CASTLE CREEK
HOT SPRINGS

Castle Greek Hot Springs, Ariz., Fe0-
2S.-(Special correspondence of The
RepublicanI-If the census of Castle
Creek hot springs could be taken now
it would show a most abnormal in
crease. There are more people at
Castle Creek now than ever before in
its history New arrivals are con-
stantly coming in and few so out. The
new arrivals meet old friends here or
are otherwise made to feel at home by
the informal way of entertaining on
the part of the management. There
are practically no transients at the
springs, nearly all the guests remain
ing Il month or over the entire season.
Many of the guests at the springs now
came out in October. They find such
variety of amusements together with
perfect climate and the best of ac-
the season. All who visit the springs
extend their stay beyond their first
plans.
The number of guests now at the
springs is very gratifying in view Of
the extensive improvements made dur
ing last summer. There are few hotels
in the west 50 we'll equipped with
every convenience and with their own
facilities for making light, heat and
ice. The hotel owns and operates its
electric light plant and ice machine
which makes it independent of outside
service and guarantees the best in
10th lines. This feeling of resouTceful-
ness is participated in by the guests
who take much pride in the power
house ard its roomful of machinery. A
large garden provides the table with
fresh vegetables. With the acquisition
OF new guests the stock of horses i'll
the corral has been increased, 50 that
all who care TO ride or drive may
have their own horses or be provided
with horses. \ number of burros are
also kept and are popular With the
children and a few guests, VINO enjoy
riding for the novelty of the exper-
/ fence
