AND VICINITY

Miss Sheets, who has been IN the en-
ploy of the Imperial Gold Mining and
Milling company, as stenographer. left
Monday for her home in Nebraska. She
will visit with her parents for some time
but will return after her trip and resume
her duties in the Imperial Office. Miss
Amy, you can't stay away. We need
you. Don't we, Mark?
Sam Keenan, and Joe Walters, two of
our we'll known townsmen and boosters,
went to Central City Monday to wait
upon the county commissioners, who
were in session that day. Our roads are
badly in need of repairs and we also
need some new roads, The county COM
missioners surely ought to do something
for this section of the county, as it is one
of the busiest and most travelled thor
oughfares of any district in the county
especially between Apex and Central
City. But our other roads are sorely in
need of repairs and our people will give
roads are procured. If we remember
rightly the same occurrence happened to
the residents of Yankee Hill some two
or three years ago, when they asked time
after time for better roads, but were
turned down, Central City thereby not
only losing the mail route to that section,
but it's merchants were losers as we'll;
and who were the gamers? Idaho Springs
to be sure. Therefore we consider that
the merchants and business men Of Cen
trail City would derive much greater
patronage from our people in assisting
US in obtaining good and passable roads.
We know and we want to thoroughly lm.
press it upon the minds Of outsiders, the
county commissioners, business men and
merchants of Central City, especially,
that today we are the best mining
camp in Northern Colorado, and we'll
will it serve all parties concerned that
Apex should have better roads.
