sells. 10 SO per ton for coal for the same
purpose. Perhaps that estimate is too
low. We believe it is. But il it is only
equal to S5 or So, we shal. be satisfied.
Fuel assured to US at those figures will
mean tremendous things for Los Ange-
les. 1t will mean that our city will be-
come in a very short time manufsctur-
ing center OF immense possibilities. 1t
will mean that the ores from the numsr-
GUS districts in Southern California,
Nevads and this territory of Arizona will
all be reduced and treated in smelling
and separating works established in
this city.
1t is only . question of cheap fuel
which has sent hundreds of thousands
of tons of ore past our door to Denver
and Kansas City, and even to Newark,
N. j., to be treated in the great smelt-
ing and reduction works established at
those remote points. With cheap fuel
the best ores from all parts of the Pacific
coast would come to Los Angeles for
treatment, for we assume that cheap
fusl-which is now to be ours beyond
the peradventure of a dou bt-will in
evitably cause capital and experience to
build up here the best and most extern

WHAT OUR OIL WELLS MEAN TO US.

The development of oil in Los Angeles
goes on with such marked success that
we have passed the experimental stage.
and are becoming ssured of having
within the limits Of our city an mex
haustible supply of it, and of superior
quality. The great we'll that first gushed
forth it's mighty flow of olesgiuous treas
ure on Sunday morning is situated at
some distance from the place that WAS
before considered the center of the oil
region, and warrants us in the belief
that the limit of the belt is not yet
reached, indeed, that it may extend for
miles in other directions from the point
OF present interest.
There can hardly be any doubt that
we are entering upon new field of in
dustry in our city that will lead to mo-
mentous consequences. We already ex-
perience the good effects of this oil de-
velopment in the reduction Of the price
of coal. Prior to the opening of these
wells there was little or no competition
in fuel, and we have been forced to pay
fancy prices for coal. There is no reason
whatever why good coal could not bc
furnished this market for 81 and less per
ton. Coal is sold at the dumps in Puget
Sound and ia British Columbia at the
rate OF s1.50 per long ton. There should
be reasonable profit to the importer to
lay it down at our doors for an addi-
tional $5 per short ton, for it is never de-
livered to consumers here by the long
! ton.
We were assured by President Blake,
of the Nevada Southern, that when he
got his road finished to the mines in
Utah he would deliver coal in this city
at the rate of S. per ton, and he entered
into solemn asrsementto do 30. When
he practically carries out this agreement
it will be seen that coal will bs deiv-
cred here from the New Mexico mines
at the same figure. and the importers
who now bring it here by sea will accept
the situation and compete in prices
with the coal brought to this city bj
rail-
The competition has come sooner than
we expected, thanks to the oil didcoy-
cries in this city. 1t 10 estimated that
