Fort Myers Press: We learned last
week through Col. W. F. Mickle and MI
I. S. Singletary, of the prospect of a large
game preserve being established in Lee
county. II was thought best not to make
the matter public until the location had
been settled upon, as the parties IepIe-
senting the sportsmen back of the enter
prise have under consideration several
other tracts in South Florida However
as the Fort Myers correspondent of the
Tinles-Un ana Citizen has made the
matter public in that newspaper We feel
a liberty 10 give the informa ton. A
large body of land, containing many thous-
and acres has been selected on the main
land in this county. east of Marco Island.
There is probably not another tract in
the state where large game is so plenti-
full as in this tract, deer, turkey, bear
panther, wildcats, etc, existing there in
large numbers. It is proposed to build
a fence eight or ten feet high enclosing
the entire tract; to build club houses and
lodges including boat houses. as the
fishing in the Gulf nearby would also be
one of the attractive features of the sports
men who are back of the scheme. AS
soon as ma alters have been decided upon
we shall secure fun particulars and give
them to our readers.
