Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX, EDITOR. SATURDAY ... DEC. 21. 1872 ANAHEIM AND ITS FUTURE For many years after the discovery of gold, California was almost an unknown land to the citizens of the states. The greed for the precious metal, which drew to the shores of the Pacific the adventurers of every class could only be satiated by a residence in the rugged mountains of the Sierra. With eyes closed to all the beauties of nature which might exist, he passed hurriedly from the coast to the gold fields, where the time of his exile was to be spent; or after weary months of watching and travel across the desert plains, he eagerly enrolled himself in the vast multitude of men, to whom, every thing except gold was as naught. The returned Californian knew nothing of the land which he had visited. His reminiscences of this country of precious metals were of an existence of danger and privations, of a life far from the refining influence of woman where one's right arm was his only protection from the wild beasts of the forest or from the human jackals, who infested every mining camp. He had seen nothing of the grandeurs of the scenery which surrounded him; he was ignorant of the sunny cliffs and San Diego, its rain fall in great as at the first place, with the temperature of its climate more equable and more nearly approaches that of San Diego. The twenty miles distant from Anheim, the only tin-mine on the Pacific coast, within ten miles there is valuable marble quarry not infrequent in quality to the best Italian mable, three mines of bituminous ore have already been opened and is believed that beneath the Joaquin plains, is an immense field which will supply the wood demand, when the deposits of Newland and the Eastern States are exhausted. Its wines, the production of its vineyards, are already favorably known from San Francisco to New York, and from Chicago to New Orleans. That orange lemons, bananas, and other tropical fruits can be successfully grown has been demonstrated on a scale. In a few years these fruits will be one of its sources of revenue. The hills of the Santa Ana and foot hills of the Coast Range furnish feed for innumerable bandy of sheep and the water flowing through Santa Ana river even in the dry season can be eneconomized, so to operate all the water or steam power that is necessary to conduce the clip into woolen fabrics. One hundred years hence these various resources will be developed. Cornwall Devonshire will have sent to mines their workers in tin; the galleries beneath the San Joaquin will be filled with the miners' His reminiscences of this country of precious metals were of an existence of danger and privations, of a life far from the refining influence of woman where one's right arm was his only protection from the wild beasts of the forest or from the human jackals, who infested every mining camp. He had seen nothing of the grandeurs of the scenery which surrounded him; he was ignorant of the sunny slopes lying far to the South, and extending from the hills toward the sea, where the sun always shone and summer reigned from January to December. It was not until the Pacific was joined by an iron band to the Atlantic, that a rumor arose that in California there was a land which rivaled the tropics in the luxuriance of its vegetation, and possessing all the climatic advantages of the temperate zone. Tourists, seeking adventure, and desiring to explore an unknown country, came. They found the reality, to far exceed what they had heard. They found plains blooming with flowers, villages surrounded with vines and orange trees, and fields producing almost without cultivation; but they also found a population living entirely in the present, content with themselves and unambitions to improve. Some remained whilst others, returning, told in the far East the story of this modern Arcadia. Adventurers of a different class from the old gold-hunters, men not burnling with the thirst for gold but full of the energy and enterprise of their Saxon ancestry, came pouring in, and all at once Southern California aroused itself from its sleep of supineness and indifference, shook off the incrustations of sloth which incased it as in an armor, and awoke to the fact that to itself belonged a great and magnificent future. Santa Barbara and San Diego were the first to take the lead. Newspapers were established and loudly trumpeted to the world, the advantages of climate, of soil and of harbor possessed by their several localities: Anaheim, though physically more advantageously located then either, Santa Ana river even in the dry season can be eneconomized, so to operate all the water or steam power that is necessary to control the clip into woolen fabrics. One hundred years hence these various resources will have been developed. Cornwall Devonshire will have sent to mines their workers in tin; the galleries beneath the San Jose will be filled with the minerals Northumberland and Lancashire; the Basque of the Pyrenees herd his sheep on the foot hill; the Coast Range; our woolen fabrics, will be operated by descendants of the hardy New Englander; so tors will come to the new Carriages for material for their works, lying in the midst of a net work railway converging towards Diego, will stand the villas of merchant princes of the Occident perfumed with the fragrance of the orange orchards in which they are embowered. Anaheim does not seek to detain from the merits of other localities on the Pacific coast. With Santa Barbara and San Buenaventura will only strive in friendly rivals With San Diego, there can no valley exist. Its interests are identified with those of the valley of the Santa Ana, that the development of the one place insults the growth of the other. Does San Diego want building material other than adobes? We have an immense mountain of marble which can be constructed her wives. Does San Diego want for locomotives and for steamers Our coal fields are at its disposal. Does San Diego wish fruits for wines, for the tables of its weak citizens? Our orchards and vine yards are at its service! We tend to the seaport, which God nature have given us, our rich hand of