ROAD WILL BRING
MUCH TRADE TO PRESCOTT

Erom Thursdays Daily)
One OF the most important strips
OF highway in the county is now
undergoing rebuilding, that from
Turkey siding on the Bradshaw
Mountain railroad to Bumblec sta
ton. About three weeks time will
be required to complete the grading,
when the force will be moved far
ther to the south to repair the old
road leading into Black Canyon
Owing to the heavy grade and the
rock formation the purpose OF
County Road Superintendent Clark
is to make this strip accessible TO
light freight outfits for the present,
as thousands OF dollars would be
required to build line on the new
standard of grade as established.
One OF the inducements for re
building into the Black Canyon sec
ton is the activity going on IN
mining, while farming and stock
raising are likewise assuming consid-
cradle prominence.
With this old road reopened to
traffic. the commercial advantages 10

less than sixteen miles being the
outcome to the railroad as against

nix. Mining men and others OF the
Black Canyon country are very
much elated over again being PLACED
in communication with the railroad
and III making the markets readily
accessible to their wants.
