distance at a spring. The camp con-
sists of the cook house. corral, black
smith shop. bunk house and commits
sary. The commissary is well stocked
and supplies all the needs OF the men
employed on the road. Nine hours
of actual work on the road consti-
tutes days work, the men making
the trip back and forth from camp
TO the point of work on their own
time. Though the work is necessa-
rily hard, the men are well fed and
appear TO be well satisfied
Arriving at the road camp, the
visitors were promptly given a good
square meal. which was done full
justice. There was a shortage OF
saddle horses in camp, and only two
could be secured. Mr.. Dorman con-
sequently remained at camp to trans
act some business, while Mr.. Glenn
ans and the writer made the trip to
Pineair and back on horseback over
the trail. The new road is completed
for mile or so above the camp and
for half a mile farther on the brush
has been cut from the survey. Prob
ably by this time camp has been
moved to a point farther up the line.
THE TRIP BY TRAIL.
1t was 5 o'clock in the evening be-
fore saddle horses were procured, and
the two men started from the end
of the road over the trail to Pineair.
The distance across is estimated at
about eight miles, and probably I'M
der ordinary conditions could be made
in two or three hours on good horses.
That sounds like a long time. but one
needs to ride over that trail before
fully approaching its roughness. 1t
might be added, too, that the miles
Whereabouts are fully matured 1t is
needless to dwell at any length on
the incidents of the ride across. 1t is
sufficient to say that in the darkness
that came all too soon. the trail was
lost, and for a couple of hours the
only familiar thing in sight was the
comet. By dint of much brush burn
ing and persistent hunting, the trail
was again discovered and Mr.. Glenn
ans ranch house was reached at ex-
actly midnight, several hours later
than had been calculated upon.
At this pOnt on Reavis creek Mr..
Clemans has one of the finest little
mountain ranches in that section of
the country He has about thirty
acres under cultivation, with an album

well-built ranch house, good barns,
shops and corrals. Much might be
said about this little garden spot,
but this is a Pineair article. so it
will be hurried along to Pineair itself
THE RESORT.
After a 4:30 breakfast the next
the two again saddled horses
and started up Reavis creek, Mr..
Clemans to post a notice of a water
for the use of the re-
sort and the writer for his first
glimpse of Pineair. Distances are
rather deceiving in that section of
the country, and it is probably not
over half a mile from the ranch house
10 the north boundary line of Pineair
tract.
One gets a fOretaste of what is
in the way of pines before
the site of the resort is reached. but
II is not until the north boundary is
reached that one begins TO gain an
dea of what Pineair really is. The
writer had expected to find a few
pines there, but not hundreds and
hundreds of them. One cannot ride
through the resort for more than a
ew minutes without approaching the
act that the place has been very ap-
named. The resort eX-
