we have it from good authority that the
road il distinct from the San Gabriel
valley line, though of course q junction
may be bsilt through above the other.
There is talk of running lower line
which would come down to Eighth or
Seventh street, but the present line will
b. run through to Los Angeles first.
Too much Importance should not be at
tached to this survey as indicating ex.
actly where the road will come. Our
own opinion is that the Riverside, Santa
Ana & Los Angeles branch is to be
pushed ahead, over one hundred teams

look for the completion of the foothill
line this winter. Pomona Progress.
THE AzUsA COUNTRY.
Land of as good quality as can
be found within the limits OF Southern
California, situated in as fine fruit
growing locality as can be boast, d OF
anywhere, is selling this week at from
4l25 to 500 per acre, and within sixty
DAYS the came land will be considered
cheap at twice those figures. Don't you
forget this item.
KAHN commenced falling early Satur-
day evening last and continued most OF
the night, about two inches falling dur
log the storm. Sunday morning the
sun arose clear and bright, revealing one
of the most beautiful mountain scenes
that can be pictured. "Old Baldy" and
the surrounding peaks Of the Sierra
Madre were covered with coat of old

magic, and the beauty of Southern Cali
fornia will again be restored.
We have been informed that the sale
of the rich silver mine, q few miles up
the San Gabriel canon, which we re.
ported few weeks ago, has been con-
animated, and that the company will ex-
pend $500, 600 in the erection of mill
and the development of the mine. This
adds another great industry to our val
ley, and that every farmer will bail with
delight. If the mine proves as good as
the present prospects indicate, we will
soon have a cash market at our very
doors for large portion of our produce,
~ there will, without doubt, be a
mining town built up at the mine of
several hundred souls. Taking it oil
around there is no portion of California
to-day with brighter future prospects
than the upper San Gabriel valley, and
that fact is fast becoming known to the
world, and as o result capital is ming

will be erected for home as soon as the
plans can be obtained. 1t is understood
that the Doctor will wall his whole
frontage on Colorado street, ornament
ing with an iron fence on top, and other
attracting improvements also on Orange
Grove avenue are contemplated. This
he considers is money well invested.
He has few more valuable lots that
will not long remain on the market,
with the present demand for fine resi-
dence property.
A company has been formed in this
city for the purpose of engaging in crys.

will open up a market for the small
growers, as well as the larger, enabling
them to dispose of much that would
otherwise be lost. There will be spe.

will strongly urge extensive planting Of
that delicious fruit.-We Union.
THE NEW RAILROAD
We have stated, and we again state,
that there is authority for saying that
Santa Ana is to be on the main line to

San Diego, OF the great Atchison and
Topeka line now building from River.

junction of these roads, as, being the
most important shipping point in the
southern part OF the county. and the
largest and most populous town in the
valley, it is justly entitled to be. 1t

machinery for the roads. As we said
before, Santa Ana is destined to be an
important railroad center, all movements
tending in that direction. Four rail.
road lines will radiate from this point,
including the road to Newport, which is
to be built in the near future. With
the present railroad developments, it is
no wonder that our town and valley is
