The Offices OF the company are in large

all of the various commission firms doing
business at the Yards. These last number
over 100, and have connected with them
more than 500 different men. The selling
and buying is done through the commits

buyers seek the sellers, and the reverse

branch OF the business is rapidly increasing:
The Stock Yards proper are entered

NaDOIeOn's Brig.

On the steamer Eureka, which al.
rived from the southern coast the
other morning, We're two passengers
from Monterey, named George Baker
and John Roach. Both are divers, and
the story Of their latest exploit in Mon
terey is, if true, strange indeed. The
men left here about four weeks ago in
the schooner Rose Sparks to work on
the wreck of the Ventura, which went
ashore some months ago near Point
Sur, a distance OF about twenty-six
miles below Monterey. They put into
Monterey to get supply Of powder,
and while anchored in the bay the dis
covery was accidentally made that they
were just over the wreck OF some YES
sci. Baker and Roach donned their
diving suits, and were at first little
gratifed at their discovery, there being
little left Of the vessel to explore.
They kept digging away at the re-
mains, however, and soon had the sat
isfaction of seeing considerable copper
and iron piled up on the deck of the
Rose Sparks. When the news OF find
ing the wreck spread to the town of
Monterey boats Of nearly every de-
scription put off to the schooner, and
the men were surrounded 10y French
men of all ages and sizes, who had
lived in Monterey for years, and many
Of whom remembered the vessel we'll.
She was brigantine, they said, and
went into port on fire in 1884 All
hands abandoned her, the Frenchmen
said, and were fortunate enough to es-
cape What made the wreck precious
in the eyes of the natives of France.
they said, was the fact that, although
when lost she was sailing under the
Mexican flag, she was in reality the
vessel which bore Napoleon from his
exile on the Isle of Elba to France.
The vessel on which the Emperor
and his friends sailed from Eliza was a
brig, and was called the Inconstant.
Be this as it may, nothing can shake
the faith of the old residents of Mon
terey from the belief that the Natalia
is the original vessel. Those who were
rich enough to purchase small bits of
copper and iron from Baker did SO, and
others begged SO hard that they were
given small specimens which they car
ried away in delight, and will no doubt
treasure as relics OF the onceloved and
great Emperor. They account for the
change Of name by the fact that the
versel was sold to the Mexican Govern
ment. The Rose Sparks will be due
here in about two weeks with cargo
of copper and iron taken from the
wreck. San Francisco Chronicle.
