New Dry GooDs SToRE-Thomas J.
Clunie and John J. Kiley will open to-day,
on the northeast corner of Eighth and X
streets, in the Clunie building, a first-class
dry goods store. The corner has been
handsomely fitted up for that purpose, and.
the location being central, cannot fail to be
good business point The interior of the
building has been beautifully painted, dec
GRATED and frescoed, and the counters.
shelves, mirrors, etc, are all of the latest
and most approved styles. At the rear end
OF the hall, in a kind of an alcove. is an
elegant French plate-glaSs mirror seven
and half feet high by four and a half
wide, in which the ladies will have
no trouble to gaze upon themselves
from head to foot, and admire the cloaks
and other wearing apparel of the latest
styles which this firm proposes at all times
to keep in stock. The show windows are
large and especially adapted for fine dis
play of goods. The front of the building
has been painted in representation Of
Italian marble. General Clunie. who has
lived here since boyhoOd, is well known in
this community as being a wideawake
business man, and one who has invested
largely in real estate and business enter

Phoenix Roller Flour Mills.

The Phoenix Touring mills, Geo Schroth
& Co., corner of Thirteenth and ] streets.
which were burned to the ground in June
last, have been rebuilt, and are again in
running order. The mills are now oper-
ated on the roller or gradual reduction
process, and have capacity of 40 barrels
per day. The mills were put up by the
MOrdyke IL Marmon Company OF Indian
apolis. This firm has the reputation of
building the best mills in the country, and
took all the first premiums at the Worlds
Exposition in New Orleans. The machin-
cry, shafting, spouting and elevators are of
superior workmanship, and the millwright
work, which was done by parties sent out
from indianapolis, cannot be excelled By
the old stone process the wheat was ground
into flour at one operation, all into one
mass, and the impurities were taken out by
boiling process. All the bran and other
Objectionable matter could not be extracted
in this manner, and again large
percentage of flour found its way
into the bran and middling pile.
The roller or gradual reduction process
removes all the impurities ard saves all
the flour. After the wheat has been
cleaned upon separators, shutters and
brush machines it is spouted to the first
pair of rolls, which have very coarse CORFU
cations, and are set so as to Just split the
wheat through the crease This split
wheat is sent to a scalping reel, covered
with wire cloth, and the crease impurities
are sifted out by the securing action of the
reel. What tails over the reel is sent to
The second pair Of rolls, which has fine
corrugations. 1t is then scalped and
broken again until it has passed through
the seventh break. The impurities of the
wheat are thus separated step by step. The
flour and middlings bolted out during this
process are conveyed to proper reels, where
they are separated. The floor thus made
has the greatest strength, and is called
bakers flour. The middlings are busted.
purified and gradually reduced to flour by
smooth rolls. The flour made out of them
Is what is termed patent flour, and is as
white as the driven snow. This mill is
supplied with eighteen pairs of rolls, eight
pairs OF which are corrugated for the break
ing of the grain and the remainder are
smooth rolls for the reduction and grind
ing of middlings and other material. In
addition there are ten seal ping reels, eight
flour reels, three centrifugal reels, five
purifiers, one wheat grader, one bran
buster, four dust collectors The latter
machines are to collect the dust from the
different parts of the mill and deposit the
same in bins The mill is thus rendered
clean and bright and the traditional dusty
mill is one Of the things of the past. The
cleaning works consist of four machines
receiving separator, zig-zag separator. a
smut machine and brush machine, all of
the Richmond patent. They also have
complete machinery for the manufacture

far-seeing business men could not realize
to what dimensions the resources of the
State would expand. In fact, it may still
be said that at the present time little of
true conception exists as to what another
thirty years will show to be among the
possibilities, and the great, undeveloped
future of the ever Golden State. These
men, it will be remembered by those ac-
quainted with the earlier days of the COM
monwealth, interested themselves in the
development of the farming industries :;
were energetic, young and thoroughly alive
to the demands of the times, and as the

ness was conducted in Stockton. After
fifteen years of successful business, and
during which time the largely accumulat-
ing capital of the firm had been all con-
tinued in its business, to meet the expand
ing demands from increasing population,
and broadening area of the farming classes,
the fact had become apparent in 1868 that
an office or warehouse in San Francisco was
necessity.
The volume of capital of the firm was
now sufficient to enable them TO safely do
this, and not only to enter the San Fran
cisco market as dealer but also to engage

the great distributing point for the interior
trade, reaching out as far as Utah upon the
east, and through the Territories to the
north and south. The factors which make
Sacramento the central distributing point
are lower rents and expenses, less freight
charges and quicker filling of orders, on
haul. The firm will no doubt soon build
large and fine business house here to
meet increasing demands, and it is prob
able will secure location where cars can

EASTERN PRICEs.-As reporter was
strolling up X street, yesterday, he met
a gentleman coming out of a restaurant

phia or New York all the way from 81 so
to 81 %. 1t is mistaken idea many have
that person can live cheaper in the East
than they can in Sacramento. Let them
take trip across the continent, and they
will very soon discover their mistake"
Taking several bills of fare from his pocket,
he selected one, and remarked: Just look
at this, which | kept after a meal in st.
