Arizona,

A report from Big Bug Greek states
the deal for the purchase of the old
tailings dump at the Boggs mine that
accumulated at Arizona City over a
third OF century ago, has been con-
summated. Its value was never ap-
prectated until short time ago when
T.. e. Hill sampled it and the deal was
closed.
Further reduction in force employed
IN the mines and smelter Of the Can

How's YOUR BLOOD
Pimples and Exuptions
Mean Bad Blood

People who have impure or impove7s
fshed blood should be careful to take
only temperance remedy made Of wild
roots and barks such As Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery 10 and has
been for nearly so years. Ingredients
printed on wrapper.
The first day you start to take thie
reliable medicine, impure germs and
accumulation begin to separate In the
blood and are then expelled through
the eliminative organs.
In place of the impurities, the ar.
teries and veins gradually get fresh
vitalized blood and the action of this
good blood on the skin means that pim-
pies, boils, carbuncles, eczema rash,
acne and all skin blemishes will disap-
pear. Then you must remember that
when the blood Is right, the liver, stom-
ach, bowels and kidneys become healthy,
active and vigorous and you will have
no more trouble with indigestion, back
ache, headache.

OF course height Of ceiling is a
rental feature and the area of an en-
tire floor is to be taken up in the extra
height of the ceilings in this house.
Character of tenantry, Mr.. Carpen
ter said recently, is an asset and
should be the aim of builders. 1t is
his plan to hold his tenants as long
as possible and he is going TO demand
that they lease for at least ten years.
Pease q Gilman, who have the agency
OF the house, expect little difficulty in
renting the eleven apartments.
The ownership Of the apartment is
interesting and perhaps Will inspire
similar improvements. The Schley cs-
tate provided the Site this being its
interest IN the enterprise. William
Henry Barnum 4 Co. advanced the
money to make the improvement and
Mr.. Carpenter gave his services as de-
sgner and builder.
This was not the arrangement at the
outset. Pease d. Gilman were selling
the site to Mr. Carpenter, who was
getting inancia! aid from Mr.. Bar
NUNS company through william A.
White & Sons. Everything was NOV
ing nicely until a member Of the Ca
tate advanced the eopartnership.

could be purchased. "Yes," was the
answer Of the Guilford family. which
has owned the buildings from the time
they were erected.
The Spectator is said to have paid
the family its price, which was based bv
him on the intrinsic possibilities Of the
property and not on the fact that the
buildings have stood on Manhattan
Island longer than any others. They
VIII be removed within the next few
weeks. Lovers Of old New York will
get some comfort out Of the fact that
though the new building will not have
the form Of the old structures. the
material IN the old structures will be
put into the new one. The brick in the
face of the structures is to be care
fully removed, cleaned and given an
acid wash. They are Just IS hard and
serviceable as the day they were put
INTO the tavern and its neighbour The
tlmbers are just as sound They were
hand hewn and are as stout as when
cut in the woods near Golden Hill
centuries ago.
Mr.. Cohen. who has soft spot for
old New York despite the fact that his
business is such that sentiment must
be held in check, is not only planning
to put back the old material wherever
feasible, but will erect building that
will be colonial in feeling, which will
compensate somewhat for the buildings
that have come down.

operated swift sailing boats from Hal

was recognized by the merchants Of
the town who hired him to meet ships

Captain Kidd started out to catch

Novel Hotel Features Introduced
The idea of providing out Of town
papers for the use of patrons was in
troduced at the Sign of the Horse and
Cart in 1851, by George Burns. who
came to the tavern from one which he
conducted opposite the Merchants
CoHee House. lie advertised the idea
IN the newspapers thus: "To CRAFTY

A Mr.. Guilford is said to have bought
three plots on Horse and Cart Street.
This name was given the stxeet because
it was a passage to a ferry to Long
Island and used by carts. To the east
of the Shoemakers' pasture was Van
dercliff's orchard or farm.
Mr.. Guilford had Dutch architect
design the building. The brick used
he secured at bargain. They WIRE
brought to New Amste rdam as ballast
and the shipper lost no time in dis
posing of them regardless of price.
The building was erected in 1892, &C
cording to some records, and 1893 is
the date given by others. When
finished it was promptly given name
that. would designate it's location.
Property Owners Held Meetings There
It's position in the life Of the city is
made clear by an advertisement which
appeared in the newspapers of the time
calling a meeting of property interests
in the colony for the purpose of laying
plans for their mutual benefit The
advertisement appeared in October,
1888.
The lots adjoining had been improved
with two dwellings about this time.
1t was an ideal location both for q
hotel and residence on the top of a
hill which is still to be seen in Will
lam Street. Captain Kidd, who later
became the scourge of the sea, lived
m Hanover Place, just west cf Pearl
Street. His house was at the waters
edge. It was the habit of the captain
to stroll west along the palisades along
Wall Street and then north to the
Horse and Cart.

which practically wiped out New
York's business district in 1885.
They have gone through all periods
until this one, which, indeed, is unpre-
decented in the history of this city as
every one knows, whether they are in
real estate or some other business. 1t
has been developing for several years
and last fall or Whereabouts broke in
the big business district of New York,
which has been fttingly named by
William A. White & Sons the Heart of

Insurance Men Responsible for Loss
The insurance business is badly
hampered because Of limited business
accomodations. Had the William Street
district enough Of square feet of unoc-
cupied premises to meet the call of fire
underwriters there would have been no
incentive for Elias A. Cohen and his
associates in the Broadway-John
Street Corporation replacing New
York's oldest and perhaps one of its
most historic buildings.
Several insurance concerns have told
real estate brokers that they would
pay we'll for space il the centre of the
insurance district. The brokers in turn
told Mr.. Cohen, and as the Tavern and
its old neighbors cover site larger
than any to be had in the district and
perhaps could be bought reasonably be-
cause Of the undeveloned condition Of
the holdings, he gave all attention to
the acquisition of the relics OF early
New York. The Cruikshank Company,
