MONTEREY, Mex, Aug. l, '95.
To the Daily LIGHT:
About five months ago Mr.. Rice
Price, OF Hutchinson, Kansas, pre-
sident Of the Monterey Foundry
and machine shops died, and last
week some Of the stockholders
made application to the court to
appoint a receiver, and on the Goth
the court appointed Mr.. Alfonso
de Tarname. The probabilities
are that the property will be put
up for sale and will be bought in
by the local stockholders. Those
shops have had orders ahead since
they were started four years ago.
The property is very valuable and
when offered for sale they will
bring a handsome price.
THE SWAN Is DEAD.
One Of the black swans that l
made mention of in my last letter
that We're put in the ola de aqua
died few days ago. Those two
swans were valued at $50 apiece.
EXCURSIONS TO THE MOUNTAINS.
Next Sunday the Monterey Min
eral Belt Railway company will
run excursion trains from the
Monterey and Mexican Gulf Rail-
way to the Dienti, (the tooth) in
the mountains south Of Monterey.
The Dienti is situated in the noun
tsins adjoining the San Pedro and
San Pablo mines and Is one Of the
most romantic places in this won
d1rland to hold picnics in, and es-
pecially in hot weather. 1t Is cool
and pleasant there, and there are
fine springs of sparkling water
that need no ice to cool them
rushing down the mountain sides.
