Central says that one ranch ot 2,200
acres has produced 1,03) tons of Lima
bjans this year. It took 81,000 sacks
t hold the crop and they will fill about
1 3 cars, on the average of ten tons to
the car. This will mafcfe eight or nine
tiains of beans. But this is only from
one ranch. The railroad company ex
pects to handle 1,5'K) carloads of beans
on the Ventura division this year, which
at $22 per ton if shipped East, means
f 13 ',,000 in their cash account.
A Are recently at Tombstone, A. T.,

B mnield. v The mine has- not been
worked for about five years, though the

p'emie day and night aince the mine
waa shut down. The loss to the com
pany will probably exceed $400,000:
which is only covered by a very small
insurance in San Francisco companies.
Tue mine was. one of the beat in that
vicinity, having paid dividends to the
amount of f2 0:0,030 In five years ol its
operation. Tne owners of the mine are
California capitalists.' ! ;, .
The United States steamer Ambatrosa
arrived at San Francisco the other morn
ing from Honolulu. The . steamer has
been engaged in surveying the line of a
cable from there to the Hawaiian Is
lands, and reports that a practicable
route has been found. The route has
not yet been wholly surveyed,' but
enough soundings have been taken to
learn that it is entirely practicable. At
Monterey was found the best place to
land a cable on this side. - There is a
gully extending up the bay, gradually
shallowing from the entrance to the
ih-H-e, and the landing there will be
comparatively easy. At Honolulu the
finding of a Uniting place was not so
easy. The Islands are of a volcanic
origin, and "rise abruptly out of the
water, rendering a gradual approach to
the land almost impossible. After re
peated soundings, however, a place was
found that would answer the purpose.
This place is a suburb of Honolulu
named Wtikikl, and about four miles
south of the metropolis of the islands.
