Our OIL interests.

Last " eek the California Star Oil
Company struck splendid now well in
the Pco canon. 1t gives us great pleas
ure to be able to say that we are liable
to receive intelligence Of this tenor any
day. for long time to come, as the COM
pany has been, for some time past, en-.
gagged in sinking some nineteen wells in
territory which has never failed to re-
spond, in a prolific way, to intelligent
exploitation. We have written enough
on this subject not to take the breath
away from our readers when we say
that the San Fernando oil region
will shortly approve itself to be pro-
ducer on the scale OF the Pennsylvania
oil sections, with the happy difference
that the manipulators of the oil produc-
ton on this side of the continent are far
too sagacious to squander what ought to
be an enduring element of our national
wealth by pouring it out like water
Now that we are reaching a period at
which the exhaustion of the Pennsyl-
vania petroleum deposits cannot be long
deferred, it becomes matter of general
interest that there exist, in Southern
California, tremendous deposits of oil,
as to which it may be said, with truth,
that there is less waste in the handling
than is the case with any other crude
petroleum hitherto discovered upon the
iootstool. As, at tho highest prices at
which it has ever sold in this country,
petroleum is about four times as cheap
an illuminator as even the sinking
tallow dip, or the feeble rushlight, we
are glad TO note this intelligent policy
upon the part of the California pro.
ducers, even though, as will probably
prove to be the case, it shall mako them
rich beyond the dreams OF avarice, to
employ the happy phrase OF DIR. Samuel
johnson with regard to the widow
Thrale's brewery. We deem it only
IlslL tlatt NJ lulcINol9i We 9HSNiN 'aiA
attention to the fact that, amongst the
sources OF riches of this hitherto dis
priced section Of Southern California, is
an element that is liable to exceed even
our gold and silver deposits in its COM
mercial value The denizens OF the out
side world may gasp and hold their breath,
but We mean exactly what we say. The
sources OF wealth in this section are
multiform, but the oil product viii ulti.
mately prove to be the greatest single
factor Of them all. Then will come our
wines and brandies; and, after these, the
cereals will assert their comparatively
secondary Importance. When all the
subsidiary agencies have been added,
we shall have a grand total of income
producing resources in Los Angeles coun-
ty that will make the head of doubling
Thomas, hailing from San Francisco or
elsewhere, swim like tee.totum, If he
has ever ventured to doubt the fact that
this section is destined to advance at an
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1883-05-01

Having adopted the plan OF going
thoroughly over Los Angeles county, as
n condition precedent TO an intelligent
estimate Of what at present lies ahead
for this section, we confess that our OK.
periences already impel us to talk e1 Ca.
iheara as to the possibilities OF the imme-
diate future. To begin with. no matter
how unprepossossing the soil and sur
roundings Of any given region may look,

cactus patches may bo converted into
agencies of wealth. All that Is needed,
even in the dry sections, are water.
courses of considerable volume. Should
these exist, their intelligent development
will almost at once eventuate in the
most charming settlements known any
where on the American continent. Not
only will multiform and charming growth
result, but all branches Of the citrus
family will flourish therein at ratio un-
heard Of elsewhere in the world. In
addition, both tho wine and the raisin
grape will, at their lowest, exceed any
thing recorded In the limo Of production
in the most storied countries of Europe.
There have been, in Los Angeles county,
well authenticated instances Of specially
prolific grapes yielding as high as four
teen tons to the acre. We know Of even
higher yields, but we do not mention
them, because we do not wish to shock
people OF tender faith. But, with an
average of four tons of grapes to the
acre, a thing really assured here, on any
Of our lands, we have said enough to
make the most prosperous viniculturist
of France or Italy jealous.
As to the raisin grape. the miracles
which have been assured, even in the
infancy Of the industry in this section.
would warm the heart of an investor
who. in addition to sitting down under
his own vine and fig tree, would seek to
profit by reasonable return on his
capital.
The truth is that, after three years,
the proprietor OF vineyard, planted to
the raisin grape, will be delighted by a
pecuniary return ranging from one hun
dred to one hundred and forty dollars
to the acre. The Muscat Of Alexandria
aourishos in Los Angeles county to an
incredible oxtent. As a matter Of
faithful contemporary record, we can
truthfully say that the California raisin
producer, with all his lack of technical
knowledge, at once gives to the market
Of the world staple equal to the very
finest Valencia grapes. He is aided, in
attaining this magnificent result, by the
peculiar features of climate in which
the rainy season proper does not begin
until towards tho end of October, and
rarely, indeed, until the middle of No
vember. Thus our producers are
favored by an unusual continuance OF a
genial sunshine which tells in the supe-
rior quality of the raisin, at the same
time Il at it reduces to a minimum the
expenses of the process Of raisin drying.
The facts at which we have limited point
out Los Angeles as the raisin growing
section, par excellence, of the world.
especially when we remember that here
the raisin grape natures fully month
sooner than its companion wine staples.

THERE have been two publications
absolutely without a parallel in the ex-
perience OF California; We allude, OF
course. to the two editions OF the Los
Angeles ILLUSTRATED HERALD. They
have been without rivals in the past, as
they will be without contestants in the
future. The approaching edition will
consist of thirty-two pages, aud it will
contain all the features Of interest in the
old publications, as well as many new
ones which have never appeared in any
publication devoted to Los Angeles.
The fact is that California. of all the
States Of the Union, is best adapted to
surprises, topographic and other.
