engineer who has made the following report: Rock work. 675 yards. at S2.50 per yard. $1.670.50; dirt,5 9S9 yards at soc per yard. $2. .99450; bridging Mescal gulch, $500: total cost, $5.1S2.00 AccOrd- ing to the survey made by R. c. Pow CTS, the road would leave Walnut gulch at the Walker residence, across the wash from the Nichols well, wind around south at a grade not to exceed 10 per cent at the steepest place, ter minating at the Deca tur mine, where it would connect with the road made across the Brookshire claims. recently. by the Trtadwell company. The same company would then continue the road through the Cliff group of claims and strike the Equator road al Equator hill. F. D. Treadwell, who is taking the lead in the matter of connecting our town with all the properties south of here. thinks the cost as estimated by Mr Powers. can ba reduced by asking for bids from contractors, and letting the work to the lowest competent bid der. All of the mining companies whose properties would be reached hy the new road would willingly contrib ute towards the expense of putting in the road. The county would be invited to donate a sum of money towards the work, also. The town of Jerome would have q chance to swell the fund.
