cause, peculiar sensitiyeness to the effect
of cold, and a breathlessness upon moving

flying pains through the chest or back, or

to more active disease, and then follows the
train OF symptoms which leaves no doubt

A NEW CITY.

Few people are aware of the founda-
tion of the new city of Victor on the
line of the California Southern railroad.
The town plat has been surveyed by Mr..
IL. Y. Harding under direction OF Judge
R. M. Widney, of Los Angeles, and the
lots are being sold for business purposes.
The new city is just below the Upper
Point of Rocks on the south bank OF
the Mojave river, about 100 miles from
Los Angeles. :,
| The town has now q store kept by Mr..
Vader, most excellent and accommo-
dating gentleman, who gave HERALD
reporter much valuable information
about the country. The land along the
Moiave is very rich and produces six
crops of alfalfa year.
The settlement consists of store,
postoffice, railroad section house. board
ing house, livery stable and few dwell
ings.
The Hesperia Land and Water Com
pany has placed submerged dam across
the river at the granite gateway OF the
Point of Rocks and placed large hy-
draulic ram below it to throw water OF
the purest quality into reservoir to
supply the new town. A kiln of brick
has also been burned. Lots are selling
in the new city at 100 apiece.
A stranger might think this an out OF
the way place for business but it will
probably be like many California towns
a surprise to everybody. There is an
enormous granite quarry directly on the
side of the track of the railway that is
being developed for building purposes.
Across the river at distance of about
three miles is large ledge of fine lime
stone that makes very excellent quail.
ty of lime. Adjoining the lime ledge Is
an enormous ledge of white and varle'
gated marble that is being opened by
the Victor Marble Company.
The Hesperiln Company has presented
the marble company with piece OF land
on the river adjoining the railroad track
on which will be erected large mill for
the saving and polishing of marble
Judge Widney has engaged the mant;l;
and other stone ornaments for his bank
ing house on New High street, in this
city, and it is reported that the Califor

and hotel of this marble at Victor.

business. Captain Keller was spoken Of
confidently by some as the next Captain,
and some others stoutly maintained that
