Benson Fourth of July Boosts Hub City Spirit and Roads
A Benson booster note anticipates a grand Fourth of July celebration and a large Tombstone Prospectors crowd. The piece calls for improved river auto roads to Pool and Redington, eventual river highway extension to Winkelman, and county support to start the project, envisioning a strong valley transport link. The article also highlights vanadium deposits across Arizona and directs readers to Bulletin No. 18 from the State Bureau of Mines for mineral details. It ends with a fundraising cue for a piano contest.
