duller during the hot summer months it is gratifying to know that local realty men consider the amount of business building being transacted somewhat larger than it was last year at this time. No small number of people are buying lots and beginning the bnilding of houses and business blocks, and many more are procuring land preparatory to putting up build ings, for, whether the resident realizes it or not, the outside world is aware that Globe is the future metropolis of the great southwest and one with which the development of the richest ore deposits in Arizona will be closely bound up.
 It will be noticed by even the casnal observer of bmlding conditions in Globe that gradual change in ma terials for construction is coming about. While, for time, wood was most used locally in the construction of both houses and business buildings, concrete and brick are now more pop ular, not only because they give great CT solidity, but for the additional req son that they afford greater coolness, a factor that is not to be despised in Arizona, where the rays of the sun are very direct for a part of the year. ride through the East Globe residence section will show that concrete blocks especially are being much used in the building of houses. This material is being largely manufactured in this city by the Globe Cement & Construc- ton company. The concrete blocks are made with air chambers in them and are laid so that d liberal space is left between the inner and outer layers of blocks. In this way, the only obiec ton 10 concrete blocks, the internal sweating of the walls, is done away with, as the air space makes this inn possible. Local people, who have houses made of this material say that it af lords cooler house than does brick and tests of the material in other cities show that it is just as durable.
 N- tidlhs DitNiutil Ol lHt NlpNt Cement & Construction company, will build two structures of concrete blocks on the lot where his residence now is located, at the corner of High and Mes quite streets. Work on these two buildings will begin in about six weeks. Both of them will face on High street, where the longest frontage is. One will be a store house to be used in connection with Mir. Clark 's residence, and the other will be handsome and modern house with five rooms and bath.
 Copper Belt Realty
 A large deal now pending in local real estate circles may be taken as an index to the general feeling of secur- ity which investors have in placing their money in Globe buildings and lots. Arrangements are being made through the Copper Belt Realty company for lease of land having between 50 and 75 feet frontage on Broad street. The per son who is seeking the lease intends to erect handsome brick business building, three stories high, on the lots in question. The lower floors will be used for store purposes, and the upper floors will, probably, be rented for office use.

Nal Joy, one of the conductors on the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railroad. In the fall, MT. Malloy will build hand some eightroom house on this site
