The late A. Y. Easterby was the modern Alaadin who first made use of the means in the territory now comprised within the limits of Fresno County by which the pres- s macic work began. This magi- ciar amp was that of experience only. He had witnessed the wonderfuily benefi- effects of irrigation in India and t. He applied his experience and observation to this great valley; that was {all. He diverted the waters from the great streams which traverse this valley | at remarkably equidistant intervals, and | spread tnem out upon the broad, level plains. 5 The surface of the land is composed of a rick alluvial deposit, which, under Easter- | by’s system of moisture, yields to the hus- bandman most remarkable returns.

Thus far as to;the valley productions, which, rare and immensely valuable as they are, by no means exhaust the physi- cal resources of this great county. If we look a little further we shall see that much of great importance remains to be told. For, it should be borne in mind that this county, which, it has been shown, com- prisesa greater extent of terriory than some of the States of the Union, is 128 miles in extent from east to west, while its width varies from 35 to 70 miles. .In the eastern part of this vast domain the snow- crowned Sierra Nevada Mountaing rear their peaks to the hight of 14,000 feet above the sea level. From these dizzy heights, whers the ice king holds perpetual sway, the county stretches across to the west until it reaches the Mount Diadlo range. The recent find of free gold in a ledge of decomposed quartz near the base of Quartz Mountain seems to emphasize the importance of what was formerly almost the sole occupation of the county’s inhab- itants—viz.: mining. In the early days the pioneers worked only the gravel deposits of this county with great success, securing large quanti- ties of gold. These gravel beds were not extersive, however, ana a few years suf- ficed to exhaunst the most promising, after I\hmb placer mining became almost obso- ete. During the past few years quartz mining hassupplanted the old method and with most gratifving results. Shafts and tunnels have penetrated far into the sides of mountains. These have opened up many new ledges which show gold in pay- ing quantities. So much for gold mining. _Prospectors have reported from time to time enarmous deposits of high-grade iron Ore crowning the Minarets. It is said to e a great mass of alwost pure iron. Its location is far back into the mountains, however, and therefore no attempt has been made in the direction of mining it. Among the foothills and mountains near the western border of the county are to be from portions of the vast domain com- prised in t ies of Tulare, Merced and Mari ceatral county of the great San i contains 5606 square most a; t as that of the States of Connecticutar.a Rhode Island combined The earl san Joag nia Desert, geographers gnated the Valley as the “Great Califor- and General John C.

This vast area is comprised in innumerable small tracts. Careful computations show that there are 1450 orchards and vineyards of from five to forty acres each and about 300 ranging from forty to 100 acresin each. Then there are nearly 1000 stock and grain ranches in the county ranging from 1000 acres down. The grain sown last year was as follows: | One hundred and fifty-six thousand acres to wheat and 29,000 acres to barley. Be- sides these there were thousands of acres sown to alfalfa, which yielded the most gratifyine results. | Important as these productions are, | found many valuable deposits of coal, gyp- | sum and asphaltum. FRESNO CITY. The vear 1806 is destined unquestionably to mark an important era in the history of Fresno City—an era characterized by great and unprecedented activity and progress. This year will witness the completion of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val- ley Railroad into Fresno; also that scarcely less important_enterprise, the plant of the an Joaquin Electric Light and Power | Company. The former guarantees a rate of trans- portation for the products of this valley, | which, it is confidently asserted, will in- [ sure a fair, not to say a generous profit, on | THE FRESNO HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. 