twenty-f feet from the rear of the pres
ent Opera house and add it to the new
structure but the purchase of the twenty
five feet on Fourth street by Commodore
Davidson, as noted above, obviates that
necessity. The present structure will &C
cordingly be left intact and converted int
offices as soon as the new Opera house is
occupied.
NOTABLE TRANSFERS.
During the past week a number of large
and important transfers have ben con-
summated. The deeds from Messrs. Quinby
& Hallowell to VIM. f. Davidson and James
II. Davidson for their Robert street prop
erty have been placed upon record show
ing a consideration in the aggregate of
Sal 900. Before the deeds were recorded
teams were busy hauling the footirg stones
for the new Arcade building and piling
them up on Fifth street. 1t looks as
though the pressure of parties who are
already applicants for the contemplated
small hotel on the corner of Fifth and Rob
ert streets, that is to be built in connection
with the Arcade, was having its effect.
We understand there are several applicants
who are willing to pay handsome rental,
and are urging the commodore to COM
mence the structure earlier than he contem-
plated so as to push it to completion in time
for the business of next season. A crowd
of workmen are getting the rock out of
! the Opera house excavation, and the ma
sons will commence work on the founda-
tions for vaults in the new block, corner of
Fourth and Cedar streets, this week. Brick
laying will commence Just as soon as the
weather moderates enough to render it safe
to mix mortar.
! THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
has caused the enclosing board signs to be
removed from the foundation for their
new building on the corner of Jackson
and Fourth streets, presumably with
view to early resumption of building the
superstructure. This is an admirable site,
and if they will run the building up six or
roof to basement as early as tenants can
be accommodated.
NJ. NJ. FLINT
of Faribault has placed upon record his
deed from Col. Jas. King for 50x125 feet
on Fourth street, in Hopkins addition, for
which he paid $4,000.
Mr.. Flint is wealthy and highly es-
teemed gentleman who resides in Eari-
bault and who for long time has had an
eye on ST. Paul as the coming future greaS
city, and he has showed his faith by pur-
chasing some business property which it
is hoped and expected that he will improve
by erecting thereon magnificent six story
block suitable for wholesale business. He
is reticent as to his plans but he cannot
fail to see that he has the ground and the
opportunity to place some capital in the
very heart of business, where it would
prove a ''true assure vein" and yield a
perpetual and handsome income.
EDWARD LANGEvIN,
one of the oldest and most active dealers
in st. Paul realty, has closed a sale of his
mill property on Trout brook fronting or
Lafayette avenue and Westminster street
to the Northern Pacific Railroad COM pany
for $4,000, and he has come to the front
with the largest deal that has gone on record
during the week. He has bought Freeman
81 Jackson's addition to st. Paul, and over
200 acres of land. His recorded contract
shows consideration of $4,000, and he il
as pleased as 'boy with a new kite" o.
ian old man with new wife," He expects
to see the ''Paris of America" built on those
acres, or on what is left of them after the
Trunk line railroads from Alaska and Brit
ish Columbia have taken what they wan
for tracks and depots.
AMONG THE REAL ESTATE OFFICES
the past week there has been great activ-
ity, the rush has been almost equal to
midsummer, and many nonresident buy
ers are on the market The most discour.
aging thing is "no house to rent and ap
plicants by the score.
Messrs. Fairchild s. Davidson re-
port that they could rent
several hundred cottages and houses il
they were on their books to rent, but they
are not and so they can only say to all ap-
icants ''we can't rent but zoe can sell you
good house." They have some elegant
improved business property to sell, and
parties who desire to make investments Of
100000 or upwards, on property bearing
handsome rentals, and under lease to al
good and prompt tenants as there are il
the city, would do well to give them a call
They have several bargains a
from $4,000 to $125,OOO, ant
by the way business rushes in thei
office it looks as though they would sell
good portion of the city before the season
t.. is over. The business in their Office is
fair sample of what is repeated in the of
fees of other dealers and they are all to-
busy to rest in day time or sleep comforta
bly, at night.
