CANNING ESTABLISHMENTS.

Some further facts may now be given in re.
lation to the canning establishment about
to be started in this city, as all arrangements
have been completed, and their publication
will not disclose business secrets. The firm
will be composed of J. 81. Carroll, of this
city, and Hickmott and Ashley, of San Fran
cisco, and the establishment will be known
by the name of The Capital Packing Com
pany. The location will be on Front street,
midway between K and l., in what are known
as the Carroll and the Black buildings, which
stand adjoining. The two together have a
frontage of eighty.five feet and the present
buildings extend back one hundred feet A
force of men will be put to work about the
first of January to remodel and connect the
two buildings, which will be practically con-
verified into one, and also extended back to
the alley, the full width and depth OF the lets,
making the area under Roof eighty-tlve by
one hundred and fifty feet.
In addition to fruit canning, general can
ming business will be carried on of whatever
products are to be found in the market
among canned goods and which products are
grown or produced in this section of the State.
Contracts have already been entered into
with salmon fishermen for an extensive sup
ply of those fish, and the canning works are
TO be completed in time for taking the early
run next spring. probably the fore part of
April. 1t is probable that the establishment
will not do as large a canning business
next season as in future years. but the
company expect to put up from fifty
to sixty thousand cases-two dozen cans
to the case = in 1882. Mr.. Carroll
will place $50, 000 in the business at first, and
increase the amount # necessary. Messls.
Hickmott and Ashley bring matured expert
ence into the enterprise, having been toremen
in the extensive canning establishment of A.
Lusk Il Co, San Francisco, and successfully
connected with the business for many years.
Il was intimated in these columns few
days since that the opening of q cannery here,
and the fact of the centralitY of Sacramento
as a fruit market, and the superiority of fruit
in this section of the State from being less in.
jured by the insect pests, would no doubt In
duce the erection of still other canning works
in this city. This is already in fair way to
be realized st an early day, as prominent par
ties, residents of Sacramento, have during
the past week proposed to establish second
packing house here, to be located on Front
street and SAC, 600 has been offered In sub
scription upon the proposition.
