To Build Iodqe

FLAGSTAFF-C. R. Arizona" Ed wards, well-known guide and big game hunter, arrived here from his home in Long Beach, California. on Monday, and announced his plans to immediately begin building big lodge on the west side of Mormon Lake, which he says will have a tre- mendous effect in popularizing Flag staff with those seeking recreation and ideal home sites.
 Edwards says he will be able to take care of tourists under canvas in couple of weeks. Plans for the lodge, drawn by an architect, call for log or slab covered building, con taining three rooms. each 40x56 feet, and big verandas. These rooms will be dining room, dance hall and living room. Each will have a big fire place. The dance hall will have hardwood floor.
 Edwards also plans building at once 25 or 90 cottages. each with running water; stables, a commis- sary, gas station, and kennels. He will bring in saddle horses and cars for rent, and keep lot of pedigreed airedales, bloodhounds and fox hounds.-Sun.
 Propose Artificial Lake
 FLAGSTAFF-The principal topic at the chamber of commerce meeting Friday night, was the proposed Swift ger Canyon lake, to be formed just north of town by building dam in the canyon. Mayor $. F. Quay spoke
 warmly and interestingly in behalf
 of the plan, as did Captain J. B.
 Wright, county engineer.
 MT. Quay spoke of the need of a greater water supply for Flagstaff a l %Ho& r-f hsa mat Q soon; and of the feasibility of the lake project. He said We could by building the lake have supply ot water three times as large as We have at present, though the building of the dam would not cost half as much as it did to build the present
 reservoir. He said he believes the
 city council looks with favor on the
 plan, but doesn't want to take any
 steps toward building the lake with cut first getting the endorsement oi the taxpayers.
 On motion of C. B. Wilson. Presi-
 dent T. F. Stahl, appointed George T Harrington chairman of a committee to make an investigation of the pro
 ject, it's feasibility, advisability, etc. This committee is to report back to . special meeting of the chamber oi
 commerce and this report will alst De presented to tDe city CouHNils dS- Ecompanied by the recommendation
 of the chamber of commerce Sun Leasors Continuing Work TOMBSTONE - Superintendent J ? H. Davis, of the Bunker Mill Mine: 2 company, which owns a large mum I Der of local leases. announced tha following the announcement of thu closing of the c. & A. shelter, al
 local leasors have been advised t'
 closes pending the reopening of thu Douglas smelters. The local offic'
 and books will be closed. although ; U number of leasors have announced , their intention of continuing work 2 mostly development, all supplies vii . be cash purchases. MT. Davis advice however, he announced, is to suspen,
 operations pending the resumption o l. the smelter, since there is a possibil ity that leasers may pile up ore in U tending to be treated at the presen price of silver and should the pric :. drop through some unforeseen action Il it would mean total loss to the opera Il tors. Believing that silver will re
 main at $1 % for a long time to come s however many leasors from the com
 pany and practically all independen y leasors will continue, it is said.- |
