The remedy for bad roads, II seems

is no such man In your nefghborhood,

Grading n Roadbed.

II is simply extraordinary the lack
OF judgment shown by many who un-
dertake TO shape a roadbed The road
allowance In various states is sixty
six feet. In rounding up the roadbed
the earth is sometimes moved toward
the center from nearly the entire dis
tance OF the width OF the road. This
means that the bitches for carrying
away the water are not distant from
the fences that hedge In The highway.
The rOadbed Is entirely too wide. II
q mot be sufficiently rounded toward
the center, and as a result water does
not run on with sufficient quickness.
The temptation TO spoil roads by grad
ing them thus Is an the stronger since
road graders have come into use. This
result follows from the comparative
quickness with which the earth can be
moved by these machines. A distance
Of forty-two to forty-flve feet between
the outer edges of the bitches fur
nishes a roadbed sufficiently wide.

workings in this group extends for over
five miles. The Standard mine has
been a dividend payer for over 90 years
and is still good for so more, judging
from the ore in sight. During that
time it has produced over $~20,0O0,ooo
and is now turning out bullion at the
rate of $40, 900 per month. The mine
is equipped with a modern 2o-stamp
mill having a capacity of 125 tons
daily, which will be enlarged to over

prosperous section Of this county. s. II.
Young, one Of the valleys most enter.
prising business men and ranchers. ia
having installed . big electric plan,
on the Humboldt river, about nine
miles from the town Of Lovelock. At
this point a fine dam has been built
and water power established. The DOW
er-house has been equipped with a large
dynamo and all required machinery me-
nessary to run the plant. A large gaso-
line engine will be used in case Of the
water power system getting out of or
der or on account of the low water in
the river. The poles are now being
set and in a short time the wire will be
strung to the town of Lovelcck.
Mr.. Young contemplates having the
plant in operation in thirty days. When
finished the people Of the valley, and
especially the town of Lovelock, eau
procure lights and power at a nominal
cost. Not only will the Big Meadows
town be thoroughly lighted from this
source, but power will be transmitted
over the valley for electric pumps.
With this plant in operation it will be
necessary to run the big gasoline en-
CINE that handles the pump that fur
nishes the water to the town at the
present time, for instead electricity will
be used for this purpose. As water
can be procured in wells only a few
feet from the surface in the town of
Lovelock a small electric pump can be
used at each residence for irrigation
OF the lawns and for fire purposes with
out the necessity of water pipes to
remote parts Of the town.
Under this system the people of Love
lock can enjoy the benefits not obtain

Lovelock can be made one Of the pref

NEW STRIKE AT LUCKY

Lucky Boy, New, July 29.-Oys 3
The einNthe is
tory Of the entire district was made
on the lease which James O'Brien has
lately taken on the Hardscramble
group, this week, while running a sur
face trench to catch the western strike
of the contact from the lease which is
being operated by Iven andersen and
associates.
They have at least two and ms hsls
feet of ore opened up at the present
time which is literally i~mpregnated
with galena and black metal, or 81! Jer.
This lease is SITUATED something
near 1000 feett from the anderson
shaft, both of which are near Squaw
Creek, where there is an ample supply
Of running water.
The andersen shaft has attained q
depth of 25 feet in the two wees OF
operation with only one shift of men
working. They contemplate sinking to
100 feet of depth, after which they will
drift on the contact for their ore.
Manager andersen is confident that
they too will have pay ore in less than
thirty DAYS.
