John Groesbeck Has a Stone Quarry, a Br'ckyard and Two Gold Mines. BECK'S EOT SPRINGS TOR SALE John Eeck will Part With This Valuable Property for One Hundred and Fifty Thousand. John Groesbeck is getting ready to build a good sized city, all by himself or rather with the other Groesbecks. lie owns so much business property and w ill do 8 ) much buildiug that he cannot afford to run the risk of a brick famine or a stone famine. To take time by tho forelock he has already placed a brick yard in successful operation. opera-tion. Yesterday he purchased the last one-fourth interest in a Kyune stone quarry at Thistle and will open it tip to supply his numerous numer-ous building enterprises with stoue. Mr. Groesbeck expects to build on both the east and west side of Main street, and has numerous projects for the State road and Fourth South in contemplation. con-templation. The old row of shanties north of the St. Elmo will next season bo replaced with one of the handsomest business structures in tho city. Mr. Groesbeck devoted much of his time during the past summer in Idaho superintending the building build-ing of immense sluices to wash out a gulch that contains a bonanza of gold.

With suitable bathing accommodations accommoda-tions they would become nearly as popular pop-ular in winter as they are in summer. The salt sea bathing only lasts three months in the year, or just long enough to initiate patrons for the fall, winter and spring bathing at the thermal springs. The street car lines already reach the warm springs and will soon be extended ex-tended to the hot springs. The street railway stockholders have already had a taste of the luxuriant consignment of nickels into their tills from this extension. exten-sion. They fully appreciate tho fact that with suitable bathing houses at these resorts it would add nearly $100,-000 $100,-000 to their yearly dividends. Bock's hot springs are for sale. And Mayor Scott says the city will soon advertise the Warm Springs for sale to the highest and best bidder. It was hoped that John Beck with his princely dividends out of the Bullion-Beck Bullion-Beck mine would build a bathing resort second to none in this country and hand his name down to posterity as a public beneti actor. a..
