located and bound to increase in value. it
cannot but prove splendid investment.
There is also $50 feet frontage on Valencia
street, corner of Hermann, which is one of
the most valuable business properties in
this City to-day, and also $50 feet on Mis-
sion street, near Twelfth, which is desir-
able for both business and residence sites.
The most valuable property and the peer
of them all is the $50 feet frontage on
Market street, near Twelfth, which as an
investment will prove veritable bonanza
in few years, owing to its location.
The property on Twelfth street, near
Market, will also be sold, as well as 1000

| teenth and Castro streets. which is excel
lent business property. Also five residence

One of the features of Won Rhein & Co.'s
auction next Thursday is 4 portion OF Mis-
sion block As, which belongs to the City
and which is sold under order of Mayor
Sutro and the Board of Supervisors. The
lot IS one OF number of pieces reclaimed
from what was formerly Mission Creek,
which, since they are now of no benefit to
the City, should be disposed of so that the
proceeds OF sales may so into the treas
ury. The auctioneers are considering
whether or not to offer the entire piece in
one parcel or subdivide IL into four or
more lots. There IS a large piece at Seven
teenth and Folsom streets which brings in

To twenty of the eXcursiOnists who ar
rived during the last fortnight E. K. Alsip
81 Co. have sold land in the Fair Oaks
colony, Sacramento County, in tracts of
two and a half acres to twenty acres, and
they all paid deposits. Others are daily
coming from the East with view of pur-
chasing, and these agents exrect large
party in a few days. Those who do not
purchase IN this tract are scattering over
the northern portion of the State, and in
many instances have purchased elsewhere.
Central California is having more general
advertisement in the East than at any
period in its history, and the literature
that is being distributed is well worth the
perusal OF CalifornianS as well as Eastern
men, as it is the choicest of the kind ever
issued, giving facts and figures bound to
be convincing.
