jewelry company is building an artistic
residence of II rooms and two flats
of and 10 rooms for himself. The

block between Kearny and Mont tgomery
and Market to California street central
for business of all kinds. One prime
requisite of the realty business is that
the offices shall be situated where they
are easy Of access to businessmen Of
all sorts. Therefore by natural selection
and not by any preconcerted movement
the realty brokers are mainly concen
trated in one general neighborhood of
quite good size.
Their district is crossed north and
south and east and west by electric and
cable lines. which give ready connec-
'tion to all parts of the city, so that they
to do business with them and with all
those. whom they seek to interest in
promising investments.
They are close to the banks and
close to both wholesale and retail es-
Establishments, where they can be read
lily found and reached in short time
by visitors to the city who arrive by
any of the means of ingress. They are
in touch with all that happens con-
corning the real progress of San Fran
cisco and a small army of notaries,
searchers of records. title insurance
companies and bankers visit them con-
tinually. 1t would be invidious to sin
gle out any brokerage house for spe
cial mention in this connection; but 1T
is fair to say that along with the
newer houses in the realty business,
there are half score whose names
and regulations have been synonymous
with sagacity and square dealing for
more than generation.
BROKERS ARE ORGANIZED
Close association and proximity Of
brokerage houses has made it feasi-
BILE to establish and maintain an asso-
~. ,se,
real estate board. which includes a
very large proportion of all the realty
brokers in San Francisco and also
large number of leading owners of
realty, who have organized to protect
the, interests of realty and who did
splendid work recently in connection
with the representation before the
state board of equalizers concerning
the assessment of San Francisco prop
erty.
Those who are not in frequent touch
with San Franciscos real estate brok-
ers do not comprehend the wide scope
and variety of the problems with which
they have TO deal This city is the COM
mercial center of a great state which,
except in certain localities. is still
sparsely populated. Even near San
Francisco there are great bodies of
land which the running of electric and
sites and town lots, with the effect of
largely augmenting their values 1t
has been the business of certain brok-
erage houses to cut UP large tracts and
to make them attractive suburbs of San
Francisco. This sort of work has not
been confined entirely to the outside
town, but has also resulted in the
adornment and decided Improvement of
tracts in the city limits.
HAVE MANY PROBLEMS
Since 1908 the local problems have
been vastly interesting and complex.
1t fell to the lot of the brokers, so far
as it was possible, to attend to the
placing of a great population in new
quarters on terms fair to the landlords
and to the tenants. To them came q
novel experience of the creation and
final disimantling of Van Ness avenue
and crossing streets as a business CEN
ter. To their lot also came the advising
of land owners concerning the classes

been big strike In the Eclipse mine
ana what was about given up as a
worthless property may soon be worth
a million. They have tried to sup
press the news os the strike until they
can buy in as much stock as they can.
They are paying so cents a share for
all they can get. You can see from
these clippings that the news got
into couple of western papers in the
neighborhood of the mine, but these
papers do not circulate where any of
the eastern stockholders would see
them"
Il don't see how it interests me that

lease. They waited in little reception
room while guard brought out sui
len-looking individual whose face
seemed to wear a perpetual scowl.
You can go to the devil" was the
cheerful reply to Danny's proposition
to purchase the miners stock. Il
told you yesterday that you'd have to
pay $4,000, and I'll rot here before
I'll take a cent less"
You must like it here, and l guess
it suits you at that" was Dannys re-
ply. But my friend here is willing
to buy, so I've fixed your fine and now
you can come back to town with u.s."
Ten beautifully engraved and sealed
stock certificates that were a work of
the printers and engravers' combined
art once more changed hands that day
when Rowley Simpson had counted
them over and paid into the hands of
Jack Cleland, alias Robert Downey,
bosom friend of Doc Floyd, sentenced
to the Bridewell through the pull of
Alderman Mehanty with the police de-
partment. 15 clean, new $1,000 bills.
Hurrying back to his office, Rowley
parted company with Danny Roberts,
telling him to come to him on the
morrow and receive his share of the
proceeds of the deal. Mr.. Simpson
then entered his place of business and
dictated short note to the Eclipse
Mining Company, asking them to re-
turn their check in payment for the
$4,000 shares of stock which he in.
closed. In brief space of time the
messenger returned with letter and
the package of stocks. Mr.. Rowley
Simpson read:

You see he got what he paid for. No

Still. l don't think I'd better 20

Danny.
Gilpin observer., 1909-03-18

I'm telling you because | happen to
know where there is $4,000 shares of
Eclipse stock in one block and Mehanty
is trying his hardest to locate the man
that's got 1t. The man that owns it
is the fellow who originally located
the claim. He's a drunken western
miner and sold out 10 Mehanty and
his friends for $1,000 cash end this
5O,OOO-share block of stock. He's been
on six months jag. spent all of his
ready money and doesn't think his
stock would bring ten-dollar note"
Hes where he can't get away from
us, but before tell you where that is,
you must agree to put up the money
to buy his stock and agree to give me
one-third of the profits
And what will the profits amount
to? What have we got to pay for the
stock?"
Well, I'm afraid he'll make us pay
pretty stiff price now. He's as stub
born as a mule and | foolishly went to
see him and asked him what he would
take to sell out. He was sharp enough
to scent that there might be some
thing doing and insisted on having
$4,000 for it. He even threatened to
break my head when | made him an
offer of $4,000"
IF you are sure OF being able to
land the stock for SIS 900 and turning
1t quick at so cents share. that would
be s25,OOO, and a profit of $4,000
wouldn't be a bad days work, eh?"
mused Simpson.
"Oh, can get 1t all right. You call
up the office of the Eclipse Company
and find out what they will give for
$4,000 shares. You can find out that
they are good for any offer they may
make II you will look in your com.
mercial agency reports for their
rating"
I'm do better than that" replied the
astute Mr.. Simpson. ''I'll get their
offer In writing" He then called his
office manager and directed him to
write a letter to the company asking
them for firm bid for $4,000 shares
of Eclipse Mining Company stock, the
offer to be good for "a hours.
In less than half an hour a messen.

produce the man with the stock.
Il can't bring him here, so you'll

And why cant you bring him

of Simpson.
because he's locked up in the
Bridewell. You see the last big drunk
he indulged in he threatened to shoot
up saloon and was fined 800 for
carrying a revolver. He'd had a quar-.
rel with Alderman Mehanty directly
after they made their trade because
Mehanty would not even lend him
money on his stock. You see the al.
derman thought 1t wasn't worth much
at that time. The man is In prison
