MESA
SALE OF THE MESA HOTEL.
(. J. 6ennitt, of Phoenix, Becomes
the Owner of Valuable Mesa
Property.

Friday deal was closed by George
Schornick by which the Mesa hotel
passed into the hands of +. j. Ben
nit, of Phoenix. An inventory Of
the hotel property was made yes
terday and the building and fixtures
turned over to Mrs. Gertrude Nc
Daniels who viii have charge of the
hotel business. Mrs. McDaniels came
here recently from Los Angeles to
conduct the hotel for Mr.. Schornick,
and was transferred with the property
with her consent Of course.
The sale was not a cash considera-
ton. Mr.. Bennitt had more land
than he wanted and Mr.. Schornick
was tired of trying to run a hotel
in Mesa SO long as he resided in
Los Angeles. Long distance hotel
keeping has its drawbacks and Mr.
SchOrnick preferred to convert the
property into land that would not
cause him quite so many worries.
The land is located southeast of
town, contains $50 acres, all under
the Eastern canal, and hence assured
Of water. The new owner will have
it seeded to alfalfa.
d len years ago Mr.. SchOfnlcK was
the owner Of what is now the AIillett
orange orchard; in fact he was one
of the pioneer orange growers Of the
valley. He disposed of the orchard,
built the hotel on three lots located
on east Main street, and has since
had the property, on his hands. The
building is a good one. the location
is a favorable one for a family no.
tel, and there is no reason why it
should not be a paying proposition.
especially if Mr.. Bennitt will fit it up
to accommodate the tourist travel. In
recent years it has been conducted
as a rooming house only, no meals
being served there.
