CAPAY VALLEY.

General Condition of Things in and
Around Esperanza.
The RECORD UNION regular correspond
ent at Esperauza sends the following under
date of the 8th:
The claim made by this valley for the
earliest fruit shipments is fully verified by
the fact that for the past four weeks ripe
luscious peaches have been eaten from the
Cadanassa orchards.
The grapes are now ripe on the Flint
place above Rumsey. Large, firm, ripe
blackberries were taken in to Woodland
last Monday from the Cache creek orchards,
and all this without irrigation. Ripe
peaches grown III Capay have been on the
hotel table for the past week. The new or
chards that have been set out here are look
ing unusually thrifty and promising.
In speaking of new orchards, notice an
item taken from the Mail, which, in refer
ring to DIR. Clark's orange orchard at this
place, says " one acre of 200 trees" This
orchard consists of over ten acres, and be-
tween 1,500 and 1000 choice orange trees,
which are all living and looking well. In
view of the above facts the purchasers of
land on the Bonynge tract, who paid $3.50
and $500 per acre, have.no reason to regret
their investment, but on the contrary
should consider themselves lucky in secur-
ing such property at nominal cost.
The improvements continue to increase
here. The hotel is nearing completion.
Plumbers are laying pipes throughout the
building. The water works are completed,
and have their ,00C-gallon tank full of
tne water, and the main pipe laid along
4o!o avenue. Brick is being made here at
the rate of G, 800 per day, with about $50 600
dried in the kiln, and more adding daily.
Grain is ripening fast, headers are run
ming, and crops surpass anything vet seen.
There were over 5000 tonssof hay cut from
the Bonynge tract this year, some of it 60
ing four tons to the acre from second years
volunteer.
