THE COPPER ERA, CLIFTON, ARIZ., SEPT. 7, ISM.
I NEW ADDITION TO CLIFTON.
Choice, Level Lots Placed on the
Market. 30 Sold in Less
Than a Week.
Just keep your ere on Henry Hill's
Addition to Clifton. That it is tha best
investment that can ba made is proven
by the fact that 30 lots have been sold in
less than one week, and hardly anyone
knows that there are any such lots at
all. Good building lots in Clifton are
not to be found, and a house "For Rent"
sign is an unknown article. With tha
mining industry advancing as it is in
this district, which is so rapidly increas
ing all kinds of business, it would be an
easy matter to rent a hundred good
houses without reducing the rental from
the present high figures.
It is also reported, and on good author
ity, too, that Graham county will soon
be divided. Should that prove to be
true, Clifton must necessarily become a
county seat. There are other substantial
improvements ahout to be made near
this plot of ground, the land for which
has already bean secured, which makes
this Addition to Clifton exceptionally at
tractive as an investment. An invest
ment id good or bad, according to the
demand for the property invested in, and
the competition in the sale of other like
or similar property. Demand and com
petition regulates values. This is as true
of real estate as it is of groceries and dry
goods. With plenty of competition the
demand becomes over supplied and val
ues decrease. Without competition val
ues must increase, because the demand
exceeds the supply. Where a brisk de
mand exceeds the supply, and there can
be no competition, where is the limit to
the raise in values? Henry Hill's Addi
tion to Clifton has no competition as
there is no other building ground, and
the demand for houses is great and con
stantly growing. The increase in the de
velopment of the mines in this district
is rapidly growing, as well as the in
crease in the production of those devel
oped, all of which is largely increasing the
volume of business done in Clifton, and
this constantly keeps up the demand for
more building space, and as building
space is scarce it will always have an in
creased value. But as a place to build
homes for those who are paying high
rents, it offers inducements that cannot
be found in any other part of Clifton.
The ground is high and dry, and not so
tightly hemmed in by the high rocky
bluffs, and it is always much cooler be
cause it is so open ; it is absolutely free
from the fumes and smoke from the
smelter; it is away from all disagreeable
noises and other obj actionable features
of Clifton; the lots are large, being fifty
feet front by one hundred and thirty feet
deep, with an alley in the rear; each lot
has room enough for a good sized houea,
with lawn in front and garden in the
rear ; there is an abundance of water for
irrigation and the town will be supplied
with the best of mountain water for do
mestic purposes; bridges screes the river
are to be built and every convenience af
forded. In fact it is the ideal placa to
build an elegant home and live in peace
and quiet where there is plenty of good
fresh air, plenty of room and wtiere there
are no objectionable features,and especi
ally so for children. j
There will be several houses built im-1
mediately by those who have already
purchased lots for that purpose. Tins
present, low prices of these lois will in
jure their speedy sale, as the people
know and appreciate a good thing, and
they have had nothing better otfered
them since the discovery of the mines in
this district. The Era predicts that
every lot will be sold, and many of them
refold at a handsome profit, in less than
a twelve-month.
Not only keep your eye on Hill's Ad
dition to Clifton, but the Era's advice to
all is to buy a lot before an advance is
made in the price, which is sure to come
soon. We did.
