BISBEE, ARIZONA,
ALPINE VILLAGE
ATTRACTS MANY
BY VERA TAYLOR.

Imagine if you can, town lying IN
a canyon deep; its houses built tier on
tier DER the mountain side; the bottom
tire DER the mountain side; the bottom
beautiful as it is unique.
No slkyscrapers prevent cool breezes
reaching these modern cliff dwellers
nor hide from their view the beauty
of the mountain tops. A street car
comes slowly down the middle of the
one street, leaving just room on either
side for cars to pass.
AS one drives up the highway to the
Divide, 6O30 feet above sea level, a
wonderful panorama passes before the
eyes. On either side of the canyon,
homes, with their green yards and or
chards, stand one above the other,
seemingly inaccessible although closer
scrutiny reveals steep roads or paths
leading to them from the main paved
street below
A swimming pool on mountain top,
churches raising their stately towers
above modest homes mines in the dis
tapce. AS we gaze worder- eyed, imagi-
nation pictures it the old Roman Col
osseum reincarnated; bustling with
modern life and activity. Bisbee-Co.
chise county's wonder city.

shifting shapes Of the white clouds!
An occasional bird cali, and the
clustering of the creek as it comes
toward and past you in it's bed of
rocks such are the sounds you'll
hear And then at night you find
the chill of mountain air gives a
real thrill to the warmth of blan-
kets. You may watch the stars for
a few doing minutes through your
tent flaps or if thorough going
camper, have your cot right out
under the sky. You take one deep
breath, and perhaps wonder why you
never noticed before how many stars
there are and then wonder what
makes them suddenly so very bright
And you awake to new day, re-
freshed of soul and body.
REST" to most people means
change, so hike up or down to
the swimming pools, to natural
bridge, to Crystal cave, or perhaps
even to the falls will be your de-
sire. But first is breakfast, and
never go camping with friends who
count the number of your hot cakes,
or bacon, or coffee! If you are in
camp during the girls session you
have a full morning ahead of you
with tidying your tent, morning sing
and assembly, handicraft and games
bringing you to dinner time. If there
are Just a few perhaps you'll hike
a mile above camp with a sweater
pulled on over your bathing suit
and take plunge. Tingling all
over you jump out and try it again
and again until hollowness inside
warns you of the nearness of din
ner.
Then dinner and an afternoon siesta
while the sun is directly above you.
A magazine or book, a friend to talk
with, or possibly another hike pass
away the afternoon and bring sup
per and an evening campfire. Then
Girl Reserves sing "Follow the Trail
to the Open Air" or their Blue Sky
song which seems so true of Cave
Creek camp:
"The blue sky above me, the wind
sweeping DER me,
The lure of the outdoors for me
The beauty of starlight, the beauty
of moonlight
The beauty in life that I see"
And then to end the day for every
one with Taps:
DAY is done, gone the sun
From the sky, from the hill, from
the plain,
All is we'll, safely rest
God is nigh"
Such is day, Douglas people, in
this, our own mountain camp.

Y. ". c. A. CAMP
ATTRACTIVE TO
DOUGLAS GIRLS
BY f. MARJORIE WILLIAMS,
" wv r. "A .


Mountains, trees, a noisy little
creek and the sound of laughter
means "camp" to many people, But
! to some this stands for Camp Cave
Creek, owned and maintained by the
Douglas Y. w. c. A. for the com
munitys girls and families in this
beautiful canyon of Cochise county.
| AS you plan an ideal vacation of
a day or month, what do you in
clude? Beauty, for one thing, sure
| ly! AS you leave Rodeo behind the
portal of Cave creek stands in front
| of you-brilliant in color, fantastic
! in shape Coming closer out of the
odd shapes looming high and higher,
glow the red and gold and mauve
of the rocks of the cathedral Fur
ther up, the castle shows its tur-
rets to the seeing eye in riot of
gay color beyond imagination out
side Arizona. And then, too, from
the heat and glare of the desert, one
is driving into cool green woods,
vineyards along one side and a bab-
bling little brook seen ever and
anon.
AS one goes high and higher up
the canyon the aspen, oak, brick and
beech show their varying greens
against the background of the dark
ness of the pines and the Haunting
colors of Indian paint brush, asters
and cacti. Between the trees one
catches new views of those vast
rocks above, so awe-inspiring and
rich in their very baroness Past or
chards and vineyards and areas re-
stricted for recreation where rustic
tables and fire-places invite the
camper, and on up the six miles to
the "Y. W." camp. Through the
camp one walks among the tents,
to the dining cottage from which
one may see the climax of the sur
rounding beauty. Far above over
dark rocks falls silver cleaning
ribbon--the falls. Ambitious hikers
may go there from camp, but all are
free to enjoy the beauty from here.

this ideal vacation? To stretch out

COUNTY ABOUNDS
WITH SECLUDED
SCENIC SPOTS
BY j. b. GARLAND,
oil Fifteenth Street.

