tured its first series, which required a Pc
ROD of 12z months. There are sec, 900 in
mortgages to be released, as the borrowers
have paid for their homes. Upon the $50
free shares of $500 per share $4,000 are to
be paid out. The secretary, Leon Den
merry, reports that numerous loans have
been paid off and that the delinquents are
paying up more promptly than usual.
Bovee, Toy d Co. have been especially
fortunate i'll listing some of the most
choice investment and speculative PROPOSE
tons in county lands ever offered in the
real estate market. Among those which
will be sold off in tracts to suit purchasers
is the well-known Mcmahon ranch of
several thousand acres in Solano and Yolo
counties, a part of what is known as the
Wolfskill grant. Other well-known lands
recently placed in the hands of this firm
are: the Bidwell ranch at Chico, the J. S,
Cone lands, which extend from the cele-
brated Vina ranch of the Stanford estate to
Mill Creek, and the Adams ranch on Cache
Greek, Yolo County. Besides these
special properties the list of country lands
of this firm comprises notable properties in
almost every county of the State. Mr.. Toy
says his firm proposes to extensively adj
vertise these lands in the Eastern States.
and he does not expect to be repulsed
with the claim that California lands are
too high, when he can offer good alfalfa
lands in Fresno County with water right
and good buildings and fences at $50 per
acre; good rolling unimproved lands as
low as So so an acre; and as rich land as
ever man owned adjoining the Vina
ranch for $25 an acre.
From the data secured from the country
department of this firm it would appear
that the large landed prophet tors of the in
terror of the State have at last come down
to figures low enough to encourage i'm
migration and advance the general in
terests of the State.
w. NJ. Coward, formerly of Woodland,
has taken charge of the country depart
ment of Bovee, Toy & Co., and associated
with him will be Charles Gregory, recently
with Easton, Eldridge d Co.
A feature of the catalogue of country
lands offered by Thomas Mcmahon at 62S
Market street is an exchange list of small
desirable ranches in the various counties
surrounding San Francisco. Mr.. Nc
Mahon reports that what purchases are
made of country lands are by home people,
and principally by shrewd investors, who
realize that now is the time to buy in view
