delayed from the factory and the shaft
will be sung TO the 500 foot level with
out delay.

ord FOR the local real estate marked
during the past week Nor does this
number by any means Include the lots
sold by outside agents. Investors are
not slow to sec that scarchlight real
estate a. well as mining stocks offer
an excellent investment. II Is slgnlf-
cant that many local residents and
business men are investing heavily In

nearly one-half Of these purchasers
could have bought the same properties
for one-quarter what they are paying
now had they purchased them year
ago
