"
About
three
fourths
of
all
the
lime
that
comes
to the
San
Francisco
Market
, and
one
third
of
all
that
is
produced
in the
State
,
is
made
in the
vicinity
of
Felton
and
Santa
Cruz
,
where
the
facilities
for
manufacturing
and
shipping
this
article
are
extremely
good
. The
stone
here,
besides
being
plentiful
and of the
best
kind
,
can
easily
be
quarried
.
Wood
and
water
are
abundant
, and
shipments
can
be
made
either
by
rail
(the
South
Pacific
Coast
Railroad
running
within
a
mile
of the
quarries)
, or by
vessels
through
the
port
of
Santa
Cruz
twelve
miles
distant
from
Felton
. From the
redwood
trees
that
abound
in the
neighborhood
a
good
barrel
can
be
cheaply
made
for
putting
up
the
lime.
