SHORTER RoUTE EAST Crook has set his mind upon opening more direct wagon road between this section of Arizona aud the eastern parts, around Camp Apache, and has given in. struetlons 10 MT. Cooley, at Camp Apache, to SC. feet feasible route along the summit of the Black Mcsa or, as some call 1t, the Mogollon mountain. This Is step in the right direction. At present, there Is but one wagon road from this section to Apache, and 1t Is entirely too long and rough.
 Saturday last, MT. Cooley called upon us for information concerning tho country through which the road Is to be built. We gave him nll the information wc could about h, and sent him to MT. B. A. Husscy, who, In 1865, went through said country, with ourself and others, 10 Camp Apache aud Fort West, near the headwateis Ui the Gia. Mir. II. thinks, as we do, that good and short road can be made, at some cost, how. ever.
 Geu. Crook has already selected a better and shorter route from Camp Verde to the summit of the MOgollon, than that now travelled, so we sec no good reason why a trst-rHte road cannot now be made 10 Camps Apache, Graham, Bowie, So. nora and New Mexico, work which ought to have been done long ago, by government, which hns never yet given this Territory as much as one dollar 10 open road, while 1t has spent tens oi thousands oi dollars for similar purpose in other Territories.
 This road will run, for about 200 miles, through dense forest Of pine, etc. The country Is well watered grass Is abundant and game, of all kinds plentiful.
 From 1t will branch other roads, so that it bidl fair 10 become the greatest highway on this sidt of the Rocky mountains.
