AREA INCREASING.
Two New Additions Added to the Terri
tory of the City of Ely.

In another column will be found the
ad of Semer's and Wallis addition to
Ely, which it will be well for all those
who know a good thing when they
see it to carefully look into. The
plats of the two additions have ar
rived and the lots are now for sale.
Unlike the additions usually put on
the market, miles from the town,
these are comparatively in the heart
of the city. The owners of the prop
erty have put the prices on lots SO
low that it offers the speculator some
of the very best chances for specula-
ton and the labOrer the choicest
properly for home at prices and
terms to suit. G.. j. Semer has been
made local agent and is ever ready to
give information to those wishing it.
