THE WEST AMERICAN MINING AND EXPLORATION ASSO- CIATION.
San Diego, California.
The objects of this association are to further the systematic and scientific exploration of West America, and to foster and promote in every legitimate manner the various branches of the mineral industries. There are hun- dreds of undeveloped mineral proper- ties in the western United States and Mexico, containing gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and other metals, or valu- able minerals, waiting for some one with capital and business judgment to turn them into paying mines. No in- vestment yields better returns than a good mine. But there are thousands of alleged mines or prospects, and liTany fortunes have been spent on worthless claims, while valuable prop- erties are often ignored for years, until V nance or education reveals their val- ue. •
There are few mines for the poor man. It takes money to operate on a scale commensurate with the busi- ness involved. It is a common saying lhat "mines are made, not found." Ig- norance and insufficient means, are the two rocks upon which many mining .-nterprises have b^en wrecked.
Many valuable claims can be bought for a small sum. Often the controll- ing interest can be obtained without other consideration than an agreement to do a certain amount of development w ork, sufficient to demonstrate the val- ue of the property. Conditions are now favorable for working many n:ines, abandoned years ago. when fa-
cilities for transportation, or for the treatment of certain classes of ore, did not exist.
The association is formed to "pros- pect for prospects"— to secure an ex- haustive investigatioin and conserva- tive reports upon mines and mineral lands, and to locate, purchase, or oth- erwise acquire such as prove of value, and to develope, operate and sell; also to buy and sell real estate, to buy, sell and deal in minerals, gems, rocks, ores and metals, and general merchan- dise, when found desirable, to erect smelters, mills and factories, and to engage in other business that may further its aims.
The success of the enterprise de- pends greatly upon the ability, judg- ment and honesty of the managers — l»oints of vital interest to the intrndin^r investor. Economical. int lligent,
honest effort will win success. No of- fers of "a sure thing", no big promises of things uncertain of accomplis'.a- ment. will mar the simple statem.ent of faith in legitimate mining as a bus- iness. Hundreds of claims may be ex- amined before one of true worth is found, but a single success will atu-.- dantly reimburse the association f o • many failures. By keeping in touch with the mineral industries in Europe and America, and employing the ser- vices of specialists of known reputa- tion, the expensive experiences and failures due to ignorance should be avoided.
A capital stock of half a mil'icn shares, of the par value of $1.00 each, sold only at par, and the proceeds ap- plied in an economical manner wholly in furtherance of these plans, should
^
Golden Hints
place the association on a firm finan- cial basis.
SubscriDtions of from one to one hundred dollars per month aie invited, lo terminate whenever the ass'essed value of the property of the associa- tion shall equal its capital stock, all unsold shares to be then wlthdravim from sale. All stock will thus be fully paid and nonassessable.
It is the desire of the association to keep in close touch with prospectors and discoverers of valuable n i leral deposits. It is not the intention to employ or "grub stake" prospectors, or to purchase with stock properties of unknown value at fictitious prices. The aim instead is to faci iate the de- velopment aad utilisation of proper i^s of merit. Thus it is hoped to earn an interest in valuable mines, or acquire by purchase at moderate cost, prop- erties that from a lack of means or a limited knowledge, might otherwise re- m3in untouched. The association wi 1 also act as brokers for the owners of developed mines. In this way the in- terests of the prospector, the mine owner, and the investor, may be b3st efficiently served.

METALS AND OR^IS.
ANTIMONY— An ore carrying about 38 to 40 per cent of this metal, and from $5 to $30 per ten in gold, occurs near San Diego, and awaits development.
CAESIUM — A rare metal contained in minute quantities in lepidolite. It would prove useful if an available sup- ply existed.
LITHIUM.— Amblygonite, lepidoli te, spodumene, and triphylite are the prin- cipal ores of this rare metal, the light- est known.
PLATINUVI.— The constantly in^ creasing demand for this widely dis-
tributed metal in the arts and manufec. tures of the world, and the present liin. ited sources of supply, have in receni years greatly enhanced its price; abjiu 80 per cent, of the present supply is de- rived from the alluvial deposits of Uie Ural mountains, but there are few i any of the gold-bearing gravel beds cf the world that have failed to yie'd th's metal. Platinum ore is usually found in the form of rounded or flattened grain or "sand," occasionally in irrega- lar lumps of the size of peas; large nug- gets are very rare — the largest as yd found v/eighing 21 pounds. The largei-'t ever found in America weighed nearly 2 pounds.
