Arizona republican., 1899-01-20

las the direct result of the efforts of the
 above named gentlemen, who have
 brought so many profitable Arizona enterprises to the notice of eastern in
 vestors The present owners have
 spent a large sum in road building in
 order to make this resort easy Of ac-
 cess from the railroad; also in ho,el
 and other buildings and improvements.
 The money has been well expeEded. l The accommodations a~e ample and
 comfortabIe. Guests here for either health or pleasure are as we'll cared for
 as at any hotel or resort in the west.
 The company's manager, MT. c. M. 1 Colkoun, and his eStimaible wife, fully understand their responsibilities, and visitors are made to feel the home in fuences a5ounding a. the springs.
 This place is 6eached by rail only from the s. F. P. & P. railroad, the nearest station being Hot Springs Junction, twenty-four miles from here. A good hotel aC the junction accom- modate5 intending visitors to the springs. The sage leaves a. ' a. m. and arrives here at noon or eatlier, returning in the afternoon, carrying mail both ways. The drive of twenty four miles is one of the most interest ing in this mountain region. The road,
 
 tain ranges, scales canyon rims and plunges into gulches Of wonderful depth. The springs are situated amid4'. the grandesi. mountain scenery in the west Peaks and bUttes of tre- mendOus height rear themselves on every side, while canyons of startling Ea~rowness and great depth expose the earth's s,rata to the creek bed.
 The whole regiCn is of great inter- est to the tourist Numerous mines in the neighborhCOd, besides the natural attractions, afford an abundance of points for excursions and picnics. Hurting is good, and horses fer riding or driving plentiful.
 Every one who comes here, whether sick or not, tries the water. The sight Cf the hot water gushing from the solid rock into the cleat pool below makes bathing irresistible. Those who do not care to venture into the pool are ac- cOmmCdated at the bath houses.
 Many things are claimed for the cur atiVe properties Of the water, but the best way is to come and try it. The trip is worth any ones while. The tempel.atur here is surprisingly mijI for a mountain resort. This morning, for instance, at o'clock the tnermom- eter registered 47 degrees above, and yesterday dDOuL noon the mercury reached 75 degrees. The high noun tains roundabout prevent sudden changes at the springs.
 Among the guests now here is MT. c. Bowen of Detroit, Mich. Mir. Bowen is a member of the great seed firm of D. M. Ferry & Go. He is largely interest ed in Arizona enterprises, being treas urer of the s. F. P. & P. railroad and a stCckhClder in the Consolidated canal at Mesa also a member of Arizona banks. He has visited the territory many times and is a firm believer in it's future. Accompanying MT, Bowen here is MT. F. J. SarmieDto, auditor of the s. F.
