would surprise outsiders by its extent
and magnitude. Take the Harper &
Reynolds Company, for instance. that
has recently been incorporated with
capital stock OF $25. 900. Few that have
not been through their extensive estab-
lishment running from Main to Los An
peles streets, realize what a great trade
thew command, both retail and jobbing.
Probably no firm on this coast has bet
ter facilities for buying goods, and in
many lines they carry as large stock as
car be found in San Francisco. In the
one item OF oil stoves they have sold
during the past year five car loads Of
Golden Star Oil and Gasoline stoves and
ranges. We believe they have earned
their success by fair and honest dealing.
Let all apple growers remember that
in 1875 the apples that took the premi-
um at the great fair at the Commercial
street depot in this city. came from San

Coast. but at the great fair at Dubuque.
Iowa. last year, the Los Angeles apples
bore away the premium against Iowa,
Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
same can be done again in any part OF
the United States. We have the best
apple, plum and pear country in Amer
lea, and all that remains to be done is to
plant the proper varieties, take care of
them and we can beat the world. Shall
II bo done!
The San Bernardino Inder has the
following: "Mr. Monroe Stewart has
brought to the Inder office some curious
screenings taken out Of an artesiaa well
bored on B street. at the depth Of lS0
feet. The first striking thing is piece
Of glazed pottery. How and when did
it get there? Next . piece Of charcoal,
portion Of the fang Of tooth, pieces
Of bones and Of pstriied wood, and an
oxydized iron scale such as might be
found OIL any iron instrument. The

ancient ilhbedded drift. but are recent
deposits from mountain surfaces through
underground streams of water"
