MISSING ORE BARGE FOUND ASHORE ON GRAHAM ISLAND Steamer Flamingo, From the North, Reports That the Richard IIT Is a Total Wreck VANCOUVER, B,/ C., Feb. 22.—Two months ago the ore barge Richard III, Qowned by the Dunsmuirs and formerly a coal carrler between Vancouver Isl- and and San Francisco, was lost by the | tug Pilot in northern waters. The barge broke from her anchorage dur- ing a storm at night and dlsappeared. The steamer Flamingo from the north today reported the Richard III a total wreck on Graham Island. —_— TO FIGHT COUNTY DIVISION Meeting Called at San Jose to Oppose Bill Before Legislature SAN JOSE, Feb. 22.—A special meet- ing of the Chamber of Commerce and citizens generally was called today to be held tomorrow at 10 a. m. to adopt resolution= antagonistic to the county division bill now before the Legisiature and to provide measures for fighting it. This county is specially interested, owing to the fact that the southern portion of the county desires to be set ft as a county by itself. | | A visit to the roof of the Unien Trust building wlil open the eyes of the most casual observer as to the stride that has been made {n San Francisco toward rehabllitation. Two months ago the wholesale .district was practically un- touched. Bricks and broken pillars covered sites where once stood stately structures, ‘and. it eppeared as If the owners were indiffercnt as to the fate of their holdings,® All this is changed now. In no part of the city is there more activity. Nine piledrivers can be seen from' the top of this building working in ‘the wholesale district, and there is not an ldle lot, either north or south,of Market street. The buildings going up are large and substantial, and many of them are being constructed so as to enable owners to add to their height. The work of clearing lots is DProgressing with feverish haste, and there is more construction being done by night than in the history of any clty. . Work upon the enormous structure on the southwest corner of Market and Fourth streets never ceases. Rock is piled there by numeroys wagops da and night and it is rapidly crushed 2nd made ready for use in the erection of | a great structurs of reinforced con-| crete, One of the most encouraging signs {s the rapid progress that is being made on the new hotels, and also on those that are being repaired. With the open- ing of more hous lodging-houses and the so-called pri- vate hotels many families that are now compelled to live across the bay or! down the peninsula will return to town. The first of these small hotels td open are reaping & rich harvest, and big prices are asked for indifferant accom- | modations. By June, however, there will be at least twenty houses open to the public, and there will follow the inevitable reduction in rent. , WILL NOT REDUCE VALUES Operators and owners ale still at loggerheads as to values. Operators complain that owners by adhering to fictitious values are injuring the city, while the owners reply that the op- erators are confronted with their own statements that building Is active all over the city. It is generally conceded that in cer- tain parts of the city thers has been an increase in valuation, but this in- crease applies to a comparatively small area. A real estate man quoted a num- ber of instances where an arbitrary valuation had prevented a sale from being consummated. He particularly recalled the story of a man who wanted a plece of property in Pine or Bush street east of Mason or Leaven- worth, for a large building. The op- erator knew of one or two pieces which he himself had sold to a man, with buildings on them, for $250 a front | The houses were swept away by | foot. the fire and the owner had repeatedly expressed a wish to sell. When a pur- chaser presented himself the owner asked $500 a front foot and was ready to quarrel because the offer was re- jected on the ground that it was too high. Small lots south of Market street, which were covered with flats from which the owners derived an Iincome of $45 a month, are now being held even higher than before the fire ‘b cause there are no buildings on them sarcastically observes the operator. The same conditions prevail in the ‘Western Addition. For 25-foot lots on which stood flats that were rented for $50 or $60 a month and which, includ- ing the building, could have been bought for $6000 er $6500 before ths fire the sum of $8000 and $9000 is now being asked. The property that has gone up in value,” said an operator, “i{s in the outskirts of the city. These lots are selling better than ever before, due to the fact that people are being com- pelled to buy homes because of the enormous rentals east of Presidio ave- nue. BUILDING UP THE CITY High rentals cannot be looked upon s an unmitigated evil when they have so largely contributed to building up the ouskirts of the city. Evemywhere new tracts are being opened upiand the phenomenal success which has #ttended the sale of the Parkside lots has given | an impetus to others to improve sim- flar tracts for suburban homes. C. F. O'Brien of 1107 Post street, agent for the Mission street tract, sald yesterday: Suburban property fs plcking up and the demsnd for {t may reaeh the proportions of a smail-sized boom this spring. The mechanic, the laborer and the elerk are beginniug to realize that they can acquire s home of their own by in- vesting monthly a part of thelr savings. These people will soon be paring rent (o hemselve w i le_ the property they have bought at a low price on easy terma will be steadily increasing If u realty agent ahould advertise 100 per cent profit on his offerings he would be suspected of misrepresentation, but there s no doubt that the price of many suburban lots now on the market will donble within the next vear. The demand for lots fn our Mission-strect tract in growing steadily and we expect to dispose of ll of it within sixty days. . . San Francisco i3 overcrowded, rents are high and the people are just beginning to realize the sdventage of a home In the suburbs on a car line. Al of these subdivisions within the S-cent car limit will be sold ont this spring to men who wish to build thelr own homes or to make a profitable fnvestment. Delay in buying now meens higher prices next fall or the accept- Auce of property more remote from the business dlstrict of the city. A SPLENDID LOCATION Another suburban tract known as “Hillcrest,” will be bidding shortly for public favor. A syndicate of San Fran- clsco capitalists has purchased from John Daly and gothers the Porto Suela Rancho, situated on the boundary line of San Franclsco and San Mateo Coun- ties, and extending from the Southern Pacific right of way to Misslon street. The purchasers of the property aro making arrangements to subdivide the me and the American Real Bstate Company, composed of Oliver C. Stire. Douglas S. Watson and others, will have full charge of, the tract. The prop- erty has been named “Hillcrest,” and ;"23[ be placed on sale on March 17, It 18 easily accessible, having con- nections with the <Ocean Shore and Bouthern Pacific and the city and sub- urban lines of the United Railroads.

