are quite
