stretch is built from a maintainance standpoint-built to stay and to stay at minimum cost to the taxpayers.
 On the left you pass the old dump of the Bisbee Extension mine. A few years ago a dozen houses, d mill and a hoist stood on the ground. Wagons freighted to it. One lonely, pioneer, single-oylinder motor car oc- casionally labored to it from Bisbee or Tombstone. The houses are gone -the camp is deserted. But while you look at it, two-ton truck, load ed to capacity with mine supplies, passes at rate of 15 miles an hour.
 See Six Mountain Ranges
 Ahead You see a level. long high way over mesa lands. You increase speed; capacity speed is almost safe on this kind of highway. Out to the south and west is unfolding vista of valley and mountain scenery such as can be seen in few other spots in the southwest. On a low skyline, far across the deep valley of the San ISuIOy Cdn De 66eH lHelT Dlut- hay distance six separate and dis tinct mountain ranges, some in Mex ico and others in Arizona. The sun is sinking in the west.
 They tell of the old times at the Bisbee Extension when you speak to the pioneer of the panorama below you and the sunset behind the six mountain ranges. Even the old mud diggers, the hard, seasoned, pioneer miners and muckers who worked in the Extension shaft would sit at eve ming on their mine dump, puffing aged pipes and looking silently out to the west. They were worshipping the shrine which called them out west and kept them there. They were dreaming.
 But they did not dream of the highways over which they pass to- day toward Tombstone or Bisbee. They dreamed of the riches Of the west, of the freedom of the west, of the great hills and canyons of the west If you had told them that in the year 1919 Tombstone would be ] building a new hotel and laying out a site for a tourists camping ground, they would have laughed.
 But that's what they will tell you in Tombstone today. The plans for the new hotel are practically ready and construction will begin soon. i Think of that-a Tombstone whose boom days are gone with a new and modern hotel-a Tombstone where no new business block has been erected in these many years past, with one of the best hotels in the 1 statel
 The camping ground site has been selected at the western outskirts of the pioneer city, where the highway leads out over the Borderland route to Fairbanks and Tcson or Benson and Tucson. It is a broad expanse parties. Pipe lines will be run on to it where drinking water will be supplied and baths will be erected.
 Purest Water in Country
 And the Commercial Club will fur nish the gas for lighting" laughingly advises the Tombstone business man. And the water. Many years ago the Tombstone business man was reading a government report on goat raising in Arizona. He was interested in goats then. He read in the goat report a beer report-the purest beer ever manufactured in the United States, said the report, was made from the waters of the Huachuca mountains.
 This is the water which will he piped to the camping ground. Gov ernment reports place it the purest water in the country. Were it not for transportation expenses it would have long since been commorclal.. d.
 The pioneers tell you this cc@y.nc- ingly.
