can play in aiding the nations pro-
motion Of flying.
Colonel Lindbergh expects to
reach no definite and specific plan
on his work until after his depar-
ture tomorrow for New York, where
he will stage more conferences.
In contrast to the triumphal re-
ception less than two weeks ago
when he returned from Europe was
Lindbergh's arrival yesterday from
the west. Using his usual means of
travelling. the airplane. the youthful
pilot flew an army single-seater pur-
suit machine from Dayton, Ohio, to
find only small handful mainly
officials and newspapermen to meet
him at Boiling Field.
He then rode in an automobile
through Washington's crowded traf-
fic practically unrecognized but the
pilot seemed relieved at being free
from receptions, although busy with
the thoughts OF his plans, his engag-
ing smile rarely frightened his face
during his stay here.
His conferences were held in Sc
curity from crowds and newspaper
men on the "Sylph," Secretary Will
bur's yacht in a cruise on the Po-
tomac river. These discussions, how
ever, were broken by a luncheon
with Secretary of Commerce Hoov-
er. and dinner at the home of AS
sistant Secretary MacNider Of the
war department. He spent the night
at Secretary Hoover's home, retiring
just before midnight.
Lindbergh announced that he
would not attend the 4th of July
celebration at Philadelphia and also
would take no flight over the pro-
posed New York to Miami air mail
route. He also said that he had
reached no definited decision as to
his appearance at Ottawa. Canada.

Some of Our Near By
High Up Distances
(Coconino Sun of June %. 1901

(Coconino Sun of June %, 1901
We have recently made measures
of the geographical position Of Flag
staff and the Lowell observatory in
order to find if the maps are correct.
The position determined for the de-
pot in town is Latitude 35 deg. II
min. II sec. N. Longitude, 7h, 26m.
41s. w. of Greenwich
The standard height at the depot
floor is $3.50 feet above sea level.
The floor of the observatory is 354
feet above the depot platform and
therefore 7,244 feet above sea level.
The distance of the observatory from
the depot is almost exactly mile.
Agassiz Peak, up which Doyle's
trail goes, is 12,345 feet above sea
level, or 5,464 feet above the depot.
It's distance in an air line from the de-
pot is closely $4,000 feet. From the
Methodist church the distance is ex-
actly 9 miles. The lower eastern
peak, Fremont, is II 1858 feet in ele.
walton. It is therefore 401 feet lower
than Agassiz. It's distance from Agas-
siz is very closely $50 feet, or a
trifle less than mile. It's distance
from the Methodist church is 3-8
miles.
Humphreys Peak, the highest point,
but which appears to us as a lower
peak over beyond the others, is 1860
feet in elevation. This is 276 feet
higher than Agassiz. It's distance
from Agassiz is 7,400 feet, or 38
miles; and its distance from the Meth
odist church is 10 1-3 miles.
The altitude of the old camping
place in the saddle between the peaks
is II ,450 feet; it is therefore 500 feet
below Fremont, 900 feet below Agas-
siz, and nearly 200 feet below Hum
phrey's.

SAN FRANCISCO MOUNTAIN
RESERVE CONSOLIDATED
(Coconino Sun of Jan. 19, 1901)

(Coconino Sun of Jan. 10, 1901)
The San Francisco mountain re-
serve of Arizona has been solidified.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the government and the indi-
vidual owners Of the odd sections in
the reserve by which the government
RECEIVERS it's title to all this land in
lieu of other lands exchanged therefor.
This completes a reserve Of nearly
two million acres and guarantees ade-
quate protection to the magnificent
forest and the conservation of the wa
ters that feed the Verde and Salt riv-
ers. The value Of this action to the
people of the Salt River valley cannot
be overestimated. 1t not only will be
of great benefit to their water sys-
TEN but will give a great impetus to
the water storage movement and will
encourage the establishment OF indus
tries in the valley that will rely upon
an adequate water supply for success.
Under this ruling Arizona's total
forest reserve embraces nearly five
million acres which is surpassed by
but few reserves in the entire country.
