Roads Leading from SpringerViile'

EDITOR Misunderstanding the interest you feel in the progress and development of our county, write you a short communication to lei the rest of the county know what we have done and are doing in that direction in this locality. We have recently completed a wagon road running nearly south from our post office to the top of the mountain on the east side of the old road in Water Canyon. This is one of the most useful roads, for all purposes, to the farming, cattle and sheep in terests ever constructed in this end of the county. We can now go by a fairly easy grade to the top of the mountain, and once on top there is q comparatively good road to the lake and other points on Black river. This also gives MT. Nelson good road to his ranch, and opens up to attle and sheep men a way to get salt out for their stock, haul their wool and other supplies, and to drive stock over. We expect, also, to see considerable farming done on Black river in the near fu- ture, as it is now possible to take a thresher there and to haul their pro- duce out oyer a comparatively good mountain road. Residents of St. Johns and other portions of our county, who may desire to take an occasional outing, can do so now with some comfort, as this makes good road from St. Johns to ex- cellent hunting and fishing.
 Our valley looks beautiful, and is as green as a field of alfalfa. Grass is abundant. The grain crop, in my judgment, will not be over half what it would have been had we had sufficient water for irrigating pur poses in the spring and early sum- mer, We trust this will be to agreat extent remedied in the near future, as we have two storage resei voirs complete, and others in procress of construction, and in a year or so we will raise wheat, oats, barley, corn and beans in a6undance. AL falfa does we'll with us also.
 We have more roads to keep up than any other road district in Apache county, as the following will show: One leading east via Coyote to the New Mexico line, 15 miles; one southeast toward Nutri- oso, 10 miles; one south via Nel- sons ranch, toward Black river, 10 miles; one north and west toward St. Johns and the Twenty-four Cat tie Co.'s ranch and Concho, twenty miles; one toward Fort Apache from 40 to 50 miles; one to Lee Valley, 12 miles, also 6 or s miles of county road in the valley, mak- ing total of 113 miles, beside s or 10 bridges to keep in repair. We collect all road taxes due in labor, and find that it IS not sufficient to keep the roads in good repair, as many of them require work twice a year, especially when the rains fall as they have this season.
 Our people generally, stock men, farmers, merchants and mechanics, look more cheerful and are in bet ter spirits than for three or four years past, owing to the bountiful rains which have fallen this year.