4 en waste,” wholly unfit for any other oc- cupancy than that which it then pos- | sessed, namely, numerous herds of wild horses, elk and antelope, which browsed and fattened on the juicy grasses which bordered its perennial sireams and dotted with bunches of green its vast slopes and foothill ranges. The possibilities of this immense terri- tory were not understood for nearly twenty vears after General Fremont had pub- jished his account of it. It has been witain three decades that this “‘desert” of former years has been made to ‘‘blossom as the Tose.” Thedays of the wild horse, fur- | they sink into comparative insignificance when classed with the culture of raisin grapes. The reputation of Fresno County raisins is world wide. Nowhere else, perhaps, can raisins be produced under so favorable con- ditions as in Fresno County. This is due party to the geognostic character of the soil and also to the hot, dry temperature of the summer and early autumn months. The almost total absence of rainfall from the middle of April to the middle of November each year con- stitutes a condition which guarantees the highest perfoction in the production and curing of rasins. While this is true, the | every variety of soil productior: of which it is capable. The policy of the Southern Pacific Rail- road’s management of “all tbe traffic will bear” has retained in a kind of bondage what otherwise would have been the most prosperous and contented people on earth. The completion of the last named under- taking insures motive power for manufac- turing purposes at a rate far below the | cost of steam. In view of this fact several factory enterprises, of which this City greatly stands in need, will undoubtedly spring up; and not only this, but the ma- chinery and mills, already here, will be furnished power. far below the rate now almost unparalieled system of irrigation | being paid, thus increasing the profits of VIEW OF MARIPOSA STREET, FRESNO, FROM SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT. in; E‘he material growth of Fresno phenomenal. Fgrrom the organization of the county until after the completion of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1872 Mil- lerton, a small village about thirty miles east of Fresno, was the county seat. In that year the new county seat was decided upon. The transformation which has taken place from the time the town was staked out to the present is best exempli- fied by means of the illustrations which are printed in connection herewith. Fresno’s business blocks would be credit- able to a city many times its size. Many of them are solid brick structures two and three stories high. A splendid high-school building of brick will soon be completed, ‘Lhe city contains several very elegant church buildings and others are soon to be erected, It has a free public library, town hall, a very substantial opera-house and scores of . handsome dwelling-houses. Many of its main streets are paved and it has a complete sewer system. The Republican of thiscity, initssplendid New Year’s edition for 1896, referring to the growth of population and other kindred subjects, said: =~ “When the era of irrigation began the population consisted of the miners in the foothills and the cattle men, hugging the borders of the rivers. In 1873, a year after the county seat was removed from Miller- ton to Fresno, the vote cast at the general election was, including the present county of Madera, 762, which would indicate a population of about 4000. At the present time the city of Fresno and its additions contain nearly three times that number, while the last estimate shows the popula- tion of 34,860, located chiefly in a territory now under irrigation, with a natural ca- pacity to furnish employment, subsistence and competency for ten times that population, under conditions the most comfortable, with a climate the most genial that could he desired. The fertile soil of the plains which constitute nearly one-third of the county, its wonderful richness and productiveness enabling, under irrigation, the raising of successive crops the same seasen, the wealth of minerals in the mountains, the abundance of water for irrigation, the hot, dry but inoppressive atmosphere, giving size, rickness and sweetness to its fruits, and above ell its magnificent water power now being harnessed to electricity to fur- nish light, heat and motive power to the city and the various mills, all indicate that Fresno is yet in swaddling clothes as compared with its possibilities of future greatness. . “Besides all these are the coal, petro- leum, gypsum and sulphur deposits on the west side, and the inexhaustible iron mines and forests of the Sierras to meet. the demands of the thousands who may opulate the plain. Already two large umes, of sixty miles each in length, bring lumber down from the mountains— one from the greatest grove of sequoias or ‘big trees’ on the continent, the other from the forests of mammoth pines.” DIRECTORS QUARRELING. Trouble Arising From a Recent Corporation Elec: tion. . Sidney V. Smith Wants to Get Into the Board of the Donahue Road. There is trouble over the election of di- rectors of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad, held on January 20 last. At that election Antoine Borel, A. W. Koster, A. Markham, J. B. Stetson, George A. Newhall, P. N. Lilienthal and John L. Howard were declared elected, and now Sidney v. Smith, Antoine Borel, J. B. Stetson and John L. Howard are asking that the election be set aside to the extent of declaring Smith