Clark county unit of the national committee for economic development last week heard a warning that, since the nation's hopes for postwar industry rest on water and power, work should be resumed on Ridge canyon and Bull's Head canyon, with a highway to be completed to Bull's Head canyon. Guernsey Frazer, executive assistant at BMI, cited water and power as the country's greatest assets. Work was started on Bull's Head canyon in the winter of 1941, but the war production board halted the work.

The committee was told that ten miles of highway to be developed into Bull's Head canyon will make Nevada instead of Kingman, headquarters for the construction work, with much of the $250,000 payroll every two weeks to be expended in Nevada.

TODAY OPEN 12:45 DAILY COME EARLYI El Rancho Vegas Is Purchased Goldfield Hotel i Is Popular Spot GOLDFIELD, June 22. Were any of the capitalists, promoters and miners of the early days of Goldfield, to return to the lobby of the famous old hostelry, the Goldfield hotel, they would probably be surprised to see the place filled with young mothers with their children, families of army men. Closing of all mines in this vicinity and establishing an army base at Tonopah, is responsible for the great change.

Benjamin Brodsky, managing director of the hotel from Los. Angeles, who spent a week here recently, says this is one hotel where all babies are welcome and reports there are fully fifty babies which come, down to the lobby and fifty more in basinets, cribs and occasionally in bureau drawers in the upper apartments. He further stated that the parents of any child born in the hotel will receive a month's rent free, and if any one should be lucky enough to have twins, three months' free rent will be granted. Brodsky pointed out that the hotel company had recently purchased the five lots adjacent to, and east of the hotel and this space would be converted into a swimming pool and would be used for a skating pond in the winter. Another innovation is the long roof over the kitchen which may be reached from the windows on the second floor, which is used by sunbathers as it is shielded on three sides from the cool breezes.

Another much needed improvement made has been the filling of the one hundred foot mine shaft directly back of the hotel. A number of years ago when the shaft belonged to Charles Fagenbush, a rather dramatic incident occurred. Fagenbush had associated with him, a miner named Phil Thorn, who assisted in the development work which consisted of running crosscuts near the bottom of the shaft. One evening after blasting, Thorn was about to descend to the bottom to ascertain results. Thorn put his feet into the small mine bucket they were using.

Fagenbush started lowering him, but for some reason the rope parted and Thorn and the bucket started for the bottom. Reaching the heavy platform, he went right on through it into the water. On being brought out Thorn was found to be suffering from nothing more serious than a sprained thumb. LAS VEGAS, June 22.
