ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1904 GOLD MINES AND IRRIGATED FARMS The Development of Mines in the Arid West Is in a Great Measure Dependent Upon the Development of Irrigation [Special Correspondence of the Gazette] RENO, NEVADA, March 12, 1904.—Senator Teller called the attention of his colleagues in the senate last week to the great mining discoveries made recently in Colorado. Colorado is fast becoming a golden state, populous and productive; but greater than her productions of the precious metals is her product of agriculture, and because of this fact of farm-wealth her mines are prosperous and increasing. On the other hand, look at her sister state of Nevada. During the past twenty years, the population of Nevada has been slowly declining. It is a common remark that this is due to the exhaustion of its mineral resources, and that its decadence must be accepted as a permanent condition. The truth is that the mineral resources of Nevada are by no means exhausted. On the contrary, there are many localities where great ore bodies carrying profitable amounts of precious metals—often ranging from $30 to $60 per ton—lie entirely unworked. Contrary to popular opinion, the successful development of a mineral district does not depend only on a deposit of rich ore. That, of course, is one of the requisites of success, but there are others. Labor must be available; there must be a convenient base of supplies to assure the sustenance of man and beast, and finally, transportation facilities must be provided in order that the mining district may be accessible from the outside world, and iron horse for the railroad ever follows where the forces of production point the way. If the entire irrigated area of the west, some eight million acres, which practically constitutes the west, should suddenly revert to the desert what effect would it have on the industrial life of the arid region, and the business of the country at large? First of all, it would close a multitude of paying mines now turning out tens of millions in value every year. It would knock down the value of railroad securities as never before and throw the stock exchanges into convulsions. It would cause an enormous shrinkage of real estate values, quickly followed by the depopulation of many localities now prosperous and growing, and eastern merchants and manufacturers would find that the bottom had dropped out of the biggest part of their western market. We have but to reverse the proposition to understand what it means to double the irrigated area of the west. It means, of course, a vast increase of the number of paying mines, and consequently in the annual production of precious metals. It means higher prices for railroad securities and real estate, and more business for eastern merchants and manufacturers. In a word, irrigation is the straight road to national prosperity—the surest influence making for its continuance, and for its constant enlargement. The stupendous enterprise of claiming the desert lands of half a continent and settling them with a productive population has now gone far beyond the bounds of private enterprise. It has become a national undertaking—a national aspiration. It is the latest and the biggest thing to which Uncle Sam has set his hand, and it will not only double, but increase tenfold the irrigated area of the west. Considered only in relation to mining, the policy of national irrigation would be amply justified, for it would improve in crop conditions in Southern California. The rainfall for the month greatly benefitted pasture grain fields and orchards. Pasture beginning to show up well and too rainy has been sufficient to carry the gravel along. Heavy rains will yet be needed to insure a fair crop of anything but hay. However, as March is usually a month of most copious rainfall in Southern California, ranchmen and orchardists are fairly confident of prosperous year. Cereals are advancing steadily. Dried rainfall effected materially shieldsments of early vegetables. No cabages have gone East and only one-half the usual shipment of cauliflower. Cery shipments will show curtailment about 150 carloads. The weather is interfered both with the quality and quantity of this crop. To date about 1,000 carloads have been shipped. Prices have ruled satisfactory. Beet planting goes steadily on. The soil is in good condition and late rains will insure the usual sugar campaign at the various factories. There is some concern felt as to the effect of the war in the far East in causing shortage of Japanese laborers. The bean market is strong with active demand. Pinks and whites have advanced; limas are up to 3 cents new. There are from 225,000 to 250,000 sacks in growers' hands in Ventura county who do not show anxiety to meet buyers. War, as well as delayed rainfall has affected the stiffening prices. Market and Salted Message, Lard, Telenhone Main 5 OF ANAHEIM DEDENT PRESIDENT ER tries Ealt Meats RTIN.