QUICKSILVER.— Cinnabar is the principal ore.
RUBIDIUM— One of the rare metals, more precious than gold, occurs as a by-product of the lithia mines.
MINERALS.
Twelve years ago the writer contrib- uted to the San Diego Union a brief an- no'tated list of the minerals then known in San Diego county. The county has since been divided into two, but more, rather than less, territory is now trib- utary to San Diego, hence the present list will not be confined to the arbitrary limits of the county, but to the terri- tory naturally tributary to our bay.
ACHROITE (colorless tourmaline) — Of gem quality, has been discovered in San Diego county, California, associat- ed with other lithia tourmalines.
ACTINOLITE — Abundant in the Colorado desert.
AGATE — Occurs in various forms in Southern California, but not in com- mercial quantity. The world's supply is principally received from Uruguay and Brazil, which is mainly cut and polished in Germany.
ALABASTER— An abundance of ap- parently good quality of this form of gypsum occurs on the Colorado desert, and in Baja California.
ALLANITE— Named for T. Allen, who discovered it among minerals from East Greenland, contains the rare metals cerium, didymium. glucinum, lanthanum, and yttrium, together with alumina, silica, lime, and iron, with traces of magnesium, manganese, soda.
Golden Hints
copper, and water. This occurs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and in Southern California.
ALMANDITE— Red garnets are not rare in the California placer mines. Some few crystals of gem value have been produced in San Bernardino county; the finest having been valued as high as $50 apiece. In the placer mines in Lower California the garnets were formerly saved, and sold for $5 per pound — being popularly called rubies — like the garnets of Arizona and New Mexico, which are said to be much superior to the "Cape Rubies" by artificial light.
ALUM — See kalinite.
AMAZONSTONE— A beautiful semi- precious stone of the feldspar group; the finest specimens of which come from Pike's Peak, Colorado. Has been reported from Baja California, but I have seen no specimens in proof.
AMBER — See succinite.
AMBLYGONITE — Associated with lepidolite in the lithia mines of the county.
AMETHYST— Deep purple, bluish violet fading almost into pink, crystl- line variety of quartz. Colorado yields many fine specimens. May be expected to occur in some of the mines of the Colorado desert.
ANGLESITE— Sulphate of lead has been reported from the Colorado de?ert in some abundance; composition about 73.6 per cent aside of lead, and 26.4 per cent sulphuric acid.
ANTONITE— A talc-like mineral, discovered in a copper mine at San An- u)nio, BaJa California, not far from Todos Santos bay. It was formerly shipped to New York and used in the manufacture of decorative papers.
ARGENTITE— Silver glance is com- posed of about 87.7 per cent silver and 12.9 per cent sulphur. One of the most valuable of silver ores.
APATITE— Phosphate of lime has been reported from the property of the ^an Jacinto tin mining company.
ASBESTOS— A four-foot vein seven miles east of Elsinore, Cal., has been v.orked to a considerable extent, and the product manufactured into boiler covering, etc. Other deposits exist in the mountains bordering the Colorado vl'c'^sert on the west, but the demand on
this coast seems not to justify their development at present.
ASPHALTUM — Occurs native at var- ious points along the coast from San Diego northward. California produced in 1896 enarly 75,000 tons, worth about half a million dollars.
ATACAMITE— A native exychloride of copper, originally found in the form of sand, in the desert of Atacama, be- tween Chili and Peru. A specimen re- ceived of Emiliano Ybarra from a mine near Calmalli, Baja California, is identified as this species.
AZURITE— "Mountain blue" (blue carbonate of copper) occurs sparingly in some of the copper mines of South- ern California. One of the most beau- tiful of copper ores, magnificent speci- mens of which have been produced by the copper mines of Arizona. Compo- sition about 69.2 per cent copper oxide. 25.6 per cent carbonic acid, and 5.2 per cent water.
BARITE — Barytes or heavy spar is composed of about 65.7 per cent baryta and 34.3 per cent of sulphuric acid. The present supply in the United States is excessive of the demand.
BERYLS— Quite equal to those f oni the Ural mountains have been produc?d in Maine and North Carolina. Their occurrence in San Diego county has re- cently been predicted.
