Mr.. +. O'Br;eo, late Chief of Police in Sacramento,
write, thus to The Sacraneato Mercury, from Bel
liDgbtm Bay:
Victoria is ore Of the most desirable sites in the
word for beautiful city. Lots ~ by 10 feet which
ceiling week before al so were increasing 80
TO 80 per cay in value, and company Of specustors
had puIoSaed all TIE town not improved Improved
Issidercse Of which there number, arc held at

they could have been bought at from 500 70 81 900.

that we DO not and will not keep our contracts"

Speculation in real estate at Victoria exceeds any
thing ever wEt ssed In San Ffatcisco in her palmi
est days. There are but few bddiogs in course of
erection. There Is not sufficient supply OF lumber

their tip to the mines at present. Another week and
high wages will prevail, as preparations are being
made for extensive buildings and many of Thorn. Tee

at Beipgham Bay, probably at tie mouth Of the

shipping. TIE citizens Of Seattle are also putting forth
some claims to special distinction because of tie re-
ported dRcovery of gold on the sGoqualanie River.
