BOOMING BOISE.

The good people of beautiful Boise City.
Idaho, are making extensive arrangements
for the entertainment of the Salt Lake and
Ogden excursionists that leave here on the
22d for the capital of Idaho.
From all reports, Boise is forging ahead
in fine style. We hear of rapid real estate
sales, of new additions, of contemplated
electric street car lines, of immense irriga-
ton schemes under way and general wax
ing up all through Southwestern Idaho.
Boise people are firm in the faith that
their city will be to Idaho all that Helena
is to Montana.
This excursion was organized Jointly by
the Boise Board of Trade and some Salt
Lake gentlemen interested in that town.
Old residents of Idaho say that along about
June 1st the Boise valley is Garden of
Edel, veritable oasis in the desert. At
any rate Miss B. B. beautiful Boise) will
have on her spring duds and invites all
her friends to come and see her. The
round trip rate is only SIS. The excur
sion must go as one body through to
Boise. At that place it scatters and the
passengers can return at pleasure within
80 days and stop off returning, if desired.
The Union Pacific officials or Hoyt Sher-
man will tell you all aboutit.

A Salt Laker in Omaha.

The following article appeared in an
Omaha paper few days ago:
A warrant that was issued at the police
court yesterday morning Will probably
cause quite ripple of excitement among
the men who dabble in Omaha dirt. The
warrant calls for the arrest Of B. r. Ball.
who has an Office in room AZ, Baker block.
and Willis N. Grant is the complaining
witness. Grant alleges that Ball has. as
his agent, embezZeled and fradulently con
verted to his own use 81 100 of his (Grant's)
money.
Grant was asked by reporter to give
his version of the affair, but refused to do
so until he could consult his attorney.
Ball was found at his Office and asked
about the matter. AT first he seemed TO be
at a loss to account for it, but finally gave
his story. He says that Grant owned a
house and lot on Parker street which he.
as agent, traded for lot in Orchard hill
The Parker street property had an incum
brance of 50, 500, which was assumed by
the purchasers. The lot in Orchard hill
had $3.50 incumbrance. He negotiated a
$500 loan on this lot and after paving the
$3.50 lien and deducting his commission he
RENTED the balance to Grant. who is a
resident of Salt Lake City. Grant came
here few days ago and raised some
trouble about the transaction Then Ball
offered to again trade the property to the
original owners, as they were willing to do
so. He made out and made tender of the
deed, which was refused. He declared
that he had never Eisappropriated any
money entrusted to him.

Real Estate and Building Notes.

The Omaha and Council Bluffs parties
who were awarded the contract for build
Ing the new Commercial National bank
building for $4,000 have failed to come to
time, and the work will be re-let to-mor-
row. The fence around the excavation
projects so far into the street, the bank
people say, because they need room for I'M
loading the heavy iron shipments which
will soon begin to arrive.
Everyone is looking at the striking and
unique transom york over the windows of
the Zion's bank building. 1t is all done in
beveled plate glass, and the transoms, as
well as the plate glass with which the
big building is furnished from top to bot
tom, is the work of the Sears & Liddle
company, of this city.
The mammoth and handsome iron pillars
which are found in the Zion's bank building
and which excite comment from many visi-
tors to the institution, are not imported, as
many may suppose, but are turned out
from the Silver Bros. iron works in this
city, whose foundry executes details of this
kind as well as any works east or west.
The news that the columns in the bank are
'home made'' will be read with a good deal
OF surprise by many who have admired
their massiveness and beauty.

FINANCE AND MINING
An Excellent Trade in all Lines
of Business.
THE ORE AND BULLION OUTPUT
Sale of the Queen of the HilIs-At Phoebe
The Occur d'AIenes-Facts From
Our Own Great Camps.

