Rumored Effects Of the Railroad Construction
in Orange County
SANTA ANA, June l7.-There is al
ways some one ready to be scared as soon
as any railroad 1umor is started. Since
the report that new road would be built
from Anaheim to Long Beach through
Garden Grove and Westminster, it has
been propnesied that the center of trade
would be in Anahiem and the bottom
would fall out of Santa Ana, and the
county seat go to Anaheim. Santa Ana
is improving faster than all other towns
in the county put together, with brighter
prospects before her than any town in
Southern California, ana the climate is
equal to the very best. The diversified
crops OF this valley can't be oqua ed by
any country in the world.
L. S. Gerlng of Pomona has been in
this valley looking over the fruit pros.
poets OF this county. While at Ell Toro
he CONTRACTED for the drying of the prune
crop OF Mr.. b. ?. Hoyle of that place.
Mr. Hoyle has ninety acres of bearing
prunes, and Mr. Gerling estimated the
crop at 600 tons OF green prunes, all
grown without irrigation. This is the
largest prune orchard south OF Santa
Clara valley and Mr.. Hoyle has a number
OF acres not yet bearing.

AMERICAN EXPLORATION 90.
A recent dispatch says:


There is no doubt that AN exploration
company will soon be formed IN New
York. Senator Jones is deeply interested
In the project, and d. o. Mills and John
w. Mackay have money in IL. All the
money needed TO carry on work in the
United States similar TO that which the
Rothschilds are backing in Africa can be
had in New York in short time.
The Boise Statesman of Tuesday
comments correctly on the above in
the light OF the benefit it will be in
bringing new mining sections before
the world, but it seems to be Of the
impression that it is the first organi-
cation in this country. The new
company may bring in some new
methods but it will not be the first in
the field. There has been for some
time and is now in existence the
american Exploration Company"
with Leonidas Merritt, of Duluth, as
president and G. S. Christopher as
secretary, and has in it many promi-
nent men Of solid finances. Some re-
markable work has been done by

nal states that the opening of the
Mesaba Iron Range practically ruined
every other iron producer in the
world. So immense were the fields
and, through the skillful operations
of the Merritts, the product could be
landed in the market so cheap that a
giant stood forth that crushed all
competition.
Our faith ls now pinned to those
men. They came last summer to
Idaho and looked at the Seven Devils.

their sound judgement, they pro-

can no doubt repeat. The dull times
may cause things to go slow, but we
have faith in the Merritts.
