IMPORTANT REAL
'Couzens g. Johnston Purchase the 40
Acres Belonging to W. B. HUI
gus, Lying South of Town.
STAT DEAL

A. R.. Couzens and Jack John
ston have purchased the 40 acre
tract belonging to w. B. Hugus,
which lies south of town and adj
Joining the property of J. f. Craw-
ford on the north. The land will
be plated and the lots put on the
market in the neal future.
This is an important deal and
means considerable activity in real
estate in that part of town, for
those men are not wont to let
prosperity hunt them up-they go
hunt it up.
1t is the intention of b-+l Nj.
Couzens and Mr.. Johnston to
build brick residences on this
property, on the first raise back
from the river, above the ditch
and there are others that are talk
ing of choosing residence property
there and putting up dwelling
houses. The site is certainly one
\ of the most attractive in the en-
tire town, and it will not be long
before that will be IL of the most
popular residence portions of Sar-
atoga.
Real estate deals are becoming
of almost daily occurrence now and
while there is no excitement or
"boom' in any of the word,
prices are tending steadily upward
Any one contemplating invest
ment in Saratoga real estate should
make their purchases now, or al
all early date, for the probabilities
are very great that prices will
double with every year from this
time on.

A FINE HOTEL.
The Hotel Wolf Respondent With
Paint, Oil, and Handsome
Paner.

Fred NJ. Wolf who has had
charge of the Hotel Wolf during
his fathers absence on a visit
south in search Of health, has
proved himself to be the son of
his father, so far as the hotel bust
ness is concerned.
Before his father left, Fred
heard him say he intended to do
some papering when he returned.
So Fred, Junior, concluded he
would try his hand at that bust
ness without letting his father
know anything about it. He en-
gagged paper hangers and painters
and for a month the whole lower
story of the hotel looked like
housekeeping When the work
men went away and the house was
put to rights, the scene was one to
gladden. the heart of an artist.
The woodwork was handsomely
finished in hard oil while. the of
flee and bar-room were covered
with ingrained paper of a dull
red, bordered with a beautiful
half-toned green, very restful to
the eye and pleasant to every
sense. The dining room is a poem
in green and brown, and is the
most attractive spot to be imagined.
The whole lower story is certain
ly the most handsome and artistic
we have aver see and speaks vol
umes for the taste and skill which
planned and executed this very
pleasant surprise for a father.
The Hotel Wolf IA now safely be
said to be the finest in the state.

The spring has been an unus-
ually dry and warm one, SO much
so that stockmen began to feel
afraid we should not have the re-
quired amount of moisture. Oc-
cassional light SHOWS and rains
had gotten the grass nicely start
ed but it needed a good soaking to
make the range of any value.
This WAS met by the snow storm
which began Sunday, extending
over well into Monday, giving us
a foot and a half of very wet heavy
snow, which was of untold value
TO the entire valley. the result for
the stock and agricultural inter
ests will be very fine, but the
storm has delayed the mining in
dustry somewhat by making noun.
tains roads almost impossible, and
seriously disturbing the condition
of the roads in the valley. All in all
it was n very valuable and timely
storm and was general throughout
the valley.

SAM GREEN A HORSE THIEF.
Stealing Horses From the Range and
Shipping Them to Eastern Mar
kets-Jumps His Bail.

Sam. Green, an old time freight
er and resident of Rawlins, and
well known here, was arrested last
Wednesday, in Rawlins, together
with one Guy Scott, an eastern
man and placed under $500 bonds.
Green jumped his bond and left
the town about l o'clock Friday.
He was to have had a preliminary
hearing that afternoon at 2 o'clock.
AS he went southwest the sup
position is that h was making for
the Colorado line.
Green has been shipping horses
for several years and has borne a
reputation for crooked dealing in
that line for some time. He
would bring in a bunch of horses
from the range, timing his arrival
in Rawlins so as to get there after
dark, always loading and shipping
after dark. In the car of horses
which he was shipping, and for
which he was arrested, there were
80 head, 6 only of which belonged
ed to him.
Green has not been apprehended
at last accounts, though officers
were after him.

SARATOGA STATE
BANK BUILDING.
To be Completed Soon-A Very Pros
porous Institutional Large In
cres Sc in Business.

