DOING GOOD WORK
ON GOLDFIELD STREETS

and that portion Of Crook avenue In
front OF the new court house are being
put In shape.
Work on some of the side streets is
being retarded by building operations
but II Is expected that the work will be
completed In forty days. The rock
crusher Is doing good work. crushing
rock for facing the roadways but the
lack Of a roller is a serious handicap.
However. the crushed rock packs well
and while repairs will be necessary in
the spring to keep the roadways in first
class condition. they will be In good con-
dition for trave during the winter
months. In a number of places. notably
on lower Main street, the graded street
rises above the level of the sidewalks.
which will necessitate the putting in of
curb!ng. This work must be done by
the private property owners and they
will undoubtedly lose no time in having
the work done, as a matter Of protection
to their property. as otherwise they
will be in constant danger of being
flooded out every time there is a heavy
rain. BY the first of the year, at the
latest the streets in the business Sec
ton should be in first class condition
and at a cost that should be a source of
congratulation.

The work OF grading the principal
streets in the business section Of Gold
field is being pushed forward energetic
ally by the county commissioners. under
the general supervision of County Sur
veyor Chute. The grading of Main street
has been practically completed and sur
facing the roadway with crushed rock
is now underway. This work Will be de-
layed somewhat by the tearing up of the
street to lay water pipes and sewers.
Considerable work has also been dom on
the side streets, between Main and Co
lumbia, notably on Creek avenue where
the Improvement is noticeable. Heavy
plank crossings are also being put in. an
improvement that will be greatly appre-
ciated during wet wether.
When the county commissioners adj
vertised for bio for grading the streets.
the bids received from the contractor
ran from IS. 500 to $4,000. Under the
direction of the county surveyor, more
grading has been done than was In
cluded In the specifications submitted to
the contractors. at a cost of less than
$4,000. II addition to the territory orig
inally included in the plans for improv-
ing the streets. the block between Euclid
and Fifth avenue, Ramsey and Crook,

Many a mine superintendent has been puzzled at
times by the behavior Of the ore body he was mining
and has felt that a better knowledge of ore deposition
would be of immense value to him. But he is a busy
man, and does not have time to sit down for long hours
and peruse some large and cumbersome text book.
What he wants is a book like THE Origin Of Ore
Deposits" with a flexible linen cover. which he can put
in his coat pocket and carry everywhere.
A book Of "a pages only. which tells him in the
simplest and plainest language, all he wants to know
without burdening him with unnecessary details.
The author Of the book. Mr.. Etienne A. Ritter, is
a mining engineer Of great repute and one OF the high
est recognized authorities on mining geology. HI has
written a clear, comprehensive book, which goes right
into the heart of the subject.
The book is divided into the following nine chap
ters: l. Formation of igneous rocks. 2. Chemistry

ton of ore. s.. Superficial alteration. 8. Secondary

The book is well illustrated, and the illustrations
add greatly to the clearness of the text.
If the book is invaluable to the mine superintendent,
1t is Just as useful to the up-to-date mining investor,
who wishes to be able to judge for himself Of mining
conditions.
The knowledge Of the chief features of ore deposit
ton enables him to ask the mine manager questions
to the point, and to judge the value of a mining en-
gineer's report.
At the end Of the book is a glossary, explaining the
meaning Of the most important terms used In mining
geology.
