The track leads from the slaughter room, along the covered passage- way before referred to, to the cooling room, where it makes a turn and leads back, parallel with the incoming portion, to the starting point, forming a continuous track in the shape of an extended loop. Another set of tracks arranged similarly connects the pork-room in this building with the packing

department. Just inside the cooling-room door is a system of switches, by means of which the meat is run into or out of the beef-room or pork-room as desired. Here also the dressed meat is weighed, the movable portions of the tracks forming the switches, being connected with a Fairbanks scale. This scale is what might be called a reversed platform scale, the graduated arm and pea being beneath the weight instead of above it. At the door of the cooling-room the wagon road cuts across and under the covered passage and consequently under the tracks, so that the beeves, etc., may be run out on the tracks and lowered from the hooks directly into wagons for transportation to the market.
The pork-packing department, which adjoins the slaughter room and occupies the entire east half of the main building, is the only establishment of the kind in the State outside of San Francisco. It is patterned after the celebrated Chicago packing houses, and is fitted with all the latest appliances. It contains a full tanking outfit for lard and tallow, a capacious smoke house, immense brine vats and numerous other necessities for the curing and packing of provisions.
Outside the building are the elevated tanks supplied with water which is piped 2,000 feet from an artesian well about 20 feet deep, situated on the high ground on the other side of the county road. They are provided with valves and pipes connected with the sewers, which allows of a ten-inch column of water with a fall of thirty feet being forced through the various sewers.
In addition to the main market the firm have several butcher shops in various parts of the city and county, all under the same general management, and which are supplied with meats by the central market. The Russ Market is especially connected by telephone with Russ, Early & Williams of Ferndale, and the Mazeppa Ranch on Bear River ridge.
HUMBOLDT NURSERIES
Mr. Stewart is one of the most enterprising and progressive nurserymen in California. He also is one of the leading spirits in the advancement of the fruit- growing interests of Humboldt. Horticulture in its best state is one of the factors in the production of prosperity and purity in home, business and social life. When people begin to develop this feature under favorable conditions of soil and climate, it augurs well for that community. Apparently no one cares, except the individual concerned, whether or not there is money in horticulture, but all thoughtful persons should cultivate encouragement in fruit-growing, and herald to the people abroad these Italies of beauty and excellent horticultural enterprises, that lay hidden for so many years among our valleys and hills. In a little while hence the present efforts in horticulture will be more highly appreciated. The full development of this industry in Humboldt will some day take the scepter of power forever from the redwoods and their lumber. Things are beautifully changing from those of twenty years ago. The tendency prevailed at that time to discourage the small farmer and fruit.grower. Capitalists conquered

and controlled the land, but slowly the profits of the large rancher lessened, and to-day the small farm, dairy and orchard in our midst is becoming the Humboldt ideal. The county is thoroughly adapted for raising fruit, cereals, vegetables, flowers and nuts. In a few years more horticulture will outrank all other pursuits.
In view of these mammoth facts Mr. Stewart established in 1886 the Humboldt Nurseries. He selected one of the most natural and favorable spots in the county, amidst picturesque scenery and running streams of pure and fresh water. Being a practical and scientific nurseyman, (educated to the business under his father's care, who was before him the most successful nurseryman in the country) Mr. Stewart at once divided his land, and on one side of the main stream he cultivated what is known as the "North Nursery," and on the other the "South Nursery," in the operation of his vast business, this will prove of great importance.
The photographic sketch in this work brings to view the South Nursery, while the North Nursery lies beyond the line of trees skirting the edge of Strong's Creek, which divides the two, and more fully explains the harmonious positions these nurseries occupy. The situation, position and location of the "Humboldt Nurseries" is grandly picturesque. It lies immediately adjacent to the famous Campton Park and pleasure resort, one- fourth of a mile from Rohnerville Station, on a line with the Eel River & Eureka Railroad, and 22 miles south of Eureka. A lovlier or more central point could not have been selected; experience and mature judgment served Mr. Stewart faithfully when he purchased this valuable property and established the Humboldt Nurseries.
While irrigation is entirely unnecessary in this locality, or for that matter in the county. The nurseries are, however, largely supplied with running streams and brooklets. The most noticeable of these streams is Strong's Creek, whose head-waters are situated five miles above Newburg-a lumbering town.
Some light boating and fishing are frequently engaged in on this creek at proper seasons. There are other streams-the Campton and Jameson creeks. These waters are all tributaries of the famous Eel river. These refreshing streams are beautifully lined with a flourishing growth of willow, alder and cottonwood. The back-ground of the nurseries consists of artistic slopes, the higher elevations containing a natural and elegant growth of shrubbery, and in the far distance loom up magnificent mountain peaks, bringing to view a panoramic vision that the eye is seldom greeted with. The effect is enchanting and one reviews with wonderment the achievements of nature. It is unnecessary to remark that the Humboldt Nurseries are an established success The demand for leading species of fruit plants of every description is greater than Mr. Stewart is at times able to supply. One not in the business would hardly credit these facts. When casting his eye over acres of rows of young fruit plants and shoots of various sizes and descriptions, imaginatiou would largely assist the eye and conceive the supply sufficient for a demand unlimited.