BRAZILIAN EMERALD— The em- blem of the Brazilian clergy, is not an < emerald proper, but a green colored tourmaline. A few green tourmalines have been found in San Diego county, in the lithia mine at Pala. and in sev- eral other localities, some of them of the finest gem quality. One beautiful specimen' showing a perfectly flai termination, is banded green at the end. then a band of achroite shadins^ into rubellite where fractured. An- other specimen is green at the center, with a thin outer crust of black.
BIOTITE— Black mica occurs in various localities in Southern Cali- fornia and in Baja California.
BOLEITE — A rare mineral described from the copper mines at Santa Ros- alia, Baja California, on the west coast of the Gulf of California. Occurs in perfect cubes.
BORAX — Originally obtained from a lake in Thibet; composition about 36.6
Golden Hints
8
psr cent boric acid, 16.2 per cent soda, and 47.2 per cent water. Of a white color, sometimes grayish, or with a shade of blue and green. The deserts of California and Nevada produce an- ■ nually about half a million dollars' vforth, the product in 1896 being 13,- 508,000 pounds, worth $675,400.
CALCITS— Carbonate of lime, con-,; sisting; of lime and carbonic acid. Rliombohedial in crystalization. In- cludes marble, limestone, calcareous- tufa, etc. The cement rock of San Diego county (notably in Jamul valey) is a form of calcite, especially adapted for the manufacture of cement. Thino- lite, occuring on the Colorado desert, is another forni.
Limestone occurs abundantly in var- ious places in Southern California, and is mined at Colton and San Jacinto.
Marble occurs in San Diego county in various colors, but the quarries are as yet wholly undeveloped. Some deli- cate yellow marbis — the most highly \y\zed color among the ancients — cc- * 'iv3 en the Colore do desert.
Ophiolyte, or Verd-Antique marble, occurs on the Mojave desert, where large quarries cf this beautiful and higly prized ornamental stone have been partially developed.
CASSITERITE — fin stone from Cornwall, England, is composed of 78.6 per cent tin, and 21.4 per cent oxygen. It occurs in the Black Hills, South Da- kota, at Temescal, Riverside county, California, and near San Diego. The tv/o latter localities may yield speci- mens equal to that from Durango, Mexico, which is polished as a gsm.
CERARGYRITB — "Horn silver"
'hloride of silver), composed of about . 5.3 per cent silver, and 24.7 per cent c'llorine, v/eighs 345 pounds per cubic toot, 5.8 cubic feet making a ton.
CHALCEDONY — An uncrystalized 1 :a,nslucent or clouded variety of "'lartz, white, yellow, brown or blue (usually whitish), having a luster u-arly like v/ax. When arranged in stripes or layers of different colors it constitutes agate; and if the stripes are a'l horizontal, it is called onyx. Portions of the Colorado desert in San Diego county are strewn with water- worn f "a.r:.;ments f f chalcedony of rUffer- f nt colors, acres of the mesa-like form- ation, m-dv the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico, beii:>g covered with pebbles of every con- ceivable color and as smoothly laid us a piece of mosaic work.
CHALCOPYRITE — Copper pyrites exist in large deposits in Baja Califo - nia, and a mine of this ore is now b?- ing developed near Encinitas. '' CHRYSOCOLLA— Silicate of coppe % 'composed of 45.2 per cent copper oxide, 34.3 per cent silica, and 20.5 per cent water. Beautiful specimens of this ore occur on the Colorado desert, near the Colorado river, and in Lower Cal- ifornia. It is sometimes mistaken for turpucise.
CHRYSOPRASE- Visalia, Cal., yield?
-The ■ locality nea" d to the value 6 1"
$400 in 1896, more than half of it for rest for specimens, is a translucent, pale or yellow-green chalced-
cutting, the Chrysoprase" bluish-green ony.
CINNABAR— Composition 86.2 pe^ cent mercury, 13,8 per cent sulphur, weighing 549 pounds per cubic feet pei' ton. This is the principal ore cf quirk- silver, and has been reported from Riverside and San Diego counties, but I have seen no specimens in proof. The writer has five specimens from two dis- tinct soifrces, alleged to have been found in Baja California. The in- dustry in this county is practicalh/ con- fined to California, the product in 1895 being reported worth over one million dollers.
CORUNDUM— Reported from Los Angeles county by Dana.
CUPRITE— Red oxide of copp-r; reel copper; reported from the Colorado desert.
CYANITE— -Large quantities of small crystals occur in the Cargo Muchacha district, on the Colorado desert. None of gem value have been yet dis- covered.
