The Santa Ana Herald says: A
jaunt into the country Sunday last
gave us an opportunity to pass
through the great fields of wheat,
barley and corn In the neighbor-
hood of Westminster and Ana.
helm. The barley fields are ripe
for the harvesters. While there
ere many spots in the barley fields
we believe the yield in the district
through which we passed will av-
erage well. Most of the corn fields
have full set and look healthy in
color.

The party conceived by Terry Is
disintegrating-Estee has drawn
out and Van Dyke won't have 1t;
other men of prominence are plac-
ing themselves with the organiza-
ti0ns which have stood the test of
time-the parties that have recog-
nized them heretofore, and can rec
ognize them when this craze has
passed away. The defections from
the Terry leadership are numerous,
and there are strong indications
that the party will break up before
the election. 1t will soon be peril
nently known as the Disintegrated
Terry Party.-Alta.
1t would seem from present APP
pearances that the prospects for the
development of the mines at Sill.
verado are getting brighter. The
new process for working refracto-
ry ore, which is creating much ex-
element in mining circles, is
about to be tried there. Messrs.
Morgan & Mills have twenty-five
men at work building road to
their mine preparatory to the haul
ing of the necessary machinery,
etc, for the erection of one of these
mills. The gentlemen mentioned
above have much confidence in this
process, and If 1t proves successful,
others will undoubtedly follow
their example.-Santa Ana Herald.

Ward Club, w. P, c., have adopt
cd a resolution denouneing the San
Francisco Chronicle and its
bantling, the Constitutional
Party, which is styled "gaunt

cludes: And we hereby brand
the Chronicle as dishonest
humbug, and a manufacturer of
false reports; and we advise our fell
low Workingmen and all who de.

people, to now and henceforth dis.
continue taking the said paper; and
no longer have any confidence In
its daily lies and ISLANDERS that are
intended to deceive the people.
Work on the tunnel of the Atch-
ison. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road, through the Ration Noun
tains, is being pushed rapidly. The
tunnel will be 1900 feet long, of
which 1000 feet are already com.
pleted and by the 4th of July next
1t is expected that the work will
be finished. Track laying between
the Ration Mountains and Las
Vegas is progressing at the rate of
three miles day. 1t has already
reached the Ocate river and next
month will pass Las Vegas, which
will be the railway station of the
ancient town of Santa F6 The
next station of importance this side
Of Las Vegas will be Albuquerque,
at the crossing of the Rio Grande.
From this point the line will take
u southwesterly direction towards
Tucson, about six hundred miles
distant, where it will connect with
the Southern Pacific, thus giving

Los Angeles to show the stuff it is

wide awake citizens, three weeks
