Timothy Kinney, the wealthy Wyoming Wyo-ming capitalist, has just become a Salt Lake real estate owner by the purchase of a valuable piece of business property prop-erty on State street. The purchase is the Nephi W. Clayton property, on the vest side of State just below Second South. The lot has a frontage of thirty-six feet on State street and a depth of 335 feet. The building is a three-story brick and the lower floor is now occupied by the Falstaff saloon. This deal was negotiated by Frank E. McGurrin. The property was bought by Mr. Kinney as an investment invest-ment and it is now paying 7 per cent net on the purchase price. This is the first investment of the Wyoming capitalist cap-italist in Salt Lake property, and coming com-ing on the heels of his fine contribution of Jo.OOO toward the completion of St. Mary's cathedral, it is taken to mean that he is becoming interested in Salt Lake in different ways. Mr. Kinney's home is in Hock Springs, where he if the president of one of the leading banks. Our old advertiser. Huddart. has resumed re-sumed business and his floral adver-ijsement adver-ijsement again adorns our columns. Soon the posies will be no longer visible visi-ble in our gardens and nature will put n the garb of the winter. But our love for the sleepers in the cemetery s as green as ever, and no sweeter thought come? to our mind than the , decoration of graves. |