DENDRITE — "Footprints of the fern"; some beautiful specimens have been collected on the Majave desert, by Mr. Ira J. Gray.
DIAMOND — A small stone was re- ported in 1S9S as having been found in Baja California, about 50 miles south of Ensenada. Diamonds have not been found in such numbers and size in California as to render the search for them profitable, but no serious pros- pecting for them has yet been attempt-

den as occuring 25 miles from Ogilby, on' the Colorado desert.
EPIDOTE— The United States pro- duced $250 worth of this semi-precious'' stone in 1895. Crystals in masses have been obtained by the writer near the Alamo, and associated with crystals of calcite from near the coast south of Santo Tomas, Baja California.
ERYTHRITE— Occurs at the Kelsey mine, near Compton, Los Angeles county, Cal,, associated with an ore of silver and of cobalt in dark colored earthy m.asses in a gangue of heavy spar. This occurrence was noted in 1881, and is described in the report of the state mineralogist for 1882, page 207, and in the fourth report, page 279.
FLUORITE— Colorado desert, in a massive form.
GALENA — Lead sulphide, composed of about 86.6 per cent lead, and 13.4 per cent sulphur, is one of the heaviest known ores, v/eighing 461 pounds per cubic foot, 4.34 cubic feet making a ton. It occurs in considerable' abund- ance in some portions of the Colorado desert, carrying a greater or less quant- ity of gold and silver.
GARNET— See Almandite.
GILSONITE— A hydrocarbm, report- ed from Utah and Southern California,
GRAPHITE— Plumbago or black leal is a carbon like the diamond, with irome iron oxide and clay. A good (niality of this mineral occurs near the Jacumba valley, in San Diego county, California, in some abundance, but re- mains undeveloped. It also occurs in other parts of the country, but not in sufficient quantities to be of any com- mercial importance.
GYPSUM— Sulphate of lime, when lUilverized the plaster of paris, of com- merce; when crystalized known as selenite; the finer granular variety is l.nown as alabaster. Composed of about ;^2.5 per cent lime, 46.6 per cent sul- i huric acid and 20.9 per cent water. Very abundant near Riverside, on the Colorado desert and Baja California.
HALITE— The salt fields of the Colo- rado desert, of San Quintin bay, and of Scammons Lagoon, Baja California,
ensure San Diego an abun^Iant supply aside from her ov/n product, and prom- ise to add considerably to our com- merce.
HEMATITE— This iron ore occurs sparingly on the Colorado desert, in greater abundance on the Majave des- ert and in Baja California, where the v/riter obtained some fine ^specimens of hematite in quartz in the Santo Tomas valley.
HYALITE, or Muller's glass— A var- iety of opal, is described by T. Beck as occurring in Beaver valley, Utah. A fine quality of this stone occurs near San Diego.
INDICOLITE— Blue tourmalines aie reported as occuring in San Diego county.
ITACOLUMNITE — Flexible sand- stone has been reported from the Jacumba valley, but has not been seen by the writer.
JASPER— Baja California.
JET — A fine black jet. evidently in some quantity, is reported from the vi- cinity of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
KALINITE — Alum occurs in consid- erable abundance in the sulphur mines of Baja California, especially in the region of the Cocopah mountains.
KAOLINITE— The kaolin found at Cajon mountain, now being independ- ently tested by the ovrners of the num- erous claims, has attract3d c .ns!de:'ably attention, and so far seems to meet with favor. An analysis by H. Boedt- ker & Co., gave the following result: Silica, 62.30 per cent; alumina, 20.50 per cent: iron (trace) .00 per cent; lime, 2.20 per cent; magnesia, .25 per cent; water) 11.60 per cent: moisture, 3.10 per cent. Rational analysis: Clav substance, 67.2 per cent; feldspar, 15.6 per cent; quartz, 17.2 per cent.
LEPIDOLITE — Lithia mica occurs in an immense deposit near the old mis- sion at Pala — probably the largest and richest lithia mine in the world — upon which about $4,000 were expended in development work during 1809. Lithia of American production — the product of this mine — was for the first time placed upon the market, and thus a new Amei'ican industry inaugurated at the close of the century.
LIGNITE— A vein 4 feet thick, 12 miles north of San Diego, was reported by Dr. Le Conte years ago, but seems

to have been since lost sight of and re- mains undeveloped.
LIMESTONE— About 11.5 cubic feet weigh a ton, or 174 pounds to the cubic foot. See calcite.
