UNSURVEYED ROADS
The Necessity for Proper Grades
and Surfaces.

In his ninth annual report the COM
missioner OF public roads of New Jer.
sey says:
The United States government ex-
perts say on the subject of unsurveyed
roads:
Many roads Of this country were orig
inally laid out without any attention to
general topography. regardless OF grades
OF direction. Most OF them remain today
where they were originally located and
where untold labor. expense and energy
have been wasted In trying TO haul over
them. II Is a great error to continue to
follow these primitive paths with public
highways. The proper thing to do is to
call In good engineer and have the loca-
ton so changed as TO throw the roads
around the ends or along the sides OF the
steep hills and ridges instead Of continu-
ing to go over them.
The question Is, Are we following the
primitive pathsT" IL we have not
changed them we are certainly doing
so.
To illustrate the enormous extra cost
Of hauling over such unsklllfully placed
roads and to get an idea Of the obstruc-
tion that these old highways place In
the way Of progress and prosperity one
may observe the accompanying cut
showing the consequences Of the hills
Of these unsurveyed roads.
1t will be seen that what one horse
can pull ON a level requires two horses
to draw when hill rising two feet to n
hundred is reached, requires three horses
to draw when hill rising four feet to
a hundred is reached, four horses when
rise Of six feet TO hundred Is en-
countered and requires six horses to
draw when a hill rising ten feet to a
hundred stands In the road. The enor-
nous excess cost of hauling on these
roads over roads on q level is therefore
apparent. The legal rate In many sec.
tions is 3 TO 4 per cent maximum, be
yond which grade is not allowed to
so. Grades Of even this steepness are
the exception, roads being kept TO OF
~ per cent rs far as possible. BY the
most ordinary surveying the roads OF
any section outside of mountain dis.
tricts can be brought TO reasonable
grades. The government and all other
authorities urge sections using these
primitive paths" to correct them by
proper surveying.
General Roy Stone Of the government
service said several years ago Of what
he called the "hill tax" "The people
have paid this tax for hundred years
and yet they wonder why they are
poor" 1t is apparent that It is the duty
Of the thinking people OF this section tC
bring about a revolution In the systems
Of public highways Of the section here
abouts without which we cannot expect

DEATH OF w. G. LYONS.
Another White Pine Pioneer Has
Passed Away.

William G. Lyons, a native of
Pennsylvania, aged 70 years, died
Wednesday of last week at Stone S
Sanitarium in Phoenix, Arizona,
where he had gone in quest of
health.
The deceased was one of the
pioneers of Nevada and especially
of White Pine county, having been
prominently identified with the min
ing industry in this section since
the early days of Mineral City i'll
the JOS. Was one of the original
locators of the Monitor mine at Tay-
lor, which was sold to the New
Eberhardt Co. of London, England.
He was also one of the locators of
the Chairman mine here. He came
to California from his eastern home
during the '4o excitement and fol-
lowed placer mining there for a
number years, moving to Virginia
City during the palmy Comstock
days, from which place he came to
White Pine in so.
Up to two years ago the deceased
had always enjoyed the best of good
health, but the early vicissitudes of
pioneer life began to tell upon him
and, although he sought restoration
in the climate of California and
Arizona, it was of no avail.
William G. Lyons was one of the
most kind-hearted and generous of
bachelors, and while his presence
will be greatly missed from among
us, still his many kind deeds and
acts of benevolence shall live for
ever after in the minds of scores he
has be-friended.
He leaves but two living relatives
two sisters, who reside in Kansas,
where the remains were shipped for
burial.

WHITE PINE COPPER COMPANY

Work on Conc entration Plant
Begun. contrac is for Electric
Power Let.
AT the White Pine Copper Com
pany's Ruth group of mines every
thing represents hive of industry.
The lumber necessary for the build.
ing of experimental concentration
plant, with which the adaptibility
of the Ruth ore to that treatment,
is all on the ground, and John B.
Fleming, the engineer in charge of
the construction, has already began
work upon the building. During a
recent visit to Salt Lake City all the
necessary machinery for the plant
was contracted for by Mr.. Fleming,
and it will all be on the ground in
the next few weeks, or as early as
required.
The plant, which is situated at
the mine, will have its machinery
driven by electricity generated at
the power plant in Ely and trans
mitted to the mine. Electrician
Peacocke of the Chairman Mining
& Electric Co., has been given the
contract to supply the new plant
with the necessary electrical appar-
atus, and a contract has also been
let for the poles required to string
the electric wires on from the Chain
man to the Ruth. Alex. Baird is
to supply the latter material.
1t is the intention Of those in
charge of the construction to rush
the completion of the concentration
plant right through, so that early
in August, or perhaps before, every
thing will be in running order.
Developments in the mine con-
tinue very favorable, and whenever
there is room for an additional
hand more men are put on the pay
roll. The working force now num-
bers forty-five.