A glance over the business of the week
passed is productive of nothing but the
most satisfactory results, and investiga-
ton shows that our business men generally
were never before so prosperous. Croak-
ers there are, of course; croallers there
would be were each green leaf on our mil
lions of trees coated with silver, each bud
diamond, each branch golden one
These, however, can scarcely be called
business men; they belong to that class
of people who are never satisfied: whose
jealousy is aroused at the success of their
more Industrious neighbors; whose ideas
are narrow and contracted; and whose
very presence in a community, were they
numerous enough, would drive the more
progressive out of it.
The real estate market has been quiet
The only dealers, however, who have com
plants to make are, as we have before
said, those who drifted in here with the
combined capital of silk hat and an I'M
limited amount of self-assurance, expect
ing to get rich in day, week or month
These, 1t is true, have, in great measure
at least. been doomed to disappointment;
some have floated out as lightly as they
came in, and no void has been left behind
The bona fide Salt Lakers, however, are
here, and here they will remain. l. is
merely history repeating itself. The same
thing happened two years ago; but the men
who came here with the idea of making
this city their permanent home, stayed and
have had no occasion to regret their de-
cision.
There is one thing, however, on which
we all are to be congratulated, and that is,
there is no cessation TO the building boom,
which grows in magnitude and Importance
each day.
The architects and contractors are
crowded with work, and the quarries and
brick kilns are now yielding abundantly.
so that we need have no further fears
there will be a shortage in building ma
terials. Hundreds of carloads of timber
are brought in weekly by the various rail
roads centering here. All the envy and
jealousy exhibited by Salt Lakes worst
enemies has had no effect.
The opening of the State Bank of Utah.
with capital of S500,00O, was one of the
events of the week; 1t will not be many
days before the Utah National, with the
same amout of capital, will throw open its
doors, and in short time thereafter the
National Bank of the Republic will also be
q candidate for public favor.
Two or three large mercantile firms have
been added to our already big showing in
this direction.
Half dozen big building projects have
also been inaugurated.
The savings banks have increased their
rate of interest from to per cent. per
annum.

THE STATE BANK.
A Brilliant Record For the First Five DAYS in
Business.


Our reporter encountered H. j. Grant
last evening at the State bank of Utah on
Main street, closely engaged in making
figures.
s'There are getting to be so many banks
here now," began The HERALD, ''that it is
matter of some curiosity to know what
kind of an opening the new bank has had.
Have you any objection to telling THE
HERALD9'
''Not the least in the world" said Mr..
Grant. "Our showing is not of the kind to
be hidden under a bushel Thirty per cent.
of our capital was paid in on Monday last
and we began business on Tuesday morn
ing the 9th inst. We had anticipated open
ing in THE HERALD building, but at the
last moment SO to speak, we secured this
place and naturally our quarters were not
ready for us in time, so that we have been
carpenter shop the greater part of the
week, as well as bank. But amid all the
hammering and saving, thesshavings and
the debris, our deposits have grown each
of the five days until this evening the
amount we have subject to check and on
deposit in the savings department reaches
within a trifle of 100000"
''And how are your loans?'
''The demand is very strong If we had
our entire capital paid in instead of only 80
per cent we would have no difficulty in
loaning it,"

CENTRAL PARK.

