LOCATED IN LOS ANGELES, ORANGE, RIVERSIDE AND SAN I BERNARDINO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA IS THE SOLE OWNER of Eighty Thousand Acres of land lying in the best portion of the Santa Ana Valley in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, and 'Forty-five Thousand Acres adjoining Riverside, Colton and South Riverside in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. These lands are especially adapted for oranges, lemons, vines, walnuts, deciduous fruits of all varieties, corn, alfalfa and other agricultural products. They have a reputation throughout our Southern Counties for their surpassing productiveness, for the ease and cheapness with which they can be cultivated, and for their accessibility of the several lines of railroads running through the property, the distance from Los Angeles to about the center of the lands being only a forty-minute ride over either of two lines of railroad, twenty trains a day each way, running between Los Angeles, Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana, across the property, while county roads are opened in all directions. Upon portions of the Ranchos there are good schools, churches, etc., already established, making this altogether the most desirable property now for sale in any part of California. The fine tropical productions, such as the orange, lemon, olive, date, fig, etc., all flourish here in great perfection. The rich bottom lands yield immense crops of corn, and large portions grow the finest crops of alfalfa and natural grasses. The mesa, or uplands, are of the finest quality, and admirably adapted to barley, oats, rye, wheat, flax, hemp and the vine, as well as all the ordinary northern fruits. Every character of soil that is found in California can be duplicated in these lands, and every product grown in semi-tropics can be successfully raised here. Water is easily obtained from canals running through and across this property for irrigating nearly all the tillable lands except in the artesian belt. In this district water from flowing wells is used for irrigation. Large quantities of oil have been developed on portions of these lands in the La Habra Valley, about twenty-five miles from Los Angeles, in what is called the Fullerton district. Flowing wells of water are obtained at a depth of from 50 to 300 feet, at a cost of from $100 to $500. There is considerable land that does not require irrigation, and will grow large crops of corn, alfalfa and vegetables without it, no matter how dry the season. These moist lands are the best for growing apples and pears, as well as feed for dairy stock. In a word, the entire property is in a healthy, beautiful, genial and most fertile section, offering strong inducements to settlers, and rapidly filling up, and is for sale in tracts to suit purchasers at prices ranging from $20 to $75 per acre. The lands offered are virgin soil, and intending purchasers should consider the advantages of buying from this company, as its business is done through its accredited agent direct with the owners; hence, the prices named carry no commissions nor entail any expense to the buyer, but will be net and exact. You are guaranteed quick transactions and immediate possession. Terms: One-quarter cash, balance in one, two and three years, with interest at eight per cent per annum on deferred payments. Special terms given syndicates and colonists. Title: Mexican grants confirmed by United States patents. W. J.
