M.—arrive at Yuma second morning at 8:30 A. M.; third class, at 4:30 P. M.—arrive at Yuma third morning at 8:30 A. M.
Fare from San Francisco to Yuma: first class, $45; third class, $34.
Yuma to Ehrenburg: cabin, $15; deck, $10. Ehrenburg to Prescott, $33.
Through tickets are not issued by this route.
A daily stage connection is made from Yuma via Phœnix, by which route through tickets are sold from San Francisco to Prescott, at first class rates, $117; third class being $106.
