Prominent Men Predict a Mar- velous and Continued Growth. THE RESULTS OF ENTERPRISE. Three New Railroads for the Manu~ | facturing Center in as Many Months. STOCKTON, Car., July 3.—Thousands of péople will be in this city to-morrow, attracted as much by the idea of seeing what a cify that can secure three railroads | here and the industries established will at- tract more of the thrifty class of workmen as well as outside capital. «“This Corral Hollow road is going to bea great thing for us,” he continued. “Every other item of expense in living is already low here and when good coal retails at §4 a ton that is a great saving in the cost of running a home.” W. D. Buckley of Eaton, Newell & Buck- ley is an enthusiast over the prospectsin store for Stockton. “Judging from the way other cities in the East have grown quickly with much less natural resources than we have,” said he this morning, ‘‘we should have in two or three years a population of 50,000. Why shouldn’t we? With the start we now have, cheap fuel and water not far distant to irrigate 300,000 acres of the finest agri- cultural land in the world we should, with all these factors for progress, go ahead with wonderful rapidity. “There is one thing I have already noticed here in Stockton, and that is that there are no idle people. Nearly every- body is employed, and that is a healthy ign. There is no question but that very oon the people here will wake up to a realization of what they have. It is true they are enterprising and have recently shown to the rest of the State how full of enterprise they are, but still they do not appreciate as others on the outside do just how valuable their holdings here are.

Wilhoit &Sons, in conversation with the CaLt correspondent, said that Stock- ‘fon has never had a boom, and has not one now..- Prices for land are now cheap, and not very much higher than they were be- for the various roads that are going to be so mueh for this city started to come here. . “We have certainly everything,” said Wiltroit, “‘to make’ this a great city.

Thesé things ouglit to be enough to tell | said Mr. Griffiths the entire San Joaquin Valley, for which this city is the natural distributing point. There is no telling what we will be five years from now.”” S. M. Griffiths, of Griffiths & Wolf, has had considerable experience in boom towns, and he declared to-day that prop- erty here right now is by far the cheapest of any in any town of note in California, and that prices could be doubled and still the rates would be cheap. “In the three months I have been here,” , *‘L have noticed a sharp increase in land values, but the increase is almost nothing compared to what it will be in a year from now. I know the State of California thoroughly.and I speak in | all candor when I say that there is no place in the State where investments be made so advantageouvsly as in this city There is very little -idleness here, and there is more money in circulation to the population in Stockton than in any other city on the coast. I have observed an air of prosperity and of confidence that a man seems to breathe as soon as he strikes the town. I notice also that there are no dwellings to rent, and it is a fact that to- day there are a great many families camped in tents along the rivers and chan- nels near here, waiting for houses to be built. ““Another great interest that the people have almost lost sight of is this c: 1 of the Stanislaus and San Joaquin Irrigation Company. It will be open in about a month and then hundreds of thousands of acres will be cut -up and subdivided into small farms. Al great cities are built up by agriculture or manufactures, or both, and Stockton has both. Stockton has an agricultural region about her second to none in the State. She is the natnral dis- tributing point for the great San Joaquin Valley and a portion of the Sacramento v, as well as for one of the richest ing regions of Californi terday a mining man of Fresno who is opening up new properties in the moun- tains purchased §$1500 worth of supplies here. Stockton as a manufacturing city will be the Pittsburg of the Pacific Coast. With an abundance of natural gas and the cheapest fuel on the Pacific Coast, as soon as the Corral Hollow road is completed, the great manufacturing interests are bound to center here.” D. R. Oliver recently returned from vis- iting several of the leading cities of the interior. He declared to-day that property here is now worth more by from a quarter to a half than in any of these cities. “Why,” he exclaimed, “rates are ridicu- lously cheap here now, when one considers what they will be in a year from now if Stockton develops, as she is bound to. You wait until you see the people that are already looking to Stocktan ready to come | here with their business and willing to put their capital in this place. Just as soon as the Valley road is started you won’t know the city. From all parts of the State come inquiries about locations for various enter- prises, and Stockton has shown that she will foster every legitimate industry she can. I don’t know of any place on this coast that I would rather be in than right here, for I have just that much faith in Stockton'’s future to believe that she is the best town for a business man to tie to that there is in California.” Work has been under way for several days by the surveyors who are running their lines for the Corral Hollow road, and on the 10th inst. Engineer Storey has said the actual work on the Valley Rail- way will be commenced in this city. Already the Lodi road has reached the Smith place, some miles from here, and the work of grading is going on as rapidly as possible.

The location of Stockton with reference to the Tegion of wheat production and to navigation, and the fact that this favorable location has been taken advantage of by progressive manufacturers, has made it one of the best known flour producers of the world. The Sperry Mills were established in 1852, and burned in 1882 and rebuiltin October, 1882. The main building is built of brick, five stories in height; the other buildings are also of brick, one, two and | three stories in height, covering a whole | block. The capacity is 1500 barrels daily. It | has fifty-two sets of rollers and all modern machinery, lighted by electric lights from their own vlants. The power is supplied by a Corliss engine made by the Risdon Iron Works. They manufacture theirown cotton sacks, have their own printing press, cookshop for testing flour, cooper-shop, and the wheat is taken by conveyors from the warehouse and cars into the mills in a continuous stream. The products of these mills are widel: known and their reputation for good qual- ity unsurpassed. Their sales of flour in China and Japan far exceed that of any other company, in- somuch that their brands were so exten- agent, who checked the process by resort to the British courts. Their e_q{un. trade to Central and South America, Mexico, Hawaii, China and Japan is constantly increasing, and is a leading feature of their business. While the growth of the milling industry has re. quired years of patient labor and a great expenditure of capital, the benefits of it are evident, Eiving to_the farmersa home market for their products, besides afford- ing employment to hundreds of men. Besides "the manufacture of flour the company make large quantities of “‘Ger- sively counterfeited in China that the | company was compelled ‘to send overan | mea” and “Cerea,” a food product which | is meeting with rapid sale. The prospects for an increase of business over last year | are very flattering. In spite of sharp com- | petition, the export business has increased very considerably during the past vear, | and the prospects for the coming year are very promising. STOCKTON MILLING COMPANY. As the commercial center of the two great valleys of California Stockton is rep- resented so well with flourmills that she is sometimes called the Flour City, and this distinction has been largely due to the Crown Mills of the Stockten Milling Com- pany. These mills have a capacity of 1800 bar- rels per day, consume 720,000 sacks of wheat and manufacture 360,000 barrels of flour annually. The flour manufactured by this company commands the highest price and is rated the best in the market, and is made from the wheat raised in San Joaquin County and the San Joaquin Valley, for which they pay the farmers the highest possible price. The company has an office at 112 Califor- nia_ street, San Francisco, where all the business relating to foreign shipments is transacted. Mr.J. M. Welsh, the general manager, resides at Stockton and gives his whole time to the management of the large business of the Crown Mill and Warehouse. He is one of Stockton’s most enterprising citizens and is always found in the front of all public enterprises. He is a liberal subscriber to the stock of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad and one of the most active promoters of the enter- prise. A.
