As mentioned in this department last week, an attempt is now being made to locate a glass factory in Orange county, the Santa Fe Railroad having stated that Investigations of glass sand in that county had been found satisfactory, and that inducements were being offered to glas manufacturers to locate there. The bed of sand is located near San Juan Capistrano and is said to be comparatively unlimited in size.

As to the market for glass in Southern California, it is said that about-135 carloads of glassware are used annually in this section. This comprises fruit, milk and pickle jars, lamp chimneys, druggists' supplies and wine and beer bottles.
