There was a long list of wants. Among these Mr. Lett asked for two or two and one-half rods on a cut street for from $1200 to $1 100. Mr. Wickersham said that he had it and in a moment the deal was closed. Mr. Lett also asked for five acres of good tillable land within with-in livo miles of Hie city. Quito a lot of new property was listed this morning. Prices arc going up somewhat. The snaps have all been gobbled up and anything that now is offered for even a shade below tho market mar-ket price is Knapped up so quick that it almost lakes the breath away. The city is full of strangers and every one of them seems to be looking after real estate. Dr. McKenney, of New Orleans, has been here a month and has just purchased 185x125 on Sixth South between Fifth and Sixth Fast, and will erect an eight house terrace. Iaeh house will contain six rooms. Tho terrace will cost about $38,000. This Means Kiiaiuea. As an instance showing how Salt Lako city impresses the average visitor from tho east, the following is characteristic. charac-teristic. Mr. K. K. Wise, general manager man-ager of the Hutchison & Southern railroad, rail-road, was receully in tho city on his way to the Pacific coast. He looked around him here and before leaving said to a reporter that he believed Salt Lake would become the great city between be-tween the Missouri river and the Pacific coast. Ho was particularly attracted by the evidences of the city's business growth, and said that he would stop off here on his return and make some investments in-vestments in realty. Some of his friends, ho said, had made a great deal of money on real estate here. He referred particularly to one piece of property in the northern part of the city that had been purchased by a friend of his for $600 per acre and'for which $1500 per acre had recently been olfercd, an advance ad-vance of 250 per cent. Not Yrt C ne Through. 'There is one thing more I wish to say to you. "The Tabor deal, it has not yet gono through." Thus sang Mr. Wickersham as he entered en-tered the real estate exchange this morning. Considerable time was spent discussing this deal by the real estate men today. That Senator Tabor was negotiating for the site referred to, but as it is known tjitit tho property would have to go through the courts, which would take from six months to a year, it is generally thought that tho proposed pro-posed deal will fall through. A Stone Ware Manufacturer.

Besides this, he would like to have the market price of stone ware in Salt Lake, and all other information in regard to the growth and prosperity of the city. The Senators Remark. "Utah will soon bo in tho lead in mineral products," said Senator Tabor at the chamber of commerce tho other day, while viewing the collection of Utah minerals on exhibition there. This remark has great force coming as it does from a man who has a thorough knowledge of the mineral resources of tho western country.

A gontlcnum from the east this week visited the hot 'springs. He expressed much wonder that such a valuable sanitarium san-itarium was not improved and a magnificent mag-nificent hotel and bathing house ereiO--ed.
