BRILLIANT ENDORSEMENT.
BY Health Journal of New York, Aug
ust a. 1S99-J. A. Davis, Md, Editor
and Manager.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases Of
debiltation, and they can safely order
his beer, made by the Capital Brewing
company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
american Journal of Health and can
De seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
Sortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors we are pleased to
sell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.
Yours, L. H. DEE,
Proprietor of HOFFMAN.

TRACTS OF LAND ON THE CHRIS
TIANA.
The stockholders Of the Diamond State
Iron Company met yesterday and leased
the plant to the Diamond Steel Com
pany, which was recently chartered un-
der the new corporation law.
The advantage TO be gained from this
was fully explained TO the stockholders
and every detail Of the deal was gone
into. The Diamond Steel Company has
a capital stock of S3,OOO,OO0 and the Dla-
mond State Iron Company a capital Of
I N,OOOOO0. The companies combined VIII
have a capital Of S4,OOO,0O0. All the stock
was represented yesterday afternoon.
The matter of arranging the details was
left to The directors. and after this IS
done, officers of the combined companies
will be elected.
The stock Of the new company has been
brought out in Philadelphia, although it
is not yet listed there with even greater
success than attended the floating Of the
Tidewater Steel Company. Diamond
State was not offered publicly, being
taken entirely by the clients Of the bank
ing houses, who planned the scheme. but
even In that limited field. the $1,000, 200
stock was eleven or twelve times over
subscribed. The subscription price was
G. but the stock sold on the curb at 91s
per share.
Daniel w. Taylor has sold to the new
company two tracts of land. One tract
Is thirty-six acres. belonging to the
LObdell Car Wheel Company. 1t Is on the
south side OF the Chrlstlana river ad-
joining the land of the Diamond State
Iron Company and on the west Il has
a frontage of 1000 feet on the Christiana
river and runs back to the Wilmington
and Northern and Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks. This gives the company
the benefit OF the railroad lines of the
Pennsylvania. Baltimore and Ohio and
Philadelphia and Reading systems.
The other tract Of land purchased con-
tains something over forty-nlne acres
and was sold by Mr.. Taylor for the
Christiana River Improvement Company
1t is on the South Side, over Third street
bridge, and practically joins the property
Of the old company on the east. II 81

tiana river and Chrstana avenue, and
extends up Ito the land of the Natlona
Dredging Company. 1t IS opposite tn,
mouth Of the Brandywine and has q
frontage Of over 1900 feet on the. Chris
tiana river. No better site for a manu-
featuring establishment was located OF
the river than this.
The Diamond State Iron Company yes
terday received its first cargo Of iroI
from Cuba, the schooner Alice J. Crab
tree having arrived from Havana. Regu
lar shipments will be received from
Cuba. 1T Is claimed that six tons of Gu
ban iron can be handled at Wilmington
for the same price that five tons Of LAX
Superior iron is handled at Pittsburg.
Other large manufacturing concerns ar
looking for sites along the Christians
river. Although few Of them are n
large as the Diamond Steel Company o
the Henry G. Morse syndicate. yet the
will occupy considerable land and Civ
employment to large number Of men.