Contrary to popular opinion, the successful development of a mineral district does not depend only on a deposit of rich ore. That, of course, is one of the requisites of success, but there are others. Labor must be available; there must be a convenient base of supplies to assure the sustenance of man and beast, and finally, transportation facilities must be provided in order that the mining district may be accessible from the outside world, and that its raw products may be carried to the smelter. Those who know the mineral resources of the western states and territories are in the habit of saying, "The ground has only been scratched." The statement is literally true. There cannot be any thorough, scientific and economical development of mineral resources until the happening of certain big things which, in most localities, have proven to be wholly beyond the reach of individual enterprises, and very often even beyond the reach of companies operating with enormous capital. In the mountain and desert states most generously endowed with mineral wealth, irrigation is the great civilizer. It is the first step in the development of all the resources of the region. Towns, railroads, mining and lumber camps, together with industries of every description, depend upon it. Irrigation is the broad and permanent foundation of the whole fabric of economic life in the west. The case of Nevada is typical. It looks barren enough as the transcontinental traveler sees from his flying train. And the census figures are not encouraging. Nevertheless, Nevada has abundant potentialities, and will some day turn the laugh upon those who have made it the object of bitter and ceaseless derision, and irrigation is the golden key which will unlock the door of its really immense resources. If the land laws, now used for getting lands for speculation and for cattle grazing, shall be repealed by congress so that the government lands can remain government lands until they are irrigated by the government and turned over to real homesteaders, then agriculture in the west will double and quadruple, and mining and every western industry will jump forward. The government work now progressing so well along the Truckee river promises much for Nevada. It will bring farmers to the state, and they will produce food for men and forage for beasts. Fortunately the public lands under the Truckee project have been reserved by the Secretary of the Interior under the Desert Land law, and they can only be taken under the Five-year Homestead Law. All such lands throughout the west which Uncle Sam may irrigate this year or next or in the next twenty-five years, should be in effect so reserved. But take the matter of the rich ore bodies of Nevada. Why are they undeveloped in spite of the stronuous enterprise so characteristic of our time? The stupendous enterprise of reclaiming the desert lands of half a continent and settling them with a productive population has now gone far beyond the bounds of private enterprise. It has become a national undertaking—a national aspiration. It is the latest and the biggest thing to which Uncle Sam has set his hand, and it will not only double, but increase tenfold the irrigand area of the west. Considered only in relation to mining, the policy of national irrigation would be amply justified, for it would return vast dividends to the country on its investment in that way alone. But it is impossible to view it longer in that narrow light. It ramifies in every direction, and sends its influence into every channel of the nation's life. This conquest of natural resources in the wide west is a greater thing than the conquest of all the islands and archipelagues in the seven seas. It means work and homes, independence and contentment for future millions of our own countrymen. And it is another and more striking instance of "duty and destiny." WILLIAM E. SMYTHE JERSEY BREEDERS The Jersey Breeders' Association met at Buena Park, in this county, on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. The local attendance was not large, but otherwise the meeting was full of interest. The first days' meeting was devoted mainly to business matters, and the second day to the discussion of matters of general interest. Governor Parcee was thanked for his efforts in raising the quarantine on stock shipped from this end of the state, so that those who were suffering from the dry season could move their stock to places where the pasture was better. C.W. Leffingwell, Jr., of Whittier, had a paper on Large vs. Small Stock, in which he discussed the comparative merits of the larger breeds as compared with the Jerseys. Prof. Majors, of the Dairy Department of the State University, gave a valuable talk on what can be done to forward the objects of the Jersey Breeders' Association. Assemblyman Hasson spoke briefly on needed legislation, and best methods of attaining it. James Boyd read a paper on one benefits of the association to the breeders. He said organization was the only way in which any measure of success would be attained. Without organization or co-operation among the breeders themselves they would be powerless to advance their interests. The next meeting of the association will be held the second Tuesday in March, 1905, at Orange. The officers for the ensuing year are: C.W. Leffingwell, Jr., president; Whittier; John A. Campbell, vice-president; Buena Park; C.W. Campbell secretary; Los Angeles; E.M. Wheeler; treasurer; Santa Ana. Directors: George Platt, Low Angles; C.S.Burgess, Riverside; W.J. Prices have ruled satisfactory. Beet planting goes steadily on. The soil is in good condition and late rains will insure the usual sugar campaign at the various factories. There is some concern felt as to the effect of the war in the far East in causing shortage of Japanese laborers. The bean market is strong with active demand. Pinks and whites have advanced; limacs are up to three cents new. There are from 225,000 to 250,000 sacks in growers' hands in Ventura county who do not show anxiety to meet buyers. War as well as delayed rainfall has effected the stiffening prices. The improvement in the dried fruit market is rather in better demand than in high prices. Supplies are not heavy except in case of prunes and raisins. Supplies are small in the eastern centers. There is steady inquiry for most varieties. Without doubt prices will shade up the next two months. There is little life in the raisin market movement slow. About 50 cars loads outside of the association are being offered one-fourth to one-half cent below association prices. Winemen report the year's vintage satisfactory. Profits per gallon are small, but net profits for the year are higher than for any of the three preceding years. Present prices will be sustained. Orange markets have been badly moralized the past two months. Never before have conditions been more unfavorable for the citrus industry. There has been no f.o.b. market Growers have been obliged to let crops go with no assurance of profit and every possibility of being obliged to meet deficit. Demand at present is better but prices are still low. Oranges are now going forward about 150 cars loads a day. Large quantities of fruit reach a condition that demands manketing in March and April and must be sent forward. About 15,000 carloads of citrus fruit still remain in Southern California. With good weather in the East and careful distribution these should be absorbed at good prices. Locally trade conditions are better Rain had an effect of increased country orders and giving a more confident tone to business generally. The real estate market continue firm and fairly active. Four hundred and eighty-two building permits, aged gregating $839,278 were issued during the month—the largest February construction done in the city's building annals. Failures for the month, 15; liabilities $63,000; assets $30,000. For Febuary, 1903; Failures, 5; liabilities $9,550; assets $5,700.

