REAL ESTATE. Leadville Silver Going into Chicago Real Estate. Sale of the Peter Page Block for $255,000. Good Demand for Inside Property~Sales, Buildings, and Loans—City Improvements, “Real Estate in New York and San Franois- co—Taxation in New York. Real estate cannot be truthfully desoribed as dull, About 400,000 ounces of . LEADVILLE SILVER have been just transmuted Into Chicago real estate by two successful minc-owners. These -purchases include the Hamlin Theatre prop- erty on Clark streot, which Mr. Willi Morden has bought for $123,000; the State street property on the old Opern-Hottse lot, just north of the St. James Hotel, with a frontage of 98 fect nnd no building tive stories high, for $195,000; 6334x180 on Mandolph street, west of Fifth avenue, for $45,500; 20x 100 feet on Washington street, west of Dear- . born, for $35,000; and some othor bargains not yet ready for publication, Many thought the mining excitement would serluusly inter- fero with the resuscitation of real estate, ns it would attract capital that would otherwise . geek inveatinents jn land, But tho purchases of Gov. Tabor, the Bordens, and other Col- -orado millionaires prove that the profits of anining will go LARGELY INTO REAL ESTATE; and will make p new and fiportant element Jn the demand for property. Real estate 1s in much better Inqtdry than it hes been In any preceding January sineo 1873, Thero ts a good deal of looking about for desirable things to buy. This applies only to Inside property, Acres are still very quiet, ‘The LARGEST TRANSACTION of the week was the salu of the Peter Page Block, at the corner of Washington street aid Wabash avenue, for $255,000, ‘This building has o frontage of 144 feet on Wa- bash avenue and 150 feet on Washington street.
