oats and other cereals, potatoes. fruits
of every variety. and grapes equal to
the best in California or Italy. The
climate is almost perfection. being a
happy medium between the long.
bleak winters of the north. and the al
most perpetual summer Of the extreme
south. The elevation above the sea is
about 1000 feet. assuring perfect COM

thing as sunstroke or prOstration never

The property was profitably worked
for several years after the discovery Of
copper, and large amounts of the metal
marketed in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia. at a time when the ore had to
be hauled by wagons from $50 to 300
miles to a railroad. and only discon-
tinued when the surface ore had been
marketed; mining and Il plant to work
the ore on the ground. became neces-

equivalent of nearly LOCO ordinary
mines or mining claims. The highest
expert and engineering authorities pro
