The Los Alamos, Ventura county (Cal. J
Central says that one ranch OF 1900
acres has produced ,O30 tons OF Lima
beans this year. 1t took 81 900 sacks
to hold the crop and they will fill about
103 cars, on the average of ten tons to
the car. This will make eight or nine
trains of beans. But this is only from
one ranch. The railroad company ex-
poets to handle 1,500 carloads of beans
on the Ventura division this year, which
at $22 per ton if shipped East, means
1884, 900 in their cash account.
A fire recently at Tombstone, A. T.,
completely destroyed the works of the
Contention mine and the adjoining

worked for about five years, though the
company has kept watchmen on the
premises day and night since the mine
was shut down. The loss to the com.
pany will probably exceed 100000,
which is only covered by a very small
insurance in San Francisco companies.
The mine was one of the best in that
vicinity, having paid dividends to the
amount of $4,000 in five years of its
operation. Tne owners of the mine are
California capitalists.
