There has been general improve
ment in road conditions over the
county during the last two weeks as
all the crews are doing good work

TEN. Unless travellers want to run
in low for two miles they should wait
until after the next rain before using
the new road into Buena. from the
Charleston bridge. That route from
Tombstone to two miles beyond the
, bridge. is in good shape but soft
where the new work is going on.
The Gleeson- Tombstone road is in
fine shape and the road to Turner
is good. From here to Benson 1t is
good and from here to where the
state highway is building on the
Tombstone Bisbee drive there are no
rocks and no chance for mud. In
about week the highway will be
ready for opening to where the old
road is crossed right at the present
road camp. but 1t will have to await
another good rain and when that
comes / 43 miles of caliche surfaced
road will be thrown open. When
the road camp is moved again 1t will
be moved to the site of the big
bridge TO be constructed about 23OO
feet from the Schuster house. This
change will be made as soon as prac-
ticable on account OF the water sup
ply which at present is a costly piece
OF business. but when the change is
made Huachuca water will be avail
able by the state laying a pipe hne
of about 1900 feet and that will save
the use of truck that is now en-
pioyed constantly in hauling water
