AUCTION SALE IF LOTS
 IN CAPITOL ADDITION PART OF IT WILL BE UNDER THE
 ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Acre Lots Among the Pines of Pres colt Will Also be Sold For
 Summer Homes.

A unique auction sale of the lots re- gently purchased in the West Capitol | addition by Spencer and Loch will oc- cur next Tuesday. The feature of the sale is that it will be the first time that | an auction of lots has been held at night. The sale will be conducted by the Arizona Auction and Development company with B. w. Getsinger as auc- tioneer
 The West Capitol addition will look like New Orleans during the mardi gras. The whole place will be strung with electric lights and several vari- cities of cold drinks will be passed among the crowd. The sale will begin in the afternoon, two hours of it be- ing in day light and three hours at night At four o'clock Getsinger will begin to auction off the lots. At six all business will be given up for the time while a free supper will be served. Then from seven to ten o'clock the sale will continue under the electric lights.
 The Arizona Auction company is not going into this real estate business in half hearted way. Prizes of five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces will be given away, and in addition a num- Der of Panama hats and patent leather shoes. If these articles of wearing apparel do not happen to fit the lucky men who get them they can be ex- changed at the store from which they are purchased
 Something like 125 lots of the West Capitol addition were purchased by Spencer Loch but only 50 of them will be put on sale at the auction. The lots have been cleaned up and city water introduced to the tract The plat is near the Capitol car line and is a de- sirable residential section of the city. Loch is now building a home for him self on the tract
 B. w. Getsinger's methods of dis posing of real estate are extremely novel and original. His previous sales have been successful The most orig inal of all his plans was announced yesterday.
 There are a great many people in Phoenix and the rest of the valley who would like a summer home in Prescott among the pines. To accommodate them and furnish them with an acre lot on which to erect a cottage at the remarkably low price of s25 is Get singers latest idea. He left last night for Prescott to complete arrangements for the sale of 400 acre tract belong ing to Eugene Newman.
 As these lots could not be sold at the price named unless every one of them is disposed of the purchaser will not know just where his lot is situ- ated till the final appOrtionment is made. There are three houses now in the tract one of which is worth s700 These houses will go at the same price as the lots-in short, when the final allotment is made there will be three purchasers who will get houses with their acre lots for s25.
 The entire tract is to be sold to Salt River valley people so that little set tlement from this valley will be located there. The tract is now covered with pines and is about a mile and a half from Prescott The Prescott car line is to be extended to the tract and ev- cry acre lot will have water from a spring situated in the center of the tract.
 Getsinger will return from Prescott Tuesday and the sale will take place in Phoenix within thirty days.