MAGNETITE— Occurs eight or nine miles north of Mesquite station, on the Colorado desert. I have also found magnetic iron ore in the mountains north of Salton; in the Encantada mine near Alamo (rich in gold), in the Santo Tomas valley, and at San Ysidro, Baja California.
MALACHITE— Green carbonate of copper, composed of about 71.9 per cent copper oxide, 19.9 per cent car- bonic acid and 8.2 per cent v^ater, forms the most beautiful of coppar ores, at times becoming a semi-precious stone. The finest specimens are probably- found in the Ural mountains, but mag- nificent masses have been mined in Arizona, and it usually occurs in cop- per mines where azurite, chrysosolla or cuprite are present, in the Colorado and Mojave deserts, and in Baja Cali- fornia.
MICA — The mica of commerce is a form of muscovite, but no mine in San Diego county has yet become a pro- ducer. See biotite, lepidolite, and muscovite.
MOLYBDENITE— Composed of 60 per cent molybdenum and 40 per cent of sulphur; a soft, black lustrous, foliated mineral, often mistaken for graphite. Occurs sparingly in granitic veins near the Jamul and Jacumba valleys and at Campo, in San Diego county, and in Baja California, but not yet known to occur in this region in paying quantity. The United States produced this min- eral for the first time commercially in 1898 — about 10 tons, worth $50 per ton.
MUSCOVITE— Common throughout the granitic formations.
ORTHOCLASE— Feldsper is not rare near Eallena, and occurs at Julian and in Baja California in considerable Quantity, and of a quality suitable for the manufacture of fine ware.
OBiSIDIAN — Reported to occur in im- mense quantities near the head of the Gulf of Cortes, in Baja California. I have found small fragments in San Diego county, evidently brought from a disiRiife by the Indians, who valued volcanic glass for the manufacture of arrow and spear points.
OPAL — ^Occurs on the Colorado des- ert, and also credited to the limits ol the city of San Diego, but only the in- ferior varieties are yet known in Cali- fornia. Banded opal has been describ • ed as occurring in Beaver valley, Utah, some three miles from. Granite Peak. See hyalite.
PECTOLITE^"A silicate of alumi- num, calcium, and natrium." Has bee i reported as occurring in Southern Cal- ifornia.
PERIDOT— New Mexico.
PLATINUM— This metal is found on- ly in metalic condition, sometimes al- loyed with iridium or osmium. A nu^,- get weighing nearly two pounds (only 2%x3 inches in size) from Colombia, South America, has been reported as the largest in America, with an in- trinsic value of $350. It contained 85 per cent pure platinum and 15 per cent of gold, palladium and rhodium, and had a bluish-white lustre. Thin metal is almost as soft as copper and as ductile as gold. It can be rolled so thin that a thousand sheets in a pile would not exceed an inch in height.
PLUMBAGO— See graphite.
PREHNITE— San Ysidro, Baja Cali- fornia, associated with calcite.
QUARTZ— A cubic foot weighs 162 pounds, 12.34 cubic feet making a ton. Occurs in an endless number of varie- ties. See agate, carnelian, chalcedony, jasper, etc.
Rose quartz in magnificent masses has been found by the writer near Mesa Grande.
Silicified wood occurs in various parts of San Diego county, but in the greatest abundance and variety on the Colorado desert; while Arizona is note! for its Chalcedony park, where an en- tire forest is preserved in a beautiful agatized form.
Diatomaceous earth occurs on the sea coast near San Diego.
RHODONITE— "Between San Diego and Colton."
RUBELLITE— Beautiful radiations and masses of crystals of pink tourma- line occur in the lepidolite at Pala. A few crystals of gem quality, resembling those from the Isle of Elbe have besn found in the county. The largest crystals measure two inches in di- ameter.

MOHAVE DESERT IRON MINES.
In May, 1882, the writer first visited the region Icnown as the Mohave des- ert, in San Bernardino county, Cali- fornia, and found it to be in fact a de- lightful garden, filled with a great va- riety of brilliantly colored flowers. The usually leafless and thorny shrubs were a mass of deep indigo flowers, while each open space displayed a bed of del- icate annuals unknown to more favored localities.
The mountains on either hand of the Cajon Pass were still covered partially with snow, darkened with the masses of evergreen — spruce, cedar and pine, which render these peaks a delight in summer to the pleasure seeker.
