CAHUENGA VALLEY.

The Lemon Groves Have a Prosperous
Outlook.
CAHUENGA, Jan. 9.-The late spell of
unusually cold weather has left it's trace
in frost-bitten vegetation in many
places, but along the foothills OF this
valley, known as the 'frostless belt,"
ascsrtained, has been done. The new,
tender, purple growth OF the young
lemon trees is about as sensitive to cold
as anything, and these in this region
have been watched with peculiar anx-
iety to see what effect the extreme cold
would have upon them.
People have been more observant of
these than usual, for the reason that a
large number of orchards of the lemon
were planted in this valley last year.
Several, certainly, and perhaps all OF
them have been examined in reference
to this matter, and not q trace of injury
from frost has been found. The large
trees, of course, would not be likely to
suffer damage, but it was concerning the
small, exposed trees, with shoots near
the ground. that solicitude was felt; but
all anxiety on that head is now pact, and
every condition in this highly favored
production of the lemon.
The yield In the orchards that have
commenced bearing is most remarkable,
and the trees begin to bear frui. the
very second year after planting. Owing
% the popularity of the climate the
iemon tree besrs fruit here all the year
round, and the fruit is gathered every
month in the year. The quality OF the
lemon produced in this valley is pro-
nounced, in the eastern markets, to be
far superior to the imported article, and
the raising OF lemons promises to be

GRASS VALLEY, CAL, Jan. 9.--ToniRht
the hoisting works of the Idaho- Mary
land mines were burned and totally de-
stroyed. Eighty men were in the mine,
2000 fest under ground, and'the towns-
people became panicstricken, when it
looked for time as if their escape would
be cut off. Finally three or
four brave men went down the
air shaft and warned the miners
below that the hosting works we're ON
fire. The miners climbed up perpen-
dicular ladders from below, and all
escaped in safety. The fire originated
in the dry house, next to the hoisting
works. The loss is 100000. 1t is re-
ported that two men who ventured
down the pump shaft to warnthe miners
have not been heard from.

SAN Francisco. Jan. 9.-The following
additional news was brought by the
steamer Warriinoo, which arrived at
Victoria last night from Honolulu. On
the evening Of December 10th Attorney
General Smith visited Minister Willis.
During the interview Willis said !:
"Whatl Are you to resist the wishes of
the United States? Either OF these
Japanese or British ships could crush
you. II they assumed hostile atti-
tude, you'd would be'compelled to ap-
ply for our protection"
Smith intimated that his government
could wait for q Republican administrs-
tion to grant annexation. Willis de-
clared the Democratic party was assured
of 20 years of power, and that the will
of President Cleveland would prevail.

thought by the royalists and
.tional guvemment people alike
that the revenue cutter had brought in
structions from cleveland to that effect.
They felt sure that their long period of
waiting would now be, broken by some
thing decisive, but for five days Willis
made no sign.
Il Ia a fact they were ready the morn
ing of the 10th to land. All the officers
had been called on board the ships;
arms and ammunition were ready, and
the great guna were trained on the
palace. Willis will say nothing
about this. but the officers on
board the Philadelphia and Adame
and the British gunboat Champion are

it. Admiral Irwin was asked about this
subsequently, when Cleveland's special
message on the Neutrality-suspicious. came,
and he said: "Ah, we had men ready,
not to attack the provisional govern
ment, but to protect citizens in case OF
riotinr."
Csptsin Rock of the Champion the
night before, it is said, had told some
ladies at party that the American,
British and Japanese marines were
to be- landed next day and re-
store tshe queen. The same night
the Wotld correspondent met Hatch,
vice -president Of the provisional govern
ment, in Emma square, where the band
was playing. Hatch said there was an
understanding between himself and his
associates that marines were to be
landed in Ahe morning and the provi-
sicnal government was ready. But
Willis evidently changed his mind. On
the morning of the 18th he sent Consul
General Mills wo the palace and informed
the govsrnmeipt that he would like to
call upon them at that building with q
communication of Importance. Dole and
the cabinet said they would be glad
to receive Willis, and the time was set
at 80 In the ate rnoon. Willis arrived
at the appointed time. He came alone

Fort Lowell. Arizona. is at present one o
the most desolate spots on the earth's
surface. without exception. The hot
desert wind bowls around the corners OF
deserted adobe buildings and whistles
through the naked branches of dead trees.
No sign of life is visible. and the sun shines
with binding glare on a Quiverlng sur
face of white sand and mud walls.
1t does not seem as if anybody could ever
have lived In the place. and yet at one time
il was the busiest and mOstlmpOrtant mill
tary post in Arizona.
Fort Lowell was established bv the
United States Government in 1873, and
intended to protect the city of Tucson from
the Apaches. 1t is located about six miles
east of the town and eight miles from
Mount Lemon, the highest peak of the
Santa Catalina Mountains. Within mile
of the fort the foothills commence to rise
from the barren and rocky desert.
This point was selected for various
reasons the principal ones being that it
was close to the R-llijo River and between
Sabine Canyon, the Indian stronghold,
and the city of Tucson. These reasons
were coed ones in their way, but as far as
the comfort Of the men went the selection
left a great deal to be desired. Every
building on the post is below the level of
the surrounding plain, and the mountain
range on the east causes the wind to whirl

Der. although everything possible was
done TO make life bearable.
AT first the fort was nothing more than
city of tents, but in 1879 the Government
put up substantial adobe buildings, and
an irrigation system was built. An ice
making plant of the most improved pat
tern was constructed and everything pos
sible done that would add to the comfort
of the officers and soldiers stationed there.
Trees were planted and gardens laid out,
and in less than two years the place was a
mass of vegetation with the exception Of
the parade ground. The officers houses
were built for the climate and contain ed
all modern eOnyeniences. The improve
nents cost the United States somewhere
in the neighborbO0d of Sl45, 600.
From this time on for sixteen years Fort
Lowell was a scene of life, activity and
brilliancy in spite of tie formidable eli
mate. The officers brought out their
wives and families, and the place became
the social center of the county.
There was plenty of work to be done,
and on many occasions the fort was in a
state of siege. Indians climbed over the
foothills and fret into the fort, and way
laid and killed officers and men when out
on expeditions. Every few months there
was some fighting TO be done. and at such
times the ladies at the fort had to keep out
OF sight. Nearly every party that went

the revolution have not been forgotten,
for there are twelve Steubens and Steu-

Of Americans and reciprocated the adnira-
ton of Americans of his day. He reaped
his reward. for there are twenty-four
places in the United States that bear his
name either by itself or as a prefix. Next
in order comes Bismarck. whose name Is
born by eighteen cities and towns. Bis

washed out they soon died. and now only

together like the bones of a skeleton and

The officers houses are almost IN as

doned. except that most of the windows
have been broken. There are seven houses
in all, four of them being built with a
large hall in the center. A wide veranda
extends around the outside of each. and
the windbreaks of Ochotea cactus are still

hollow echoes. But listen, and there is