fellowship. We say San Diego, "Your future will be our future." When the Texas Pacific has been completed, when products of the cotton fields Texas are deposited in the w houses of San Diego for shipment to the manufactures of Japan it as in an armor, and awoke to the fact that to itself belonged a great and magnificent future. Santa Barbara and San Diego were the first to take the lead. Newspapers were established and loudly trumpeted to the world, the advantages of climate, of soil and of harbor possessed by their several localities. Anaheim, though physically more advantageously located then either, could not at first keep pace with its sister towns. Settled originally by a colony of poor Germans with whom the first object was to provide a home and sustenance for their families, the town had a hard struggle for existence for the first few years. Now the prime aim of its citizens has been achieved, the base upon which their fortunes will be reared, has been well and substantially constructed, and they are anxious and ready to receive with open arms all those who may come to assist in developing the resources of their country. Situated, as Anaheim is in the centre of a vast plain, twenty miles in width by seventy miles long, which is watered by the two largest rivers in Southern California, lying at the extremity of the Coast Range, with the timbered summits of San Bernardino full of building material and with two local harbors—Newport and Anaheim Landing—it offers inducements possessed by no other locality to the manufacturer, the farmer, the miner and the capitalist. Lying midway between Santa Barbara EDITORIAL NOTES. Hon, Wm. D. Kelly, in a letter to the Philadelphia Press, in speech of the productions and future prospects of the Pacific coast, writes concerning the Temescal mines, situated about twenty miles from Anaheim: There are those who will do the existence of tin in California. I know that the tin mine in Bernardino county, Southern California, is one of the largest and richest deposits of this metal yet discovered. go, its rain fall is as in the first place, whilst nature of its climate is stable and more nearly apart of San Diego. Twentient from Anzheim is tin-mining on the Pacific ten miles there is a marble quarry not inferior to the best Italian mines of bituminous coal yet been opened and it that beneath the San Inns, is an immense coal will supply the world's open the deposits of Enthe Eastern States are its wines, the provineyards, are already grown from San Francisco York, and from Chicago Orleans. That oranges, bananas, and other tropics be successfully grown, demonstrated on a small few years these fruits of its sources of revenue. The Santa Ana and the Coast Range furnish amenable bandy of sheep, per flowing through the river even in the dryest so encomozized, so as all the water or steam is necessary to convert woolen fabrics. dred years hence all its resources will have hoped. Cornwall and will have sent to our workers in tin; the coal beneath the San Joaquin with the miners of edred any part of the world. The scarcity of labor and want of the means of transportation preclude the possibility of working it extensively for the present; but when the railroad is completed its proprietors will be able to offer such inducements as will secure the services of as many thousand of the skillful miners of Cornwall and Devonshire as they may need. The Southern Pacific railroad will be completed to this place in eighteen months. A tramway connecting the mine with the railway at this point, would cost not more than $50,000. The owners have refused one million of dollars for the property as it now is. Mariposa, Merced, Tuiare, Fresno and other counties of this section are developing ten times faster than the old settled localities of Santa Clara, Los Angeles, &c.; which are now about all they ever will be—Tulare Times. Have you tin mines, marble quarries, coal mines, orange orchards vineyards and two million acres of land lying in one body and traversed by three large rivers always full of water, up your way? Mark Twain is the only one who can write "fluently on subjects of which he is ignorant." You are not Mark Twain. According to European statisticians, we are to have a champagne famine ere long. The vintage in France for the past three years has virtually been a failure. We shall probably have to export wine for a time from California to Europe, and import our own productions under new labels. — Alpine Miner. We shall do better that... According to European statisticians, we are to have a champagne famine ere long. The vintage in France for the past three years has virtually been a failure. We shall probably have to export wine for a time from California to Europe and import our own productions under new labels.—Alpine Miner. We shall do better that that A champagne establishment is projected, and will be in successful operation by next July, in Anaheim. We will be able to supply not only the home demand but Europe if their crop continues to fail. In a criticism on a late report of the English coal mines the British Quarterly Review states that the coal deposits will be exhausted in about seventy-three years. We learn that their statements have been contradicted by scientific men, who were requested to investigate the matter. The geological expedition which was sent into Ireland say there is sufficient coal to supply the demand for two thousand years to come. To obtain this deposit however, it will be necessary to descend to a much lower level, and it is feared in that event, that the heat will be so great that it will be impossible for the miners to work. W. Jeff Gatewood of the World paid our Sanctum a hurried call on yesterday. We look upon Colgatewood as the Nestor of the Press of Southern California and consequently, record his visit in our editorial columns. He mentioned to us certain matters, for the accomplishment of which, it will require the united efforts of the Southern counties. We recognize the correctness of his views as expressed to us, and will most heartily co-operate with him in forwarding them to a successful termination. Dry Goods. STEINHART & BRO. Dry Goods.
