The loca- tion is right on top of the mountains before descending into Prescott It is always cool there and the vicinity af- lords an excellent camping ground free 'f charge. Water can be obtained at any place along the line of railroad by digging a few feet. It is fine water, too. Fifteen families are camping there now and from all accounts are having a good time"
