Additional Details:
This twenty horse team train of wagons is one of the ways of conquering the desert where the railroads do not run. The mines of Arizona are rich and productive, and in keeping with its topography. In altitude Arizona ranges from below sea level on the south to 13,000 feet above. It has mountainous ranges rich in mineral, pine parks of magnificent timber, rich valleys producing fruits and grains, open tracts too arid for agriculture but valuable for grazing, towering mountains, lava beds, tremendous chasms, as the Grand Canyon, and genuine deserts. Truly a wonderful region!
