Two small bridges between Holbrook and Springerville are out, but will be repaired in few days; culverts are out on the road from Holbrook to Gallup, and two bridges are out on the road from Holbrook to Fort Apache, but these two are being rapidly repaired. From Holbrook to Williams and Seligman there is considerable mud, with roads otherwise in good condition, except for rough spots between Williams and Seligman. From Williams to Grand Canyon it is rough and mud dy, and from Flagstaff to Grand Canyon it is the same. Kingman to Needles (via Oatman) the roads are excellent, except as they may have been affected by rains since the 18th. Prescott to Ash Fork, good but heavy in places on account Of the rain. Prescott to Jerome is very good. including the detour around Dells.
