A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.

1he 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
from $40 to $50 per acre. in subdivisions OF
80, so, 120, 160 and 800 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 for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by Taying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal Is to be paid tor three years and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sureo 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 for fruit-growing, cannot be
had IN California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $40
al acre 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 of q large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
TO diligent husbandry.

MINING SHARES.
Market Active With Lively FIuctua-
tions Along the Line.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 81, 1892.
The market continues active with lively
turns. Clippers are about all that are trying
to take advantage Of the fluctuations. A few
more chronic traders are to be seen ON the
street, but they are taking their turns. Usu-
ally well informed parties claim that the
present activity in the market is made by in
siders so as to give few crumbs to the brok-
ers. who were loud in their complaint that
the depression was killing the business
There is nothing as yet to warrant the belief
that the mills and mines will be worked in
the interest of outside stockholders: until
this is done business men VIII let the game
alone. The feature of the market was an adj
vance in Sierra Nevada. The market closed

A General Impression That strikers May
Accept the New Scale.

LBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
PGTTsBURG, Aug. 12-Last night and
this morning the strikers patrol com
mittee at Lawrenceville union mills in
duced five or more of the skilled non
union workmen to come ont, Among
them was Charles Seifries, the boss
roller, who came from Philadelphia.
While the men still claim that they
are firm and that their ranks are un-
broken. yet there is grave reason to be-
lieve that there will be some radical
change in the great strike in the near
future.
About fifteen Of the leaders are absent
from the city. They have been hastily
summoned. The general impression
among the men is that the strikers are
to confer on the advsability Of accepting
the firms terms, which are said to be
even higher than paid by other firms that
have signed the same scale.
At the company's Offices officials de-
clined to discuss the situation OF 10 give
any information concerning the state of
affairs. They say however that the mill
is running satisfactorily to them. A
general meeting of strikers has been
| called for this afternoon

Justice Somerby was on the stand in the

will be appointed.
somerby, although having supreme
authority, admitted that he had never
given bond until this suit was brought,
and then only in the sum Of $4,000, with
Detroit undertaken as security. This
bond has not been approved and is not in

Supreme Cashier Davis is under $50, ,OO0

sureties is dead Somerby admitted that
the two-years term TO which the supreme
sitting and officers had been elected had
expired.
He could point out no authority for
the existence of the present body except
a section authorizing q special call of the
sitting
The witness did not know whether

required by the constitution. Account

Sioux CRY, Ia, Aug. 12.-During the
last two years nearly S1OO,OcO worth of
property has been destroyed by incendiary
fires in the two towns of Covington and
Stanton, directly across the river from
this city. The towns were built up by
the adoption of prohibtory laws in Iowa
and bore a bad reputation, the populace
being composed wholly of saloon men
and gamblers
A rivalry for the business from this
city existed first between the towns and
then between the keepers of the places
in the same towns Yesterday Bob
Thompson bar keeper, who worked for
years in Covington for Billy Leech one Of
the Covington aldermen, made a confes-
sion, in which he acknowledged setting
some of the fires which aimed at the de-
struction of the business interests Of
Leech's rivals.
He swears that he and Leech set fire to
a law Office in Dakota City about year
ago to destroy it because the lawyer had
a spite against him He also admits that
he fired the ferry house five months ago,
and that he was to receive $3.50 from
Leech for the job. Leech and Thompson
have been arrested
