$870 SQUARE FOOT
GOTHAM LOT BRINGS
High Record Set for Real
Estate When Half a Lot
Sells for Million.
DK. B. c. HYUA
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Dec. ia new rec
ord has just been established for New
York city real estate in the sale for
ST. 200, 900 of the small corner plot at
Broadway and Thirty fourth street, ad-
joining Macy's department store. 1t
contains less than 1,20o square feet
not quite half Of a full-sized city lot,
and brought nearly $3.50 square foot.
This exceeds the former record of
about $500 paid two years ago for the
old Gillender building plot on the
northwest corner of Nassau and Wall
streets, on which included some ad-
joining property, the forty one story
Bankers Trust building is nearing
completion.
Previously to this the sale of the
famous parcel at Wall street, 'front.'
ing on Broadway, was sold for about
100000. In area this contains about
200 square fee-, making a trifle less
than $500 a square foot. Not far be-
low the plot just sold is the property
formerly occupied by the Union Dime
Savings Bank. The bank sold it in
1906 for about $l,O00,000, at the rate
of $3.50 square foot, and when it
changed hands about three years later
the price was then given as nearly
$1,500,o 600, bringing the square foot
average to about 1915. 1t occupies the
entire front on he south side of Thir-
ty-second street, with frontage on both
Broadway and Sixth avenue.
The tiny corner is in the center Of
one of the businest localities of the
city The high price paid for it has I'M
doubtedly been influenced by the fact
that the Pennsylvania station is only
"a block to the west On the opposite
side Of Broadway, between Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth streets. the
twenty6ve-story McAlpin hotel is be-
ing constructed. and other important
hotel and business developments near
by, including the Gimbel store one
block below. have made Broadway
and Thirty-fourth street one of the
noteworthy centers in traffic and bust
ness.

HERB FARMERS GET
HANDSOME RETURNS
Minnesota College Reports
on Tests-$4,6 GOO an Acre
for Digitalis.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. PA crop
yielding 1866 to the acre is a posi-
bilty of the Minnesota farmer in two
or three years, according to DR.. Ed
win l.. Newcomb, of the pharmacy col
lege of the university. The results
obtained by DR.. Newcomb during the
past summer on small plot of ground
on the campus are cited to bear out
the assertion.
The garden, containing approximate
ly forty thousand square feet, was di-
vided into plots averaging 1Ox16 feet.
Seven of these plots, or 1920 square
feet, We're sown to different varieties
of the digitains plant commonly known
as foxglove. The crop of these sew
en- plots when dried amounted to
one hundred pounds. Dried digitails
is quoted at $1.20 a pound, making
the yield fro mthat small amount of
ground worth $120. At the same rate
of yield to an acre the return would
amount to $4,666.SO.
The profitable nature of the crop
has been discovered by some people
land are being devoted to the raising
of this plant for the drug market. And
there is no reason, he says, why peo-
pie in Minnesota should not make
large profits in few years, although
they could not be secured at once, as
different soils cause greater or less
toxic strength in the drug. The drug
n tho yo1a ont
as digitoxin, would be stronger in
some cases than in others, and an
ordinary dose of the drug prom plant
of unusual strength might prove fatal.
After becoming acquainted with the
manner of growing the plant, DR.. New
comb suggests as a means of es-
Gaping this difficulty that retail phar-
wise the growing and make assays Of
the cured product to determine the
strength OF the particular crop.
The plant is handled much like the
tomato plant at first. 1t must be
started early in the spring in cold
frames and transplanted later in the
spring. After it is started it is hardy

moving where large quantities are

FRISCO GOING AHEAD.
Business Men Take Ii as Settled
as Regards Exposition.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. with
the vote of the senate committee
insuring the exposition of 1915 to
San Francisco every official of the
exposition company is afire with a
desire to begin the actual work of
building and planning, and the word
is: Goats off and show the world
what we can do" First of all the
site must be decided upon. Then
must come the task of securing ap-
preparations from foreign countries
and the various states for notable
exhibits. Meanwhile the buildings
themselves will be on the way, the
ground being prepared for water
courses, wales and hills, and all the
tremendous labor of creating a
$50, 100000 fair on the way
To the citizens of San Francisco
the most important question in con-
nection with the exposition at this
time relates to the location of the
fair BY clause in the state con-
Stitutional amendment passed to aid

