across q fortune which the governor
knew nothing about. In his desk was a
central drawer like that in my business
desk. This was nearly full Of uncashed
checks, paid to the governor. as divi-
dends from the projects in which he was
interested. They were for large amounts
in many inetancee, and their total aggre-
gated hundreds of thousands of dollars
Many OF them ran back for years.
1.-The governor had entirely forgotten
them. 1t was his habit when receiving
such checks to open this drawer, put in
the checks, close the drawer, lock it,
and like as not leave the key in the
drawer. So the checks accumulated
from year to year, until their total
reached figure representing fortune
ior any man.
ITO give you an idea of the accumula-
tions in this drawer. we found letter
containing check for $137 sent to the
governor in 1869-16 wears before. 1t
was from man in Virginia City, and
the letter requested the governor 10 buy
him ticket for the east, the fare being
s13S in those daye.
That explains It'll exclaimed tho
governor. 'I've had letters from that
cha, asking about that money, but
Qiuh hhOW WaolO ~ Wacs Oeh w 6Op
trace of him?'
ave tried to find the man, but never
were able to, and L suppose he still
thinks the governor stole bis money.
"But with all this, Stanford was a
good business man for big things. He
didn't know how much he was worth.
Often ne asked me to tell him, but
codldn't do it. Nobody could. Still.
he always knew just about where he
stood and kept his affairs in such q con-
dition that money was easy with him.
OF course he knew just what bonds he
had-and they represented an enormous
sum-because IL was necessary to cut the
interest coupons. But he couldn't tell
lust what his manifold landed interests
were worth, and as for the great holdings
in companies directly connected with the
railroad, their values are practically i'm
possible to establish.
THE LOST TEN MILLIONS.
"Why, after the Crocker estate was
appraised it was necessary to make
supplemental appraisement because
something like 100000 900 of property
was found which the boys knew nothing
about. 1t is probably the same with the
Stanford estate, just as the clause in the
published inventory states-there are
securities which Mrs. Stanford does not
vet know about.
"As for the inventory published by
the Examiner, it certainly is incom-
plete. 1t looked to me at first as if you
had got hold Of few pages of it and
missed the rest, though l now know
that you had all the inventory that had
been prepared. This inventory doesn't
show any Southern Pacific bonds, for in
stance, yet Governor Stanford held
very large line Of all the iseues. These
bonds have been here all the time and
are here now. There are other proper
ties also which were not enumerated,
but l suppose they will be subsequently
inventoried."
"What was the largest check you ever
knew Governor Stanford to draw? ?"
The herald., 1893-10-10

"'Oh, s4OO, ,OOO' the governor would
say carele,sly.
Hopkins would look worried, but
he'd get the money in short order.
Then I'd take the check to the bank
and square things.
SOMETHING LIKE TWELVE MILLIONS.
1t is known that Senator Stanford at
the time of mis- death held interest in
many large bodies of land that were not
assessed in his name. One tract is
in Siekiyou county, this state, con-
eisting of $4,000 acres. It stands
in the name OF Il. II. Miller,
who died only short time ago. IN
Capay valley there is also large tract
in which the Stanford estate is entitled
to share. So with all the town sites
held in the name OF the late Charles
Crocker.
1t was the habit OF the gentlemen con-
nected with the Southern Pacific COM
pany and its concomitant corporations
to buy large interests that euited them
in their own names. After the title
was thus secured, the others would be
given an opportunity to take share of
the property if they cav fit 70 join in

the construction OF the road. They had
to have money. no matter what interest
they had to pay. Any one would be
glad to get the interest on 100000 at
per cent a month for year or two, let
alone the principal. Thirty-six per
cent a year means Sl,0S0,000 year.
But of couree all this was changed
once the road was well on its feet.
"What was the largest amount l

Well, / don't exactly remember. l

Gridley ranch, but Pm not altogether

the treasurer of the company. 1t was
his custom to let his dividends lie and
have them charged up to his credit.
Then some day the Bank of California
would send down notice. Your ac-
count is overdrawn $3.50, ,000'-or come

