A Well Known Mining Man at Deaths
Door-Notes.
Special Correspondence to the HERALD.l
MoNRovIA, February 20.
f. j. Carrere, prominent Democrat
and member of the Knights of Pythias
OF Virginia City, Nev., is lying at
deaths door with paralysis at the Patton
house, this city. He is a native OF
France and came to this country in 40,
and has ever since been prominently
connected with the mining interests OF
this state and Nevada. In the year '5l
he began the development of several
large mines in the upper San Gabriel
and did considerable placer mining
along these foothills.
About year ago his health became
impaired and, remembering the SUNNY
days down in the cactus fields of LoS
Angeles county," he Immediately came
to regain his health, but apparently too
late. He talks constantly about this
perfect climate and the wonderfat
changes that have taken place since the
year 1880, his last visit to this southern
country. a,t

Messrs. Neuer and son, who were re-
cent arrivals from Pennsylvania, have
completed the setting out OF their thirty
acre ranch, in this city, to oranges and
olives.
The Southern California Colonization
and Improvement company are doing
considerable good work for our town and
are erecting a great many sales. A
number OF eastern capitalists have been
SHOWN our many attractions, resources
and the inducements they offer and are
figuring on locating here.
The quietness existing among the
merchants here may reasonably be
expected at this time, yet they imbibe
the prevailing spirit and manifest de-
termination and ability to keep pace
with the general prosperity of the coun-
try. The activity which is generally the
precursor of this spring time, has not
materialized as yet, but as it is GER
ta1nty, there is little reason to believe
anything but dull season and summer.
1t is with pleasure that your corres-
pondent notes and reports the many
changes that have taken place in this
vicinity during the past two weeks and
to know OF the many improvements ON
all sides. Interviews with several of
the leading nurserymen and orchardists
demonstrate, by the large orders and in
quiries, that an enormous amount OF
both citrus and deciduous fruits will be
planted in this immediate vicinity dur
ing the coming month. The number Of
orcharos already planted and the
amount OF cereal which is about quarter
grown makes decidedly better show
ing than heretofore for this delightful
foothill country.
The Grand View hotel, under the able
management of Mr.. O'Brien is becoming
= most popular resort and is one of the
leading hotels of the county. The fol-
lowing arrivals are registered today A.
