TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 27-Leaving
Bisbee at 1890 today, the Ell PasO
pathfinders reached Tucson to-
night at 10 o'clock. w. J. Rand broke a
spring in the streets of Tombstone, after
having it repaired at Bisbee, so the party

and a quarter this afternoon, repairing
it again.
Encounter Bad Roads.
Between Tombstone and Tucson some
very bad roads were encountered, as a
result of recent rains Road gangs are
at work in many places putting the
road in shape, but the going was not
good for the pathfinders. Our party
passed a Tucson automobile SO miles
out of Tucson, broken down in a sandy
wash but 1t had already summoned
aid from Tucson, SO we passed on.
The country is beautiful between
Tombstone and Tucson and Is miles OF
the new state highway winds like
corkscreW IN and out among the santa
Rita mountains. We had to make slow
time over it tonight as we hit it after
dark and the curves are numerous and
dangerous.
Beautiful Trip Through Canyon.
The trip between Bisbee and Tomb
stone. through Tombstone canyon and
over The Pass" was a beautiful one
Trees line the road on each side, as II
winds through the canyon, and dozens
of squirrels ran across the road be-
fore our cars. Bisbee has men at work
on this part of the road making re-
pairs, and the county commissioners
are working the road towards Tue
son from Tombstone
In the small section of Santa Cruz
county which the racing cars will have
to cover, no work has been done and
in fact, very little is needed. but there
Is much work needed to make fast
driving possible in Pima county from
the Pima county line to Vail, % niles
Tucson &
over the Pima line, near the Border
of Santa Cruz county, is a terribly
bad spot and there are some sand /
washes that are deep and almost i'm
