A GIGANTIC TIDE LAND 0%PERATIoN.-
Tho last Legislature granted to tho Tan.
ming and Manufacturing Company
[Statutes, 1913, page 662] a quantity
Of tide land in San Mateo county, sup
posed to contain about twenty acres.
The initial point Of the tract described
in the Act was stated to be at the north
eastern corner of the 1920 acres tract
belonging to the cooperation. There is
q tract of land of this extent laid down
on the official map Of San Mateo county,
situate near the mouth Of San Bruno
Creek, and marked with the name Of q
vol known real estate broker. It was
said that the corporation owned this
tract, and that the land described in
the Act lay contiguous to the southeast
eru boundary Of said 1920 acres tract.
Subsequently, however, it appsared that
the grantees under the Act pretended
to have purchased q 1920 acres tract
on the shore Of the bay in V~isitacion
Valley, and at the boundary line between
this city and county and the county Of
San Mateo and that they claim
all the land between the county line
and the mouth of San Bruno creek, and
between the shore line and o line In the
Bay where there are nine feet Of water
at low tide, including over 1000 acres
of land The alleged purchase In Wis
~itacion Valley, if ever made, was only Of
an undivided interest, and even that
was probably not made until aftcr the
law had been enacted.
The land thus attempted to be wrest-
ed from the State is of immense value,
and neither the Legislature nor Gov
ernor ever suspected that 1t was to be
affected in any name by the Act re.
ferred to. These matters require the
immediate attention Of the Attorney
General as we'll as of the individual
property-owuers whose rights are thus
threatened.
The claim has already been surveyed
by the County Surveyor, n strong
"Ring" hos been organized, and every
effort made to give it success.
The SEA-WALL.-Work on the sea-
wall above Jackson street is progressing
steadily. The filling in for the founda-
ton obstructs the operation Of sliding
in from the city front, and the mud be-
hind the wall near jackson street has
been pushed up till it is even with the
embankment and nearly touches the
planks Of East street. A dredger and
pile-drlyer are kept at work constantly
pulling out the old piles and removing
mud to the depth Of twenty feet or more,
till q solid bottom is found. Outside Of
the first section, from Vallejo to Union
streets, q pile driving machine is en-
| ploysd, and three or four rows Of piles
are already driven.
FATAL RESULT OF AN ACCIDENTS.
F. Berry, q resident of Gopher City,
met with an accident recently which
cost him his life. He was driving a
steel wedge into q log when a piece Of
tue wedge broke off and struck him in
the neck. His neck swelled very badly,
and no finally m to this city for

operation by making an incision In his
neck to remove the accumulation OF

Of the main arteries, but shortly after
the operation was performed the man
died. He was about IS years of age.
