levels will be extended into the zone
where the high grade yield is being

on the topic Of road building through
Arizona on the east and west route
and strongly advocates construction
OF the transcontinental highway O,
which he is an ardent supporter
Excerpts from the letter contains
the following important informa-
ton:
The subject OF properly plating
the touring routes OF Arizona is OF
such vast importance to the com.
monwealth that il should be done in
systematic manner by competent
men so as to create reference
work of value. Some two months
ago had occasion TO write to the
state emphasizing the necessity of
calling, in broad way, the atten-
ton to tourists to the many wonder
full scenic and historic attractions of
Arizona. My plan is to prepare a
book to show by fine haIftonc illus
trations a good selection of scenic
spots and Indian life and then ac-
company this book with a route man
OF the state on which should be
marked the location OF these attrac-
tons. such as the Grand Canyon.
the Petrihed Forest. Hopi Villages.
Painted Desert, Coconino Forest.
Cave Dwellings and many other in

New Mexico is closely tied to Ari-
iona in the sense OF being interested
in this kind OF work, and besides. is
really the gateway to Arizona from

really make il most desirable for
the two states to join in financing a
work of this character, which would
cover both states We shall be glad
to cooperate with you and your as
