GOOD ROADS.

In speaking of the better roads proposion the Okla
homa Post says
"Nothing will add more TO the immediate wealth Of
a new country than system of good roads. 1t is un-
necessary to argue the point, the fact being generally
conceded yet all new countries and many of the old
are cursed with the most wretched roads imaginable The
loss to the farmers and merchants, the runaon of stock
and vehicles, and the money wasted in constantly put
ting up for temporary repairs would annually construct
a score of miles of perfect urnpkes But there can be
no good roads without good road builders to build them,
One trouble has been that when the weather good the
roads did not need improvement and when the bad
ther came it impossible to get to them 1t is the
story of the "Arkansaw Traveller over again In the
state every precaution should be taken that the
matter of good roads be given the foremost place There
state improved systematically and scientifically. This
will require the supervision of experienced road egn
eer surveys estimates etc. to be made and contracts let
under his direction The obsolete poll tax should be done
away with and this most important matter put into the
hands of competent persons Napoleon Eonaparte, one
of the worlds greatest engineers thought enough of good
roads to give them his personal attention. with the
suit that France today has the finest system of highways
of any country Oklahoma business and agricultural in
terest will suffer if the question is neglected has
been in the past"

STRIKE MADE IN
THE MARzEN RANGE

There is considerable excitement in
the town OF Lovelock and vicinity over
the %purported discovery of nigh grade
ore in the Marzen range about 80 miles
distant. rs a result the entire country
side is being depopulated and every
available team in the town has been
secured and is headed toward the find.
The rush was started by a ~prospector
who exhibited in Lovelock a number of
specimens we'll sprinkled over with free
gold which came from the Stauts group
of claims. The rich ore was found
while prospecting a ledge on one of the
claims, but as yet development has not
been furthered sufficiently to demon
strate it's worth and extent. 1t appears
probable from the meagre information
at hand that the find is meritorious and
that it will add still another to the
rapidly growing list of Nevada gold
camps.
The formation is %porphyry and an
immense dixie of it cuts through that
entire section. This dixie is highly
mineralized and is intersected by many
veins of quartz. 1t was from one of
the latter that the free gold specimens
were extracted. The general opinion
of those who nave inspected the strike
is favorable to it's permanency.
