The new method of working the earth
roads, recently referred to at length in
these notes, is being generally intro
duced and with the most remarkable
success. Wherever tried the plan is
most highly commended as being
cheap, eas.~ Of operation, most adapta-
BILE wherever the roads are made Of the
worst material and most effective In
every way In the reconstruction Of
what has been bad road into what all
admit to be good one. Many cities
and towns are adopting the plan for
the care Of all unpaved streets and are
working wonders. The writer's expert
ence with this method of caring for the
earth roads is such that we cannot too
strongly urge upon township and mu-
nicipal officials the benefit to be derived
from Its adoption. The poll taxes Of
the average township are sufficient in
amount year by year to fully cover the
cost Of the care of the highways by this
plan. leaving all the regular taxes lev
led and collected to be applied to the
building OF bridges and culverts and
such heavy cutting and filing as the
roads Of, the city or township may re-
quire. We can easily see that the rate
Of taxation may be materially reduced
in the near future, and we still have a
type of earth roads Of such excellence
as was never thought to be possible.

must plant all over again Just because
he had not thought 1t worth while to
know for sure that bis seed corn would

SIN ,,len 8. Co.'S Market Letter

The cotton market closed today a shade
under last night. There were a few big
switches made. but in the main it was a
little fellows market During the morn
ing a numberao of little shorts covered. and
during the latter part of the session a
number of little longs liquidated. There
was not much in the market that made 1t
worthy of note one way or another. At
times 1t seemed strong and at other times
very soft; but there was no time when 1t
showed any real character. The advices
from the belt were rather bearish. and
there was nothing bullish about the end
of the weeks figures; at the same time,
the bulls seem to think that every card
the bears can play has been played and
that next week will see Something"
There is little doubt that a strong effort
will be made next week to send the mar
ket over cents and by the same token.
a strong effort to prevent it, The bulls
will try to force the shorts to cover. and
most of the bulls hopes are based upon
the fact that the market seems somewhat
oversold. The weather and the movement
are what may favor either one side or the
other.
We continue to look favorable on the
May option, and advise buying on all
weak spots.

IMMENSE ORE BODIES

The Kawich Mountain range, 10 miles
east of Goldfeld. on the same stretch of
mountainous desert as Goldheld, has been
the scene of more great gold strikes, with
in three months, than any other mining
district in the United States. Ore assaying
from 500 to $4,000 per ton has been
brought from Kawich into Goldfield and
stampede for the Kawich district has re-
suited Chunks of ore have been brought
from the district that are literally alive
with gold.
The Kawich Gold Mining Co. Is the
sole owner of 200 acres right in the
midst of the territory where these
great discoveries have been made.
II owns ten claims. They are located on
the west slope of Kawich mountain, and
were discovered at the same time as the
original discoveries were made on the east
slope.
There is at leas. one gold-bearIng
ledge on every one of the ten claims
of the kawich Gold Mining Co.
Assays made from ore samples taken
from lodges on the property show the
existence of some of the highest grade
ore that has been uncovered in Me-
vada during the past five years.
Although the company has only been in
existence a few weeks, 900 miners have
been dispatched to the scene and are now
busy sinking shafts and otherwise devei-
oping the porperty into what gives signs
of becoming one of the greatest producers
