IRON SPRINGS COLONY.
Several Thousand Dollars Are to Be Expended in Improving the
 Place.

Iron Springs, the most popular summer resort in Arizona, is just now the scene of a great building boom. Improvements are being carried on that will make the resort even more convenient than it has been in the past. The club which has charge of the grounds will expend some S2,500 in improvements. They will build new dining rooms and kitchen, be- sides fixing up the interior of the hotel, and also billiard rooms, and have a well selected library. The pavilion is to be entirely remodeled and widened some ten feet. After being repaired it will be a modern hall. The floor is to be put in good shape, which will add greatly to the delight of the dancers.
 At the upper spring a lOOO-gallon water tank is being put in place, which will give this spring a water storage of 2OOO gallons of water, one tank already being in place. At the lower spring a l500-gallon tank is be- ing built.
 The club intends to put up swings, teeter boards and things of like character for the amusement of tn children. Besides these there will be croquet and tennis grounds, and pos sibly d golf link. One of the club members has picked out a course, but it may be too hilly for practical use.
 Major SwartZ, who has charge of all the privileges and will manage the hotel, is expected here tomorrow. By the first of the month those now mak- ing the improvements will be through and the camp ready for business.