1t would be easy to write a book
about the wonders of Cochise county
for there would be space to tell of
the grotesque formations in the Won
derland of Rocks, the wonderful
scenic beauty to be observed along
the trail from Barfoot park to Monte
Vista, the evidence of early civiliza-
tion at the mouth of Rucker canyon
with its ruins alongside the road and
its row of great jumpers spanning
the canyon, or the majesty of the
cathedral which towers 1900 feet
above the bed of Cave creek, but
it is difficult to select one spot from
among the many points of interest,
more worthy of notice than the
others. There is, however, one place
which combines historic interest, .ro-
nance, beauty of nature, Spanish
legend, evidence of prehistoric oc-
cupancy, and ease of access. This is
Skeleton canyon in the Peloncillo
moQntains.
The traveller who journeys from the
east along the borderland highway
enters Arizona and Cochise county a
few miles from Apache, and from
this little village it is but a few
easy miles to the mouth of Skeleton
canyon, and the scene of the sur
render of the Indian chieftain Geron-
imo. Much has been written con-
cerning this spot and the capitula-
tion of the Indians which occurred
here but there is nothing to mark
the place or call to the attention of
10 axrfo ra1s 40 FOR of
Cured the last act in one of the most
thrilling dramas of the southwest.
AS late as 1907 there were signs
of an Indian encampment below the
mouth of the canyon and relics could
be found, but the traveller must seek
some resident of the vicinity to show
him the points of interest. If he is
fortunate enough to meet some one
who is familiar with the history and
legend of this section, he may be
told of the cattleman who lived here
in days gone by and who swore no
one should ever settle above or be-
low him on the canyon and perhaps
may hear of the cowboy who came
accounting of the cattleman's daugh-
ter with the firm. intention of asking
her to marry him, although he had
never seen the object of his affec-
tions.
Going up the canyon one comes
to the ranger station. One of the
forest rangers who occupied this place
used to explain it's location by say
ing that the officer who located the
site went up the canyon as far as
he dared to go on account of the
reputation of the inhabitants who
lived in that vicinity in the early
days of the forest service. and there
pitched his camp. This same ranger

CAMP COMMISSARY
SHOULD DEPEND ON
LOCATION AND TIME

What you take along to eat will
depend upon where you are gong and
how long you plan to be away. If
there is camp commissary where you
intend to pitch your tent, it is unwise
to carry any great amount of food
stuffs from home. But if you're really
going to rough it, here are some
suggestions:
1. A side of bacon, or several pound
cartons, ready sliced. Bacon has a
dozen uses in camp. Not only is it
most appetizing in itself, sizzling hot,
or cold and crisp for a monday snack,
but it furnishes grease in which other
things may be cooked.
2. A supply of bread in oiled paper
wrappers. If carried in a tin bread
Even when, stale it will make splendid
toast.
8. A small sack of flour for camp
flapjaeks; to dip things in for frying,
perhaps for batch of camp biscuits
A. Baking powder, baking soda,
sugar, salt, pepper.
5. Potatoes; baked, boiled or fried,
they taste mighty good In camp.
6. A half dozen cans of condensed
milk for your coffee or tea, and for
flapjacks, biscuits, gravy, etc.
z. A pound of coffee in vacuum
tin, or a quarter pound of tea,. or both.
g. Dried beef in glass; glass jars
of jelly, marmalade and other fancy
spreads.
8. Butter in pasteboard cartons.
wrapped in quarters, so it will not be
messy, even if it melts.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-07-01

pointed out to the writer a pre-
historic road on the north side of
the canyon This road must have
been very old for large oak trees
were growing on it but the grade
was even and the engineering good.
He also told of a lost mine which
the Spaniards formerly worked some
where in, the near vicinity.
The canyon is the scene of part of
the action in one of Zane Grey's
popular novels and one can easily
visualize the wild ride of the cow
boy chauffeur as he speeds down the
steep roads in his effort to reach
Douglas and the border.
While Skeleton canyon has not the
scenic attractions of some of the
larger canyons, it has. a rugged
beauty all it's own and there are nu-
merous spots therein to picnic and
commune with nature. Water is
rather scarce but may be obtained
at the ranch near, the canyons mouth
or at the ranger station. The lime
light has never been thrown on the
attractions of this canyon and few
people take their outings there so
that one who enjoys nature away
from the popular resorts will find
there a spot unspoiled by overcrowd-
ing or unsightly camps.
The road leading up the canyon
continues over the mountains into
the Animas valley where one may
see the great Indian dam on the Ami
mas and get a glimpse of country
which is still very much like the old
frontier.
