We have been permitted by Seuor
Don James Gutierres, with Hunter
& Morgan, this city, to make the
following extracts from a letter re-
ceived from a former citizen, Mr. J.
M. Gielpatrick, now in San Bernar-
dino, California. Our older citizens
will recollect Mr. Gielpatrick, ns be-
ing with Messrs. Benoist & Nevins,
on Crawford street. The letter
bears date August 19th.
I arrived here a few days ago. I
like the appearance of this valley
very much, and should like to own a
piece of good land, and go into
grape culture. The raisin grape
grows well here and I think will be
very profitable for a long time.
The roads are quite dusty at times,
but then the ditches or asaquiasruns
along the road and looked refreshing.
The growing of the English
walnut, almond and raisin grape
will, I think, be the most profitable.
Of course, peaches, plums, necta-
rines and pears, grow in abundance,
as you know, and 1 see some very
bet. Main line fig trees and orange groves.
_____ The fig tree is very handsome.
There are gold and silver mines
I from 6 to 100 miles from here, and
they furnish a good market for eve-
| ry thing raised here. Potatoes are a
very profitable crop I am told.
I expect I shuli go up in the mines
to look round a little, and may go to
Arizona, but probably not before
spring.
People lure have small farms, few
of them over 50 acres. The weeds

But the faith that was in us was strong in-

yet as gold our soldiers received it,
It gazed in our eyes with a ‘promise to
