Valley poised for railroad boom to Florence and Benson
A San Pedro valley correspondent notes rapid settlement from Benson to the Gila with over fifty ranches taken up in spring and summer. The Arizona Central railroad is envisioned to run through our valley to Florence, along the Gila to the river mouth, then up the San Pedro to Benson, unlocking 250 miles of prime farming country plus grazing mining districts. The route promises access to southeastern Territory markets and northwestern Mexico, linking with major western cities. Local support argues the trunk lines must seize this central, productive region and that Phoenix rail access would open broader markets.
