CEDAR MINING DISTRICT.
Fifty-five miles by rail northeast from Los Angeles, on the line of the S. P. R. R., is the Cedar Mining District, the principal village being about the railway station called Acton. In the low hills about Acton, which rise out of the valley that skirts the northern base of the San Gabriel range of mountains, are located the gold mines which have been worked for many years by Mexicans and Americans.
