claimed no better water can be had in
the country. The engine at the present
| time is pumping at least 120 miners
inches.

dark sandy loan, absolutely free from

are especially adapted to intensive
farming, and the whole surrounding

cultivation and has been so for many
years: such crops as berries and vege-
tables for the early markets. Lemons
