covered with the cOarsest rock to a
center of the road sloping off on the
sides This is rolled down with a 10
ton roller 1t represents so per cent of
the product of the crusher. over this
is put a layer of the dust and screen
ings to fill in the voids between the
big pieces over all is put a layer of
the number two rock and this in turn
is again filled with screenings and roll
ed in thoroughly.
The finishing coat is one half inch
of the screenings or binder cap which
is copiously wet and rolled.
The crusher will be in operation
probably by Saturday SO that the work
of laying the rock will proceed rapidly
next week.
This will be pushed as fast" says
Mr. Dodge, las the rock can be crush
ed. The crusher will probably be able
to crush from so to 100 yards a day.
Roughly estimated, it takes about 1000
yards Of loosely crushed rock to
mile of road In that case the road
ought to be finished throughout the
whole two miles before Christmas"
James w Abbott, who has general
charge of this work, is the special
Of into Vin vfY1
the Rocky mountain division. He will
be here off and on during the progress
of the work. The work now is under
direct charge of j. H. Dodge. the road
expert, who will supervise on the
ground the construction Of the road.
He will be assisted by H. w. Garfield,
assistant road expert, and J. B. Groat,
the expert rock crusher operator.
Besides these men, who are furnish
ed by the government, there will be
others who will be paid by the county
and the people west Of town who are
pushing the road through. For haul
ing the rock to the crusher and the
crushed rock to the roadway probably
seven men will be required with five
extra at the crusher, and three at the
road to spread the rock and sprinkle
the road. The water for this purpose
will probably be hauled from an ar
tesian we'll near at hand.
To Extend the Road.
A project is now on foot to extend
the road beyond the Blalock farm. The
people living beyond that place and
towards Whitman station intend to
raise a subscription to defray the ex-
penses of continuing the road out to
the Mill creek bridge.
Farmers Will Contribute.
The Statesman this morning receiv-
ed the following letter from Herbert
Macarthur, manager of the Blalock
Fruit company, with a request that it
be printed to correct an erroneous
statement which had been published:

company full credit for building a mile

a free man, a niue owner. with every
prospect Of becoming millionaire
much, In brief, Is the transition that
fate has brought In the fortunes of
Johu Davis, known as "Diamondfleld

Herald. Riches have come to him
as the fairylike climax to life story
as picturesque, as dramatic aud
spectacular, as any In the romantic
history of the far west.
Newsboy, jewel hunter, border
fighter and miner, Jack Davis has
had a career that might furnish
material for dozen dime novels. 1t
has been little more than a year since
this man was released from the Idaho
penitentiary, by Grace of Governor
Hunt; today he is joint owner with
two others of rich gold mine In
Nevada, mine that has already dis.
closed fourteen feet ledge of $50
rock.
Mining men from Goldfleld, the
new camp near Tonopah, declare that
Davis and his partners will be mill.
ionaires before two years more have
rolled away. Davis has been mining
ever since he was snatched from the
shadow Of the scsffold. when death
was so near that he could almost feel
the tightening Of the moose about bis
neck. He and his associates are now
owners of the Daisy group Of mines.
In one of which the strike referred to
was made.
"Diamondfield Jack" Davis was
one OF the leading actors In the bitter
range war of 1869, aud, so far as
popular interest was concerned, he
held the center OF the stage until
December, 1902, when he was re-
leased from the Idaho state prison.
Davis was In the employ of the

In the spring of '9G two sheep

When the last legal resource had
been exhausted aud when 1t seemed

In restoring "Jack" Davis to free
