LOTS sold from fifty to
eight hundred dollars,
Man Mho Left Anchorage Tuesday
Says Property Brought Big
ger Prices all Around.
The sale of lots last Monday in An
chorage resulted in prices that rang
ed from fifty dollars to eight hundred
dollars, according to Dan Saunders
who arrived last evening after having
left the new railroad town last Tues
day morning. On the whole, Mr
Saunders is inclined to believe, th<
lots brought nearly double the price
received for similar lots at the first
sale. Most of those sold this time
were outlying residence lots but the
ones that brought the highest prices
were close in. Mr. Saunders has beer
in the Matanuska country during the
summer, around Matanuska Junctior
and the coal fields. He says many
settlers have arrived in the district
and are putting in crops. The En
gineering commission is building a
bridge over the Matanuska river.
Everything looks fine in that section.
SKM VRD MILL BRING THE
LOCOMOTIVES TO SEWARD.
The steamer Seward which left this
morning for Anchorage will take the
two locomotives, crane, etc., olT the
Sinalao in Cook Inlet and bring them
to this city, according to information
received. The Sinaloa did not call at
this port because of the limited
schedule. Its contract calls for an un
load of five days and $550 must be
paid the owners of the vessel for each
day above that number, so it is cheap
er to reship on a freighter. The
Sinalao had aboard when she arrived
at Anchorage 2.500 measurement
tons. The crane coming to this city
weighs seventy tons.

COMPLIMENTS SEWARD BOYS.
The Cook Inlet Pioneer of last Sat
urday pays a high compliment to the
boys who made up the Seward team
that went to play Anchorage and
Knik. Says the Pioneer:
“The Seward team is a distinct
credit to our neighboring town. It is
composed of fine manly fellows.”
This is something which the Gate
way ha* often been tempted to say,
but you can’t very well boost a bunch
you have to look in the eye every day.
The Pioneer is right.

ANCHORAGE LOTS AVERAGE
MORE THAN $220 EACH.
According to Letter to Gateway a
Sale Must have Taken Place
Saturday.
“Sixty-five lots were sold here on
Saturday and totalled $14,505,” says
a letter to the Gateway. According to
this the sale must have begun two days
before the time supposed to have been
fixed unless the writer made a slip.
The letter is dated the 17th, and it
goes on to say that the “sum of $4,915
was secured this afternoon for 48
lots.” The first sale mentioned would
mean an average of more than $220
a lot. The second sale mentioned
would mean an average of more than
a hundred dollars per lot. An account
received from another source says:
“The number of lota sold up to the
time of the Watson’s leaving Anchor
age is said to be 133 and the amount
paid for same in the neighborhood of
$29,000.’*
The writer of the letter says that
from talks with government men he
has come to the conclusion that Sew
ard will bo very good late this fall
ami during the winter. This state
ment, he says, is borne out by the
large amount of equipment that is
coming this way.

And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that is "there;”
