State Highway Construction.

We are in receipt of the second annual
report on State Highway construction,
issued by the Maryland Geological Sur
vey and covering the period from JAM I,
1906 to Jan. 1, 1908. The report states
that the work under the State Aid Road
Law, commonly known as the "Shoe-
maker Law" has been actively continued,
and wider appreciation of its provisions
has become apparent as additional roads
have been built Already rs miles have
been completed under this law. Surveys
and specifications have been made for $50
miles, and applications have already been
received at the Office of the Highway
Division for 274 miles. Much greater
results might have been secured during
the three years that the law has been in
operation if the people of the State had
more fully understood the intent of the
Act and the methods which the State
Commission is pursuing. This law, in its
most essential particulars, is like the
legislation which has proven SO success
full in Massachusetts. Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey.
In view of the widely awakened interest
in road matters, the Commission makes
the following recommendations
First-That the early improvement,
according to modern methods, of an effic-
lent system of main roads and feeders
covering the whole State is desirable from
every STANDPOINT.
Second-That it is not only proper. but
good business Judgment on the part of
the State, to provide that the main arteries
of this system should be improved and
maintained by the State Commission at
the expense of the State.
Third-That the Improvement of the
remainder of the system should be at the
joint expense of the State and the
counties
Fourth-That the minor roads should
be built and maintained by the counties
and localities themselves.
Fifth-That present conditions have
shown the importance of many of the
turnpikes as sections of the general sys-
tenn. While undoubtedly the operation
of these highways has contributed in the
past to the development of the State, con-
ditions are rapidly approaching the point
where their further existence as toll roads
is entirely undesirable.
Sixth-That any legislation providing
for the taking by the State of the turn
pixies should allow great discretion to the
State Commission to prevent the acqui-
sitiou OF unnecessary property or turn
pixies unsuited to the development of
system of market roads.
Mention is made of damage done 10
macadam roads by automobiles dashing
along them at high speed, and the sug-
gestion offered by Engineer Crosby to
prevent such scorching is that at frequent
intervals artificial trenches or ridges ex-
tending across the axis of roads be made,
at height or depth sufficient to deter
high speeding.

1t seems that at last one of President
Roosevelt's messages has struck. It was
his message of Monday. April the 27th
Speaker Cannon, the man of the mighty
mallet, has surrendered to the Big Stick,
and the Presidents program as laid down
in the message it is thought will be
adopted. 1t includes certain measures, as
follows:
A continuation of the Waterways Com.
mission; An Amendment of the Sherman
Law; A provision for Compensation for
Injured Government Employees; An
Anti-Iujunction Bill; Provision for a
Tariff Investigation; and finally. and per-
haps the most important of all. A FL
nancial Bill.
The President mentioned, in addition
to these measures, the Employers Liza
bility Bill, already enacted and signed
though in shape not wholly pleasing to
him: the establishment of the Postal
Savings Bank, aud an appropriation for
carrying into effect the plans of the Inter

the House has introduced in compliance
With the Presidents message, a tariff

fer the removal of the tariff on wood pulp

GOLD RUN DISTRICT IS
SHOWING FINE ORE SHOOTS

Exploitation in Goldrun district has
disclosed strong shoots of ore carrying
exceedingly high milling values in gold
within a few feet Of the grass roots,
and these developments have been en-
tirely sufficient to greatly aecentuate
active operations on many properties
on this rich gold belt.
During the past week more real work
has been lone than at any other time
in the history of this district, and 4,
is a work of such character as viii
demonstrate at depth the real extent
and value Of the mineral lode of this
region.
Not least of these enterprises is the
inauguration of the crosscut tunnel
which will tap at a depth of mere than
200 feet the high grade shoot heretofore
encountered in the bottom of the shaft
on the Butte group, which property was
recently acquired by some active Ne
vada mining operators This crosscut
will be advanced about 900 feet and at
that point will erosscut the ore body at
a sufficient depth to demonstrate its
real value, and at the same time will
be conclusive evidence to others who
are prosecuting development work in
this section that depth only is neees-
sary to open up strong veins carrying
high gold values. The formation,
which is a porphyritic quartz rather
than a quartz porphyry (for the por-
phyry predominates), is n which is
acceptable to those who have had large
experience in those sections where gold
veins have been proven at depth, and
when the surrounding favorable condi-
tions are considered there is every
reason to believe that equally good re-
suits will be secured in this new field.
Strong mineralized dykes are to be
seen in Goldrun and the development
work so far prosecuted is a positive as
surance that the phenomenal gold
values encountered at and near the sur
face are still maintained at depth.
On the Jumbo group sufficient work

has already been done to define an ore
shoot carrying very good milling ma
terial, and a limited amount of judi
cious investment will, no doubt, open
up a shoot of ore of sufficient high
grade to return a handsome profit ovcr
all charges for mining, transportation
and reduction. And when this ore win
return a handsome profit under such
circumstances, some idea may be had OF
the immense profit resulting from these
operations If the ore be reduced on the
ground. As "A matter of fact, it Is an
ideal camp of the economical and
rapid prosecution Of extensive opera
tons, for not only are the ores of :
uniformally very high grade, but there
is fine cedar and pine timber for al
mining purposes and ample water power
for running the largest reduction
plants. A very careful estimate Of op-
erations on a large scale wouid indicate

than $3.50 a ton, which is certainly an
insignificant sum when the real value
of the ores is considered.
Within a few DAYS w. 2. Moss has
made an important disclosure on his
Edna group of claims, which are stu
ated Immediately on the richest part
of this great district, and IN incline
shaft is now being SUM on the vein to
determine its width and richness. This
shaft will be sunk 60 or 20 feet and
drifts will then be advanced both ways
on the vein. The strike referred to is
quite important from the fact that it is
a property on which very little work
has been done, and yet the paintings
show the very best gold values, som of
them going as high as $3.50 to $3.50 a
ton.
Leo Erenhous will leave for the east
in a few days for the purpose of inter
esting capital in the FL Pas group,
which is an extension of the famous
Butte group, on which active work is
now being advanced.

A SURPRISING STRIKE

From all accounts the latest strike
on the Wihuja lease on the Therien
property at Seven Troughs promises to
surpass anything yet opened in the dis
trict. On the 265-foot level a two-foot
body of blue quartz has been encoun.
tered that eclipses any of the picture
rock that has made the district famous.
As development proceeds the vein main
tains it's width and the values show no
decrease. 1t is thought that this shoot
is due to the nearness of the j%uncture
of the kindergarten Therien vein and
the Mazuma Hills and Reagan veins.

mill, at Jumbo, will be completed and

as soon as possible. The timber has all
been framed. and the concrete founda.

long to erect the housing for the plant
and install the machinery after the
foundations are ready.
