EDITOR MINER: Our little party,
composed Of Mr.. d. n. Dellinger, Mr..
r. w. Miller and myself, left San Fran
cisco on the morning Of the 1t inst. on
the steamer Orizaba for Los Angeles.
We had splendid trip coming and
were out only two days and nights.
Although the ship rolled very heavily
. portion of the time, and many Of the
passenger improved the occasion to
cast up their accounts, our party was ~
hearty ~ old salts and enjoyed the pass
age hugely.
On our arrival here we met our fellow
townsman, Mr.. Joseph Rosenthal and
his bride, who Joined our party at once,
thus increasing its number to i've. MIS-.
Rosenthal is . lady Of pleasing address,
young and very beautiful. She Is .
fav0rite with us all. We called
on Mrs. Stapleton and found her long
ing for the time to roll found when she
may return to Montana. Our party,
under the guidance Of Mr.. Norton, OF
Los Angeles, visited Sierra Madra villa
to-day. The villa is about fifteen miles
from this city and Is . very popular
place Of resort. Tomorrow We 90 to
San Monica. At which place, it Is said, Is
the finest beach on the coast.
Go in whatever direction you may
from this city you will find large and
beautiful orange and lemon groves in
the highest state Of cultivation. Dave
Waldron has fine place near the city,
and understand has refused 5000 an
acre for it. There are great many resi-
dences here surrounded by the most
beautiful PARKS and lawns. The drives
are very fine. On either hand for miles
are large shade and ornamental trees,
but fences are unknown.
1t would appear that each man is try
ing to surpass his neiyhbor in beautify-
ing his place. Almost everything
which will grow in any other country
will thrive here, and in few years this
section will be perfect paradise as far
~ art and vegetation can make 1t. 1
notice that all the labor here is perform
ed by Cinnamon. We have visited sew
eral orange groves and were always
kindly received, especially by Mr.. o.
Fl. Bliss, who, by the way, IL an old
California miner. He loaded ~ down
with fruit and ins,sted we should call
again before leaving the city, which We
will undoubtedly do.
From what have written it must not
be thought am infatuated with Cali
f0rnia for such is not the case. The
bright side Of the picture is very pretty,
30 is the silver lining of the darkest
cloud. The other side is not so bcauti-
ful. 1t shows u the stern realities Of
life which, after all, daily stare Us in
The face and which in the end will as
~ert their supremacy. These nice
places arc owned by rich people and
rich people own nice places in every
CO ntry. choose to say nothing about
the evidences Of poverty which may lie
seen here, but it is Lot from the
want of that evidence.
The Chinese question is causing great
excitement throughout this State.
There are fully thirty thousand Chi
ntse in San Francisco and the people
are becoming thoroughly tired of them.
They are driving out white labor in all
branches Of trade and II Congress refuse
to give them relief from the constantly
increasing hOrsle the people themselves
will Ike compelled to resort to force and
drive these heathens from their midst.
They are terribly in earnest. II they
remain here the wives and children OF
the rOOr white man will starve in the
streets. The Chinese must 90. That is
my ticket. J. A. H.