We again call the attention of intending
purchasers and those contemplating build
ing permanent residences to the advantages
OH red by investment in this subdivision.
Flrst-It is the most beautiful place in
or about Salt Lake City, having fine view
OF the lake, the city, surrounding noun
talns and the beautiful, fertile valley to
the south.
Second-Being just outside of the CITY
limits and lying along the State road, the
principal thoroughfare of the territory YOU
escape the noise, dust and other discom-
forts OF an inside residence and yet retain
all the advantages of good business
thoroughfare.
Third-It is supplied with the best
artesian water free from mineral and other
obnoxious matter.
Fourth-The taxes are nominal and will
remain so for years to come. This is a fact
worthy OF serious thought to those who
contemplate permanent residence in a
growing city. 70 meet increased taxation
means an increased income. The first is
inevitable; the latter not easy to obtain.
neutrality-suspicious. is assured by the
extension of the electric car system, right
to your doors. There is no guess work
about this, as the track is being pushed
down State road at present and will make
this property at an early date.
SiXth-In comparatively short time
business must drift towards the south; the
agricultural, mineral and in fact nearly all
other products of this territory come from
the south and southwest. 1t is the ap-
proachable side of Salt Lake city and is
now the garden spot of the territory.
A final reason and the most important
perhaps Is as TO whether 1t Is a good specu-.
latlve Investment. Lands are and have
been held at a higher price along the
State road than elsewhere in this city. We
have enumerated few of the causes for
this, but the principal reason is that
capitalists who have grown up with the ter
rltorlal growth and who know the drift
OF public opinion have not only invested in
these lands at the highest prices, but now
refuse to sell at almost any figure, satisfied
to hold on to lands which must double and
quadruple in value in very short time.
Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore" We are offering these lots now at
acreage prices on the easiest terms. Be
not wiser than your neighbors and then
tell people two years hence how much
lower you could have bought property in
Central Park than now. We ask you to
give these remarks candid consideration
and then come and see the property we
offer you. We will abide by our State
ments and guarantee you more for your
outlay than any other real estate invest
ment in Salt Lake city to- day.

the very best possible form. With the
building and its appointments, with the
furniture of the new bank and with the ar
engagements the greatest satisfaction was
expressed. The proposition to increase
the capital stock from 100000 to $3.50, 600
was submitted and unanimously agreed to
without any opposition whatever
1t was also decided that the opera house
should be lighted by electricity.
Driving about the town and looking the

OF improvement going on, and they ex-
pressed the most profound confidence in
the future of the city. The visitors all left

1t is predicted that mining operations in
American Fork canon will be prosecuted
more actively this season than any time
since the old Millar mine shut down, away
back In the seventies Among the proper
ties which will be actively worked viii be
the New North West group, which includes
the famous Dutchman mine, the Lone
Pine, the New Idea group and the Kalama-
zoo. A number Of promising prospects will
also be developed, and a well-informed gen
tleman estimates that in the neighborhood
of 100000 will be expended in develop
ment work. S. Osborn is arranging to

was reported as very good one.
Frisco was heard from, as usual, through
the Horn Silver.
The improved roads at Park city have
had good effect and several of the more
prominent properties reported.
The Cottonwoods were represented by
one solitary shipment.
Bingham was very fairly represented
There were very heavy shipments from
Tintic.
News from all the sampling works is to
the effect that business is very lively.
BY the end of the present week we may
expect to see greatly increased activity in
mining circles generally.
In addition to the big shipments given
below, there were several small lots from
Nevada,

Four Days Showing a Radical
Advance in the Transfers.
THE BIG SALES OF SATURDAY.
Encouraging Aspect Of the Market and Greater
Activity in Building than During
Any Previous Week.
S3S3.134 90

LII any satisfaction can be extracted from
a quiet weeks business it is to be found in
the above tabulated statement of the trans
fers. 1t will be noticed that hard pan was
struck on Wednesday when the sales re-
corded were but 20.S35 Thursdays
transfers jumped up nearly dou-
bic those Of the day previous
and was followed on Friday by an even
greater advance Great as this gain was,
1t was but an indication of the upward ten
dency OF the market, and the strength was
further attested by yesterdays transfers,
which aggregated Sl52. 965. This surely is
encouraging, and if the record of the last
four days will be repeated next week there
Will be every reason to believe that the
bottom has been reached and that we are to
witness substantial advance in the sale
OF realty. While an active market is desir-
able, there seems to be little inclination on
the part OF conservative dealers to see any
radical advance on present prices for some
time TO come.
The many large business blocks under
way had very good week of it, owing to
a better supply of stone. and the masons
were kept busy with their hammers and
trowels piling up the massive foundations
that are to hold the immense superstruc-
lures that shortly will tower towards the
sky.
