1.-The money spent year by year in
America upon roads is sufficient to
make good roads without additional
taxation and without borrowing, if
only it were well spent. As the case
now is, the road fund is spent by men
who know nothing of roadbuilding
upon work which is often worse than
worthless. When the work is good it
is SO Ill planned that it quickly per-
ishes. When it does not perish it is
so isolated that it is of little use.

The building of the road was mat

days lacked considerable of being "a

Road Company sold their lands to the

KENNEL SHELTER TO BUY
SOUTHERN OREGON ORE
Will Pay Good Price for Siliceous
Ores for Flux for Their
Smel ter.

A. C. Hoofer, superintendent of the
Mt. Pitt mine ON Jump. off Joe, was
in Grants Pass Monday. Mr.. Hoofer
stated that development work was
proceeding very satisfactorily at the
the Mt Pitt. In connection with this
work considerable ore is being taken
out. The low grade is pot on the
dump, but the high grade is shipped
to the Tacoma smelter. A car load Of
ore, carrying very high values was
started Monday from Three Pines,
which is the shipping point for the
mine, to Tacoma It is expected to
ship about car load month this
Winter.
It is the plan of the Mt. Pitt Com
plny to equip their mine with com
pressor and power drills within the
next month. Water power will be
used, there being 60 II. p. now de-
veloped at the mine, heretofore used
to operate two-tub arrastre and
for other purposes. Early IN the
spring the mine will be equipped
with 10 stamp mill. The Mt. Pitt
is one Cf the most promising mines in
Southern Oregon and has every likeli-
hood of becoming big gold producer.
This is one of the few mines in
Southern Oregon that is operated by
Portland men. The capital though,
for equipping the mine will mostly
como from the East, where it has
been arranged for Supt Hoofer
will leave next week for Chicago to
complete the details of this financial
matter
