SALE OF PLUMBER
LOTS Is CONTINUED
Record Opening Sale of Two Hundred
Lots at High Prices.

Record Opening Sale Of Two Hundred
Lots at High Prices.
Two hundred lots of the townsite
OF Plummer were sold yesterday at
auction by Judge James w. Witten.
All OF the business lots were sold and
a number OF residence lots were dis
posed of. The purchasers of the
business lots evidently expect a rosy
future for Plummer, at least the two
to four hundred dollars that were
paid for lots that had been apprais-
ed by the government for from $25
to SIS, would indicate their strong
faith in it's future. There is a lively
competition for all lots and the
large number that have already been
sold would so indicate. p. ]. Quill
len of this city purchased a lot
yesterday for $140 and ten minutes
after sold 1t for $3.50 and If such a
per cent of increase in value occurs
as rapidly in all or a part of the
other lots then Plummer as a metro
polltan city is assured in q very
short time.
The highest price paid for resi-
dent lots today was $3.50 and the
lowest was $50 and they sold at
many different prices between those
prices. Today 1876 were sold and
1879 were sold yesterday. A larger
number could be sold but when
about that number is disposed OF
the sale is discontinued for the day
because OF the fact that the land
office is unable to handle a larger
number of sales, The appraised val
ne of the $3.50 sale was $50 and out
side of a few lots that were sold
for considerably more than their
appraised value, the selling prices OF
the lots today are very close to the
appraised value
