5. Schocken OF this place has on foot a
scheme which, when carried out, will prove
of great advantage to both town and valley.
For some time past he has been contemplate
ing the building of a line of horsecars for
freight and passenger traffic from his basalt
block Quarries north of town to Embarca-
dero. the head of navigation on Sonoma
Creek, distance of six miles.
As is we'll KNOWN, the Schocken basaIt-
block quaTries at this place are the most
extensive in the State, the supply of rock,
which is the best paving material in the
world, being practically ineXhaustible. 1t
is claimed that r railway reaching from his
quarTies To tdewater. with schooner sery-
ice TO San Francisco, will enable him TO
land bis blocks in the metropolis at much
cheaper rate than can be done by any other
basalt- block contractor in the State. Under
the new plan ii Is estimated that blocks can
be landed in San Francisco as cheap as they
can be hauled into Sonoma under the pres
ent plan, which entails a heavy cost for
horses. harness, wagons and the wages of
Transfers
When the new railway is in operation be-
tween 200 and 800 blockmakers will be
given employment In the basalt-block quar-
ries Of Sonoma in addition to those already
employed

AN OLD RELIC.
sonoma County's First Treasury Vault
Discovered.

Santa Rosa Democrat.
In Fred Hesse's locksmith shop on b
street there repOses al iron strongbox, in
size about three feet long, two feet wide
and eighteen Inches deep. The workman
ship displayed on it is very plain, no EN- bel
ishments OF ornaments adjoining it, The
top forms the door, on which is placed the
lock. Within the box, about an inch from
the tor. there is a small projection, shelf,
as it We're, an inch wide. and running around
tine entire box. This formed the catch for
the l0ckbolts. The lock, covering almost
the entire under surface OF the door, to
which it was fastened, was a simple affair,
throwing seven bolts.
The box had been for years in the custody
OF the County Treasurer. ana nobody knew
To whom il belonged. About two years ago
Ca plain Stolen, in looking over the records,
found that il had oeen brought from Sono-
ma City at the time Of the moving of the
county seat 10 this city, being used as a re-
ceptacle for the records and the funds of the
county at that time.
From Inquiry among pioneers this box,
which was so secure at that time, was the
treasure-box Of one of the many vessels de-
serted by their crews at San Francisco in
the days of the gold fever. From there it
found its way TO SonOma, then und.r the
rule OF the alcaldes. This box, a relic as it
Is. should be placed in some appropriate
place by the Supervisors and preserved.

Consu-General Sewall, who has charge

The tracts bought are the two strategic

The harbor OF Pago-Pago is land locked
on every side ana surrounded by high bluffs,
completely shutting IL in and making such
disaster as that at the neighborlng harbor

that even the most severe hurricanes
scarcely disturb its surface. The points
secured completely command the entire

submarine mines In the channel. could

1t is proposed TO purchase about hum

as well as to*quarter small garrison in
