There is more building of beautiful resi-
dences in this block than en- any other in
the city There are several mere fine resi-
dences contemplated this fall, to be built
near by
MIR. Frank Hurlburt received s., 500 in
surance for his loss recently sustained by
the Broom hotel fire.
Sheriff BelkRap left for the south yes
terday afternoon ON business. His mouth
was sealed regarding the object OF his
trip.
Where wili acity be found with the streets
more torn up and the sidewalks in places
more Inpassable by Instructions caused
by maSens, stonecutters, carpenters, etc,
than is the case in Ogden! Scarcely a
block can be found where some one is not
engaged eXoavating for water, gas, sewer
or other pipes, or where the walks are not
covered with stone, mortar or other build,
ing material. And yet no one complains,
hut rather rejoices to see the prosperity,
under which the city is now so happily pro
crossing.
Mr.. George Seager was in town yesterday
obtaining additional tools and supplies for
his men at work on the Denver, situated in
Ogden canon. Mr.. Seager reports the mine
looking nicely, he having only few days
since uncovered a fine bed of carbonates,

makes this lead valuable property. The
vein is over six feet wide and the indica-
lions are fattering for a large and rich
mine at no distant day. Mr.. Seager is much
interested to see the new smelter started.
Robbie, the twelve year-old son of r. C..
Wilson, took sudden departure from his
pleasant home in this city this morning,
and the first news received from him was
a telegram at noon to his father from
Salt Lake, saying he was en- rOut
for Denver. Robbie was accompanied by
his playmate, Henry Hansen, twelve years
of age, who has been employed as carrier
for the Standard. The first word his folks
received was telegram similar to Robbie's.
Henry is son of policeman Hansen. The
marshal was telegraphed to catch the boys
and return them home.
Mr.. z. A. Reed and party, who went to
Corinne Friday evening, returned Saturday
noon after an enjoyable drive. They re-
port Corinne pretty dead at present, but
the prospects for the town another year
are bright The Boutwell, canal people
have purchased thousands of acres of land
near there, which will be very valuable
property as soon as the canal is completed
far enough to water the ground. Mr.. Reed
has 100 acres of land near the town, and ad-
ioing the town site, which will also soon
come in and make the lucky owner some
good money, he having purchased it cheap.
The roads between Ogden and Corinne are
good and the twenty eight mile drive is far
pleasanter than trip by train.
Several new additions have been laid out
during the past week, among which are the
Valley View, adjoining the City View,
l0gden's first addition and directly east
of the reform scheol. This addition com
prises but eight acres, but lays most beau
tifully for residence purposes. The Rush
ton addition is the old Griffith fruit tract,
between Twentieth and Twenty second
streets and comprises forty acres. This
tract was recently purchased by Judge
Scott, of Denver, for S45, 900 and will be as
popular as the lannon's Mob Hill addition
9'he fruit ON this addition is excelled by
none and the whole tract lays admirably
for homes. Mr. S. F. Spencers addition
is situated on north Main street and the
whole ten and half acres will cut up
nicely. North Main street is getting to be
very popular for residences since the
motor line has been running.
There are several other beauti-
full additions being plated and which
will be placed on the market in few days.
Desirable cheap lots so near the business
streets, at such reasonable prices, and on
so easy terms, make Ogden popular place
of residence for the laboring class, who can
build homes for themselves. The building
associations, with which Ogden is so well
represented, are factor to aid the people
to home and allow them to pay for the
same from their monthly salaries.
