The Prospects of Real Estate This
Year,.


We have already referred to the orin-
ion Of one Of the st. Louis papers on this
subject, that Is as to the likelihood OF an
initiation in real estate this year. Speak
ing on the same subject, the Chicago Til
bune makes the following observations:
"The increasing supply Of money in
nearly all the principal eastern cities tends
to confirm the theory that there will be
more money to invest In real estate with.
in the next five or six months than for
several years before. The cause Of this
Is now generally, understood to be that
the amount Of securities Of o sufficiently
reliable character to attract the invest
ment Of capital Is very small. For the
present, capital iS finding investment to q
large extent in commodilies Breadstuffs,
provisions and cotton arc absorbing o
great deal Of money belonging TO
persons who seldom invest in such
things. But as the cropsa are grad.
ually disposed of by expectation
this means Of temporary investment OF
money will be diminished, A Chicago
banker, who has recently returned from
New York City, says that someG the
most conservative and best kno wn ,bank-
ers Of that city believe that the era Of
speculation IN railroads, which ended Q
year ago, viii be succeeded by ar.era Of
speculation IN real estate inSthe chiefcon.
mercial cities. During the great expan.

The Financial Condition of Penn
sylYanla. .s1- f-,,

byANhulAs I'D. .- n H.F
Thegreat State Of Pennsylvania is on q
sound financial footing, judging from the
figures given in. the recent message Of
Governor HARTRANFTt to the Legislature.
Be showa that during the year 1873 as
much az 81 ,604 4,672 Of the State debt was
paid of, and that there still remained in
the Treasury balance Of 81 ,S25,151. BE
also shows that the total disbursements
for ordinary expenses amounted to $8,-
566,825. The interest paid on loans
amounted to $1,56S0S9 20. The aggre.
gate Of the funded debt OF the State Is
$95,6999S4, but there are bonds Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to the
amount $5,700OOO, and the bonds Of the
Allegheny Valley Railroad to the amount
Of $S.6OO,0O0, in the sinking fund, which
reduces the State debt to $l4,773.67O.
In Pennsylvania there Is no tar for
State purposes levied upon real estate.
The whole income Is derived from taxes
on corporations and licenses. Owing to
the repeal oil certain taxes which bear
heavily on the industrial interests Of the
State, and the damage inflicted by the
panic; Governor Hartranlt estimates the
falling of in the revenue during the pres.
eut year at $1,5O0OOO, as compared with
last year. He is OF the opinion that there
will be the same reduction in the revenue
In 1875, although the expenses Of the
State will be largely increased, owing to
the additional outlay for schools, the sal.
aries Of Judges, and the pay Of members
Of the Legislature, provided for in the
Constitution. In view Of this apprehen-
ded deficiency, it might be supposed that
Governor HartrSnft would ask for an in.
crease Of taxation; he does not. He pro.
poses to meet the deficiency by making
corresponding reduction in current expen.

Ing fund for the payment OF the interest
on the State debt, and for an annual re.
dnction Of the principal In a sum not less
than $50, 900 per annun. In addition TO
the securities designated by the amend
ment, the revenue arising from certain
taxes was assigned 10 this fund. From
that time, each s1cceeding year, the In
terest on the debt has been pune tually
paid, and the portion OF prinCip pal. re.
deemed instead Of amounting to $780,
600 has grown to the iaamepse sum OF
oneto two million per year. The revenues
set apart for the sinking fund, by the ma
tural growth ol these special taxes, have
become annually much larger, while
the amount required to be paid on ac-
count Of interest, by reason Of the
rapid decrease Of the public debt, has
every year become smaller, and in this
way the annual credits to the sinking
fund have swollen to proportions never
contemplated by the orginaI friends Of the
measure. The revenues flowing 10 this
fund were last year over halt the entire
income Of the State, or $S,600,O00, while
only 81 100000 were needed TO pay the
Interest on the debt. Fsg2F3'H I'm

The town Of Addison, the county seat
Of Webster, Is located Immediately be.
tween the main Elk and the Black fork
Of that river and was originally known
BY the name Of Salt Lick, owing 10 The
fact that In former days the early settlers
used TO collect here with their kettles and
bore for salt water and then boil the
water down to salt. A salt spring still
remains TO marx thespot where they used
To- rendezvous. There are also several
other salt springs within half q mile Of
this same spring. The buffalo and elk
used to visit these licks or springs In their
journeyings back and forth and their path
can still be distinguished along the slope
Of the mountain side. r-r
THE FAMOUS SALT sULPHuR spRrNa.
Here Is the famous Salt Sulphur Spring
that has never failed to render relief 10
the afflicted who use ia waters formedi-
cal purposes. This spring was once bored
for salt TO depth Of two hundred feet,
slanting down through bed Of blue lime
stone rock aud reaching the sulphur vein
at the depth Of 80 feet. The scent Of the
odor Of sulphur arising from the water
just before the rain Is very unpleasant at
the distance OF two hundred PAGES. This
spring 10 said to be the best medical water
10 West Virginia and Virginia. There Is
likewise. another sulphur spring on

TIE MINING TPoupTpS
A dispatch from Pottsville says: The
difficulty between the miners and coal
operators in this region assumes q graVer
aspect every hour. President Gowan
has ordered a stoppage Of all improve
ments on his mines, and cessation of
all work on shafts now being sunk, and
has declared the intention to stop all oper.
ations in this region till the men submit.
This will render individual operators
powerless to work, because they will be
refused the use Of the cars and coal roads
until the controversy is settled. The
miners and operators Of the Northumber-
land company agreed to work on the old
basis OF last year, but Gowan controls the
land on which the coal is mined and the
railroad over which the coal Is trans-
ported, this action will probably amount
TO nothing. The stoppage will throw out
