the statement that she is the finest vessel
that ever fitted out in this port for such
cruise. AS she is high out of the water
and has tall buIwarks which, toward the

ABOVE EUREKA VALLEY.
A Rock k-Crusher That Is Voted
Nuisance.

The rOck-crushiDg apparatus run by the
California Construction Company in the
Flint Tract on Sixteenth street, near Mount
Olympus. is again causing those living in
the valley and on the hillside considerable
annoyance. The constant and inceSsant
pounding during the day is not at all rel
ished. but what is still more troublesome
and disagreeable, they declare, is the run
ming at nighttime TO fill extra orders. Con-
venient electric light on the hilsides
make 1t as easy to work the crusher at
night as in the daytime.
Every once and again sort of reminder
Is given those living in the neigh borhoOd
In the form of an extra heavy blast to
loosen the rocky gOrges.
One of these occurred on Friday morn
ing at o'clock, which, it is asserted,
shook houses, their foundations aud con-
tents In a very unpleasant manner. Tired
and slumbering citizens were rudely
awakened from their needed rOpnse by
this earth's dlsturber. but with little fear,
as the occurrences are frequent and have
made those in the vicinity somewhat ac-
customed to such happenings.
Still another grievance inflicted upon the
hapless neighborS of the Iock-crusher dur
ing the same twenty-four hours was the
starting of the crusher soon after mid
night.
At 1880 Saturday morning the noise of
the operations again disturbed the peo-
pie. who were made aware that business
must be Increasing In the contracting line
to inaugurate night work. This is also
another old-time grievance, ard in the
busy seasons the operation of the concern
at night has little charms for those seeking
slumDer.

this, lhe nearest land. in single file, with Cap
tain Knight at their head, the men commenced

went stumbling and plunEing on their perilous
way, now and then sinking into the sush be-
tween the ice-cakes, and having 10 be drawn
out by their companions. But Tor their leader

great many persons come over In the steeTage

they are pretty sure OF being able to buy that

square thing 10 do, but what wondered the
most at was the utter disregard for the ships

"For instance, a steward would take down
to the steerage dozen dishes and plates of

course The bucket contained silver forks,
spoons, knives and very often silver vegetable