elected and P. N. Lilienthal defeated. There are 60,000 shares of stock in the company, and there were represented in the meeting 54,860 shares. When the vote haa been taken the plaintiffs allege that the following was the result: Antoine Borel, 52,844; J. B. Stetson, 52,845; John L. Howard, 52,843; Sidney V. Smith, 52,843; A. W. Foster, 43,162; Andrew Markham, 43,16 George A. Newhall, 43,162, and P. N. Lilienthal, 43,159, Borel voted his own stock and also over 8000 shares belongingto Peter Gundecher and G. E. Wagner. When these were about to be counted Jesse W. Lilienthal, who held one share, protested against them on the ground that neither Gun- decker nor Wagner were bona-fide stock- holders and that they could not, therefore, assign their proxy to ang one. Besides, he said, the proxies held by Borel had been reveked by the death of Ladenburg of the firm of Ladenburg, Thallman & Co., the real owners of the stock objected to. A. W. Foster,who presided, heard the protest, ruled it well taken, and threw out all the votes cast by Borel as proxy. 1t is further alleged that Jesse W. Lilienthal and Andrew Markham, against the protest of Smith, forged a ballot with all Smith's stock distributed for him, and cast the same. The ballot, the complaint states, was as follows: For Arthur W. Foster, 21,555; for Andrew Markham, 21,- 555; for George A. Newhall, 21,553; for P. Lilienthal, 21,553. This ballot was counted, and Smith claims his own ballot was thrown out and this forged ballot counted. This caused a change in the result as follows: J. P. Stet- son 11,417, John L. Howard 105, A. W. Foster 64,715, A. Markham 64,715, George A. Newhall 64,715, P. N. Lilienthal 64,712, Antoine Borel 54,844. These directors were declared eleoted. The whole matter was a conspiracy, the complaint states, to secure for Foster the vresidency of the board, the Anglo-Cali- forma Bank as treasurer and Jesse W. Lilienthal as counsel. At the meeting it is charged that Jesse ‘W. Lilienthal acted as counsel for Foster, and advised him to rule as he did. ————————— MONEY FOR A SCHOOL. Henry Curtner’s Donation to Ten Christian Ladies. Ten philanthropic ladies of California have received a handsome conditional gift from Henry Curtner of Warm Springs. Mr. Curtner owns some school property, Zonsisting of thirteen acres of land and school and dormitory buildings at Irving- ton. The property has been utilized by various religious denominations for edu- cational purposes, but without conspicu- ous success. Hiuherto Mr. Curtner donated the use of the property, but now he proposes to make a gift of it to the ladies of the Christian church in the State. The gift is conditional, however, upon the recipients securing an endowment of $2500. }f‘hey have set to work to raise the amount, are sending out circulars appeal- ing to the benevolence of the public and have put a solicitor in the field. Articles of incorporation have been filed, wherein Mr. Curtner pledges a bond of deed conditional upon the endowment. The property cost the donor $50,000. The officers are: Mrs. H. H. Luse, pres- ident; Mrs. Ella ¥. Maguire of Saratoga vice-president; Mre. Vera W. Durham of Irvington, recording secretary; Mrs. Har- riet S. Kennedy, corresponaing secretary; Mrs. Sue E. Grant of Woodland, Mrs. Lucy L. Curtner of Warm Springs, Mrs. Meron_E. Shadle of Slrl!oxn, . Ger- trude E. Smither of Los Angeles, Mrs. Lucy F. Johnson of San Jose, id.rs H.C.

Secured the Contract for the New Pacific- Street Shed. The steamer China got in from Hong- kong via Yokohama and Honolulu yester- duy a day ahead of time. She was up to | her dock before noon, but as the Doric and Colon occupied one side of the wharf and | the Belgic and a sailing ship the other, | Captain Seabury had to stand on and off until things were made ready for him. The Doric was to sail for the Orient at 3 p. M., and instead of letting the China come to an anchor and await her departure Agent Center determined to work out a scheme of his own. He called in the aid of the tugs Fearless and Active, and, after con- siderable delay, moved the Belgic out into the stream and anchored her. Then he moved the Doric from the east to the west side of the wharf and then the whari was clear for the China. By this time it was after 2 p. »., how- ever, and by the time the China was se- curely in her berth the Doric was getting ready to sail. There was not thirty min- utes of time saved and Uncle Collis is out $300 for the hire of the tugs. From afinan- cial standpoint the scheme was a success— for the tugs. The China brought thirty-three cabin and four Eurcpean and thirty-eight Chi- nese steerage passengers. Of the Chinese only eleven are for San Francisco, the others being in transit for Havana. The cabin passengers were: Dr. and Mrs. Cantlie, child and maid, T. Choimeley, Charles Dunne, Rev. and Mrs. C. G. Gard- ner and child, Mrs. M. Ginsburg, Mr. arnd