Fortunately the public lands under the Truckee project have been reserved by the Secretary of the Interior under the Desert Land law, and they can only be taken under the Five-year Homestead Law. All such lands throughout the west which Uncle Sam may irrigate this year or next or in the next twenty-five years, should be in effect so reserved. But take the matter of the rich ore bodies of Nevada. Why are they undeveloped in spite of the strenuous enterprise so characteristic of our time? Simply because they are remote from civilization. The cost of hauling supplies in and of hauling the product out is prohibitory. These silent districts, with their potentialities of wealth, are waiting for something to happen—and that something is irrigation. The watering of lands in their neighborhood means, first of all, a permanent population which may be drawn upon to furnish labor in the development of the mines. Next, it means food for men and teams at prices which will permit the industry to flourish. Finally, it means an irresistible invitation to the Fraternal Aid Anaheim, Cal., March 14, 1904. The Fraternal Aid Association held the District Convention at Long Beach on the 14th inst., when Mr. Don Carlos, of Lawrence, Kansas, was present. The local council will hold its next meeting March 23d, where there will be initiation. A large attendance of members is desired in order to arrange for a special meeting and reception of General President, Don Carlos, to be held the first week in April. CORNELIA R.

The undertaking was a great success among the public ventures attempted in the North, especially of significance in relation to the development of the country for a permanent population. Native products exhibited show that the Yukon can produce vegetables, grains, fruits, flowers and other products that would astonish people who have not lived there. Even old-time Klondikers were surprised. Not only are such articles raised successfully but many of them are superior to the same species raised elsewhere in the world. The long and almost endless days in the sub-Arctic summer, with the high temperature, rush certain classes of products so rapidly that they are far more tender and luscious than it is possible to secure in a country where part of each day is cold. Garden truck of all kinds has been raised here successfully for years. Carrots, peas, onions, radishes, beets parsnips, rhubarb, lettuce, cauliflower and celery cannot be excelled. So tender are these products that in cooking they have to be kept on the stove no more than one-third as long as vegetables raised in the states. The rush growth under the midnight sun makes the vegetables almost fast to pieces after cooking a short time. Some are extremely sweet, but rule all are delicately flavored. The beets contain so much sugar that doubtless would be an excellent course for the beet sugar industry if needed or trade centers. The vegetables also excel in one turnip was exhibited which weighed 21 pounds. Many words exhibited running from 10 to 15 pounds. They represented many varieties. One exhibitor raised 600 pounds of turnip on a piece of ground fifteen feet square. Cabbages of fine, solid beads were exhibited in great numbers. Red cabbage matured early. Potatoes, the more staple produc Gazette. HIY REVIEW OF TRADE CONDITIONS Aded Improvement at the Close February—Late Rains. A Great Benefit to Growing Crops and To Orchards Those of February finds marked improvement in crop conditions of California. The rainfall for both greatly benefitted pastures, fields and orchards. Pasture is going to show up well and the rain is sufficient to carry the grain ing. Heavy rains will yet be no insure a fair crop of anything. However, as March is usually of most copious rainfall in California, ranchmen and farmers are fairly confident of a busy year. Are advancing steadily. Desert fall effected materially shipf early vegetables. No cabbage gone East and only one-half shipment of cauliflower. Celery will show curtailment of 10 carloads.

