REAL ESTATE NOW
MOVE
That the real estate In Cordova Is
now on the move for fair is indicated
by the filing today of several more
transfers of local property at the of
fice of the U. S. commissioner.
People apparently are just begin
ning to become aware that after a lull
of several years, Cordova again is to
take rank as the leading city of south
western Alaska, and are preparing for
the good times which are to come.
Business now has attained a steadi
ness of volume, which promises to be
maintained for all time to come, and
if nothing better than now obtains of
fers, the people here will be satisfied.
The transfers recorded are: Ed
ward Hegner to C. B. Anderson, lost
12, block 1, located on C street, be
tween First avenue and the railroad,
consideration *2,000. In the transfer
of this property, all of lot 12 was in
cluded in the transaction. As the
rear 40 feet belonged to A. J. Adams,
it was necessary for both Hegner and
Anderson to make another deed back
to Adams, which accounts for another
record.
Loma M. Tucker gave a quit claim
deed to George C. Hazelet of lot 11,
block 14.
George C. Hazelet to Allan Lund,
lots 3 and 4, block A.

UNIVERSITY IS
: iH BIG
: SURVEY
a
„ ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., July 11.—
lt The University of New Mexico is mak
,j ing an economic survey of its lands,
totaling more than 300.000 acres, an
I. endowment granted by congress when
New Mexico was admitted as a state
in 1011. This is the moBt thorough
ls appraisal of its kind that has been
made in the southwest on so large an
8
, acreage. The work is being done en
„ tirely by volunteers from the faculty
and by students. It is being directed
jointly by l)r. Charles T. Kirk, pro
^ fessor of geology, and Dr. John D.
Clark, professor of chemistry.
The land, which is scattered all over
the state, and is found in practically
every county, was selected by the
state land commission, without advice
or assistance from the university au
thorities. It includes agricultural,
grazing, mineral and heavily forested
, areas. The university also received
_ from congress all saline lands in the
state, amounting to a considerable
acreage, and including several exten
sive and very valuable salt lakes and
deposits.
The whole area is being divided into
40 acre tracts. Each tract is being
mapped after a careful survey. The
field notes include thorough informa
tion as to the timber stumpage, soil
content, water supply, mineral and
coal indications, and the maintenance
power of each acre for grazing pur
poses.
Frequent applications have been
made to purchase university lands, but
all have been refused by the univer
sity authorities pending completion of
this survey. It is now possible for
the university board of governors de
finitely to state the present commer
- cial value of every acre belonging to
the institution.
In addition to its 300 acre camps,
the university acquired in the hurried
selection of lands granted by congress
to the state, more than 3,000 acres of
land within sight of Albuquerque.
