San Andreas independent., 1858-07-31

NEW MISUNDERSTANDING the week, two
new brick buildings have been completed in
this camp, adding much to the appearance of
the street and greatly to the Importance and
permanence of the town. The new brick
fre-proof extension to the stone restaurant of
Zwinge Co. is completed, and its fair pro-
portions were yesterday thrown open to the
public. The extension is 46 feet deep by 80
feet wide, and includes bake-house, kitchen,
conservatory and six sleeping rooms, all
smoothly plastered in hard finish and neatly
painted. The dining-room has also received
finishing touch of white-wash and paint,
which makes it one of the most acceptable in
the mines The brick-work was done by
Messrs. j. Epply L Jos. Kneedler.
Mr.. B. Crowley's new fire-proof brick bull
ding is also receiving the finishing touch from
the plasterer This building is located on
Main street, first lot south of Odd Fellows
Hall, and is one story high twelve feet in the
clear j % feet front by 40 feet deep. The
front of the building has very massive ap-
pearance, being ornamented with a neat cor
nicing. Messrs. Epply & KneedIer deserve
much credit for the care and mechanical skill
displayed in its construction.
The foundation of the new ire-proof brick
building of Thos. MGlynn, is now being laid
by Messrs. Eppley & Kneedler. This build
ing will be one story high; IL feet in the
clear, with a basement story of 8 feet The
main building will be 80 feet front by 40 deep.
The foundation is firmly laid and grouted in
the trenches with brick furnished from the
new kiln.
The framework of the Kinderhook Hotel
NJ Callahan, proprietor-is now up, and the
contractors, Messrs. Joseph Grier and Major
Glenn, are pushing the work ahead very ra-
pidly. This new hotel will be credit to the
enterprising contractors as well as an orna-
ment to the camp. 1t is by erecting such
buildings that property holders show their
faith by their works The building is 80 feet
front by 46 feet deep; being 26 feet high
from the sill to the plate; first story, l2 feet
in the clear, with bar-room, dining-room,
parlor and bedrooms. Second story will
contain ten bedrooms, and the attic will also
| be used, in times of extra custom, for Sleep
ing apartment. The hotel will have an addi-
tion for kitchen and conservatory of II feet
front by 26 feet deep, making the new build
ing larger and higher than the old one burnt
down. In few weeks the hotel will be COM
pleted and thrown open to the public.
The livery stable of Mr.. Robert Chambers,
Messrs. ]. P. Haskell & Wood Knight, con-
tractors, is also completed and now occupied.
1t is built on st. Charles street, at the old
stand, and is much larger and more appropri-
ate for the business than the old building des-
troyed by fire.
We take great pleasure in noticing these
new Improvements, and the commendable
zeal with which property holders go to work
in making them. One thing in particular, we
have noticed that, in all the buildings above
referred to, San Andreas mechanics have been
very properly selected to do the work. "Pro-
tect your own," is trite and true saying
and If business men or others, are penny-wise
and pound-foolish enough to prefer the COM
modify of another camp, to their own, in the
end it will result disastrously to themselves
In the broadest sense we insist that no con-
siderations should induce a resident of San
Andreas to throw off the mechanics and
laborers around him for those of some neigh
boring, and may be, rival camp. We refer to
this, feelingly, and hope our readers may re-
member and appreciate what we say, by being
first true to themselves and then charitable to
their neighbors.
