ESTABLISHED 1871 JAMES JR. IVES, MANAGER 1911 ================================================= Grand Lake Inspiring and sublime beyond the power of words to tell, without an equal or a peer in all the wonderland of Colorado, is this gem of the Rockies—beautiful Grand Lake. Like a mighty jewel, nestled in the breast of the mountains by the hand of the Almighty, its sparkling surface reflecting the blue of the sky and tue green of the fringing forest; its ever-changing beauty and silent grandeur, guarded forever by the faithful hills, whose rock domes reach up, ever upward, toward the eternal stars. A song whose sweet and entrancing melody could come from no concourse of human tongues; a picture whose rapturus and romantic beauty no artist can ever convey to canvas. Such is Grand Lake. You have heard it said of some things that they must be seen to be appreciatetd. Of nothing is this so true as of Grand Lake. You have looked upon the picture; you have read the word painting of a writer—but you have not seen Grand Lake. Oh. no! You know nothing of it until you have stood upon its wave-kissed shores and listened to its sweet song. The lake is a mile in width, and is two miles long. Its greatest depth has never been sounded. Its waters, as well as the streams running in and out of it, are alive with the finest mountain, rainbow and brook trout. The United States fish commissioner is now operating a fish hatchery at Grand Lake. There are numerous drives and horseback trails leading to points of interest. The fishing in Grand Lake and surrounding streams is unsurpassed anywhere in the state. Alden Isaac, mining promoter. Bartholomew C E, lumber. BELLEVUE HOTEL, P H Smith prop.
