BOOM
At THE SOUTH
The New Town Of Manhattan En-
joying a Deal In Real Estate
Rarely EquaIed

The real estate boom frat is in prog
ress at Manhattan in the southern part
of the State is one of the most exciting
that ever occurred in the west. Lots are
selling there py the hundreds and prices
are doubling up almost within q day.
Several persons h ave returned to
Tonopah from Manhattan have reported
that L.. w. Haworth sold several blocks
in a few hours, and now it IS stated that
the whole addition recently pat IN the
market by the Dexter Mining
Company has been taken at high prices.
Hardly a lot has been sold without the
buyer being offered $50, $40 aud in some
cases much more, for the bargains.
The lots We're put on sale only a few
days ago, and were, goDbIed Up rapidly,
several properties having changed hands
more than once. The lots brought a
good price. 81 A4
A. L. Smith returned to TonoPah from
Manhattan Saturday night and states
that the city is enjoying a real estate
boom of no small proportions. and that
property is increasing in value rapidly.
IN conversation with a Tonopah Sun
representative Mr.. Smith said:
Manhattan, to my way of thinking,
mas as good, if not a better chance than
any new camp in the State to become a
large and thriving town in very short
order
II draw this conclusion from q variety
of indications When we opened the sale
of the ManhatLan-Dexter Mining Com
pany's addition we dId SO with a good
pig 'ad in the Sum-, merely announcing
the fact that the lots We're for sale at
our offices in Tonopah and Manhattan,
and from that time to the present there
has been no falling off in the demand
for Manhattan lots. This fact might, un-
der dieffrent circumstances, merely indi-
instance there is very little of the spirit
of speculation. Most of the people who
nave bought lots in the new addition
have done SO for the purpose Of build

are to be business buildings of one sort
or another, and when 4 left Manhattan
Saturday morning building and tent
pitching was going on all over town at
a rapid rate. That the men who bought
this property, SO soon after it was placed
on the market did so with a view to
going into business Is beyond question
and the additional fact that they are, In
the main,s seasoned business men who
have years of experience behind them,
and who thoroughly locke the ground
over before taking the course they did,
is discovery strong evidence of a COM
mon belief that Manhattan, as a district
whose productivehess is assured is a
~permanency. -
From a Standpoint Of real estate. In
vestment, L regard the chance there as
one Of the best ever offered the public.
| am not saying this through any hope
that saying SO will induce the purchase
of lots, as the time for that sort of a
boost is almost past. Nearly every lot
in the addition offered by us a week ago
has changed hands at least once n
many of them have had half a dozen
ownefs since we sold them. s q,
"The fact of the matter is that the
comparatively level ground lying In the
bottom of the any is very limited in
area, and it is safe to say that the town
will always be crowded. This being the
case. the point where business interests
are bound to congest. because of the law
of the lay of the ground. will of neces-
sity greatly increase In value as the
town grows. and those who nave bought
at the present prices are, / consider, very
