Good Roads Commission.

The State Roads Commission will
soon take up the question of material
for roads AS far as possible native
material will be used, though from the
lower Eastern Shore and from Southern
Maryland counties re coming demands
for crushed rock. The claim is made
that roads made of oyster shells will not
last over seven years, that constant re-
pairs are necessary and that rock roads
will be cheaper in the long run.
1t is going to be a hard task for the
commission to decide on the kind of
material to be used in some sections of
the State and at the same time give gen.
eral satisfaction. They are willing to
use crushed rock, but the great expense
in conveying it to distant points is an
obstacle hard to overcome. If crushed
rock is used in the lower Eastern Shore
and western shore counties those coun-
ties will find the mileage of their State
built roads greatly reduced because of
the expense.
Some members of the commission are
apprehensive til at the contractors bids
will be too high. If the bids are too
high, or if there is evidence of a combi-
nation among the bidders, the commits
sion may erect its own stone crushing
plant and build the roads, as it is en-
powered to do under the law. This
question has already been discussed by
the commission.

COAL DEPOSITS.
THE coal deposit. at salmon city

and have responded in "A very 1lat-
&tGring manner. and are now said TO
warrant a very much larger produc-

In Fremont county considera be

marked Improvement in the showing
has resulted tending To demonstrate
the pernanency and importance of
those deposits.

eliy having some influence on the
price of lumber, though do not think
that UP to the present time they have
greatly retarded the advance, in lum-
Der prices. The fact is that our In
dustrlal progress has been so great
that our requirements for every kind
of structural material have Increased
tremendously. We are using at the
present time more lumber per capita
than ever before and probably twice
as much pei. capita as we did 80
years ago. The conclusion can not be
escaped therefore. that in the future
we must depend more than In the past
on other materials than wood for GER

ATLANTA DISTRICT.
Another new source of gold that Is,
going to cut an important figure in the

that OF old Atlanta district in fillmore

Adjoining on the east, the Petit mine,

advantage OF a large investment OF
capital in new development and milling

metaIlursical features of the enterprise
have been successfully worked out.

and the enterprise in its present stage
of development and equipment assures
an extensive. lasting and profitable

The relation between the increasing
use of cement and the diminishing
timber supply in the United States has
been the subject Of some interesting
correspondence between the Geological

that it would be, difficult to estimate
