The plats of n. 4 S., w. and S., 6
W., situated in San Bernardino coun-
ty, are now on file in the Z. S. Land

claims in that locality will do well to

Mr.. John Knotwell, agent for the
Union Gas Machine, will leave for San
Bernardino tomorrow and will be
absent from the city about week.
During his absence persons desiring
information relative to the gas ma
chine are requested to call on Swigart
d Huber, Main street.
The corner of Main and Commercial
streets is to have bran new sidewalk.
Judging by that already constructed,
it will be neither very elegant, conve-
nient nor durable, built as it is of light
boards. We trust that our city is not
to be inflicted with many of these
walks under the new improvement
ordinances.
The gap in the grade across the
caiIon at the junction of Temple and
Olive streets was closed yesterday by
Mr.. Beaudry's workmen. The fill has
now been made so heavy that it will
admit the passage of double team.
Mr.. Beaudry and Mr.. Potts are doing
Il good work for the city in grading
the streets in that quarter and their
heavy expenditures will soon be re-
warded by II first-class thoroughtare.
Rev. w. II. Hill will deliver lee

night before the teachers of the Insti-
tLte and friends of education. After
the lecture, the audience will adjourn
to the Good Templars' Social, where
some pleasing literary exercises and
socal entertainment will await them.
One of the features of the occasion
will be an original poem read by Mr..
A. II. Hawley.
Chas. Miller, the man who perpe-
trated the thefts of clothing and jew
elry at the United States Hotel in
August and September last, was yes
terday sentenced to the State Prison
for two Years on u conviction OF
house breaking. He met his trial
with wonderful coolness and effrOnt-
cry, but the chain of evidence about
him was too strong to be controverted,
and he was obliged to accept the hos
pitalities Of San Quentin.
A saddlery and harness store of our
city yesterday completed the outfit of
forty-four mules to be used in the
freighting business to Panamint. The
teams are the property of Parker Il
Anderson who have a heavy contract
from Stewart & Jones for the transfer
of freight from Spadra to the new
mining district. The road adopted for
freighting will be from Spadra via
San Bernardino. Some of the teams
will leave the city to-day for their
first trip.
AS an instance of the progress of the
city of Los Angeles and the constant
~ Nbluc VI ICul bCiSj
we offer the following which came to
our knowledge yesterday: About a
year ago some San Francisco capital
lists sent an agent to this place to loan
money on real estate security. One
of our leading citizens applied for IL
loan of Sc, 900 on the installment plan
for five years, and as security offered
ninety eight city lots which he owned
on Temple street. The proposition was
declined as the security was deemed
insufficient. Since that time, the
gentleman has sold four of the lots for
the neat sum of $6,440 and has the
other ninety-four on a rapidly increas-
ing market, and no thanks to the cap
italists, money. 1t is but justice to-
say that the property was thus en-
hanced in value by the late improve
ments which have been made by
private enterprise in grading Temple
street.
