TERMINAL ISLAND.

TERMINAL ISLAND, Sept. 29.-The splen-
did aftesian wells, the largest In the
county, developed by General Bouton at
his place on the Csrritcs ranch, have
been sold to gentleman in st. Louis
who is largely interested not only in the
Terminal but Ia several other railroads
that are seeking an outlet on the Pacific
at San Pedro.
The first week in January, 1895. the
work of laying pipe from the wells to
this place will begin, and it is the pres
ent intention OF the company to extend
the pipe right into the city OF San Pedro.
As it ia O settled thing that the Salt
Lake end of the Terminal will be puehed
through as rapidly as circumstances will
permit, we may look for some surprising
developments to take place at this ISL

letting in the Missouri Pacific and the
Rio Grande Western, and the Santa Fe

busy people down this way before long,
and the island is destined to be the site
of great maritime city.

was taken off last Monday, but this does

it all, but it seems strange that come OF

gled goods have not been nippsd long
ago.
