DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP.
Warren. Ariz.. August 20.-When the
Sd Regiment. o. NJ. D. C, arrives here
it will find fully completed and
strictly up-to-date military camp in
readiness for it's occupancy. After its
tents have been set up and its equip
ment stored away, the regiment will be
better fixed" than it has been at any
of it's encampments.
The definite statement has been made
that upon the arrival of the Sd Regi-
ment here in Warren 1t will take over
the new camp of the 22d Infantry
(regulars), which probably will return
to Douglas. This will mean that the
infantrymen from the District will
escape the hard work through which
the men of the Field Hospital and
Signal Corps units have gone and
which probably will be encountered by
those of Battery b.
During the past two weeks large de-
tachments from the 22d have been at
work on the new camp which the regi-
ment now occupies. All of the regulars
have been moved from Warren proper
and now are quartered in their new
location.
Combination Kitchen Built.
A large combination kitchen and
mess hall has been built for each of
the companies, roads have been made
| through the camp, bitches have been
dug and everything about the camp
made to conform with strict military
| requirements. The mess halls have
been built from the same plans used
by the Signal Corps and Field Hos
pital units. They measure twenty by
sixty-four feet, are covered with tar
paper and inclosed with wire screen.
Water pipes have been laid throughout
the camp, hydrants being provided at
| the kitchens and at other convenient
locations.
Accommodations for two battalions
have been provided at the new camp.
The Sd Battalion of the 22d, which is
encamped at Don Luis. about two miles
southwest of here, now is engaged in
building a mess hall and other semi
permanent camp structures for its use.
When the Sd Regiment. o. NJ. D. c..
arrives here one of it's battalions will
| be stationed at the Don Luis camp.
| The new location of the camp of the
| ed is slightly less than a mile from
| the place where the Signal Corps, Field
Hospital and Battery B of the o. NJ. D.
c. are camped. To get there one passes
| through Black gap, a narrow pass be-
| tween two hills about 500 feet in
| height. The camp is situated close up
| to the foot of the mountain, which
| fanks it on the north. About four and
| three-quarters miles south of it, across
| a fat, is the Mexican line.
| From the camp one can look down
| on Naco, about six miles on an air line
to the southwest and about 500 feet
lower in elevation. The central portion
| of the camp has an elevation of about
| 5000 feet above sea level.
"Streets" Run North and South.
| The streets" in the new camp of the
22d extend from a north to south di-
rection. The upper end of them is
| 'under the mountainside" as natives
| hereabouts express it. Then come the
| mess halls, and a short distance below
! them the tents of the officers. To the
south of the latter and on the oppo-
site side of a public road which passes
| through the camp are regimental head
quarters, the guard tent. the officers
| club tent and others.
| The Warren Country Club is few
| hundred feet south of the camp. The
| clubhouse is a frame structure some
what resembling that of the Washing
| ton Country Club, in Virginia, just out
| side Of Washington. At the east side
of it are several tennis courts, and en-
| circling it on the south is a crescent
| shaped golf course, one that is almost
entirely devoid of grass and which has
| for it's only vegetation bear grass, cac-
tus and mesquite.
Water pumped from the mines at
| Bisbee is brought down in a flume to
| within a short distance of the country
| club grounds, where it runs into an
| open ditch This passes through the
club property furnishing two water
| hazards for the golf course, and then
runs southwark to the Warren ranch"
AS the result of this irrigation a few
| trees have grown near the clubhouse.
With the exception of the clubhouse,
there are no buildings near the camp.
About a mile or so to the east there is
| a slaughter house. and there is another
| about the same distance west of the
camp.
Oficers and men of the Sd Regiment
desirous Of fixing in their minds the
| exact location of the camp which they
| will occupy when they arrive here VIII
| have no difficulty If they examine the
map of the United States geological
| survey showing this section of the
| country The map bears the following
| designation: Arizona (Cochise coun-
| ty), Bisbee quadrangle.
Town of Warren Not on Map.
| Just about in the center of the map
will be found Black gap. Just below
these words are the figures $3.50" the
contour lines at this point indica ating
| a pointed hill. Just under these figures
| and on the line of the 5000" contour
| interval is the spot where the camp is
| located About two and quarter
| miles due west of it is Don Luis. War
