rupa ranch and planted thousands Of
mulberry trees, many of which are still
growing You can see them all over the

what he called the California Silk Gull

countrymen who were to be located upon
the land to grow the worms and to spin

stones, besides the name OF the lady
and the date of her death, there are
these words: This grave, bought for

But there are mightier forces than
heavy stones and iron clamps. A
little seed found lodging in the crevice
between two of the stones. 1t took
root and grew. until now there is an
immense birch tree waving its grace
full limbs over the tomb. Its roots
were through the grave. and the trunk
lifted the great stone and broke the
iron clamps: and the little seed had
opened the grave, for its power was
greater than the stone and the iron!
