For rugged, precipitous hills, that a few months iigo woro worth only a fow hundred dollarc, certified chockn for n hundred thousand are now refused and property is leased at fabulous prices. This condition is not confluod to Lor Angeles; from Han Dico como ruoorta of increasing oil lindinuH. Six years ago uu enterprising individ ual bored an oil well iu Los AugeloH; siuco that timo 700 wells, each costing $:!,000, havo been sunk. While some of theso havo hecomo oxhnusted, a great many are still ruuninj;, nnd new woIIh nro bolng dug at tho rapid rnto of nt least 100 a month. A procession of tanks Ih over on the move from Iho oil districts to the various city manu factories; electric light machinery works nnd ruilwny shops enrry tills vul uablo fuel, H14 barrels of which la equal to ono ton of soft coal. Tho base of California oil Is asphaltum, Its avoraiio gravity la about 15 degrees, It is a thick, black oil, and ono of the best fuels yet discovered. Its by-products outer into the lubricating oil, tho painters, printers and other trades, nnd tho nsphaltum, nfter the oil has boon extracted, can be used for street pav ing; indeed, the ancient Mexican who inhabited theso regions n huudrod years ago used it for roofing. Thcro is no surety us to tho cost of sinking nu oil well; u safo average may bo btated nt $L',000. Going through eoft sandstone, the borer has a compar atively easy task, unloss ho drop a tool or break his tubing, when tho cost limy bo much Increased. At first the product sold Tor !f 3 a barrel of 42 gal lons, but went down to !I5 cents, at which period the railroad companies altered their engines to bum oil, for oil at that figure rosulted In vast econ omy to thorn.

A vast forco is engnged in tho manufac ture of machinery for tho oil wells, nnd, In quotlug those statistics iurofer onco to widespread bouollts of tho oil industry, some odd thousand street oil brokers nnd dealers in oil company shares must not bo forgotten, for thoso pooplo subsist, temporarily nt loast, upon tho indiroct oil output.

Thoro woro even of thorn, and they woro making tremendous effort to get back into doop water, without avail. Tho tide wns leaving them. They would open their mouths and draw in about a barrel of water nnd then spurt it through the liolo in tho top of their head 20 feet Into tho air, nnd lying sometimes on thoir sides it was llko getting in tho cross-firo of a hoso company. Mr. Chamberlain mndo tracks for homo to net his gun and a butcher knifo to carve them up. On his return he , turned loose with his gun to kill thorn, , but nfter wasting a few shots ho saw that ho could not kill them in that way, so he sailed into them with hia butcher knife, and stuck them as you ' would a hog. That did tho work, and ho soon hadfieven whales strung on the beach that wero from oight to 18 feet . long. Ho at onco commenced to strip the I blubber from tho outsido of tho body mid inside the head. Tho fat was cut into six-inch strips and thrown across A horse's back and taken home and ren dered out, which will amount to several barrols. It has a market value, nnd Mr. Chamberlain will likely realize considerable from it. Tnnurance Kate I.eis.

This in eludes the larger portion of the build- ings bolow the bluff, and the rates in I some cases were lowered much more wan tlio citizens nau reason to expect.

TRADE IS QUIETER. Quotation. Havo Weakened In BeT.rat I.lnea of limine... Bradstreet's eays: Trado is, if any thing, quieter nnd prices are lowor than a week ago, whilo efforts toward a re adjustment of productive capacity tov pros out conditions, are noted in several" lines of industry, notably iron nnd steel nnd lumber. Unsettled conditions ia tho cotton trade, and a largo failure, duo mainly to overstapling tho bull side) of tho staple, has tended to weaken quotations in several lines of speculative business. Backward crop roports nnd tho backward demand for cotton goods are of course partly responsible for the sharp break, but statistically the staple remains vory strong. Advices from tho dry goods trado aro of backward demand at retail, affecting orders in many lines, but cotton goods production is still heavy. The boot and shoo market is dull with manufacturers firm but with job bers asking for lower prices. Lumber is on the whole wenkor, partly owing to tho unsettled conditions in tho building trado and partly to tha fooling that prices have been, pushed too high, and this feeling is likowise true of a number of other lines. Almost alone among iron and steel products, structural material is firm and much is hoped for in tho direction of now business. The weakness in cast iron pipe is inducing some curtailment of production, notably at tho South.
