! Postmaster Havemann wishes The

crossing as rapidly as the conditions
Will permit, but owing to the bad
roads 1t Is almost impossible to get
lumber up to the mine. They are
building good wagon road to the
mine, which will be completed as
soon as the snow goes of. Most OF
the road Is now completed.

axles, and hard work for the teams
to FOUNDER through at all. 1t Is the
rule to see from twelve To fourteen
head Of horses attached to each load
Of freight. For the past week II has
been dark before the stage gets In,
but IL Is remarkable that even Sc
good time Is made between here and
Midway, considering the disadvan-
tages they ate forced To labor under.
