 ~~ 4 DlMlNUTlvE PROTOTYPE OF THE GRAND CAM
 TON. THE PUEBLO INDIANS. Typical Arizona Scenery Along the Santa Fe, Prescott &
 Phenix Railway.

Special Correspondence of the Graphic
 SANTA Fr, N. M., Aug. 29.-From Prescott north over the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix railway there is much of very beautiful scenery. But there is only one train day each way, and as the train going north travels nearly the entire distance In the night, it was my misfortune to miss most of the scenic beauty of this line. However, the following is a description from 9 railroad pamphlet:
 ''In 8 distance oi 197 miles the traveller is afforded glimpses of near ly every variety of scenery typical of Arizona. There are bleak, bar ren mountains, and mountains coy cred with forests of pine, on whose slopes are seen the dumps of world. famous mines. There are rocky desert wastes where only uncouth eacti fnd footing to give some poor semblance of life and hope. There are watefless canyons, and canyons walling turbid streams, unreclaimed wales dotted with cattle, and broad. irrigated valley-plains level as floor, where is cultivated iu extraor- dinary profusion nearly every varie- ty of fruit, nut and vegetable not absolutely restricted to the tropics, in addition to an enormous acreage of alfalfa and the ordinary cereals of the north temperate zone.
 Both north and south of Prescott some pretty engineering problems have been solved, with picturesque result of rock-euts, trestles, detours and loops where distance is artif- ciallY created in order that grade may be overcome. At many points one marvels at the audacious imag- nation of the man who conceived it possible to construct path for 8 locomotive through region so des- perately hostile. Here in 8 gorge uplifted rock-pillars and tremendous boulders lying shoulder to shoulder contest the passage; wonder, on a slope, you may see far below a sec ond parallel track, and below that third forming sweeping loop by which the safe descent of the train is accomplished and the ascent of the opposite train made possible.
 Ash Fork, the junction point with the main line of the Santa Fe, is reached at 6:5O o'clock a. m. From this point east to Flagstaff the scenery is mountainous and pictNr esQue, the train often winding it's way along mountain side and through canyons with precipitous wall, and finally passing through