Quite a number were shown which were grown here this season and had matured. From one potato flower F. X. Ladercote, of Kirkham, near Dawson, raised 100 pounds of potatoes after multiplying the increase, three seasons. The potatoes of different varieties ripen in various parts of the Yukon basin. Those exhibited in Dawson averaged about three specimens to the pound. Tomatoes were also exhibited. Some had matured, but it is as yet hard to get big crops to fully mature here. Those that have matured are splendid. They are grown in the open air, as are all the fruits here mentioned. Matured peas also were exhibited. Splendid specimens of native hay were shown, among them bald barley, which runs sixty-five bushels to the acre. White life wheat, red chaff wheat, oats, barley and other such grains were on exhibition in handsome ripened sheafs. Oats were shown five to ten and one-half feet tall which were planted on June 4. Native hay has been raised in quantities for the Dawson market this season. Sam Henry, of Stewart River, exhibited some which had just been harvested for the winter. The wild hay is worth here $60 to the ton and the other $80. The fair doubtless will be a great incentive to further farming and gardening in the Yukon. It is expected that within five years or less the Yukon will import few potatoes or hay. It now imports no garden truck. The country raises an abundance of garden truck to supply itself, and that with little effort. —Pacific Northwest. TO GROW DATES J. W. Mills has made a trip to Mecca on the edge of the Colorado desert, on business connected with the establishment of date palm experiment gardens LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST ELECTION AND BONDS INVALID The controversy over the legality of the Orange High School election and issue of $35,000 bonds was settled some days ago by a decision of Judge West in the case recently brought by W. G. Wells, one of the taxpayers of the school district, against the trustees, the Supervisors, the Tax Collector and the school district, asking that the election and bond issue be declared invalid, the tax levy imposed by the Supervisors void, and that an injunction be issued restraining Tax Collector Robinson from collecting further taxes. In the opinion rendered, the court holds the election and bond issue invalid and of no binding force, but declares the tax levy to be legal and collectable. The decision will lead to the issuance of new bonds and the straightening out of the legal tangle in which the district has become involved by the invalidity of the former issue. Money from Bond The money for the recent Santa Ana bond issues of $20,000 for city hall, of $12,000 for school-house and of $8000 for a fire-alarm system has been collected by City Clerk Tedford and is on deposit awaiting disposition by the various boards. The total amounts available, including the premium and accrued interest, are $20,437.20 for city hall, $12,259.20 for school and $8,-173,80 for fire-alarm system. The entire issue was bought up by Isaac Springer & Co. of Pasadena. Preparations are already well under way for using the money made available by the sale of the bonds. Plans for the city hall have been accepted and next Monday evening bids for its construction will be opened and the contract probably let work to start at once.

Mills has made a trip to Mecca on the edge of the Colorado desert, on business connected with the establishment of date palm experiment gardens as a part of the Experiment Station work. It is expected to secure fifteen acres of land for this purpose. Concerning this enterprise the University, bulletin for March 5 says: Professor Arnold V. Stubenrauch Superintendent of Agricultural Experiment Stations has returned from a month's trip to Washington. During this time he aided in placing on the coast two important government experiment stations. One of these will be a date garden which will be located at Mecca on the edge of the Colorado desert. Enough date palm suckers will be imported from Africa to set at least five acres, and the work of the garden will be conducted jointly by the University and the United States Department of Agriculture. The other station is one for seed and plant introduction, for which fifty acres of land will be secured in the northern part of the Sacramento valley, near Chico. A large number of plants and other materials are already packed in Washington ready for shipment, and P. H. Dorsett, who will be superintendent of the new station, is already on his way to the coast. Broke Jail Horace Ammerman, in jail at Santa Ana awaiting trial on a charge of perjury for false swearing in securing a license to marry Maude Cobb of Los Angeles, took leave of his prison last Wednesday night and departed to regions unknown. He left behind a note addressed to Deputy Sheriff Lacy, thank- ing him for his kindness and saying that he was bound for Arizona and across the line into Mexico. Sunday evening Ammerman complained of intestinal pains and was transferred from his cell to the hospital ward of the jail where he was given medical treatment. The night of his escape he complained of excessive pain and thirst and was thought to be seriously ill. Thursday morning when the jailer took breakfast to the ward Ammerman had gone, leaving the note to explain his departure. A table knife with nicked edges, which he had abstracted from his plate when taking a meal, was used to pick the lock of the door leading from the hospital ward, and he had thus secured the freedom of the building and made a ready escape without awakening any of the inmates. He locked the door of the cell after he departed. Change of Ownership Having sold the City Livery Stable POSIT awaiting disposition by the various boards. The total amounts available, including the premium and accrued interest, are $20,437.20 for city hall, $12,259.20 for school and $8,-173.80 for fire alarm system.

Plans for the city hall have been accepted and next Monday evening bids for its construction will be opened and the contract probably let work to start at once. The new school-house is also to be built in the immediate future, plans being already approved. City Trustees Black and Wright, with the officers of the fire department, are now investigating fire alarm systems to determine upon one to be installed as provided in the $8000 issue. The fire company is also to build new quarters on North Sycamore street, next to the Masonic Temple, as a fire hall and general headquarters. TOBACCO SPITTER. Complaint is made by business men about towns that the tobacco-spitter is up to his old tricks of squirting his liquid delights upon windows at night. It would be a pleasure to pull on a rope tied the other end to this fellow's neck and thrown over a cross-beam at convenient altitude. Who is he? STOLE A KETTLE. Some time during Friday night thieves drove up to the residence of Mr. Fischer and made away with a 140-gallon copper kettle used in his distillery. They drove a light wagon, judging by the tracks, but went about their work so noiselessly no one in the house was awakened.
