ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
Efforts Being Made to Secure a New
Building Therefor.

A bill VIII be introduced In Congress some
time during the present session asking for an
appropriation for the erection OF an army head
quarters building i1 this city which shall cost
800 900 10 100000. A site has already been
picked out which Will be recommended for the
purpose designated. 1t is located on the ex-
treme eastern boundary of the Preside Reserva-
ton, facing the block between Hilbert and
Greenwich streets. and is about 10ox20O in its
dimensions.
At present the greater portion :of the staff
officers are located in the Phelan building
others have their headquarters al SO New
Montgomery street, and still others are seat
tered bout the city. At 533 Kearny street are
the Offices Of Colonel II. Mendeil, supervising
engineer for the Pacific Coast, and Lieutenant
c. A. Flagler. in charge Of harbor Qualifications
In the Donohoe building are the offices of Lieu
tenant-Coionei w. IL. H. BeByaurd aud Lieu
tenant Charles l.. Potter, aud 10 the Flood
building is the office of Major William Fl. Heuer.
Z. C., lighthouse engineer.
The cost of sustaining all these separate
Offices Is, OF course, quite large, and IL is as.
serted that the amounts thus expended at pres
ent would, ID the aggregate, pay for new
building In few years.
The building as proposed will be the head
quarters for all the army departments In the
Department OF California.
One great objection 10 the present location of
The depar ment quarters is the manifest iDcon-
venience of doing business with the Preside
through the medium OF messengers aud n is
urged, furthermore, that all of tn heads OF de-
partments should be located In localities easily
accessible from one TO The other.

Court woul0 consider The proposition Of order
Ing new sale OF the property at the opening
day of the term, Thursday of this week, and he
had no doubt new sale would be ordered. D.
t. Vaughn, general agent OF the company in
this city, said 10 a CAL reporter that Judge
Fullerton had privately stated that he intended
to make such an order, not on account OF the
insufiicency of the first bid, but because Of
manifest irregularity in the former proceed

granted, but trial OF the suits cannot be put OF
longer than February 10. Additional 10 the
sum before mentioned there are marine claims
OF between $4,000 and $4,000 which have been
held back.
IL was thought the matter of the claims would

BIDS ON THE DOME.
They Are Considerably Hig her Than
Was Expected.


~ A meeting of the City Hall Commission was
held yesterday. the object being to open bids
for the construction of the proposed new
steam boilers in The basement and the new
dome which Is 10 lie erected over the main Gu
trance ON City Hall avenue. The bids should
have been opened on last Saturday. but that
day being legal holiday. the board simply met
and adjourned until yesterday.
There were a large number OF contractors
present, all of whom TOOK great interest in the
opening OF the bids watching Mayor Ebert
very closely as he cut the large envelopes. The
BIDS were somewhat higher than was expected.
Architect Shea some time ago informed the
board that lie estimated The cost of construc-
ton OF the dome at S225.0OO. The lowest bid
Tor the entire construction made yesteI day was
S221 800 but this only means the four differ
ent contracts mentioned. 1t does not include
the finishing work, such as the plaSlering,
which Is very expensive. Besides, there Will
be very large surface o cover. Then there is
the aluminium Top and the interior and exterior
decorative work. All OF these will cost extra
and viii largely increase the estimate made by
/ the architect.
An analysis OF the bids also shows that the
difference between the estimates on portions OF
the work, aud the entire construction is only
about $1,000. The Gine ence being in favor Of
OConneil & Lewis, whose bid is lowest on the
entire construction.

Almost every one is aware of the fact
that when tree is cut down it's age can
be determined by counting the rings.
each OF which represents one years in
crement. but closer observers find in the
lrregularlty of these rings and other
signs very faithfal register of climatic
and other conditions in any given year
during the Whole period OF its growth.
The years of small rings, that is of little
growth, were either very dry. or the tree
was exhausted by bearing an exception
ally heavy fruit crop. The broad rNlgs
lndiqate abundant rains and good proN-
ing conditions. Brownish spots on the
cut surface, looking as if they were
worm eaten, are evideme of severe
winter, the young sapwood formed in
summer having been partly DESTROYED by
severe cold, and the injured part covered
over with sound wood the next year.
The year may easily be fixed by counting
the rings from the outside If the LAYERS
OF wood are not of uniform thickness all
around they afford evidence that at this
stage of growth there were conditions
which hindered it's growth on one side.
The spread of it's roots or branches has
been arrested, perhaps by a neighborine
tree. The number of layers showing this
irregularity indicates the number OF
years during which the tree was exposed
to the unfavorable conditions. The TN
dent of forestry may learn lesson OF
practical value in the management of for.
ests by careful study of these annual

PROSPECTIVE BONANzAS.

Sacramentans Who Think They've
struck the blue Lead.''
The outfitting and departure of party
of Sacramento and Amador County
miners from the quiet little hamlet OF
Michigan Bar yesterday savored of the
palmy days of '49.
Last September Charles Hilton, a young
miner and stockman, while driving his
cattle from the mountains, discovered
what he believes to be old "blue lead"
The find is located in Leak Spring
Mountains, and in direct liue between
the "blue lead' now being worked in
Carson Valley, New, and Iowa Hill,
Placer County.
Alter careful prospect, which gave
from to cents to the pan on the sur
face, a sample OF the gravel was secured
and compared with that of the Nevada
gravel mines, and found to be similar in
every character.
During the winter the facts of the dis
covery leaked out, and in the last two
months number Of miners and ranch
men have been anXionsly awaiting the
melting OF the snow which has so closely
locked up the supposed treasure during
the winter.
The party which left for the new field
yesterday consisted of Charles Hilton,
David Gray, S. p. Lionberger, James
Berry, Walter Gray, Albert Whittle,
Thomas and Edwin Anderson. The fact
that Mr.. Hilton is one OF the most sue
cessful miners in the foothills has in
spired much con fidence in his discovery.

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

The Pacific improvement Company has res
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Oh
land in the heart of Tehama County, Tor the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, Ia
land of fair average quality. and is offered at
from $40 to $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12O, 16o and $50 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 paying the first OF five equal an-
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with liz
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annuIn,
making payments extending over 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 $40 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-
peoially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
800 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 $50
an 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 a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tIement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandFy.

Ruin by EXCESSIVE Taxation.

The evidence proving that taxation
may easily pass the limits Of endurance
is overwhelming. Within an hours ride
from New York several towns can be
reached that were bankrupted by under-
taking public works upon a magnifi-
cent scale" The Eumber of Wesssrn
communities that have been ruined from
the same cause is countless. A very great
number of people in the Eastern States,
both poor and of the middle class, have
been impoverished by the sudden check
to the prosperity of these communities.
Nor is any severer tax imposed upon any
class than that which is paid by those
who have only their wages to live upon,
when they are deprived of these by the
collapse of municipal credit and the
consequent sudden stop to extravagant
expenditure. The average cost of the
to Sl2 year to every family in the coun-
try. and the total burden of taxation is
probably $50 to $40. In many cases the
pension charge alone is equal 10 half a
months or even to months wages. \ OF
few of the Governments of the earth
are now insolvent because of excessive
expenditures upon public works. In
South America and Australia extrava-
giant undertakings of this kind have
caused widespread ruin and distress.
They have had much to do with bringing
their present misery upon the people of
Italy, and the poor of several other ma
tions are likely to find out, eventually,
that the alleviation of temporary distress
by governmental expenditure of capital
is like keeping off the cold by burning
down the house.-D. MEG. Means, in the
