The brightness of the past Thanksgiving

Sunshine AMI gialnesS, just in the dawn
of womanhood, our dear Ruth has rent
within our little circle a wide and lasting
vacancy. Though the victim of IA fierce
and tedious fever her death was uneXpect-

strength and vigor and so short "a time has
elapsed since she was in our midst the
brightest there. In the freshness of her
youthful innocence she was unknown to
sorrow and care, until suddenly cast into
an abyss of utter desolation, by the death
of devoted and favorite brother which
occurred September, 18th 1894, followed
by and partly causing that of her mother
October 18th. Our late companion though
the Youngest of the household, fought
bravely for the comfort and cheer of the
family, but her days were numbered and
her sorrow short lived for the germs of

Citrogrsph: That usually up-to-date,
the California Fruit Grower, has this
to say:
Marketing oranges in bulk, without
the expense of packing in boxes has
been advocated by some growers in the
southern part of the state. but we have
yet to hear of the man who has the
courage of his convictions sufficiently to
try it. There is little use in writing
verbosely on this question. 1t is purely
a matter of fact which can be demon
strated only by trial. 1t would be very
easy for any grower who has imbibed
the notion that unboxed oranges would
sell we'll in eastern markets, TO dump
his fruit into a car and send it along.
The returns would soon settle the
question for him, and while present and
past conditions do not justify, in our
opinion, the risk taken, yet it is an ex-
pertinent easily tried. We hope some
one will put the matter to a practical
test during the marketing of the present
crop. so that we may know what prob
able advantage lies in bulk shipments.
if any. A number OF shippers might
join in a few carcoads in such a way
that if losses were made the burden
would not be heavy one for each.
The experiment has already been
made. The Cook & Langley company
has fitted up a car and made q trial
shipment. In common with many
growers, the Citrograph hopes the ex-
pertinent will be a SUCCESS, and believes
it will. 1t will save many thousands o.
dollars to the growers OF South Cali

CARLSON'S CONCESSION.
NO CASH SUBSIDY GIVEN BY THE
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.
Land for Colonization Purposes Twenty
Miles Wide Along Entire Right
of-Way secured-Brsnches
to Be Constructed.

San Diego Union: The terms of the
concession received by President Carl
son OF the San Diego aud Ph@nix rail-
road from the Mexican government have
been made public. Contrary to general
understanding, no cash subsidy is given
by Mexico for the construction of the
road, but the provisions of the contract
are otherwise very liberal. The time of
the concession is 80 years, and the one
contract covers both the line from Tia
Juana to Yuma and branch from Tia
Junaa to Enssnada. The right OF way is
given for the entire length of each line,
20 meters (sbout 230 feet) in width
through public lands, with permission
to use all materials on the ground to
build or repair the road. All deposits
of coal found on the line are to become
the property of the company. The right
to construct telegraph line is granted.
Eight wears are allowed for the com-
pletion OF the work, and six months Tor
the beginning of the preliminary survey.
All work must have the approval OF the
secretary Of public works. The mode of
condemning private land through the
employ ment of expert appraisers is set
forth, and the regulation OF customs, in
spection, charges, etc, are detailed at
length. Express exemption for Is years
from all classes of import duties is given
for the importation of material, supplies,
etc., for the road, and the road is de-
clared free from all taxation of whatever
character, excepting the stamp tax for
80 years.
A certified copy of the concession was
received by Mayor Carlson yesterday.
He said: II am daily expecting to re-
ceive copy OF the contract entered into
between myself and M. Fernandez Leal,
secretary of public works, whereby l am
granted land for colonization purposes.
| The land comprises strip of 10 miles
on each side OF the railroad right-of-way,
for the entire length. There must be
1000 families settled upon this land
within eight years. With the construc-
tion of the railroad l do not spprehend
the least difficulty in colonizing the
country. 1t is rich and varied country,
as all know, and awaits only railroad
to become developed.

Eneenads," said Mr.. Carlson, lis oi

referred to it, preferring to keep the
attention Of the people strictly to the
point at issue-the construction OF road
from San Diego to thu east. The Mexi
can government, however, deemed it nc
more than right that the capital OF the
northern half of the territory should bt
reached by the road, and found it easie
to obtain the double concession than tina

border OF the peninsula.

Lemons Sold Through the Exchange at
q Big Price.
Ontario Observer: AS the Lemon
Growers exchange was incubated by
the Observer, this journal may be
excused for felicitating over the con-
spicuous success the exchange has ex-
perienced in giving the lemons Of this
locality an honorable place in the
trade and in placing them upon the
eastern markets at profitable prices.
Though the exchange has been in
operation less than month, it is fast
opening sesame for the Ontario lemon
to the markets of the country.
Up to date three carloads have been
shipped to Chic ago, and so favorable
was the impression that they made,
that the largest fruit firm in Chicago is
anxious to handle the entire output OF
the union. This firm handles the major
portion OF the Sicily lemons distributed
in the Mississippi valley, and offers to
abandon the sale of the Sicily product,
and recommend to the trade the Ontario
lemon, provided it be made exclusive
agent OF the exchange.
With such an introduction to the trade
our lemons are absolutely certain II q
good market.
The Observer has never wavered in its
confidence 10 the Ontario lemon and re-
joices that it hs.s received SO favorable
q recognition.
Our lemon has merit, and to sell a
thing of merit it is only necessary to
intelligently place it before the trade.
1t was to accomplish this that the OBJ
server urged the organization OF the
exchange. That the lemons are being
intelligently graded and marketed the

are the largest figures at which car.

in the east at this season of the year.
The markets OF the east are com
paratiyely bare of good lemons, and
in consequence, the demand is excep-
tionally brisk, but, with summer fast
approaching. it is not likely that prices
will materially decline for many months
The lemon crops of Ontario ana Cuca

Winchester Recorder: Old prospec-
tors think that many oil the foothills
and ridges near the valley are great
storehouses OF mineral wealth. AT va
rioua locations they have seen evidences
of this, but the difficulty has been to
get capitalists interested in the devel-
opment OF the mines already filed upon.
For a number of years L. M. Wilson,
who has spent the best part of has life
in prospecting, has owned the Snow
Bird gold mine, mile and hall north
vest of this place. Little has been done
to it, however, until recently. when a
number OF capitalists from Hastings,
Neb., became interested in it, and also
in the Eagle Bird and Humming Bird
mines, lying along the line OF the gold

The Fraser mine is located in that

Stebbins & Porter, who are experts in

some discoveries .,hich promise to revo-
lutionize metallurgy. The process has
only been tried on small scale as yet,
but the results are remarkable. The
ore is first crushed and then given

Mr.. Porter has discovered. The liquor
then runs through q series of vats and
the gold is precipitated in one, the sill
