What Our ands Will Earn.
lSanta Fa Snrinps Ocojdent

An acre of land that will produce
eight tons OF alfalfa. worth at some
time during the year $40 per ton, and
never less than SIS in the'Los An geles
market. will pay net revenue OF 10
per cent on an investment of $1,000
per acre. There are thousands of
acres surrounding Santa Fe Springs
to-day that will do this and can be
had for from $500 to $500 per acre.
Where will an investor find more sat-
isfactory opportunities than these :?
The rich damp bottom lands of the
Cerritos Rancho that will produce
+ ON ten to fourteen tons of alfalfa in
one season per acre, and which E.
Bouton, No. 6 Court street, is selling
at $3.50 per acre, would seem to be the
where" referred to.

In extended travels over the New

of country and study of those who are
sustained by it, and any one with half a
disposition to fairness must admit that
our own country cannot anywhere show
finer farms or more bright and prosper

vcrsation and characteristics of native
passengers travelling between interior
settlements and towns tell as much as
statistics. The face of this fine province,