the fair Golden Gate Park west of
Twentieth avenue may be used as
a site if the fair directors vote to
have the exposition there, and the
right of eminent domain is given
the right to condemn and buy all
lands adjacent which may be deem
ed necessary for exposition purposes.
But while this site can be used,
several other sites have been under
consideration One is the gently
sloping area near Tanforan and
the aviation field. Another is the
bay shore near Harbor view. A
third is the land around Lake Mer-
ced, and a fourth is Yerba Buena
Island. Other sites, in the Potrero,
near Visitacion valley, and at vari-
Gus places, have been proposed, and
are being considered.
The way the western states have
begun to vote appropriations, and
the usual and encouraging size of
the sums voted, including $250,000
from Colorado, 100000 from Ore
gon and Washington, 100000 from
Wyoming, and like huge sums, it
is assured that the work of securing
splendid state exhibits will not be
difficult. However much or little
interest the eastern and middle west
ern states take financially in the ex-
position, the Rocky mountain and
western states will themselves make
the exposition a marvellous one.
Then the counties of California
will make separate exhibits of great
cost and much beauty, and the state
will vote a handsome exhibit that
will far exceed the remarkable ones
made by Oregon and by Washington
at the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland, or the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition at Seattle.

ROOSEVELT TO
SPEAK IN RENO
FORMER PRESIDENT FINALLY
DECIDES TO UTTER A FEW
WORDS IN RENO.

RENO, New, Dec. Theodore
Roosevelt, writing to Senator Dix
w. Smith, fellow member in the
New York assembly and an ac-
quaintance since 1888, accepted a
date to speak in Reno on April
8, and in characteristic letter, de-
clared himself interested in pro-
gressive politics and even more so
in progressive Christianity.
1--WE must not let the bigots on
either side bring any trouble to us
in America" he concludes.
The letter came in response to
Mr.. Smiths urgent request that Col.
Roosevelt speak in Reno on "Civic
Righteousness. Mr.. Smith told
how the people of Reno had sub
scribed $4,000 for a Y. M. G. A.
building in ten days and the most
active worker was P. L. Flanagan, a
Catholic and a member of the ma
tional Republican committee.

Mine OFFICIALS
PAY A VISIT
TO TONOPAH
HEADS OF TONOPAH MINING
COMPANY INSPECTING THE
BIG PROPERTY.

c. A. Highbee, secretary-treasure
and j. H. Whiteman, vice presi-
dent and general counsel of the Ton
opah Mining company, arrived on
the morning train from Philadel-
phia via the Southern route.
Mr.. Higbee was seen by the
Bonanza man, and asked as to the
special purpose of this visit, re-
piled it was one of their usual in
spetcion trips of the companY's
properties. When we leave here
in a couple of days, he said,
they would proceed to Wonder,
New, where a large mill for han
ding Nevada Wonder ore is being
erected. Power has been provided
by the extension of the power COM
pany's lines from the Mono lake

Charley Higbee-for that is the
way he is usually addressed here
in Tonopah-was one of the early
day residents of the camp. He
was known by every one in the
camp then, and every man he
knew was his friend. He is the
same hail-fellow-w well-met he was
then.

OLD HALIFAX
To BE OPENED
UP SHORTLY
ONE OF THE BIG OWNERS AR
RIVES HERE YESTERDAY
VISITS THE MINE.

