MINTURN WANTS
AUTO TOURISTS
Lively Railroad Town is Prepar-
Ing to Capitalize its Scenic
Beauties.

hAAAAA H. RbiOIAuO, III Eagle toull-
l ty on the main line of the Denver &
( Rio Grande railroad, and surround
\ ing vicinity offers to the tourist,
angler, hunter and careworn man or
woman, first and foremost, oppor-
tunities unexcelled by any other part
/ of the state for recreation, sport and
absolute rest from the toll and cares
/ OF life, where one can get back to
nature in true form.
To this end, the populace of Min
turn have united in a determined eff
fort to get them their share and por-
tion of summer tourists and fisher
men Eagle river flows through the
center of this little hamlet and has
in the past been famed for excellent
trout fishing, but now that within
the past five years, through the in
tluence and persistent work of per-
sonal boosters, the stream has been
re-stocked by the state and govern
ment, Eagle river and local tribu-
taries in the vicinity of Minturn are
the best fishing streams in the state.
The fact that the stream has re-
Gently been clarified of all mineral
deposits of talings from concentrating
mills and with the high water season
Of this year now at hand should leave
the river bed free to the unbounded
propagation of all kinds of barnacles
helgomites and other fish food.
Within easy drives, walks or ac-
cess from Minturn are the famous
trout streams of Mount Holy Cross.
Gore, and Piney, to which the tour
ist has almost unrestricted access,
scarcely any territory being posted
or forbidden, and those prohibited
parts of the streams can be frequent-
ed for the asking. Roads and trails
have been improved so that even
those most particular of segregating
themselves absolutely from civiliza-
tion and humanity can vie with ma
ture from the backbone of the Con-
tinent.
Minturn commands many other
commercial advantages which are op-
en- to the tourist as for instance, mer-
camille house carrying a general sup
ply of camp complement, fishing tao
kle that is fit for fishing, guns, am
munition, etc. More than this. Min
turn is now prepared to supply the
auto tourist with supplies, Mr.. G. c.
Nottingham, having built a garage,
is in a position to store and shelter
automobiles.
The tourist can also have choice of
conveyance by livery if they so de-
sire. Several hotels and rooming
houses offer their service to guests
at moderate prices.
Last but not least comes the fam
GUS Mount of Holy Cross water
which Minturn is serving to her
guests through a municipal water
plant Just recently completed. This
water coming as it does from the top
.of the world Stands higher test for
purity than 1uyoother natural water
in the state, almost 100 per cent pure
II has been said by eminent authority
that ITO recreate, rest and drink the
Mount Of Holy Cross water at Min
turn for a few weeks in summer will
do you far more good than all the
medicine"
So Minturn invites you to spend
your vacation and out with her and
assures that you will never have rea-
sons for regret. The fact that the
hills abound with grouse, which sea-
son opens right at the best fishing
season should be convincing in
ducement to those who may be as yet
undecided, to rejuvenate at Min
turn.
