Mining activity out toward the Colorado is rapidly increasing. The advances being made in transpor- tation service for that section are causing much enlivening of busi- ness in all lines. The traction en- zine line of H. J. Beemer's com pany is assured and the railroad has long been certainty, and the recent floods make it much more of a certainty. The Beemer camp is now on Granite wash, and between forty and fifty men are now at work grading the road The same com pany has a camp of about twenty men at it's camp near Quartzsite. The grading and strengthening of the roads that these people are do- ing will help the public very mate rially, aside from giving people cheaper transportation to that sec tion, as it will give good road for general use.-Martinez Herald.
