ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $1O
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land i'll the heart Of Tehana County, for the
p@rpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
30, so, 12O, l60 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions. as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecally adapted for fruit growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
S1OO an acre an examination OF the l6nd
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
home-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tle1nent in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

monthly meeting at the Board OF Super

Gus bills were audited and the usual
routine business was disposed of
The principal topic Of discussion. how
ever, was the position to be taken by the
association with reference to the resump-
ton of hydraulic mining under the Cam
inetti bill.
Mr. Devlin, attorney for the association,
stated that he had appeared before the
Debris Commission at its several sessions
and had engaged Messrs. Streidenger and
Won Geldern, civil engineers, to pass
upon the sufficiency OF the restraining
works proposed to be erected by the
miners applying for permission to mine.

obtained by the petitioners, or an excess
of about l27, 900 cubic yards.
These 33S, $50 cubic yards of detritus will
cover the Is acres of the settling basin at
least feet, for impounded debris will as
sumo nearly level surface, in proof of
which we beg leave to recite the petition
erS' own words:
1.-THE present water area is 25.9 acres,
with a water shed of l53 acres-the area of
the old diggings. The water spreads
over this area in a thin sheet, being thir-
teen inches deep at the waterway, and
extending southeasterly l 600 feet"
We therefore claim that the proposed
impounding dams are too low, too weak
and too steep.
Furthermore, the matter of the waste
ways is ambiguous. and the design of the
waste-weir imperfect.
The perishable character of wood and
brush, largely employed in the construc-
ton of the old barrier, does not insure
permanency of the structure, and it is an
Objectionable feature to use the old dam
so constructed as a foundation for the
new.
Stability under these conditions is not
assured. Very respectfully,

Says Hampshire Correspondents Worthy
of Notice.

Says n Hampshire Correspondent Worthy
of Notice.
HAMPSHIRE COUNTY, w. VA, Jan. 10.
TO ne Editor Of the RGei3,,r:
Will you permit me through the col
umns Of your paper to say few words
to the legislators of this State relative
to a public or State institution, located
near the town of Romney, in this coun-
ty, known as the State Fishery. Hav-
ing had an occasion to pass by said fish
cry some time ago, / was led TO make a
casual examination OF the same. This
caused me to make further inquiry con-
corning 1t, which was attended by the
following results:
The fishery Is located about one mile
west of Romney, near the bank OF the
South Branch. 1t consists Of about
three quarters of an acre Of ground
enclosed by a palisade, in which are
two ponds, which at that time were
both dry, small dwelling house, and
a tank or box resembling a vat, about
Is feet long by 6 feet wide, which con-
tanned all the fish there was in the
hatchery" On examination saw one
carp about twelve or fifteen inches
long. and q few small ones averaging
about four inches in length.
l inquired OF Mr.. Barnes little boy,
who keeps the hatchery, how many fish
was in the tank, aud he said about
forty.
since heard that Mr.. Barnes said
there was about three or four hundred
in the hatchery.
From my inquiries and investigation
OF the subject, have learned that there
are a few good sized carp in the South
Branch, but Notwithstanding the hatch
cry is located on the bank OF the river,
where ii has been for years and which
is one OF the best fish streams In the
State, there are not more than q dozen
carp caught any one year, and the worst
feature Of it is they are a class of fish
that are no account for food purposes
when caught, from the fact that they
feed entirely in the mud This inves-
tigation should certainly prove that the
State fishery, so far as this Con gression-
al district is concerned, is failure, and
that no more appropriations should be
made for it.
We do not ask the Legislature to take
one mans say so for it, but challenge
investigation, and call on the local pa
perS of Hampshire county for the truth
Of the statement.
Let the people be relieved of this bur-
den of direct taxation and the State
Fishery abolished. A TAXPAYER.

There is a cotton serge that is novel,
