patch from Captain Bledsoe relative to
the proposed new road, located by him
to South Mountain and Silver City,
Upon his return to Silver City, Captain
Bledsoe informed the Avalanche that
the distance from Camp McDermit to
the Three Forks of the Owyhee is fifty
five mlfes, and from the Forks to South
Mountain, twenty one miles by odo-
meter measurement, making the entire
distance by the new route seventy-six
miles, rsixty miles less than by the
present travelled route from Winnie
mucca to>South Mountain, and thirty
five miles less to Silver City.
The citizens of those towns are TAX
ing lively interest in the matter, and
at public meeting held at South
Mountain last Saturday, a committee
was appointed to solicit subscriptions
to aid the enterprise. The Avalanche
says: The estimated cost of con-
structing q frst-class road over the
new route is from $4,000 to SIS, 900,
and Capt. Bledsoe relies on subscrip-
tons from Winnemucca, South Mount
ain, Silver City and Boise City
to aid him in building it, be-
lieviDg that the vast advan-
tages to be derived therefrom will JUS
tify liberal donations from mining COM
panies, business men and others inter
I ested. 1t will lessen the distance to
such an extent that there will be only
one nights staging between Silver City
and the railroad. In freighting it will
make four days difference for the round
trip. and a corresponding reduction in
the price.