The work on the Saratoga State
Bank building is moving very
slowly at this time, supplies being
hard to get up from the railroad
on account of the rush of freight
into this country.
The large iron door which will
be placed in the bank vault, weigh
ing something near 1000 pounds,
is now here. The construction of
the vault will be begun as soon as
cement can be brought up from
Fort Steele. The bank fur
niture is now being made in Den
yer and will be of very handsome
design and finish and will cost
very nearly $1,000.
We learn from Cashier Kruger
that the bank is in a very flourish
ingcondition considering the short
time it has been doing business,
having very close to $4,000 in
the shape of loans throughout
the valley, and a large amount of
money on deposit.

THE MOHAWK
SOLD FOR $4,000.
Property in Gold Hill-Deal
Made by J. B. Hassett.

THE Sun has frequently men,
toned the very promising gold
property in Gold Hill, known as
the Mohawk" owned by Jeweler
G. w. Scott and D.. T. Keech.
The property has been sold to Mr..
Brown, of the Brown Palace hotel
of Denver, the sale having been
consumated by j. B. Hassett, and
the price to he paid is $4,000.
The money is to be turned over
the 18th of this month.
Recently a new shaft 7x9 and
10 feet deep, was sunk on this
property showing a vein A feet
wide, 7 or s inches of which-the
pay streak-will assay from 800
to $500 in gold. Two feet of the
vein will run from 800 to 500 in
gold. Three sacks of so pounds
each of ore taken from the mine
will be down in a few days. These
sacks of ore will each yield about
$500.
Four samples from this claim
assayed as follows: Sample of
porphyry, $1,000; sample of ore,
SI05.42; sample of ore, $192.S0;
sample of ore, $500. The sale
will certainly be consumated if
the Denver parties come to time.
In case they should not the mine
cannot be bought for probably less
than $4,000, as it is known to be
one of the very richest gold prop
critics in Gold Hill.

The opening up of this property
in connection with the bath house

years. 1t was rescued from desuet-

Rush to the Mines.

The Cheyenne Sun-Leader of
Wednesday contained the follow
ing:
Secretary of State Chatterton
is home from a western trip AMI
speaks In glowing terms of the &C
tivity of Platte valley. The stage
coach companies are very much
rushed and can hardly accommo-
date the visitors. The road from
Fort Steele to Saratoga is alive
with stages, wagons, and buggies,
and the indications are that be-
tween 10000 and 5000 people will
come into the country this sum-
mer. This prediction is verified
by Agent Lomax, who is still
more sanguine and estimates from
inquiries that he has received that
10000 people will flock into the
Platte valley the coming summer.
MI. Lomax made this statement to
some Rawlins gentlemen, who re-
Gently visited Omaha on some land
business. On Monday it took
three stages to accommodate the
people travelling from Fort Steele

done in the state, and the business will be more popular than ever before. The building and loan business in Alabama has passed the experimental stage, and is now better understood than ever before. Let us here call your attention to tn success that has attended those companies con- ducted on the Home" plan. A notable case in point is the Dayton Mutual Home Building and Loan Association of Dayton O., a city little, if any, larger than Bir- mingham.
 All of it's business is within the state of Ohio, and the position of this company is unassailable; it enjoys the confidence of the people; its loans give satisfaction to those borrowing from it. and it's stock is universally regarded as a high class of in- Vestment. It has over 5000 members, and cash receipts of over $100,000 per month and its career of twenty-seven years is regard ed as having been an important factor in making Dayton a city of home owners.
 The usefulness of a well-managed com pany can cause 1t to attain a magnitude not dreamed of by one unfamiliar with the history of such institutions. The Birbeck Society of London, which Is conducted on the building and loan association plan, is one of the leading institutions of England the center of the worlds wealth, the home or financial conservatism. For sixty years It has been the custodian of savings which reach an almost incredible sum; some idea of their extent can be formed when it is known that its present cash receipts are G5OOO,OOO five million dollars per month
 It Is such examples as these which con- vince the management of the Alabama Home Building and Loan Association that these institutions can be conducted in a way to merit the esteem of the community in which they are located And it is the purpose of this company so to conduct it's business to deal both with borrowers from 1t and investors in it with such fairness that it will occupy in Birmingham and the surrounding towns a position as enviable as that of the Dayton Mutual or the Bir- beck Society. Any of you who read these lines should visit the office of the Alabama Home Building and Loan Association or send and get its literature, and you will be pleased to know that you have in Ala bama company which has approached in an humble way to the wonderful success of the Home" companies we have been writing about Every day there comes to the office of this company many applica- tions for loans to build homes. We have enabled hundreds of people to pay for their homes and we have returned to mem- ~bers hundreds of thousand of dollars which represents increased success and comfort to thousands of people living in the cities of Alabama. Faithfully yours,

