Bold Move By the Canada Pacific.


There seems to be but little question
that the Canadian Pacific Is seeking en-
American terminus. and that tie company
IL now making preparations to build
through United States territory to New

for some time past, surveyors in the north

ago company was organized under the
laws OF New Jersey TO construct q railroad
beginning at Little Ferry. with a terminus
on the Hudson river at EdgewOrth, and
evidence has been obtained showing that
lt il q road to be built in the interest of the
Canadi an Pacific which thus would secure
q terminal at New York city. and il Is be-

this as 1t may. the movements of the Ca

The Manufacture Of Asphaite Paint.

Southern California comes to the front
sgain with a product OF asphaltum. the
qualities of which, for making dura-
bic and economical paint, are unex-
celled. 1t has the valuable property of
remaining on wood, tin, iron or brick
without cracking or oxidizing for years
and leaves heavy, glossy body where
it is applied.
For more than five years the Los Ange.
les Oil Burning and Supply company
have been manufacturing this paint and
improving Oh it as it's valuable qualities
became better understood and have now
got it down to so fine point as to be
able to put an article on the market at O
figure much lower than any durable and
serviceable paint in the United States,
or, we may say, the world. Shipments
of this paint are going east into Arizona
and New Mexico and demand from
railroads for use on their iron bridges
and station roofs, ETC., showing that it
is being appreciated after years of trial.
The enormous demand for frst-class
article of asphalte paint cheap enough
for general use is surprising, and as our
California product becomes better
known it will without doubt supercede
the limitations made principally from
resin and black or coal tar pro-
ducts and sold as asphalte paint.
The 0. B. and S. asphalt paint, as man
ufactured by the Los Angeles Oil Burning
and Supply company, is made from
asphaltum 50 per cent, gums per cent
and drying oils 2 per cent, dissolved in
especially. prepared benzine and turpen-
tine. 1t contains no poisonous bi-
sulphide OF carbon or coal-tar products
commonly used in the manufacture of
asphalt paints or varnish. This Cali
| fornia product leaves an elastic, rubber
i like coating that will stand in any cli-
mate exposed to the weather for years
without renewal. In unexposed places
it will keep its high varnsh gloss. 1t is
not affected by alkalies or creo5ote from
Another feature is its rapid-drying quail
tiles and the rapidity with which it can
be painted onto the work. 1t makes an
even spread of itself, and consequently
it does not require an experienced paint
er to apply it. If painted on cheap
muslin or cloth it makes it waterproof,
and cloth treated in this way is much
used for tarpaulins, sheds and cloth
houses; in fact, it can be used in any
situation requiring water proof and
preserving coating. Porous bricks
painted with it have been placed under
water for months for experimental pur-
poses, and have not absorbed any moist
ure whatever, showing it to be just what
is wanted for coating foundations and
for use in underground easements, cis-
terms, etc. Altogether it 10 valuable
and useful discovery, and its manufact-
ure is destined to reach large proper
tions and bring many dollars into our
section from abroad.

cinto. The three first named, together
with R. H. Busch OF this city, have re-.
Gently acquired ownership of the asbes-
tos mines heretofore operated by the
John D. Hof Asbestos company of San
Diego, and propose organizing new
company to carry on the business.
Considerable work has already been
done on the property, the product of
which has been in the market for some
time in the shape of fire proof paints
and steam boiler and pipe covering, and
has proved a success. The manufacture
ing works are at present located in San
Diego, but will no doubt in time be
moved to this city and large business
built up. The mines are difficult of ac-
cess, about IL miles of the distance hav-
ing to be travelled by trail, but the
feasibility of putting the product on the
market at profit has been demon
strated.

THE RAISIN YIELD.
Figures Which Show the Quantities Sold
and Unsold.

and Unsold.
A special dispatch from Fresno to q
San Francisco paper says: Today Will
lam Harvey, secretary of the State
Raisin association, made public the
quantity OF the raisin products this year
in California, the quantity already sold
and the quantity still in California un-
sold. This was done to correct some in
correct data which have been widely
published and which would tend to in
jure the market by over-estimating the
quantity still unsold. The figures given
by Mr.. Harvey are as follows: Three
hundred carloads are in the east unsold,
500 carloads are in California unsold and
1000 carloads have been sold. This
makes the total production Of raisins in
California this year 1900 carloads.
The stock of raisins now on the east
ern markets is sufficient to supply the
demand for consumption for the next
six weeks. Packers agree that no fur
ther consignments of raisins are to be
made to the east until after the new
year. The better grades of raisins are
about all shipped out of the state
There are now no clusters of London
layers here to ship. This, together with
the large amount of raisin grapes which
this year have been sold green to winer.
les, and the shortage in the crop, will
tend to make good and active market
later. The crop, when all shipped, will
be found to be not over three-iourths oi
last years shipment.

Senator Fair and His Friends Go Down
the Colorado.
Ex'United States Senator James
G. Fair and party returned to
Hall Hanlon's Thursday from their
three weeks trip down the Colorado
river. Probably no party ever enjoyed
a pleasanter trip in traversing Yuma's
back country than the ex-senator and
bis associates, says the Yuma Sentinel.
Wild geege, ducks, curlew, snipe, wild
turkeys, sandhill, white and blue crane
and fish were found in great abundance
and captured at will. Senator Fair had
with him the double barrel shotgun
made by Greener that took the first
premium at the centennial at Philadel-
phia in 1875, which cost $1250. With
this In hand, as he is a splendid marks
man, woe was to the goose, crane or
duck that fell within his range.
Turtle that weighed from $50 to 300
pounds and jewish that would touch the
scales at 200 pounds were found in Har-
dies river 30 miles from its mouth.
Eleven deer were seen in one band Is
miles east of the old Diegueno Indian
camp, not 25 yards distant from the
party, but as is usually the case, no one
had even a pistol at hand, 80 the deer
simply laughed as they walked awav.
The party consisted OF ex-senator Fair,
Gen. G. Andrade, Capt. J. S. Angus,
Capt. George Eggelton OF San Ftacnsico ;
E. ]. Andrade, Capt. Stacy of the steam
er Electric; Col. D. X. Allen OF Yuma ;
Judge Francisco Lopez, Col. j. S. Carter
and Joaquin Mendez Of Algodones; w.
H. Hamilton, secretary OF the Colored
Mems Mexican Colony association; Ger
onimo Elisalda of Mt. Mejor and Yuma
Jim, the pilot. The parties from San
Francisco took the train at Pilot Knob
for that city Thursday afternoon, and
the balance OF the party returned to
Yuma.
