CALIFORNIA SWEET WINES.

The growth of the California sweet-wine
industry has been remarkable during the
two last years. By this, of course, is meant
fortified wines. Last years output was
1854, 1873 gallons, and, although only an
estimate of this years production can be
made at present, the internal revenue
officers, who are in the position to know,
predict that it will easily reach 1900, 900
gallons. Two causes have contributed to
this. One is the benefit of the law releas-
ing from an internal revenue tax spirits
distilled in the winery for fertilization uses,
and the other is the rapidly increasing de-
mand in the Eastern States.
Although the fortified wines-port,
sherry, angelica and muscat-are not table
wines, and hence can never be advanced to
so high consumption. they have very ex-
tended uses peculiar to them. As those
made in California are the honest product
of the grape, even including the brandy
which.is used to fortify them, they are the
purest and most wholesome sweet wines
consumed in the United States, and for all
the purposes to which sweet wines may be
put are immeasurably superior to any i'm
ported articles of their class. Hence, as
tonics, they are the very best that can be
employed.
The manufacture of sweet wines is
comparatively easy matter. Little of that
infinite care in blending required in the
making of light wines of the highest class
is required, largely for the reason that as
in the process of making them fermenta-
ton is arrested by the addition of brandy,

THE sILURIAN OBJECTS.

The committee of South Side property
owners appointed to interview holders of
lots along Folsom street on the subject OF
paving that thoroughfare from the water
front to the southerly City limits has an
nounced an old but always interesting
fact-that it is only large property
on the street who object to the improve
ment. All the small owners and the rail-
way company are willing. The silurian's
claws are fastened on Folsom street, as
upon every other important thoroughfare
in the City. The silurian is the rich prop
erty-owner who objects to the improve
ment, advancement and prosperity of the
City.
In spite of those who are opposing the
paving of Folsom street the work will be
done, if the City authorities come to the
assistance of the property-owners. 1t will
not be the influence of silurians that will
defeat the project if it is defeated at all.
This obstructionist is content to own in
ferior houses facing ill-paved streets, and
would rather have small income from
his property and be sure of that than
make an investment which will greatly
improve the value and income Of his
holdings.
The proceedings in the Folsom-street
matter will likely bring to public light the
names of the silurians who own property
on that street The list should make very
interesting reading, and the manner in
which it is handled may be made warn
ing to others of their Tx in various parts of
the City. The miserable shanties which
still disgrace Market street are a procla-
nation of the silurianism of their owners,
but pressure which they cannot resist is
bearing more and more heavily upon them
every day. 1t is no wonder that our saw
Jugs and commercial banks are filled with
money when rich owners of shantles on
great thoroughfares can find no other use
for their revenues.

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS.

An interesting steamer is just about to be
started on some lakes few miles distant from
Copenhagen, the peculiar feature being that
the steamer has to make a short journey over
land, the two lakes being divided by strip of
land. Across this railway has been con-
structed, crossing high road, which necessi-
tates a gradient on both sides of 1.50, the
metals being ordinary rails. At the two ends
the rails have been carried into and under the
water on a wooden structure. By means of
piles the steamer is guided on to the rails,
which correspond in position with two wheels
fixed ON each side of the steamer. The steamer
goes then on to the rails at full "speed'' and
travels up the rails on the one side and down
the incline on the other into the water, where
the propeller again takes over its function.
The engine is comparatively powerful, and in
addition to the usual propeller shaft there is
another shaft which by means of a chain
works the wheels with which the steamer
crosses the rails. The boat also has powerful
brake to moderate its speed down the incline.
The steamer is A feet long, capable of holding
seventy passengers, and the engine indicates
27 horsepower. All the trials have passed off
perfectly and satisfactorily.

A MINING BOOM.

If full credit may be given to the report
from San Bernardino that company with
paid-up capital of 100000 has been or
gained to work certain mines of the Yuma
Desert the mining industry OF California
will receive tremendous boom. The news
is that the capital comes entirely from
England and the Eastern States, and that
the company has secured the San Ber-
nardino mine, the Two Gilberts, the
Ellerby, Going, Sophia, Pinther, Price and
others in the vicinity of Twenty
Palms, and that it is ready to purchase and
develop other promising properties. The
manager is DIR. ]. C. G. Price.
If the known opportunities for digging
wealth out of the ground in that region are
a safe guide in determining the truth
of the news there can be no doubt of its
reliability. Many of the gold and silver
deposits in that section have been long
known to be surprisingly rich, but
the great obstacle to their develop
ment has been the absence of water and
fuel. These properties have suffered under
the identical conditions which have pro-
hibited the agricultural development of
the desert regions of California and Ari-
iona in the vicinity of the Colorado River,
and yet these millions of arid and barren
acres could be made into garden of sur
passing bounty by the application of
water. 1t has always been merely a matt
ter of turning the waters of the Colorado
and its tributaries upon the desert, but as
that would be an undertaking requiring
great capital it has never been inaugurated.
The advent of rich mining company
seems to promise beginning toward the
solution of great problems. About the
mines in the desert settlements must
spring and they must be supplied with
water. The mining company must have
water, and so the wedge enters. The in
formation at hand is not sufficiently explicit
to warrant extended speculation, but ap-
parently promise of wondrous things is
given

and the wines retain the bulk of their fruity
and aromatic essences, the more dainty
and elusive qualities of fully fermented
wines are overpowered and rendered un-
necessary. The idea of fortified wine
is that of rich, wholesome, sweet beyer-
age, possessing about half the intoxicating
strength of whisky and about twice tina.
of claret, and useful only when taken in
small quantities as tonic or relish. 1t
is an article far more easily introduced
than fine light wines, as less education is
required for an appreciation of its excel
lencies.
Physicians who prescribe tonics of this
order have all LEARNED in this part of the
country that the California sweet wines are
incomparably superior to all others, and
this gives hint as to the kind of mission
airy work that might be done in the East
ern States to secure the wider popularity
of our products. The people of the East
have hardly as yet walked to the fact that
these wines are SO good and healthful.
Tie degraded articles which are imported
from Europe have kept back popularity
which wholesome sweet wines are entitled
to enjoy. Now that makers of light wines
in California are again earning a comfort
able profit on their products that branch
OF the wine industry is made secure, but
that does not prevent far greater extern
sion of the output of sweet wines and the
education of market to the fact of the
excellence,