AS corroborative of the story
recently published in the Bonanza
anent the opening of the old Hall
fax mine, David Keith of Salt Lake,
who, with Senator Kerns of that
city, chiefly owns the property, ar
rived in Tonopah on the noon train
yesterday.
Those on the inside in mining
matters have for some weeks ex-
pressed confidence that work on this
property would be resumed during
the sp,lng. Keith and Kern3 are
h"avIly interested in the property,
aud with developments in the Bel
mout the past six months, the Cpin-
ion is expressed that this is a good
time to begin getting their money
out of the property-by developing
it.
Mr.. Keith was seen by the Bon-
ANA man today, and confirmed cur
rent rumors regarding the resump-
tion of active work on the property.
The object of my trip" said
Mr.. Keith, is to confer with the
officials of the Light & Power COM
pany with regard to contracting for
power required in our operations.
We propose to continue sinking the
present shaft on the property, and
will install new hoist, pumps.
etc. When we get deep enough
we will drift and crosscut for the
big Belmont ledge, which we be-
lieve will be reached at depth"
This definite announcement from
one OF the heavy owners of the
property will be hailed with salts
faction by every citizen of Tonopah.
Bespeaking, as it does, the con-
tinued confidence in the camp of
the men who have already invested
many thousands here, it also inn
plies a considerable addition to the
payroll of the camp and the de-
velopment of another great mine
1t is the understanding that ac-
tive work will be begun at an early
date

new COUNTY
Of MINERAL
IS CREATED
HEFFERNAN is ONLY MAN WHO
REGISTERS A VOTE in THE
NEGATIVE.

CARSON CITY, Feb. 9.-Follow-
ing the action of the assembly, the
senate yesterday afternoon passed
the bill creating the new county
of Mineral, by subdividing Esmer-
aida county.
The measure passed with but one
dissenting vote, Heffernan voting in
the negative. No opposition was
made toward the success of the
bill, but the members of the upper
house, in an endeavor to have a
little amusement at the expense
of Senator Belzar, came nearly sad
ding an amendment on the measure
that would have necessitated its
returning to the assembly for an
other vote
Senator Tallman, following the
final reading of the measure, moved
that the name of Mineral" county
be changed to "Belzar" county.
Senator Mills noticed that the car
rying of the amendment would re-
suit in the bill having to undergo
the ordeal of again facing both
houses, and attempted to secure the
reconsideration of the motion.
This he finally did, only after
he had voted to adopt the amend
ment. A suggestion to name the
section "Belzar-Mills" county did
not carry.
There was not bit of excite
ment over the passage of the bill
and only a few spectators were
present when the vote was taken.
OF speeches there was also a
scarcity.

STILL JOCKEY|NG ON
THE MEXICAN BORDER

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. BY way
of variation, it is safely predicted
that Juarez will not be attacked
tonight. Whether it is called upon
to defend itself at all, seemingly
depends upon whether Navarro, at
the head of the 1000 federals from
Chihuahua, or Jose De La Leg
Blanco, with $50 insurrectos from
Casas Grandes, arrives first.
A rumor reached here last night
that Navarro had met with a re-
verse, but it was only a rumor.
Wires being down, it could not be
investigated.
One story was that a train on
which he was travelling had been
brown up, and another had it that
Generau Blanco had met and de-
feated him. With reference to
Blanco, the rumor is improbable,
as he is numerically inferior to the
federal leader.
If Navarro reaches Juarez first, ii
would be folly, to all appearances
for Orozco to attack, even with
the assistance of reinforcements
from Alanis and Blanco
Alanis camped last night twelve
miles east of here on the Mexican
side of the Rio Grande, at a ham
let called Sargosa. Ammunition was
taken across the river at this point
and this morning Alanis and his
men had disappeared. A search OF
tAe hills in that vicinity failed te
disclose his present whereabouts
but he and his men are now vir.

Troops Encounter Rebels.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Feb. 9.--The
first fighting since the Mexican in
surrection drifted west of the Colo
rado river occurred Wednesday aft
ernoon when a part of Gov. Vegas
troops encountered a body of rebels,
whose strength is not known, near
Joopa, about sixteen miles southeast
of Campo, according to reports
received here yesterday from federal
sources.
According to the version of the
federals, the firing lasted about
three-quarters of an hour, many
shots being exchanged, and the in
surgents then fed, leaving fifteen
of their men on the field dead
The federals lost two men killed.
The spoils of the victory were six
horses and several thousand rounds
of ammunition captured from the
rebels

The board took second ballot
this afternoon, with no hope of a
compromise, so the matter will go
over until the next meeting, when
the full board will likely be in at

to be a popular one, Judging from
the number of bidders for the job

month; Frank Meyer, 5000; William
Trabert and R. G. Mayors, $3.50;
