State Ale For Roads.

The state press is discussing the
question OF good roads and the nee
essity of state aid to secure them
and much interest is being unaffected
The Lexington Herald says
The time has now come when the
State ought to give States aid to every
county which will aid itself in the
construction OF roadways, just as it
gives State aid 10 all counties. TO
many of which do not as yet aid
themselves, in the maintenance OF
schools.
In commenting on this expression
Editor Harry sommers. OF the Eliza
bethtown News, says:
I'VE most heartily endorse the above
coming from the leading Democratic
paper in the center Of the Bluegrass
section. 1t is especially significant
coming from the source It does, when
We consider that the Bluegrass has
the best turnpikes in the United
States that the people in that section
are willing TO be taxed to build such
roads in the poorer parts OF the
State that are not able 10 build them
without help. New York and New
Jersey are spending millions in State
aid for turnpikes and Kentucky can
rot take a more pronounced step for
ward than 20 follow their example.
While the Bluegrass section would
pay a large part OF the tax for good
roads. like it does for public schools,
the people OF that section are inter-
ested in the development and ad-
vancement OF the less favored parts
o, the Commonwealth. We. believe
that Louisville would also heartily
favor the movement and that the cit
liens OF our metropolis will gladly pay
a tax TO help build up Kentucky oy
the means OF turnpike roads.
1T should be borne in mind that
the State cannot build the roads A.
lone. but that the counties must do
their part. The counties should pay
al least half the cost per mile for the
building OF turnpikes and counties
that are unwilling TO do this should
receive no part OF the State aid.

so pale while he was lying on the

MINING IN NEVADA IS RE-
DUCEu 10 SCIENCE

Few things are more interesting to
the man who seeks to uncover the s.
crets of nature than the way in which
mining is being conducted these days,
says the Salt Lake Herald. There was
time not SO very long ago when min
ing was regarded as a sort of wild
gambling proposition. Indeed, some
of the methods used in mining we're
such as to give ground for the theory
Shafts were sunk in a happy-go lucky
hitor-miss fashion. If the ore was en-.
countered it was largely matter of
good fortune. If it was not encounter
ed the miner transferred his tools to
another point and began operating
there
Today mining, and especially mining
in Nevada, has been reduced to what
may almost he called an exact science
This is possible because of the regu-
larity of the formations in many dis
tricts Of the state. Ledges traverse
the country, the outcroppings showing
certain values in the precious metals.
An open cut reveals the existence of a
vein pitching in a certain direction at
a certain angle. The expert miner
knows that if he sinks a shaft at a
certain spot and drives it to a certain
depth he will assuredly strike that
vein at depth. This has been demon
strated time and again in several of
the districts.
And through the pluck. the courage
ana the energy Of the miners the
theories Of some mining experts have
been badly shattered. A pet theory in
the beginning of gold mining, or rath-
er recent gold mining in Nevada, was
that the values were all contained in
the lime Gaping that covers a great
part OF the country. When you get
below the lime" said the experts.
your values will pinch. dwindle, dis
NNt'N''i' L VI oOIIlt tlu6 ilp experts
were believed. Then a miner got be-
low the lime He found that 1ha
values did not pinch, that instead tn av
grew greater with depth.
1t was found, too. that the veins
went down, that other veins and As
sures were encountered, all carving
high values. More. the character of
the ore changed from oxides to sui
phldes, thus indicating greater ore
bodies and permanent values. This
has brought about the great revival Of
interest in Nevada mining And the
change has come. not because of tbe
mining experts, but in spite of them,
though it must be said in fairness
mat some experts predicted the very
conditions that have come TO mass
The Herald believes that there is y
great future for mining in Nevada Il
believes the story of its possibilities
has just begun to be told. that tha
ground has been barely scratched and
that future work will reveal richnass
as yet undreamed Of even by the mon

Queer things happen in France. The
