pleted negotiations for the purchase of

mile from Lake Crystal. The farm is a
good one, containing 22S acres, and the
site for a home is hard to equal. The
consideration is 81 900.
-Messrs. Jensen d Firestone have
purchased the lot occupying % feet front
adjoining their carriage works, from j..
Fowler, Esq. This gives them ground
sSxSS feet in extent, and they contem-
plate the erection of a new structure on
the unoccupied portion, and the raising
Of their old shop, all to be three stories
high and under one roof, with a good
cellar under the Whole. The prepare

probably be done during the winter and
The building done early in the spring.
In our real estate sales to-day will
be noticed the sale of a tract in north
Mankato by Mr.. Christensen to j.. b.
Hodapp, of the Canning company. This
.ract is located Mt the north end of the
on the Nicollet side of the river,
md we understand that Mr.. Hodapp
will begin preparations at once for the
erection of large substantial buildings
for canning works. Spiles will be driven
his fall, and the structures completed
in the spring. This surely indicates that
the canning enterprise has come to stay.
