 On the Road in Bradshaws, Nov. 1S.-(Special correspondence Of The Republican, .)-An extended trip to the Gladiator and Crowned King opens the way to a few side. lines that col leotively will furnish material for a half column prior 10 devoting time to a general mining letter. The fieId is wide enough to gather the grist and then not cover the whole. Given time the prese ltation of mining news will come in better shape when it does appear. In truth a hurried visit to a mining district is not susceptible of being fully and satisfactorily treated
 While there are several excellent roads in unexpected places much Of the rocky road in travel is encounter ed on the run to Gladiator, thirty five miles from Prescott, and Crowned King, the forty mile terminal of Brid- wells stage line. Few who came over to Gladiator on Monday will venture over the route again, at least not until patches of road are made easier to cover, or a balloon line is established. The movement of freighters over the last ten miles to Crowned King has much to do with the condition of the one avenue out of the biggest camp in the Bradshaws, wherein the Crowned King is loca ted. The connection between the Gladia- tor and Crowned King is made by a two and a half mile trip of which oven one and a half miles is a trail over high mountains. To avoid this four mile stretch can be made by wagon road.
 In coming down the trail the bunk house of the Crowned King is first encountered, bhen the blacksmith and carpenter shop, hoist, mouth of the biggest tunnel, boarding house for miners and ore bin, where the wag- ons load for the mill, mile below Then comes 'eWhiskey Row. the five saloons, two hundred yards apart, two restaurants, barber shop and two laundries passed before reachi g the company store and mill boarding house and mill. This completes the trip, the last end being a wagon road route of one mile.
