Bisbee daily review., 1921-05-01

the largest centers of population in | fair Cochise, imagine that the coun- ty begins and ends within the pre- cincts of these two communities. When these same folks think of vaca- tioning, their thoughts automatically fly to the Pacific coast and to other places far removed from their own region. How far wrong they are is disclosed by a survey of the situation and by investigation of the summer as well as all the year round-re sources of the subdivision.
 First in line for the benefit of the summer vacationist or the week-ender is the Huachuca Mountain region. Sticking their nose out of the desert in an impudent sort of manner, and extending north and south about 25 more, the Huachuca Mountains offer attractions to the man or woman that should be taken more advantage of than they are at the present time.
 On the east side of the Huachucas there are a number of canyons which are inviting to every, man wofhan and child in Bisbee and Douglas and the other arid and semi-arid communities of the country. First in order. be- ginning at the northern end of the range, comes Garden Canyon. Here the government has established it's water works for the Fort, which is named after the mountains and which Ia hnr Af Is the headquarters of the famous Tenth Cavalry Garden Canyon is ap- proximately 40 miles from Bisbee by way of Hereford South of Garden, and practically paralleling it, is Ram say.
 Located Years Ago
 Thirty-eight miles from Bisbee. with but couple of miles of bad road, is located this famous summer camp. It was located many years ago by w. J. Berner, who planted a con- siderable orchard and which has de- veloped into favorite vacation place for hundreds of people None of the canyons of the Huachucas are ex- ceedingly wide. They narrow consid- erably and each has a "box" at some place in its course. Ramsay has the most pronounced and most pictur- esque box" In seasons when the water is high, the "box" is exceed ingly difficult to get through. This years, however, the water being low, a party can go through the defile with little difficulty. At the Berner resort is a large number of cottages and these are occupied most of the sum- mer. A dancing pavilion is near by and constitutes a great attraction throughout the summer months.
 Carr Canyon, south of Ramsay, Is another of the very attractive spots of the Huachucas. An even better road runs into this canyon than into Ramsay. The distance is but a few miles shorter from the Warren Dis trict. This season there is very lit. tie, if any. water in the canyon. Wa. ter can be secured, however. from campers. In this canyon is to be found one of the reservoirs of the Huachuca Water Company. which supplies water for Tombstone and vi, cinity.
 In this canyon, also, is to be found the walnut nursery of c. R. Bieder- man. A closeup of this nursery and the methods in vogue there of graft ing the commercial bud on the wild specie Is worth a trip in itself c. R. Biederman is recognized authority on the culture and grating of wal nuts. He revolutionized walnut graft ing after years of experimenting in Carr Canyon. Above the nursery a beautiful canyon Is to be found. where tramping and sightseeing can be indulged in to an infinite degree.
 Roads Excellent
 In Miller Canyon, immediately south of Carr, is in some respects one of the most beaptiful spots in the Huachucas. It is about 35 miles from Bisbee, over an excellent road to the mouth of the canyon. Through the canyon, however, the road is far from good. In this connection. however, it might be mentioned that the board of supervisors has ordered the county ChoihOCi tO ASpoii thc loouS III hihci and Ramsay in time to take care of the summer travel into that region.
 Again is found one of the fountain heads of the water supply of Tomb stone in Miller Canyon. The water works is a veritable beauty spot. High canyon walls surround the scene on two sides and trails lead off in several directions. The creek in Mil Ter is dry this year but water for camping, purposes is easily obtainable.
