In the distance the San Francisco Peaks can be seen and when the grandeur of the mountain scenery becomes almost too impress i've there is the valley below to lend it's quiet charm. But even these drives about Jerome beautiful as they are. do not compare with the glories oi the trip from the Junction to the camp. The narrow gauge railroad clings to the mountain side with only space enough to permit its being. It's tiny engine puffs and pants on it's way as if its task was almost too great. And that feeling that 1t might go over the cliff was the thought en- tertained by an Englishman wno d few years ago visited Jerome. He was panic stricken throughout the twenty eight mile journey. His fear was such q real thing that even upon arrival at First View it was uppermost in his mind His terror petrified him. He arrived in Jerome with thanks giving in his heart and made a vow. which he kept. that he would walk pack to the Junction.
