LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SWIMMING BATHs-The Coles Brothers, Of
the Sacramento Ice Company, propose to
establish swimming baths at their ice fac
tory, near Tenth and K streets. The water
will be supplied from an artesian well on the
premises, which is 10 feet deep and contains
the clearest of water, the temperature of
which when it leaves the well being 62'. The
water while being used as circulating me-
dunn in the manufacture of ice is heated to
temperature of 7S' and then passes out into
baths, going over an apron composed of cyl
inders into which steam will be exhausted.
BY this process the temperature of the water
may be raised to S0' or 90', or even greater
temperature. The tank will be 100
feet in length and q feet wide, and from 8
to 6 feet in depth. Along each side of the
tank will be arranged bathing tubs and dress
ing rooms, in which the use of soap will be
permitted, but the water from them does not
enter the swimming baths. The water is
kept pure by the stream flowing in from the
well and out through pipes into sewer The
building, which is to be of brick. will have
glass roof, to admit sufficient light, and at
night will be well lighted with gas. The
Coles Bros. are circulating subscription lists,
the amounts subscribed to be paid for in tick
cts, aud receive abundant encouragement, a
number of persons having each subscribed for
$50 worth. The baths are to be built at
once, and their erection viii be Immediately
omrzenced.

DoN'r MAKE A MISTAKE. We have no
hesitatioA in saying that very rare treat
will be afforded those who may accept the
general invitation of Weinstock & Lubin,
proprietors of the Mechanics Store, to wit
ness their exhibition of spring goods tonight.
Their stores will remain closed till o'clock
this evening, after which hour the whole
house viii be thrown open to visitors. No
selling viii be done, the affair being strictly
an exhibition. A fine effect has been pro-
duced by the novel arrangements made for
the qualification of the public, the entire
establishment being transformed into what
we can best describe as a series of exhibition
parlors. Those who fail to examine the dis
play viii make a grand mistake, for nothing
likeit has ever been seen here
A CARD. einstock Lubin take pleasure
in announcing that their Manufacturing-De.
partment viii be running this evening after
o'clock, and all visitors are requested to take
this opportunity of noticing one of our local
industries-them motive power Of the machinery
