the tree from the stump, and delivering
the lumber in car load lots to its GUS
toners in western markets. The ooun-

concern owns large blocks of stock in
the Chippewa Lumber and Boom Com
pany, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, and
several other companies, which, added
to the business of the home mills,
makes the actual cut of the company
for 1882 l20, ,O00, 900 feet. The company
also handles large amount Of yellow
pine in st. Louis, and purchases large
quantities of white pine lumber and
shingles from other concerns for the
Eau Claire and st. Louis yards. This,
with its own manufacture, will make an
of over 14O,O0O,OOO feet of
lumber that will pass through its yards
in the season Of 1882, making it, un-
the Largest lumber concern
in the United States.
The suburban homes Of the railroad
and bonanza kings of San Francisco
are chiefly in the San Jose Valley, which
extends south from the city, not far
from the coast, but separated from it by
a range of hills. The snowy places are
along the railroad for dis
tance of forty miles. That of ID. o.
Mills, who is no longer q Californian,

called Millbrae. The house is like a
palace in aud external ornamentation,
but is built of wood, as are all the others
in the valley, ON account of the dread
of earthquakes. Further along is Bel
mont, where Ralston, the unfortunate
of the Bank of California used
to entertain strangers and friends alike
with lavish hospitality. This property
is in the hands Of a receiver. At Menl0
