ON THE SAN JOAQUIN RANCHO.
A HERALD representative enjoyed
drive over to the San Joaquin ranch this
morning, and was we'll repaid, for the
trip was pleasant one. Thirty thou
sand acre fields of barley cannot be seen
in every county, and nowhere does ID
look better than here. The crop will be
the largest ever harvested here, and to
store it away another large warehouse
50x300 feet is being erected.
Fifteen men are at work digging the
ditch which is to carry the water from
the Santiago creek to irrigate this large
farm. The work, when completed, will
cost upwards Of $4000 900, and will fur
nish water supply sufficient to irrigate
$4,000 acres OF land.
Operations are soon to be recon-
menced on the Red Hill quicksilver
mine on this ranch, and six miles east
of Santa Ana. 1t is believed that this
mine will prove very paving one, and
in short time large output of quick
silver will be noted
Speaking of the mine brings to mind |
the fact that the mining interests OF
Orange county never looked more favor
able than at the present time. Up at |
Fullerton, in the oil regions, activity is |
the order OF the day. Mere, as a matter
Of fact, are some excellent oil wells. |
The Boteford Oil company is sinking a
$4,000 oil we'll, and the prospects for a 1
good flow of superior oil are very fat
tering
In the Santiago caflon not less than
80 men are employed in the coal and
gslena mines, and the place presents /
something Of its old time appearance,
when mining camps were 60 numerous.
The Santiago Goal Mining company has
in their employ 25 men, and are digging
out some really excellent fuel now. AS
depth is reached the quality of the
coal improves. and Mr.. Yoch. one of
the principal owners, informed Herald
representative the other day that he be-
lieved the mines would yet prove a
bonanza.
A trip up the Santiago Canon is a
pleasant one at any season of the wear.
but Just now it is particularly pleasant.
The Santiago creek, limpid stream,
courses down the marrow cafYon in
series of whispering cascades and water
falls. Tall alders interlace their branches
over it, the sunshine stealing shyly
through the verdant lattice. giving =
sparkle to the flowing stream and trans-
into showers of diamonds the
falling spray. As one, drives mp the
gorge the rocks, the grass-grown earth.
the mosSeB, henodding ferns, the sIders
aud the tangled vines, the bebbling
brook and dripping springs form them.
