There is strong probability that the
colorado" sandstone quarry on the
Barnett ranch may be again shipper to
market. A representative Of the Ran
some Concrete company was here Tues
day and Wednesday and went out to the
ranch to have look over the condition
of things. He evidently found matters
satisfactory for he opened negotiations
to have 800 tons delivered to the railroad
here soon as possible. This is one of
the largest contracting firms on the
coast, and they have done great deal of
work in Sacramento, where they design
using the stone now. If they can make
favorable contract for the hauling no
doubt they will use large amount OF
this stone, Which will be a fine thing

The orange crop around Mokelumne
Hill is almost complete failure. The
direct cause is probably owing to the eX-
IRENE cold weather that prevailed in
this section while the fruit was ripen-
ing, coupled with the heavy fall of
snow. The oranges have nearly all