BUILDING AND LOAN
 ASSOCIATIONS
Home Companies and National
 COntraSted
BY w. V. M. ROBERTSON
Who Clearly Points Out the Great Su- perlority of the Home" Com panies-The Alabama
 Home" Model

No business can be made a success ex- cept by following we'll known business principles that are accepted by all leading business men.
 The recent disasters which have over taken several National building and loan associations call attention to the inherent weakness of this class" of institu- tionss- as compared with Home" com panies.
 To make loans of money on real estate safe, two things are essential: Q) That the property offered as security-its location, the condition of its Improvements and above all its marketability-should be known personally to the lender @ Loans should be confined to one state, to the laws of which the lender should adapt his busi- ness.
 All of the great inventions of the age were for years laughed at by the skep- tical, and many of the greatest inventors of the world have died in the poor house. Those who have made a success are the men who had an idea and who believed in ii, knowing what it could lead to when its full usefulness was developed. Ten years ago, before organizing The Alabama Home Building and Loan Association, we travelled over many portions of America and personally investigated the system.
 We found that no important city in the union existed but what had felt the bene- ficent effects of good Home Building and Loan Associations. We must believe that the average people of America have good reasonable, practical, common sense. Whens the United States government report shows us that there is over six hundred million dollars invested in America in these asso- citations, it must follow that much good and usefulness is in the system. Let us ad- init just here that there is considerable prejudice against the business in the south.
 And why is it? It has all been brought about by the unfortunate experiment of companies being organized on the plan of trying to lend money in many states, which is simply an impossible way of doing business. We believe that every associa- ton of every kind doing business in Ala bama have now withdrawn their business from other states, and are making their loans exclusively in the cities of Alabama. We think it Is only question of a little time when there will be more business

 and light romantic music, ballet music and artistic waltzes, such as one finds on pro- grammes of symphony orchestras and May festivals, are styled popular They belong to one class. Belonging to another class are the Sousa marches, good topical songs and patriotic tunes like Dixie" But while the Sousa two steps" are excellent In their class they have no place on @ fes- tival programme. They should be played only on the streets or at mass-meetings The same is true of Dixie" Sousa's s music comes under the head of art, to be sure, but when marches are considered and compared the popular bandmaster- sometimes called the March King'-has yet to write one that will sound so well as any of the eighty odd that Schubert left us. The Schubert marches, although classic, are just as popular for street pa rades as for symphony concerts. These are the marches that have been used as models alike by the recent classic com posers and by composers of the Sousa or der. They have never been improved upon.
 The financial success of the festival in May will encourage MT. Guckenberger and all the members of the Festival as socfation board to go forward and plan festival of four performances for 1901. We had three concerts last year and we are to have three this year. With a small increase in the guarantee fund a fourth could be added next year. It is understood that MT. Guckenberger is eager to pre- sent grand opera perfectly mounted for the closing bill next season. Grand opera under ordinary circumstances, that Is to say, a travelling troupe of seventy-fve or eighty, is always welcomed with de- light. But if MT. Guckenberger would get up an opera in connection with the May festival it would be a notable event, in- deed. Gounods Faust" or Wagner S Flying Dutchman," with distinguished principals, chorus of one hundred and fifty and an orchestra of forty or fifty would be an enterprise we'll worth striving for No opera, believe, would give great CT pleasure to the majority of music lovers of this city than Faust" In beautiful melodies few works equal it. Gounod was an anti-Wagnerite and when he composed Faust" he was on his met tie. He wished to prove to the world that ne could write an opera of the older school which would surpass anything that Wagner could do. Gounod never accom- plished anything equal to Wagners music dramas but his Faust is, nevertheless. a master effort and will live as long as love for pure melody lasts.
