THE MUCH NEEDED
MOUNTAIN ROAD

The business men and other heavy
taxpayers of Durango are entering
into the spirit of the wagon road en-
terprise for Oro Fino. The situa-
tion is one so simple that 1t is easy
of comprehension. The only mine in
the county which is producing is oper-
ating under serious handicap for
lack of ordinary means of egress and
ingress. The Neglected mine is pay
ing twelve dollars per ton for all ore
shipped out and the same amount 70.
all supplies sent in. This confines
the management to the shipment Of
only the high grade ores and at pres
there is an average of three tons per
day. Could the ore be wagoned out
the cost would be reduced at least one
half and the rate for freight in could
be materially reduced. Under these
more favorable conditions the owners
could afford to send out some of the
ores which are now held at the mine,
and the increase of the pay roll would
be greater than the amount of reduc-
ton of freights now paid. or in other
words fully as much money would be
paid for the transportation of a great.
er quantity of ore and the pay roll
would be enlarged.
The matter is freely discussed by
many of the people who are familiar
with such subjects. and among these
the opinion prevails that the county
commissioners should employ some
competent person to go over the route
and make an estimate of the work ne
cessary to scure good road and as
certain the probable cost. When
this is done the commissioners will
have a better idea of what the county
will be able to do in the matter. That
the road should be put in shape as
early as possible is the universal de-
sire of all who are interested in the
prosperity of Durango and La Plata
county
From what can be gathered from
those who have been over the road
it may be inferred that 1t will cost
from two to three thousand dollars
to place the road in condition that
will enable the shippers OF ore to em-
ploy three and four ton wagons.
Much depends upon the success Of
mining III tne La ilata 0lSurlct. ana
as the situation in the Oro Fino sec
ton to-day seems to warrant the ex
penditure of sufficient funds to give
the ore shippers good roads. there
will be no opposition by the tax-pay-
ers to any reasonable policy which the
commissioners may pursue in the
matter The appropriation of small
amount of money which will not ac-
complish the work will be waste.
Make the road one which heavy teams
can travel with good loads and the
county will be reimbursed by the pro-
sress of mining within a very short
time There should be no half-heart-
ed undertaking.
There will be vast sums of money
expended in development in the La
Plata district this season and there
is a fair prospect of other gold pro-
ducers being developed.
Following is a complete list of the
signers of the petition asking for the
road. up to | o'clock today:
