erer attempted before. When effected,
the fortunes of Montana are made, and
all of its resources will he developed,

NO CHRISTMAS GREETING.
BY s. Z. SMITH.

'Tls Christmas morn, the sun SHINES out
In warmth o'er mountain, dell and plain,
Lighting the earth with gladsome cheer;
All nature sings glad refrain,
While all seems joyous. bright and glad,
O'er sunny field, in flower and tree,
Yet l am sitting lone and sad;
And no sweet voice comes unto me,
Wishing ga merry Christmas time,"
Or"Christmas gift" to me or mine.
Old mem'ries now come flooding down
Like mountain torrents TO the main,
And fill my heartwith thoughts of .rore,
Ofdays apast without reclam
When forms and faces bright and fair
Laughter and music in each voice,
Would meet my vision everywhere,
And made my heart glad and rejoice;
Then each returning happy year
Would bring to me its Christmas cheer.
L think me now of boyhood's home,
Far back within the long gone-by-
And now to early manhood's time,
My thoughts like gliding meteors fly,
Where hopes were high and courage stong,
And life seemed all too fair and bright
Taking no thought how all too soon
Life's brightest visions cloud in night.
Oh sad, sad thoughts, in full array,
Como Ger my soul this Christmas day.
But brighter visions now arise,
OF days and years, not SO long past,
When life seemed one perpetual dream,
(h-dream ofjoy too bright to last.)
And homes steet influence round me shed
A halo of such joys divine;
dreamed not that cloud could mar
Those pleasures of affections shrine;
From these loved ones now far away
No Christmas greetings come.to-day.

Advance in Real Estate.

The advance in real estate in and
around Los Angeles within the past
six months has been so great as to be
a master of astonishment to ALL New
and unimproved property has shot
ahead so rapidly that dealers find
themselves almost puzzled in attempts
to regulate the scale of prices. Old
and long improved places feel the
pressure and have gone up nearly or
quite one hundred per cent. in almost
as many days. About five months
ago Mr.. o. III. Bliss purchased the
old Rowland homestead on Alame-
da street. for eighteen thousand dol
lars. At q cost of about three thou
sand dollars he remodeled in fact al
most rebuilt the house and made
other Improvements. He sold the but
partial crop of grapes, oranges and
walnuts for twenty-five hundred and
fifty dollars and to-day he could take
thirty-five thousand dollars for his
property but values it at fifty thou
sand dollars. The place contains thir-
ty-fve acres on which is one of the
most elegant residences in the city,
one hundred orange trees from fiif-
teen to eighteen years old, four hun
dred eight years old, some of which
are just beginning to bear; a large
number of English walnut trees twen-
ty-two years old and full bearing;
many lime and lemon trees, twenty
one acres of fine old grape vines and a
great many apple, peach and pear
trees, all from ten to twenty years old.
The soil is splendid and one of the
zanjas runs through the center of the
grounds. 1t is fine old place and To-
Gated within five minutes walk of the
center of the city.

Captain Kraszynski, the moving
spirit of Lyons Station, dropped into
our sanctum for few moments yes
terday afternoon. He was just in
from long trip to the interior by
team and bore unmistakable marks of
roughing it in his top boots, buckskin
jacket and bronzed skin. The Cap
tain is just now exultant over an extern
sive cinnibar ledge which he has dis
covered within twelve miles of Ly-
on's Station, the ore of which has
been pronounced exceedingly rich.
He claims that road can be built to
his discovery with an outlay of $50
and when the mine is fairly opened it
will pan out half a dozen good for
tunes. The Captain was accompanied
by Mr.. Boenicki, practical refiner
from Cincinnati, who has taken up
his headquarters at Lyons Station,
where he will soon be refining the San
Fernando petroleum into illuminating
and lubricating oil. Mr.. Boenicki
proposes to use the established method
of refining now in vogue in the East.
He gives the opinion universally
adopted by oil men that the San Fer
nando oil regions will eventually
prove immensely successful.
