COUNCIL OF RICHMOND
 STUDIES WHARF PLAN
With Engineer, Takes Up Matter of
 Work on Inner Harbor Channel.

With Engineer, Takes Up Matter of
 Work on Inner Harbor Channel.
 RICHMOND, March 7.-The City Council and Engineer P. A. Haviland are going over the plans for the muni' cipal wharf to be constructed in con nection With the municipal tunnel, now under way.
 The wharf, TAO feet long, will be located on the outer end of the main channel of the inner harbor, which the Federal engineers have approved and for which money is to be approp- riated by Congress. Construction of this wharf, which will be located near the Santa Fe terminal wharves, is the actual start on the inner harbor.
 The first portions of the new har- bor to be constructed will be the out CT channel and the main basin. Con- struction of the municipal wharf, Is necessary to give immediate use of the entrance channel for shipping purposes.
 Colonel Rees' survey of the main basin extends from Brooks Island to Point Isabel, near Stege. Construc' tion may be greatly epedited under a plan that is being formulated to re- ceive aid from those who claimed tide lands embraced in the recent decision of the Supreme court. It is thought that legal way can be found to give part of these tide lands back to the claimants if they will help in the con struction of the harbor.

 Property There Is Recorded.

Special to "The Examiner")
 RICHMOND, May 9.-This has been another big week in realty sales in Richmond. all the subdivision owaers reporting business that is beyond any thing yet recorded here.
 Among the investors from various places were more than 100 from San Francisco and Oakland. The residents of those two big cities are becoming thoroughly alive to the fact that here on the deep water of Contra Costa county, which is met by two transcor- tinental railroads, is building city which has advantages which will ever. tually give it big population. These investors see about them the proper ty of enormous value that was bought in earlier days when the big cities in which they reside were starting like Richmond and realize that in this city is now a similar opportunity.

SoURDoUG FROM CHISANA
 SAYS ITS A GOOD CAMP


 "The Chlsana will be a cood camp, take It from me-" said William Huson this morning who is enroute to Seattle for the winter after whole year spent in the Chisana diggings. They are just beginning to find the good ground now" said Mir. Huson, "al' though there were some rich spots when the first excitement was on. You see, 1t is a tough country to pros. pect and only those with lots of faith remained, Most of those who went in- to the country year ago got discour- aged because there was no more rich spots showing up on the surface like the James ground-they left curslng the country. but those who remained are not sorry" MT. Huson says about 15O will winter in Chisana,
 Mir. Huson is one of the oldest sour dpughs of the North. He was in Ju- neau in the early ninties and went into Dawson in 1897, In 1899 he stamped. ed with a dog team from Dawson to Nome and was there during the palmy days. When Fairbanks was struck he was again in on the ground floor and stayed in the Panama metropolis dur ing it's greatest activity. One year ago he went into the Chisana. He was accompanied by Mrs. Huson who has been with him in all his Northern experiences. They walked out over the trail and say that it is not bad travelling. Mir. Huson will go back in the spring.

U. S. ENGINEERS
 VISIT RICHMOND

RICHMOND, Aug. 15.-The visit of the United States Army Engineers to this city Thursday is expected to be of great importance in the matter of harbor development as the engineers personally saw the advantages pos sessed by this city. They were i'm pressed with the development that has already taken place in the build ing of large wharves and piers on the natural water front of the city and were equally impressed with the site of the Inner Harbor.
 Colonel Rees, chief of the staff of army engineers in charge of harbor development on the Pacific coast, was in charge of the party, which included Colonel William M. Black, president of the Board; Colonel Frederick Ab- bolt, Colonel Lancing W. Beech and Lieutenant Colonel Henry s. New conner, and Secretary c. H. Webber. The trip was made on the new gaso- line yacht Suisun, which has just been completed for the use of Colonel Rees' department.
 The fact that much work is under way and that contracts for more have been let is an indication of the pro gress Richmond is making in devel- oping her harbor facilities.
 The City Council made a trip through the upper drift of the munich pal tunnel this week and noted the work of concreting the arch of the bore. Superintendent Carillo says the tunnel will be finished November 1st.
 The Standard Oil Company is still at work on the big job of widening the cut leading from it's refinery to it's long wharf. A big force of men and teams is at work increasing it's tankage capacity near the Gately Francisco Chronicle.
