mands way over which It can be
moved. To do this at minimum OF
cost, considering both the surface Of
the road and the means OF conveyance.
Is the problem. The road must be diff.
ferently adapted TO meet varying CON
ditions. In other words. the traffic
must be suited TO the rond or the road
TO the traffic.
Experience and observation are the
best teachers. In the opinion of those
whose views are herein expressed the
attention Of the American public
should he directed primarily TO three
things I'm road construction. namely:
"First-The selection OF the route should
be made with reference TO gradient. align

Second.-ln construction the character

surface OF considerable trafnc during Ger.
tain seasons OF the year.
'Thlrd.-'roo much stress cannot be laid
on the Importance OF tho proper main
tenance OF our highways. No road is ever
finished Traffic begins TO pound and
wear away a road before construction Is
completed. Maintenance must begin on
the very day the road is opened for traf-
hc and continue without ceasing through
out the years TO come.
1.-TWO OF the best specimens Of roads
seen were I'm England. In the vicinity
OF Nottingham we passed for more
than hundred miles over roads built
by u. Purncil Hoolcy which were as
nearly perfect as Il seems possible to
make them. In the cnvirOns Of Lon

Effect Of Good and BAD Roads.

In Issuing call for a state good
roads meeting that was held al Louis
Vile on Sept II Governor Augustus T..
Wilson Of Kentucky said:
There is nothing which hurts the
people more or costs the people more
or keeps them back more than bad
roads. They make It hard to leave
home, hard to get back, hard to haul,
hard to visit, hard to get to heaven
sometimes. There Is nothing that a
man can think OF that will do more to
help the people than good roads, which
make It easy to travel, easy to bring
goods home, easy to haul your produce
and manufactures to market, easy to
go to school and church and easy to
avoid many bitter thoughts that bad
roads cause"

RICH STRIKE THAT
STAGGERS BELIEF

Intelligence Of a startIilIg nature
has just leaked out concerning con-
ditions in the great Seven Troughs
mine, near Vernon. In spite Of the
secrecy of the company, a widening
of the high grade streak to proper
tions that stagger belief, is reported.
Said an employe yesterday: "A
few days ago I drilled for three feet
into solid high grade, every inch of
which showed coarse free gold. The
rock is so incredibly rich thar for
tunes are contained in single cubic
yards of it. | am not exaggerating
when IsaS that it is as rich as any
of the ore that has been given away
for cabinet purposes. or taken to
Loyelock in automobile shipments to
be retorted there. l understand that
that ore averaged between 500 and
$40 a pound in value. wouldn't
hesitate an instant in declaring THAT
we have just opened up a body of
ore in the Seven Troughs mine three
feet wide that will hold up that high
average"
Speaking Of the high grade streak
in general, this miner said: The
special streak of enrichment in the
Seven Troughs is continuous as far
as we have sunk Or drifted, for 500
feet down. 1t can be followed Vith
the eye, so plainly does the free gold
show up, as it changes from it's posi-
tipns from one side of the vein to the
other, always staying inside the
quartz body. 1t varies in width from
an inch to three feet, and sometimes
even pinches entirely off, only to be-
gin again Immediately, and carry its
high values on down. in many places
the enriched streak is from six TO
sixteen inches thick"
Asked as to what the company was
doing with the rich streak, he said:
For the most part they have been
stripping thes ore and leaving il
standing, although they cut through
it often and sack some.'s
AS to how much ore is SHOCKED out
in the mine, he said: 81 wouldn't
be believed if I ventarsd an opinion
If the three-foot body we have Jus:
opened up2holds its present width
and values thirty feet perpeHd Ecularly
and thirty feet horizontally, y66 can
see for Yourself that it will contain
several million dollars in gold and
silver" ~,

GREAT Ledge
OF $500 ORE

If a report gwen out in this city
last night by L. T. Brockbank, T. X.
James and others is true, the new
mining camp Of Selby, in the Wess
Comstock mining district today has
the richest undeveloped mine in the
state of Nevada. These gentlemen
arrived from Seiby and brought with
them samples of ore taken from the
newly-discovered ledge on the prop
erty owned BY Bud Barclay and ]. NJ.
Benton Of this fity. This ore is Of
white quartz, seAmed with iron sui
phides, which carries the gold. The
samples they displayed in Reno were
taken from twenty-foot ledge, and
according to their statements, the
ledge will run $500 across the face
in gold and eighty ounces in silver.
They declare that they have assay
certificates to show this, and that al
though the statement sounds absurd,
they are ready to youch for it.
The ore does not show particle
of free gold, but it is the same char
acter of ore that was taken from
many of the rich mines of California
years ago. 1t is beautiful white
quartz and carries values that will
make Selby the greatest mining camp
in Nevada within another yeaf The
news of the rich strike created much
excitement and many left for the
camp.
| Selby is becoming :, familiar name

parts of the state are preparing i,

miles from the wonderful strikes Of

and that the west Comstock district
