Daily Los Angeles herald., 1884-06-04

The Arizona Star has this to say
about one Of our townsmen, and bis
friends hope 1t will all piove true:
s'Thomas Gates leaves this morning with
men to commence work in opening a
road from the Rillito station to Silver
Hill district, As soon as the road is
completed, Mr. Gates will commence
shipping from the Abbic Waterman to
the railroad. The interests OF Murphy
and Gibson have been purchased by w.
P. Wood, and the McNally interest has
been purchased by ID. D. Hall; so that
the Abbie Waterman will be worked for
all it is worth. The Importance of the
property to Tucson is worthy OF notice.
1t is probably the largest carbonate
mine in Southern Arizona, and will yield
O large return to its fortunate owners,

permanent producing mines.

7ropie, does not like to wait till the
evening for the Los Angeles HERALD.
published in the morning, only about
fifty miles away, and he thus expresses
his well-founded sorrow, which is true
and sincere: 1--WE have often wondered
why the proprietors OF the Los Angeles
daily papers do not make arrangements
for sending their papers out as far as
Cotton on 'The Local, or Accommoia-
ton train, which always arrives here
some hours in advance of the regular ex-
press mail. II they Would show little
more enterprise in getting their papers
early to their subscribers in this section
Of the country they would be able to Sc
cure much larger subscription lists, and
extend their usefulness
Wentworth'h Resources of California
says "Thc planting of trees along the
line Of the Southern Pacific Railroad is
said to be successful experiment.
Those planted a year or two ago are
thriving, and the work is to be con
tinued as far east as Montana. There
were planted last year two species OF
maple, hard and soft locust, black wal
nut, elder, peach, cherry and apple.
This shows that our treeless plains
could, within comparatively brief
period, be covered with timber that
would be Of incalculable benefit in many
ways to settlers in such localities"
The Pomona Times Courier says that in
that fourishing settlement during the
past year there have been planted in fruit
trees lS45 acres, s2S acres of grapevines,
besides $4,000 eucalyptus, cypress and
other ornamental trees. Also it appears
that 1850 acres of wild land were
brought under cultivation in and around
that place. That would indicate, at
seventy five trees to the acre for fruit
trees, the setting out OF 100. 600 Sees or
2l2, 600 of fruit, forest and ornamental
trees and 900, 900 vines. That is good
enough for one settlement. Next.
