government has been defrauded of good deal
of money in this way. All that has been
stopped now, and before any of the surveying
bills are audited l must report on the condi-
ton OF the work. II l find only some mistakes,
or evidences that the deputy surveyor meant
to be conscientious in his work, then there is
plain sailing.
rfr.ve him 60 over the line, again and plsoo
the corners accurately and then l report the
work al right Ihave come down from Bake s.
field and will soon go to San Bernardino to
examine some work done by Deputy-Surveyo or
John G. Rice about year ago.
There is very little surveying work to be
done yet in this state-much less than in the
other western states. 1t is all mountain work
now, yet that's not nearly as difficult here as
in Oregon Washington and Idaho. The noun
tains are less precipitous here, and the vegeta-
ton upon them not so profuse. We are rapidly
closing up the work in this state, and in a very
short time there will be no unsurveyed land
here and no free government land either In
1Oyears, think, there will be no more govern
ment land in the United States.
"Anaheims new electric plant is nearly
ready to put up now" says I. c. Sumner, an
electrician of this city, who has just returned
from Anaheim. "That is most iourishing
little little town." he says, with surplus OF
$4,000 in the treasury and municipal water
works that is bringing in fair dividend to the
taxpayers. And now they are going to own
their own electric light plant. There will be
a 50-horse power engine, with a boiler OF equal
capacity, and a 80 Ailo Watt alternating dyna-
mo. With this power the city will be furnished
with IL big arc lights, IL commercial arc
lights, and 100 incandescent lights TO be USED
in stores aud residences.
