to pay toll can avoid it by driving on the
county road Pasadena Union.

men from his Death Valley gold mine
through Henry Waddington, who is now
out there. The Captain had the speci-
men assayed and it runs 16 grains of free

This is very rich assay and promises a
big fortune for some one if it pans out on
this basis when the claim is properly
opened up.-[Riverside Enterprise.
The work of lowering 40 feet of iron
casing into Hulbut's artesian we'll was
successfully completed yesterday. 1t

be suspended with block and tackle and
gradually lowered as the successive joints
were added. The machine for boring is
one of the best used, and rapid progress
will now be made, no doubt, in boring.

The pear is success in this colony, but
it is question whether it is profitable to
devote fine citrus land to the cultivation
of any kind of deciduous fruit. AS a
business proposition We should say not,
for the amount of good citrus land is quite
limited, and consequently valuable, while
the amount of deciduous land is practic-
ally unlimited and can in consequence be
