HIGH PRICES FOR LAND.

More Than $3.50 Per Square Foot Paid
for Lot in New York.
The most valuable plat of ground in
this country, at least, the one that has
commanded the highest price, is To-
Gated at the corner of Broad and Wall
streets, New York city, in the heart OF
the great financial district. Several
years ago, says the Washington Star
Mr.. Wilkes established record for
high-priced realty by paying $16S, 900
for sos square feet of ground on this
site, or $3S0.70 per square foot
The immensity Of this rate Of valua-
tion can best be appreciated by meas
uring off a square foot Of space and
then comparing its dimensions with
those Of $3.50 in money. Such CON-
parison will show that II Mr.. Wilkes
had paid for his property in one-dol-
lar bills he would have been able to
cover his entire lot with S2 layers OF
greenbacks, or he could have paved it
with four tiers of silver dollars placed
edge to edge as closely as they would
lie. Doubtless If the worthy Dutch
burghers Of New Amsterdam could
return to earth they would be as
founded to learn the value of the land
on which they pastured their cows 200
years ago.
Though no other piece of ground
has commanded an equal price per
foot, there are several other plats in
New York city which are quite equal
to the Wilkes property in value. For
example, considerably larger lot on
the northwest corner of Nassau and
Pine streets, one block above the
Wilkes property, was sold last year
for $3.50 per square foot, and the op-
posite corner Of the same streets, in
cluding 6043 feet, was bought by the
Hanover National bank for 81, $50, 600.
The lot on the corner of Broadway
and Maiden lane, and the site of the
Commercial Gable company's build
ing in Broad street, are also properties
that could be covered fifty deep with
dollar bills out Of their purchase price.
Probably the largest amount ever
paid for the site OF single building
was that given by the Broadway Realty
company for the lot on which the
Bowling Green building has been
erected. This sky-scraper, which is
the largest in the city, extends from
Broadway through to Greenwich street,
and covers 80, 152 feet of ground, for
which 80, 900, 900 was paid. This is
$102. 30 per foot, and though the price
per foot is less than has been paid for
several other plats, the total represents
an enormous sum to pay merely for
the ground on which to erect one
building. One peculiar effect in real
estate values that has followed the
sky-scraper era is the extraordinary
price which has been put upon sites
that are suitable for very high build.
ings. Spots with open surroundings,
on which other lofty structures are
not likely to be built, are, Of course,
the most desirable for this purpose.
and such places are few in the city Of
New York. The result is that many
buildings which are already very prof
liable are being torn down to make
room for the erection of sky-scrapers.

Child Saved by a Bear.

Residents Of Apalachin, N. Y, had
o bad scare recently, when the four.
year.old child Of Henry Rathburn
started out alone to look for trailing
arbutus. It was half an hour before
she was missed, and then all trace Of
the little one was lost. Her distracted
father and his neighbors joined in the
search.
While passing through ravine they
were startled to see an uncouth object
shambling toward them some distance
up the road, carrying bundle in its
mouth. Closer inspection proved
to the terrified searchers that the OBJ.
ject was bear and the bundle child.
It Is many years since a bear was seen
in this section, but the men, though
unarmed, prepared to give battle, one
of their number going back for help.
But the bear trotted toward them as
though totally unconcerned, and when
few yards away carefully laid down
the child it was carrying by its dress.
When the men approached and took
up the little one the bear did not show
Aght, and closer Investigation proved
he had ring in his nose. Later il
was found the bear belonged to an
Italian who was camping in a nearby
barn, making tour Of the country.
He had purchased the animal when
o cub and reared him in q New York
tenement, where he was allowed to
play with the children, and it was
there he had learned the trick Of car
rying the little ones.-New York