A noticeable feature in Mr. Stewart's care and management deserves special mention. He never grafts upon side roots or shoots. Mr. Stewart works every plant on whole or seedling stock. Only perfect, sound and vigorous plants are permitted to leave his nurseries. This established rule is never violated, since he superintends every departure of plants personally. Purchasers can unhesitatingly rely upon his judgment and integrity. He offers the largest and most complete assortment of fruit trees on the Pacific Coast. We would call especial attention to his extra fine stock of Apricots, French Prunes, Apples, Almond, Pear and Cherry trees, grown without irrigation. As a man of energy and enterprise Mr. Stewart gained the esteem of his fellow-men and merits success.
THE JOHN VANCE ORCHARD
A Pomological Society was founded fifty years ago, not only to unite the fruit- growers of the country socially, but to be of practical utility in collecting and classifying the knowledge of different fruits gained in the separate localities. In Southern Alabama the fig is grown to perfection and yields enormously. In Florida the cultivation of the citrus fruits is the absorbing industry. Every variety of orange is at home. But California with its diversified climate leads the van in horticulture. This is not merely a beautiful compliment to the Golden State, but practical results have fully demonstrated the fact presented. Humboldt county is swinging into line as one of the leading fruit-growing districts in California. Until about sixteen years ago the Hon. John Vance supposed that after the redwood timber had been removed from .the land in Humboldt county it would be abandoned and return to its original wildness. Many others supposed the same thing. Exceptional parties are even now met with who boldly exclaim, "remove the redwood and the bottom will drop out of Humboldt." Happily a brighter and more promising future is dawning for this county.
-
Fifteen years ago Mayor Vance planted about 100 acres in solid orchard with the choicest and most select fruit plants of various kinds. His experience has been vast and scientific. The orchard lies about ten miles inland from the coast shore on Mad river. The location is protected from the trade winds and yet the air is vigorous in sufficient quantity to grow the most delicious flavored and perfect apples, peaches, pears and silver prunes in the world. For grapes, oranges, figs and limes Mr. Vance says Southern Humboldt and the hills are better suited for their growth.
Mr. Vance never expected any beneficial result from his investment, but the experiment has proven a practical success. He feels gratified in having the early impression of the county's unfruitfulness (excepting redwood) removed. The knowledge that Humboldt is favored with the prospect of a fruit-raising industry is to Mr. Vance a liberal recompense for his experimental indulgence. Mr. Orth, the Superintendent of Mr. Vance's orchard, a practical and educated horticulturist, claims a very promising fruit-growing future for Humboldt. It will be an industry that the man of small means can engage in, and by following in the line of early

experiments make specialties of such fruit as seems to thrive best in certain localities. Success must be the unquestionable result. Mr. Vance is of the opinion that about $100 per acre can be cleared on proper kinds of fruit, or $10,000 on a one hundred-acre orchard.
These facts as herein mentioned can be verified without any reasonable contradiction. The assertions that Humboldt county will prove one of the leading fruit districts is practically demonstrated in the success Mr. Vance has achieved in the horticultural line.

