arrived in Salt Lake City Tuesday and
says that hundreds of prospectors have
entered the district since the strike.
Mr. Bcngtzen arrived here several DAYS

once. while Mr.. Donovan will probably
remain in the city eight or ten days
They say that their party was about
the FIRST TO prospect in the district and
as they have located q group of thir
teen claims, they are naturally enthu-
siastic over the outlook. The samples
which they brought with them, and
which are now on exhibition in tho
local offices of the Salt Lake route, are
of gray copper and silver, and carry
high values. They were found within
a few feet of tho surface.
The Eagle mining district is in the
Snake range, about ninety miles north

Salt Lake Security and Trust
Company Says 1t Will Cost
$3.50, 900.
AGNES d. IRELAND
PROPERTY is PURCHASED
Immense Concrete Structure at
the Corner of Brigham
and A Streets.

What appears to be one OF the most
important realty deals closed in this
city in recent weeks was consummated
Tuesday, when the Salt Lake Security
and Trust company purchased the
Agnes D. D. Ireland property at the
northwest corner Of Brigham and a
streets. The dimensions Of the prop
erty are ll51axl65 feet, and the consid-
Grafton was $21 900,
Soon after the sale was announced
it was ascertaiped that the purchasers
are planning to erect a $780, 600 apart
ment house on the site. AS the lot is
on declivity overlooking Brigham
street it is proposed to excavate until
the site is on level with the side
walk. The structure is to be eight
stories in height and, as it is to oc-
cupy the entire lot, its dimensions, Ut
is said, will surpass those of the Brans-
ford apartments. Reinforced concrete
is to be used in its construction wher-
ever practicable, and as the building
is to be strictly hrcproof its interior
Will be constructed entirely Of metal.
Work on the plans will begin imme-
diately and the structure will be rushed
to completion as fast as is expcdlent.
Recent experience with the apart
enced the company in its determination
to enter on this new venture. Only
few weeks ago the firm announced its
intention to build an apartment house
on Second East. between Second South
and Third South streets. The build
ing will contain sixty-four apartments
and most of these have already been
eneag ged, Notwithstanding the Sact that
the workmen have Just finished the
foundation. Would-be tenants gain
their information as to the accommo,
dations zN>ch the structure will AFFORD
from the plans at the architects office,
This is only one of the many instances
which show that apartments are at o
premium in Salt Lake City. The real
estate transaction mentioned above was
consummated through the firm of Kel-
sew & Gillespie.
