A sa.ooO.Ooo Ranch In California the
site Chosen.

JIG. Gilmore. agent OF the syndicate
OF English capitalists who have been
negotiating for the purchase OF the
Chino ranch In southern California
and G. wildlng. a prominent chartered
accountant OF London. arrived from
the southern pant ~ the state the other
day with Wendell sasion and George
Easton. who had been showing the two
visitors all over the Chino ranch says
the san Francisco Chronicle.
"The deal is about closed" said Mr.
EastOn. THE owners OF the property
have agreed to sell and the English
syndicate has agreed to buy. Now all
that remains to be- done Is for the ac-
countant to verify the figures OF the
chartered accountant whom We en-
ployed to make report ON the prop
erty. The terms OF the sale have been
agreed upon and the purchase price
will be about $1,000. 600. The original
terms agreed upon provided that one
fourth OF the purchase price be paid
cash down. and the balance In one two
and three years. The syndicate Is
anxious. however. to pay the entire
amount right away. and according TO
present plans the entire 100000 will
be turned over before the 3ist Of De-
cember.
The Chino ranch Is owned by Rich
ard Grid, but c. II. Philips has a bond
OF purchase on the property which will
have to be satisfied In the settlement
The San Francisco Savings union also
has mortgage OF half million dol
lars on the property. The Chino ranch
contains about 10000 acres. and Is
situated In Chino valley. In southern
California Some 1000 acres OF the
property are devoted to beet culture
and supply the big Chino beet factory
with nearly all the sugar beets con-
sumed there. The sugar works are
excluded from the improvement

more said that the syndicate which h,
represented would form corporation
for the handling OF the property, The
idea is to place the property under the
management Of an English superln

families and work the land. Il have
estimated that the ranch would sup
