ia stated that over $50 tons OF steel and
400 tone of iron contribute to it's strength.
This tonnage includes cast iron columns
in the basement and first story, support
ing heavy. triple girders carrying court
walls, ETC., besidss roof trusses and other
structural iron. The fact that all this
has been furnithed by Lewellen Bros,
of the Columbian Iron works. means
not only home enterprise and resources,
but the retentioain Los Angeles OF over
$6l, 900 spent sa the building irons OF
this building alone.
Besides this estimate, as sole agents
here for Winsls9 Bros, this enterpris-
ing firm have Hecently entered into a
$3S, 900 CONTRACT TO supply ali the bower

the ornaments open iron work of the
stairway, elevstor shafts and cages for
this building. Aas
The passenger elevators for the Brad
bury block ,ccnsist of two, hydraulic
passenger and one freight machine,
manufactured by yOtis Bros. & Co., New
York, and were erected by the Baker
Iron works in Los Angeles. The cars
are valued at $500 each and operated by
the Otis patent lsver device. The pas
senger elevators have a lifting capacity
OF 1000 poundeat speed of 300 feet per

tunate enough to carry off the Los An
geles county prize. His large stock of
art floor tiles, CRATES, brass goods, gas
logs, open fire PLACES, etc., are not only
equal to any large demand, but in the
rear of his store at 514 South Spring
street be also runs mill and shop
where anything such as mantels and
Office and store fixtures are readily made
to order.
AS Mr.. Bohrman also makes spec
ialty OF hardwood furnishings and has a
yard aud plant for this purpose, it will
be readily seen that he might be we'll
chosen to contribute to tha artistic effect
OF any character of interior.
The woodwork finish OF the interior
of this large structure was an under
taking of no small importonee. Its
successful contamination was, however,
assured BY the fact that the entire con-
tract was in the hands of well-known
veteran in this line, Mr.. John Hanlon,
OF $40 San Pedro street. The doors,
panels and the entire wood finish work
of the building are of selected quarter
sawed oak OF the finest cabinet finish.
Under Mr.. Hanlon's contract the mill
work was furnished by the Los Angeles
planning mill, which, during several
years past, has furnished the greater
portion OF such work in this section.
From the possession of quarter in
terest in this mill three years ago, Mr..
F. Powell has rapidly acquired entire
possession OF the plant and improved
its popularity and capacity until 1T is

TITS combination OF servicability and
beauty is the result OF improvements
made by this firm over the best designs
which Mr.. Lewellen WAS able to inspect
in the east, and are therefore unsur-
passed on this coast or Chicago.
The msntels, wainscoting and floor fin-
ish of a building of this character are
matters requiring the exercise Of excep-
tional judgment and taste. Mrs. Brad
bury is therefore to be congratulated on
her choice in this direction.
The irst story hall floors, as we'll as
the floors of some OF the store rooms, are
laid with encaustic tile, while the wsins-
coting of the first story halls and the
central court and the elevator approaches
are faced in glazed brick. Over nine
carloads OF these brick have been used.
The building also contains 100
mantels of qusrter-sawed oak, with
ornamental tiles and wrought
iron CRATES and frames. The
mantel and the contract was awardsd
Mr.. Henry Bohrman. The fact that
this important work was intrusted to
him was altogether due to the reputa-
tion he has sustained during the past II
years. A great portion OF our fine resi-
dences and business blocks not only
bear evidence of his energy and skilli
but for seven years past he has been Tor

Three years ago Mr.. J. H. Hill OF this
company was an entire stranger in this
city, but by strict fidelity and unre--
mitting energy he has become one OF
the most popular men in his line. A
year ago Mr.. Hill took Mr.. ]. II.
Hetrick into partnership and the
plant now run by them fur
nishes employment for Is men, whose
handiwork can be seen on such fine
structures as Professor loves buildings
at Pasadena, the Bakersfield high school,
as we'll as the Baker and Workman
blocks and postoffice building of this
city.
The Bradbury building throughout is
heated by the low pressure double pipe
system, there being no less than 228
radiators of the ornamental futed
Detroit pattern distributed throughout
the building.
The fittings and connections to the
boilers are all done by Newell Bros, Of
20S Franklin street. who have the entire
plumbing and gas fitting contract. The
hot water return system acts almost SIM
ultsneously on each floor of the build
ing. A handsome lavatory is provided
on each floor, with fine porcelsin-lined
! bath tubs, nickel-plated traps, overflow
| and Fuller's combination cocks. The
closets are of the most improved siphon

