ASTONISHING LAND VALUES
United States and Canada Rich IN
Examples Of Rapid Rise
in Prices.

To those who are sEeptical Of tbs
wisdom Of Investing money in teal es.
tate there are numerous Instances OF
cities whore eFsIy inch Of land is OF
great value which have been built upon
sites formerly sold for little or even
given away. The United States and
Canada are rich in such examples.
Canada especially has been the scene
OF great bargains IN land. During the
first years Of its history James /. made
a free gift Of the whole Of Canada, to-
/ ge'her with Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia, to the famous Lord Stirling.
Some 200 years LATER a member Of the
suite OF the governor Of the colony
was granted 10000 acres Of land by
william ". Later this was increased
by the addition Of 100000 acres. Sixty
years later a Canadian land company
was given 1000. 900 acres, 1000. 900 be
ing paid for at the rate of 60 cents an
acre, and the rest a free gift. As late
AS 1880 the Canadian government ac.
tuaiIy made the Scotch-Canadian COM
pany "A present Of y, 500, 600 in cash, as
a bonus, with a free grant of %, 600, 900
acres. AS there we're many conditions
as to the development OF the territory
in the terms of tie grant, the bargain
was not 90 one-sidcd as it at first ap-
pears.
Everyone knows that the whole Of
Manhattan island was sold by the In
dams for S24 Yet a plot Of ground
which was once q farm, and was grant
ed and sim belongs to Trinity church,
yields a yearly income of $40, 600. 600.
Pennsylvania, the second most popu-
Ious state in America, containing
scores Of prosperous cities, has an
of about 5000 square miles. This
tract Of land was given oyer to Will
liam Pinn in settlement of a compare
lively tritling debt which Charles II.
owed to Penn's father. and which he
found himself diainclincd or unable to
pay in cash.
The same "improvidcnt king was the
one who rented 100000 square miles
Of the land about Hudson Bay for a
yearly rental Of two beavers and two
elk per annnm. This has proved to be
one Of the best sUecuIatiOns in land on
record, Some 2ae years after the deal
the company of owners sold the major
part Of this vast territory to the Cana
dian Federation ter 1850, 900, and in
the meantime it had been bringing in
average income of 100000 a year.
Not more than 270 years ago the
present site of Liverpool was sold for
5 $50 by a small London syndicate,
who had bought It from Charles / for
less.
The site of Johannesburg and most
Of its gold mines, which are said to
over $1,000, O00, 600 worth Of
he precious metal, were sold less than
20 years ago to an Englishman named
for the sum of 81 500. In spite Of
.t5 ~cheapness it was a bad bargain for
aim, for because Of his activity in the
irst Bocr a his property was confs~
'ateu and he was driven to England in
I ]pcnniIess state.
