Indepeadant Beige, writes:
10 mention retrospective but curl
Gus fact | am positively assured to-day
that the Prince de Joinville received in.
formation from an individual that he was
about to attempt the Emperor's life. This

of the largest incomes in the United
States are now enjoyed by gentlemen of
San Francisco, who, four years ago, were
far from being rich. 1t is said that the
annual income of Samuel Brannon, is over
S250,000; while that of J. l.. Folsom,
w. ID. M. Howard, and several others, is
but little, if any less. These large es-
tates have been made within the last
three or four years, by the rapid rise of
real estate in and about San Francisco.
In 1917, forty-eight lots were purchased
for Sl5 to $50, which are now worth
over 100000. On the chief business
streets, in favorable locations, ground is
worth from $500 to 81 900 per front foot,
exclusive of improvements.