The Azusa Land and Water company
owns the Azusa ranch, which is most
beautifully situated. 23 miles from Los
Angeles. on the kite-shaped track OF the
| Santa Fs railroad.
The pretty and prosperous town OF
Azuss and the depot are located in the
most central part of this valuable piece
of land. Eight trains each way leave
the depot daily.
In the town are a national bank,
fine hotel, three churches, q public
school building coating $4,000, two
newspapers, three good grocery, three
dry goods and one hardware store and O.
general list of shops and callings; also,
ice works turning out Is tons daily.
Three streets have cement sidewalks
and curbings and two streeta are eew-
cred.
There are no better citrus, deciduous
or other fruit lands in Los Angeles
county than those of this company, and
none are better supplied with water Tor
irrigating purposes. The system Is
com mplete in every detail. This has been
built in most durable manner and no
expense has been saved to make the
water appliances as convenient as pos
slble. The land is being rapidly i'm
proved and thousands of fruit trees act
out annually. The orchards on this
land are noted for the large crops of ex-
cellent quality and flavor which they
yield. The compsny's lands offered for
sale are divided into tracts OF from 21s
to 40 acres each. with water already
piped on the lands, in the nsighborhood
OF which are some of the moat beautiful
ranch residences in Southern California.
From the depot are made annually the
largest shipments of fIuitc, vegetables
and other supplies of any station on the
road.
J. S. Slauson, the president Of the
company, is a thorough business man
and man who believes in improve
ments.

capacity contains water OF that super
ciai extent, with an average depth OF 10
feet.
The contract price OF the embankment
alone was $13l 900. This reservoir, 1t is
believed by the writer, is the largest
impounding reservoir in the United
States.
From the reservoir water is supplied
to the lands lying along the South
ern Pacific railroad by canal 20 feet in
width at the bottom, with banks sloping
two feet to one.
The reservoir has been in use two
years, and its success has been demon
strated. 1t affords now an absolute and
certain water supply for 10000 acres of
land, and to that extent increasing the
supply of water afforded by the average
flow Of the river. The extent of land
that may be supplied will increase as
the lands become saturated by continu-
GUS irrigation.
The company has now in progress a
scheme OF reorganization to increase its
capital ard enlarge its works. The pre-
liminary surveys, maps, filings and To-
cations required by the recent act of
congress have been made by it to ac-
quire the right to construct an impound-
ing dam in the Gila river, at the point
locally known as the Buttes.
At this point the course of the river is
for 1000 or 1900 feet through q narrow
caf1oh with almost perpendicular walls
of solid rock, across which the company
proposes to construct its dam. Above
this point the valley broadens and af-
fords immense storage capacity. The
river has an average iall of seven feet per
mile above this point. 30 that each
seven feet OF height of dam will set
back the water mile. the height Of
the proposed dam will be about 200 feet.
With the completion of this dam the
supply of water for sn immensely in
creased body of land will be assured.
Prior to the construction of the Flor
ence canal such of the lands in the val
lev that were in cultivation obtained
water by means Of numerous small
bitches which we're generally wasteful of
water, expensive in construction and
maintenance, and were unreliable, being
subject to injury by slight rises OF water
in the river. Most of those who form
erly thus obtained their supply now get
it from the Florence canal.
Surveys are now in progress by COM
pany that contemplates the construction
OF q reservoir on the river and the diver
sion of water by canals, one on each side
of the river. This enterprise is mainly
backed by Bowen and Ferry, the Detroit
capitalists, and may mean much for
the agricultural development of Pinal
county.
There are on the Gila, above Florence
and below Riverside, three or four
small ditchss, supplying water for 1900
or 1900 acres of land.
On the San Pedro there are 10 or IL
private bitches, supplying water to
about 5000 acres of land.
The Pima and Maricopa Indians divert
considerable water for the purposs of ir-
rigation. Their works for that purpose.

For the frat 25 or 80 miles of its
course, that is from the river to the
reservoir, the canal is % feet wide at

is two feet to the mile, and Its carrying
capacity is 20, GOO miners inches, or ex-
