| most important building deals ever made
| in Phoenix was yesterday contaminated,
| and from it fine business block will
rise where now exists that noxious nest
] known as Chinatown. though EN- bracIng
but two city lots.
Mainly through the efforts of T. W.
Hins a company was yesterday organized
for this purpose, and enough stock was
subscribed to purchase the two lots on
First street south of Adams, upon which
now stands the long, raklsh building
which is but combination of Chinese
stores with a network of cells beneath, as
| describe in the Republican some time
ago.
Today the Chinese occupants of this
building will be served with notice to
va9ate on the first of Novembe their
rents being paid up to that time. If at
the expiration Of the time of limitation
| they do not move, forcible eviction will
| swiftly follow.
The quarters which long have been a
| disgrace to a civilized city will be torn
| down as soon as the Chinese remove and
in their place a magnificent four-story
building will be erected, fronting on First
street. The structure will cost by rough
estimate. in the neighborhood OF $50, 900.
1t will be mainly an Office building with
| store rooms on the ground fuor.
| Especially notable are the improve
! , men1s projected for Adams street. The
greatest is that of a combined opera
| house and business block on the Good
rich corner of Adams and Center. Ten
| local capitalists are associated in the
movement and dirt is expected to fly ON
the foundation work before a month.
The building is to be of the finest finish,
| S0x70 in size, and three stories in height,
| and is to involve an expenditure, inclu-
sive of land valuation, of 500, 900, all
| home capital. The auditorium is to be
| one OF the fi"est in the west.
| Other buildings about to he erected
are: three-s story block by Perkins &c
| Bajiore, Judge II. G. Giring and e. S.
| Wahelin will each erect two-story blocks !;
M. W. Kales will raise the National bank
| block to three stories; the Goodrich and
| and the site to be psed occupied by one
| of the finest blocks IN the southwest;

| msntal frontage.

! disclose the fact that lie was connected
with agencies in Los Angeles, San Der
nardino, Redlands and various ether
California cities, and all are engaged in
the same disreputable business as was
| hs in Phoenix. The scoundrel has been
engaged in this kind of work for years,
and the letters In the officers hands
will set quite few of Arizona $
leading men residing beyond the confines
of Phoenix q thinking hard and fast.