These elevators are opsrated by what
is known az the tank system, power
being furnshed by Worthington pump
While especial attention is attracted
by the elaborate design and finish which
this firm have given the iron work OF
the court and EKylights. and while the
iron directory board and the artistic
open iron work OF the elevator shafts
and cages prove . unique feature, yet
the stairwAys OF this building undoubt-
edly attract still greater admiration.
The two leading from the fret to the
fifth floor are OF continuous steel string
ers and ornamental open iron work with
marble treads. The flights to the
second story commence with handsome
ower.barfied black newels surmounted
with exquisite chandeliers, while the
stair brackets and balustrades are elab-
orately designed, hand hammered. open

Inglewood company his order. The
home industl.y thuc readily furnishing
the $500 ,0OOlbricks for the walls of the
building willb be an interesting circum-
stance to thu reader. The plant consists
OF one Boen,lhke patent continuous brick

OF the latest improved Quaker pug mills,
two Creager brushing and grinding mills,
one power rebress, 100, 900 pallets, three
enormous drding sheds, engine houses,
offices. storsae sheds, etc. The capacity
of the pug mills is 10000 brick. In
making these brick the best California

ters the pug mill. They are then sub
iected to heavy pressure in the mill, and
are afterwards dried on pallets and not
on the ground, all parts thus becoming
equally driedl Owing to these requisites
and to the fact. that they are slowly
heated, slowly burned and cooled off
very gradually, they are OF the strongest
character possible. Tho president OF
this company is D. Freeman, whose
name is both q guarantee OF whatever
the company may undertake and a
tower OF strength in the progress of this

MENToNE.

One of the Rapidly Growing Towns of
the South.
Mentone is one OF the most delightful
of the new towns of Southern Califor-
mia, and possesses peculiar advantages
OF climate and soil.
1t adjoins the city OF Redlando on the
east, and its railroad station is three
miles from the business portion OF Red
lands.
Mentone is at the highest point on the
kite-shaped railroad and within half a
mile of the terminus of the Grafton
branch of the Southern Pacific railroad.
There are IL passenger trains daily, and
it is just IL miles from San Bsrnardino.
The altitude of Mentone is about 100
feel above the level of the sea.
The land is recognized as come of the
cheapest first.cass orange land on the
market.
There is plenty of pure water, the air
is dry and pure, and it is one OF the
healthiest places in the world.
It is peculiarly free from bugs and
fruit pests of any kind, and the fruit lie
OF magnificent quality.
Mentone will be fine manufacturing
place owing to the ample water supply
from Mill creek and the Santa Ana
river.
There is much activity in the way OF
improvements. During the past year
about quarter Of million dollars was
expended in various enterprises and i'm
provements, including business blocks
and residences.
There is q sandstone quarry above
. ha ia
by machinery, and great deal of the
fine stone is used in buildings in Los
Angeles and other places.
Oranges bear at Mentone in two years
from the bud; peaches and spricots be-
gin to bear the first year after planting
budded or grated trees; strawberry
guavas will bear fruit the second year
after planting the sesd. 1t is fine
place for olives and figs.
There are not many towns that have
brighter future than Mentone.

ANCHOR LAUNDRY.

A New Institution That Employs First-
Glass Help Only.
The Anchor laundry ID one Of the new
institutions Of Los Angeles. Messrs.
Messerly, Fout and SchAefer, who com.
pose the firm, are men of business expe-
rience, while the tins quality of the
work they are at present turning out,
which has positively no rival in the
city, is ample proof that the manager,
Mr.. A. E. Messerly, justly merits his
responsible position.
The laundry il located on Los ANGELES
street, between Seventh and Eighth,
aud is equipped with all modern appli-
snces for laundry work. They have
already a vast force. composed OF the
most experienced help, which has been
selected with exceeding care, so that

adds it's uninterrupted hum of industry
to other home resources of which Los
Angeles may justly feel proud.
Exclusive OF mill work, over 800 900
feesof lumber also entered into the CON
struction of this building. This was
furnished by the Blinn Lumber com
pany of this city, the lowest accepted
competitive bidders. This company
has its main stock at San Pedro and
commands over IL, 900. 900 feet Of Oregon

WHY SHOULD We WEEP.

WHY SHOULD We WEEP.
From Poems From "TuO Brothers."
BY ALFRED TENNYSON,
Why should We weep for those who die?
They fall. their dust returns to dust;
Their souls shall live eternally
Within the mansion of the just.
They live to die, they sink to rise,
They leave this wretched mortal shore;
But brighter suns and bluer skise
Shall smile on them for evermOre.
Why should We sorrow for the dead?
Our life on earth is but span;
They tread the path that all must tread,
They die the common death of man,
The noblest songsters of the DIAL,
Must cease when Winters frowns appear;
The reddest rose is wan and pale
When Autumn tints the changing year.
The fairest fl ,wer on earth must fade,
The brightest hope of earth must die;
Why should we moan that man was made
To droop OH earth, but live on high?
The soul, tn eternal soul must reign
In worlds devoid OF pain and strife;
Then why should mortal man complain
or death, which | lads to happier life?