MOUNTAIN GLEN SPRINGS
These springs are situated near Rohnerville, five miles from that place in a northerly direction, and one-half mile from the dividing ridge between Salmon creek and Strong's creek, on the south side of the ridge, in a basin formed by a slide in the mountains. This basin is circular in form, and is about fifty rods in diameter, having an elevation of about 1,200 feet above the sea level. In this basin are two mineral springs, some fifty yards apart. The water rises perpendicularly. In spring No. I is a wooden pipe three feet in diameter at the bottom and twenty-two inches at the top. This pipe is sixteen feet long, with eight feet of iron pipe at the top, making its entire length twenty-four feet. In spring No. 2 the pipe is all wood, four feet in diameter at the bottom, three feet at the top, and eight feet long, making the water in No. I twenty-four feet deep, and in No. 2 eight feet. The waters in these springs, although in the same basin, prove, by analysis, to be very different. But one is as desirable as the other. The waters differ in color also, No. I having a clay, or milky color, while No. 2 is perfectly clear. The gas rises in each at intervals of three or four minutes. The waters of these springs are used for different diseases. The springs were discovered in 1874 by some men sent out for water by Dr. T. D. Felt, the owner of the property. They returned stating that the water was "bad tasting," which led to an investigation by Dr. Felt, who discovered the valuable medicinal qualities of the water. The water is pleasant to the taste and of a decidedly saline flavor, or to be more thoroughly understood, like soda. At intervals of a few minutes an effusion of gas takes place, which bubbles quite furiously and then gradually subsides, almost entirely ceasing. This gas. seems to be of a chloritic nature, having a faint, greenish-blue flame when ignited. It gives no soot or sediment and leaves no odor, and burns clearly and brighly. Dr. Felt used to place a burner over it and the gas would remain lighted the entire night. The place is under the management of Mr. T. D. Felt, Jr., son of Dr. Felt, The hotel and cottages at the springs provide accommodations for fifty or sixty guests. The former hotel which could accommodate over double that number was burned in 1876. This is a most enjoyable place for those seeking quiet and rest. The air

EUREKA FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP
Among the important industries of Humboldt, the Eureka Foundry and Machine Shop occupies a deserved prominence. It is one of the fixed institutions of the county, and fills a very necesssary and beneficial position, surrounded as it is by mills and manufactories on every side In point of thorough equipment and preparation for the dispatch of all business, either in the way of new work or of repairing, this establishment is on a par with any shop of larger cities. This fact is becoming thoroughly appreciated by the mill and factory owners of this section, who are placing most of their orders with these works. The success that attends this establishment is entirely due to the energy of Messrs. N. H. and S. F. Pine, proprietors. Of these gentlemen the former is the practical business manager, while Mr. S. F. Pine, who is the well-known and popular dairyman of Bucksport, is a silent partner.
Mr. N. H. Pine is a practical molder and a man of extended experience. In the three years that he has been running the Eureka Foundry and Machine Shop he has built up a large and lucrative business co-extensive with this section of the state. He keeps from fifteen to twenty skilled and reliable mechanics constantly at work in the different departments, and the firm has attained a high reputation for superior workmanship and promptitude. Mr. Pine has won for himself confidential business relations and social popularity. He has held the position of Councilman for the Second Ward of Eureka, where his executive abilities were favorably displayed. He is a native of the Green Mountain State-Vermont- (a State, only three times as large as Humboldt). The youthful Pine desired more room. The fame of Bodie and its mammoth enterprises induced him to cast his lot with the Christian-spirited denizens of that progressive community. After placing the Bodie factories in running gear he landed in Reno, from Reno to San Francisco, and finally to Humboldt. Here he cast a plant that has proven successful beyond expectation. Since Mr. Pine has taken possession of this institution he has worked a perfect revolution. New machinery and accessories of the most improved make have been procured. One or two that deserves special mention are a large drill press and a turning lathe, etc. The premises have been enlarged, the buildings have been prepared more commodiously to facilitate the increasing business. To assist in forming an idea of the magnitude of the business, it will only be necessary to state that about sixteen tons of castings per month are turned out. The writer had the pleasure of a personal inspection of the plant, and while it needs no irrigation to perpetuate its growth, it nevertheless requires the sweat of much honest toil to gather the reward.

x - 3-3- EUREKA SOAP WORKS
Humboldt county has no other similar establishment in her midst, which fact makes it the more pleasurable to grant space in this work. In the manufacture of a superior quality of soap it requires skilled labor, first-class machinery and pure as well as fresh materials. Jameson & Cochrane have endeavored to supply the standard accessories, in the production of a home family soap, of superior quality. The result has been a signal success: their factory and store are filled to repletion, in a neat and attractive minner. The fine display made of choice family laundry and fancy soaps is unsurpassed by many larger establishments. Interior trades- people would especially favor their patrons by sending for a test order, and thus be convinced of the reliability of the establishment. Messrs. Jameson & Cochrane manufacture a full line of staple and fancy soaps from fresh and pure ingredients. Acids, ground glass and clay so extensively employed in the manufacture of soaps are never used by these gentlemen Where dealers do not keep soap manufactured by Messrs. Jameson & Cochrane, parties will do well to send direct to the factory. All orders will receive prompt and satisfactory attention.
