ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
LAND in the heart Of Tehama County, for the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land OF fair average quality, and is offered at
rom $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
20, SO, 12O, 100 and 500 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal BY paying the first OF I'VE equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
clpsl is tc be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which to
pay five equal annual iRstallments, with in
terest at tue rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted Tor fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to
300 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement viii prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
Che purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
an scre, and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
BODY of land was the breaking up o. 6 large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

GOLD EXPORTS.
People Interested In the Yellow Meta
Watching Things closely.

People Interested In the Yellow Metal
Watching Things Closely.
New YORK, November 25.-While the
exports of the products OF the United
States to other countries are at present
satisfactory as to bulk, the prices re-
allied, ii is claimed, are so far below
normal, that gold coming this way Is
not SO great in amount as has been In
some years past the rule at this season.
Meanwhile Americans have INDUCED In
Injuries from abroad to an extent that
had made and is making necessary
heavy shipments of the yellow metal.
The opponents Of the silver agitation
hold, moreover, that foreign interests,
rendered uneasy by the silver agitation
here, have been and are lessening the
bulk of their valves in the United States,
and that, too, upon gold basis.
Naturally the public with speculative
interests are closely watching the pres
ent hUrried transaC tions in gold. Their
action is largely contingent upon the
movement Of gold; and hence the state
ment OF Wednesday last that 5000, 900
in gold had been Withdrawn by bank
ing firm here for shipment has aroused
comment and wonder as to what 1t
means.
1t now appears that Lazard Freres is
the customer for whom the Fourth Ma
tional Bank withdrew the 100000 gold
Wednesday. This is an entirely new
departure. Heretofore shippers have
acted for themselves, but owing to the
unfavofable criticisms made from time
to time, il being frequently asserted
that private bankers were friendly to
bear operators of gold, have determined
to employ banks in their exporting
operations hereafter.
Up to noon to-day the gold ordered
Wednesday was still in the vaults OF the
Fourth National Bank. 1t is understood,
although official information is refused,
that this shows loss of about 81 per
thousand for light weight, and addition
al abrasion from shipments, which, to-
gether with other expenses, including
cables, cost ASSOC.

While it is over thirty years ago
since ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs
were first introduced to the medical
profession and public, the marked sue
cess and unprecedented popularity
which they met with not only con-
tjnues. but steadily increases. No other
plasters have been produced which gain
so many testimonials of high value as
those continuously accorded TO ALL
COCKS Porous PLAsTERs, and the only
motive for these exceptional tributes
lies in the fact Of their being medi-
cinal and pharmaceutical preparation
of superior value. Additional proof OF
the true value OF ALLcoCK's Porous
PLAsrERs lies in the fact that they are
being largely initiated by Inscriptions
nersons. who seek to deceive the public
by Offering plasters which they claim to
be the same" "equai," ''as good, !"
"better," 'best porous plaster" ETC.,
while it is in general appearance only
that they resemble ALLcocK's. Every
one of the so.called porous plasters are
limitations of ALLoocK's Porous PLAs-
TIERS.
Avoid dealers who attempt to palm
off inferior and worthless plasters that
are purchased by them at low rUtes for
the purpose OF substitution.
