month ago no one would have pre-
dicted the great building, railroad and
mining boom that is now going on and
increasing in size and volume as the
days and nights go by, for work does
not stop entirely as the sun leaves its
rays in the Colorado river and hides
its brightness behind the great noun
tain ranges of Utah and Nevada. The
improvements are miraculous and
spring up as if by magic in one night
or one day from among the sage brush
and mesquite bushes, and people move
III and begin to occupy their new habi-
tations and homes. Strangers keep
arriving from every source of popula-
tion, and Utah, Nevada, Oklahoma and
Texas have fine representations here
and others to follow. Lot jumping
was In evidence several nights this
week, and when Faust, the Kingman
tailor, returns from Los Angeles he
can lind his tent that he left on his
lot on middle Tennessee avenue setting
over against the side of the next fence
and strange tent on his ground.
Another large tent on wagon set it.

up Tennessee avenue Monday night,
and Is there yet, the owner, presumably,

lot opposite the one taken from the
tailor on Tennessee avenue. The YER

sheet thrown over pole, are visible
along both the main thoroughfares to
the mine, as well as good tents and
pretentious frame houses.
There has been several sales of real
estate this and last week, and also
some mining exchanges for town prop
erty. A. Salano, of the Tennessee
mine, has exchanged his new house on
Tennessee avenue, opposite the town
hall to w. n. Parker for the Monitor
mine, near the Merrimac, paying
good cash difference. Mr.. Parker al
ready has lumber on his new property
and will add large room to the one
bought with the lot and start con-
fectionery store and bakery.
Frank Maxon, the barber, has bar
gained his residence property on the
MOiiie Gibson street to an up-country
barber, and the sale is likely to be con-
summated, and Mr. Maxon will rebuild
on other property.
VIM. Nelson and family have arrived
from the Oro Plata mine and are tenn

pare new home.
1t was currently rumored on the !
street this week that Colonel Young
had bought the new house just finished |

A. Salano is having the finest and
most comfortable homes built and
made yet in evidence. He has ac-
quired the property by purchase for
merly belonging to a Mr.. Dewy on
Bullion street. There is about four
acres in the tract and it already has a
temporary bath house, but this will be
enlarged and supplied with modern
conveniences and public resort made
of it. The water supply in the new
well is ample for all purposes, and
new windmill and 1000 gallon tank is
now going up. The enclosure has been
nicely and substantially fenced in with
boards and barbed wire, the ground
cleared Of brush, plowed and portion
of it planted to fruit trees. The rest
of the ground has been planted with
vegetables, cared for by Chinese
gardener, and the place has thrifty
appearance.
Ferd. Nellis has bought a mining
claim of Judge Brakeman between
town and the Mollie Gibson, and has

almost completed. This is for both