Mrs. Otto Heydenfeldt, M. R. Jofferds, A. Johnson, Dr. H. Kanner, Vicomte de Labry, Rev. G. A. Lofrey, Miss F. McCar- | thy, A. A. Lopez Navarro, Mr. and Mrs. | J.'H. Pierce ana maid, Miss Pierce, W. M. Redwood, G. Reiffinger, Ed Ringe, W. F Stevenson, F. Strahler, Miss L. Stubbs, Miss B. Tisdale, S. Taylor, G. C. R. Walter. During the run from Honolulu First As- sistant Engineer H. H. Cooper went sud- | denly out of his mind, and_bhad to be con- fined in a straitjacket. He was appar- ently rational when the vessel docked, but the chances are that 1t will be some time before he fully recovers. The captain of the revenue cutter Rush had a great picnic docking his vessel yes- | terday. From the time he arrived off Main-street wharf it just took him three | hours to get the cutter alongside. While | he was maneuvering the British ship| Morkbarns was moved from Beale street | and placed in the Merchants’ drydock. | The vessel was shored up and the dock | pumped dry before the first line wus | thrown from the Rush. In order to give the revenue boat plenty of room the steam | schooner Westport moved out, and after | the trouble was all_over docked again in | ten minutes. UncleSam’s revenue marine | may be good sailors, but they don’t know | much about docking a ship. | Captain Dettmars made a very smart | run from Cleone in the steam schooner | Alcazar this last trip. His vessel looked | more like a raft than anything else as she | came up the bay. There was on board 5000 railroad ties and 280 piles measuring i from 50 to 75 feet for the Valley road. Healy, Tibbitts & Co. received the cow tract for the erection of the new shed over Pacific-street wharf yesterday from the | Harbor Commissioners. There was a dif- | ference of almost $5000 between the highest | and lowest bidders. The bids were as fol- lows: Anderson & Gregg, $12,732; Camp- | bell & Petters, $9999; Soule Bros., $10,330; | Alex Campbell, $8849; San Francisco ’ Bridge Company, $10,000 A.

The steamer Willamette Val which broke her crank pin and had to putinto Ensenada in distress, arrived in tow of the | Bonitalycsterduy. She went direct to the | Union Iron Works, where she will be re- | paired and sail again in about a week. The coast defense steamer Montere; rived from Santa Barbara yesterday. few hours out from San Diego she was | caught in & southeaster and lost some of | her boats. She will repair damages here and will then proceed to Puget Sound. The Occidental and Oriental Company’s steamer Doric sailed for the Orient yester- day with twenty cabin and eiz.ty steerage passengers. Dr. Chapman, the Belgic, went outas surzeon of the ship. SUTRO AND THE MAILS. The Mayor Could Be Indicted by the United States Grand Jury. Replying to the question whether steps would be taken to punish Mayor Sutro for violating the law against .depositing scurrilous matter for delivery through the mails, Postmaster Frank McCoppin yes- terday said: | “The subject has passed bevond my hands.” It has been referred to the In spectors by the Postoffice Department, and if they consider that the statute has been violated by Mayor Sutro they ean vresent the question to the United States District Attorney, who may place the matter be- fore the United States Grand Jury now in session.”’ The Postmaster was asked if he consid- ered the matter forwarded by Mr. Sutro as scurrilous within the meaning of the law, he replied : | hat is a question for the inspectors, the District Attorney and Grand Jury to determine. Iregarded the matteras un- mailable under the law and detained some | 800 or 1000 envelopes. Some, however, went through. The course pursued by him might do for Barbary Coast corre- | spondence, but the idea of sending such comment as the envelopes contained fo the capital of the Nation and to represen- tatives of the people in Congress was in- | decent and absurd to say least. 1t is not fair to censure Mr. Cnandler,” continued the Postmaster. *He did write at the bottom of one of the printed circu- lars that he was willing to receive arespect- | ful communication from any citiz of | California, but he did object to receiving | scurrilous_communications such as had beed incld¥ed and mailed to him.” | The penalty under the statute for send- | ing scurrilous or defamatory ommunica- tions through the mzils is, upon convic- tion, a fine of mot more $5000, or imprison- ment at bard labor not more than five years, or both, at the discretion of the court. Sl e A Halt-Interest Swindle. | Eugene Aitken, a half-interest man, was ar- rested rday on a warrant charging him ith obtaining money by faise preten-es, Tho complaining witness is Pnilip A. Potter, a re- ceut arrival from Providence, R. L., living at 23 Kearny street, who alieges that he pur- chased for $75 from Aitken a haif interest in a coffee, tea and wine route and found there was no such route. ——————————— Isaac Hecht's Donation.
