Via Bisbee, Tombstone, Benson and Vail. Good graded gravel highway to Benson,

way, 30 miles poor gravel and dirt. . „ , ...... . „ a
Leaving Douglas the route traverses the Sulphur Springs valley, then enters
mountainous region and crosses the Continental Divide near Bisbee. Easy grades
prevail thru the mountains. Crossing immense plateaus and several smaller ranges we
reach Benson and traverse a hilly grazing and mesa country to Vail. From \ ail a nat
and undeveloped country is followed to Tucson. , _. .
Owing to construction work on the new highway between Douglas and Bisbee tne
Blue Book car was unable to cover same and the route matter here given goes via tne
old road. Tourists should make local inquiries at Douglas to secure proper running
direction to Bisbee.
