SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 2.-(Regu-
lar Correspondence The insurance
adjusters are at work on the losses by
the recent fire, and with their expert
builders are going over the ground care
fully before making the decisions that
are anxiously waited for. The losses to
what might be called outsiders, those
whose houses were scorched and not
burned down, are occupying the first
attention and will be first adjusted that
repairs may be commenced at once.
Most of the burned buildings will be re-
built as soon as the losses are adjusted
and the money paid over. The Episco-
pal church will probably secure a little
outside donation, and calling on the
members for what they can afford to
give, will put up a neat but not expen-
sive building on the site of the burned
edifice. An ordinance has been drawn
up and will be presented to the board of
city trustees next Tuesday by which the
board can control all buildings erected
in the city that are likely to prove dam
gerous. This will be done without ex
tending the fire limits, as the latter move
would work a hardship on many who
wish to put up frame cottages, but it
will keep entirely on the outside in a

Of the year. the ownership of many
claims upon which assessment work has
not been done will expire, and nearly
every one has his eye on a claim he wants
to jump. Preliminary location notices
have been in great demand all day.
Where the claim is in particularly de-
sirable neighborhood several parties will
try to be the first on the ground. At
this time last year trouble was looked
for, but 1t Is not thought to be at all like
ly this year. Some of these claims were
taken up early in the year of 1896; not
bit Of development work was done; still
the locators could hold them almost
two years and keep away a man who
would be glad to develop them. The new
law requiring $50 worth of development
work within sixty days is blessing to

dog.