A SINGULAR SPECULATOR | One of the most interesting personal- |ities in the real estates market today {18 8. Weinstein, who arrived here about | three months ago ffom Butte, Mont., and who ie credited by operators with having made in the neighborhood of 1 $100,000 during that period. The figure is undoubtedly exaggerated, but it is | true that Weinstein, through his '!hrewdness and his great faith in all | classes of real estate, has made good | money out of his deals. He has no of- | fice. "He simply goes about the real | estate offices from morning till night. He sometimes buys property without ever golng to look at it, and sells it | the next hour i{f he can make a few | dollars on the transaction. Only once | dld Weinstein lose on a deal, and Abe Ruef was the gainer. The story is that he purchased a plece of property down { | to fear that he had made a mistake Ruef appeared at the psychological mo- | ment when Weinstein was doubting his judgment and secured the property for $16,000. Weinstein works on one fixed plan. He buys old shacks and property which { apparently have depreciated in value. | He then improves the buildings. If he | buys a house he raises it a story or so, | puts stores on the ground floor, gives the place a liberal coat of paint, im- | proves the plumbing, and rents ail at a | a house and lot which brought in about $40 a month and make It yield him §175 a month. Welnstein says that his success is due to maxking up his mind quickly. “While the other man goes home and i sleeps over a proposition,” he explains, “I buy and sell before he arrives at a decision. If you want to make a suc- cess in the real estate business you have to keep moving." ACTIVITY SOUTH OF MARKET A sale of more than ordinary interest, in that it indicates the shift of whole- sale trade to the streets south of Mar- | ket street near the water front, was ]m&de last week. A. C. Luhrs bought from James Denman one of his water lots on the west side of Spear street, | between Mission and Howard, for $35, 1000, The block before the fire was | largely occupied by planing mills and | factories. the strongest wholsalers on the Pacific Coast. At one of its northerly corners are the Brandenstein and Cluff firms. At the southerly end the Folger firm is located. In the middle of the block are the offices of the Sperry Flour Com- |pany and Sussman, Wormser & Co. On | the other side of the block, in Main street, are M. Getz & Co. The lot sold is immedlately south of the six-story bullding being constructed for Suss- man, Wormser & Co. on the old site of the California planing mill The wide streets make abundant wagon room for the retailers calling for supplies from the wholesalers, and | the proximity to the wharves and spur | tracks accounts for the shift to this | guarter of the town. It is understood at a similar price was refused for a water lot in Main street immediately | in the rear of the Luhrs purchase. | George P. Ide & Co. have signed a ten-year lease with Hawks Bros. for a two-story and basement building to oc- cupy the old site of the Indianapolis Furniture Company, In Mission street, near Fourth. The lot is fifty-three feet in Mission street and 160 feet deep, run- jrung torough the Jessie street, and giv- ing exceilent facilities for receiving and shipping freight. ! will be put in strong enough to carry six floors and the plans call for & mod- ern structure. ‘Wolf & Hollman have sold to the Levi Strauss Realty Company for the account of Mary E. Chilton and Mary | L. Zimmerman the property on the west line of Valencia street running 160 feet in Valencia from Clinton Park to Bros- nan street, with a uniform depth on | | The price paid was $100,000. This is the largest transfer made in this sec- tion in years and will undoubtedly set new values for Valencia street. Immediately after the fire Wolf & Hollman leased this property to Levi Strauss & Co. and work was at once commenced on a factory building, which has just been completed. The plant is the finest and largest of its kind In the United States, contains over 100,000 square feet of floor ;pl(‘e and will ac- commodate over 1000 employes. There has been installed a modern fire-fight- ing system, by which in three minutes the entire building could be flooded with 60,000 gallons of water, kept ready on the premises. There is an elaborate ventilating system, by which a. con- stant change of warm or cold air is pumped through the bullding. A cafe will be maintained in the bullding for employes. Levi Strauss & Co. intend to improve the property further by the e: on of a large brick hotel building on the Valencia street frontage. lngY TO BUILD .
