letter Is from correspondent Of the San
Diego Union
The steamer from San Francisco March
9th brought to Ensenada well-equipped
fruit and fish canning establishment,
which will be put into working order at
once at some point on the bay near that
town. The owners have bought 5000
acres of fine land, which they will put
out to fruit trees, and plant with corn,
beans, peas, tomatoes and other garden
vegetables for canning. They brought
on the same steamer 2400 fruit trees,
which will be set out at once. When In
operation the canning factory will EN-
ploy from 200 to 300 hands. Until
supply can be raised, fruit and yeget-
ables will be shipped from San Diego
and San Francisco to supply the wants
Of the factory. Fish, sardines, beef and
turtles will also be canned, when fruit IL
not to be obtained. The General Man
ager, Superintendent and Assistant Su-
perintendsnt arrived by the same steam-
or. They brought with them two and
half tons OF tin and all of the articles,
tools, etc., necessary for the manufao-
ture OF the cans. The establishment as
II lie, cost $40, 600 in San Francisco.
The first steamer of the new Pacific
Mexican steamship line left Victoria,
BIC. on on the 10th, and will call at
Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco,
Ensenada (the 10Th Of each month";,
Magdelenas Cape st. Lucas, Mazallan,
San Bias, Acapulco and Manzanillc,
Another steamer will be added to this
line in June. The steamers will make q
round trip each per month. These, with
the steamer Newbern, will make three
steamers per month each way from San
Francisco to Mazatlan and way ports,
each calling at Ensenada both up and
down the coast, and all carrying the
mails.
The canning company, together with
the Huller Colonization Company, have
arranged to put on small steamer be-
tween San Diego and Ensenada, making
tri-weskly trips, and during the fruit
season daily trips between these two
ports. This will be great accommoda-
ton to the people in the frontier and no
small help to the trade Of San Diego.
The Canning Company have fifty
families ready to move to Ensenada as
soon as the factory is built and houses
are ready for them to occupy.
Two Pennsylvania capitalists have
lately purchased large tracts Of land,
and will soon return and build cottages
On the bay, where their families will
spend their winters.