The tree yucca, the wild datile, and 19-rge quantities of juniper, growing over a large part of these slopes, ren- der the name desert somewhat of a misnomer; as one leaves the base ot the mountains, however, large areas of very uninteresting country — from a horticultural standpoint — are met with, but the wealth of its minerals will be found a redeeming character.
About 16 miles due south from a point midway between Newberry and Hazlitt stations, 275 miles from San Diego, Cal., and 180 miles from Los An- geles, Cal., by the Santa Fe route, oc- curs probably the larg-est deposit of iron ores on the Pacific Coast. It is ^'ariou!?ly estimated by conservative men that fifty to one hundred million t':ins of niag-netic and hematite ores lie fbove and convenient to a suitable railv/ay grade, which can be quarried rather than mined — if we restrict the word mining to the English sense ot underground workings.
The writer is indebted to Mr. H. C. Cordon, of San Diego, Cal., one of the owners in this vast property, for many of the facts here presented concerning the Bessemer Iron District, the 320 acres of patented lands covering the more valuab.e and accessible portions of this remarkable body of ores.
The chief chemist of the U. S. Geo- logical Survey, after an examination of the m ner-^ etite, says: "A very high srarle of mag-netic ore with but a trace cf tit'iniuin."
Prof. Pierce de P. Ricketts, the well
known ex-chief of the school of mines and metallurgy, of Columbia Colleg-, New York, secured the following r-'- sults from an examination made for th-* following elements only: Metalic iro >. 68.48: Manganese, .038; Sulphur, .076; Titanium, .02; Phosphorus, (trace) p. r centum.
Prof. AVoulfe, chemist of the Unio;i Iron Works, San Francisco, Cal., se- cured the following results from a car load each of the Magnetite (M) an:I Hematite (H): Sesqui oxide of iron, M 68.8, H 81.94; Proto oxide of iron, M 25 .5, H 8.28; Alumina, M 2.843, H 3.24; Man- ganese oxide, M .52, H .43; Lime, M .7 J, H .82; Magnesia, M 3.83, H 3.18; Phos- phorus anhydride, M .013, H .086; Su ■ phur, M .038, H .47; Silica, M .845, IT .061 per centuin.
Samples of surface ores from all the workings, aggregating 50 lbs., gave: Iron, 66.25; Silica, 1.65; Lime, 1.35; Mag- nesia, 3 33; Sulphur. .031; Phosphoric- acid, .554; Tatanic acid, 0; Alumina. .81, Manganese, .25; Iron poroxide, 72.21; Iron proto oxide, 20.16; Manganese ox- ide, .39; and Phosphorus, .024 per cent. (analysis by Mr. Curry, of Pittsburg, Pa).
There is an abundance of good watek at the junction of a proposed railway to the mines with the Santa Fe, and a good supply can probably be developed on or near the property. A uniform grade of one (not to exceed three) per cent., with no cuts, fills or expensive bridging makes a connection with the existing rai'roads comparative y easy of accomplishment. The cost of min- ing the ore is estimated not to exceed 50 cents per ton f. o. b., and freight to tide water, $2 per ton. Fuel and tim- ber can be obtained in large quantities from the mountains in sight, estimated to be about 8 miles away.
TJie 9th and 11th reports of the Cal- ifornia state inineralogist give very able and conservative estimates of the quantity and cjuaiity of the ore bodies.
The recent discovery of oil at Victor, on the Mohave desert, should hasten the development of our latent iron in- dustries, which have lain dormant for an abnormal period, owing in part to the death of one of the owners in these iron lands.

PALMS.
ERTTHE.\ ARMATA Watson.
The Tecos grandes is the fruit of the beautiful blue palm of Lower Cali- fornia, and forms an important article of food with the Indians, ripening in July and August. The fruit is the size of a common marble, with sweet mealy pulp surrounding the large stone C Vz inche in diameter). The tree grows 40 feet high, bearing its fan-shaped srlaucous leaves in a very graceful manner. This palm was first found in the Cantillas canyon. Lower Cali- fornia, which opens out onto the Colo- rado derest, by Dr. Edward Palmer.
Dr. J. N. Rose has since found it in Mexico, east of Mazatlan, I believe. Tlie seeds require from six montiis to three years in which to germinate — the older seeds germinating more quickly than when fresh from the tree. I have had them germinate readily when over ten years old. PIJOENIX CANARIENSIS Hort.
