THE ROAD QUESTION

As secretary Of the GOOD Roads
Meeting" held at III, court house in
Okolona last week, | have been asked
to give a few facts and figures so that
we may 80 about this important matter
with an intelligent understanding Of
what we are expected to do, and what
the cost will be. and the benefits to be
looked forward 10 for the country and
the town. for you cant help one with

The only objection | have ever heard
that is worth noticing (and that is
very important one) is that it would
saodle a dig debt on the district and
raise our taxes. Let US investigate
little;
Suppose we issued $4,000 in bonds
for twenty years at six per cent inter
est, Il would take $500 to pay the
interest annually. We already pay q
road tax in this district Of about S3,0O0
That would pay the interest and leave
$1,000 for a sinking fund to take up
the bonds. and we would gel $4,000
to put on our roads at once. without
costing one cent in increased taxation
That prosition is so PLAN that blind

ready pay takes care Of the whole
proposition.
This road business is beiog dis

Miller had decided to be elsewhere
when the matter came before the dis

Smith, knight and Hildebrandt, that

The ore is crushed to a mesh of about

then drawn off into n preeipitating

DOING RUSH WORK ON
SHELTER At MASON

A completed smelter by July ], 1911,
seems to be the slogan Of the Mason
Valley Copper company, and unless the
company meets with some unlooked-fo r

should be pretty well realized. There
is a tremendously heavy demand for
structural materials at this time. and
some of the most extensive mill and
smelter installations of the west win
be undertaken between now aud a wear
from next July, thus the Mason Valley
is naturally hurrying to get'its orders in
as early as possible. The structural

he would remain to testify in the SEN
sational case could not under the law

was no immunity contract; it was sim
ply a plain case of dismissal with an
understanding. The only way under
which a return in law could have been
brought about would have been the
filing of a new complaint constituting
the basis for extradition proceedings.
Even then had Miller been brought
back under such a course he could have
set up the plea of once in jeopardy
and quite likely beat the issue.
As to what will be done with Miller
after he is landed here is a question. He
will probably remain under threat that
he can't "get out of it,; that if
Pinkerton detectives can locate him in

MASON NOW DRAWING

The Mason valley country is now
drawing the attention of many people,
and the attention is well merited. Rail
road connections have been made be-
tween Wabuska and the town of Mason,
and big gasoline cars, much like the
ines used by the Southern Pacific IN
its i%nter-urban service in California,
are being used on the line, and q very
convenient schedule between Wabuska
and Mason has been arranged.
Mason is the center of a great copper
mining country that mining experts
pronounce will be one of the greatest
copper producers in the United States,
and an S00-ton smelter is nov building,
us a starter in the reduction line. IN
addition to the mines the Mason valley
country offers great agricultural posi-
h~ilities, as well as affording induce
ments for live stock and poultry pusl-
ness, as there is an abundance of fertile
soil, grazing, water, timber, ano every
thing that is needed by such a COM
With the building of the railroad, al

DAYTON MILL SOON
TO Be COMPLETED

VIRGINIA CITY, New, May b.
The Nevada Mining. Reduction & Pow
or company, having milling and mining
interests at Silver City and Dayton, is
making good progress III the develop
ment of it's property and in the near
future will be ready to start operations
ON a large scale. The new 40-stamp
mill at Dayton is now nearing compile
ton. Embodied in it's equipment being
all the latest features of amalgamation
and concentration. The mill stands on
the side of the old Rock Point mill and
is built entirely of corrugated iron. The
foundations of building, batteries, ore
chutes, rock brushes, etc, are all on
cement.
The process will include a~malgama-
tion by plates and pans and the pulp
will then be separated into six differ
ent classifications, TO be run onto ma
chimes especially adjusted to each grade.
The concentration room includes l6
johnson machines in which are included
the latest improvements. The tailings,
when of high enough value, will be i'm.
pounded and worked at she cyanide
plant at the old Nevada Reduction
works, o a part of the property. The
mill will be electric lighted with the
conduit system and viii DE run by
water power, a large lake having been
constructed for the purpose of storing
the water. A 200-h. p. motor will also
be put in as auxiliary power when there
is a shortage of water.
The facilities for getting the ore into
the mill and ore bins are of the best,
which includes belt conveyances all
worked by power. A spur track is
contemplated to connect with the
Southern Pacific railroad near the Day
ton station. Another plan which may
be adopted is the construction OF a
tramway to the mill from the Silver
City mines.
