obtain good roads? That is q

obtain good roads? That is a
subject upon which there may be
different opinions. but my opinion
is that we will never get good
roads until there is adopted Ger
tain plan to work by which should
be adopted over the whole state.
In fact the roads should be built
by the state with civil engineers as
road overseers, these engineers to
be appointed by the Governor.
They should be strictly under the
civil service rules, should not
come under any political influence
whatsoever.
Many things could be said on
this subject but it will take too
much space. What l wanted was
to draw attention to the SUBJ
ject. that those who have more
ability to write would take it up
and develop it further. Hope some
one will send in an article in the
next issue.
Respectfully,
Ole Henjum.

KING WILLIAM HAS
A WELCOME CLEW
Manager Blanchard Does Not
Give Details. but Admits
New Disclosure.

During the past few days The King
William company has been one oL the
main interest ceDtcrs Of The state. This
was due To the fact that the officials
after an Intellectual attempt 10 catch its
ore bodies via the Eagle aud Blue Bell
mine, made arrangements with the Grand
Central company to survey that territory
in the hope OF securing a more adequate
idea of It's own ground.
General Manager Blanchard came in
from Eureka SATURDAY. and when asked
oy The Tribune FOR a statement he said:
1T would look TO be bad form for the
King William. management to Indicate
JUST what informa ton and data was Sc
cured by the recent joint survey and
reference 10 the maps OF its neishbor the
Grand Central Mining company which
latter company so kindly consented 10 the
survey being made II may he said how
ever. that tho Information obtained is IN
great measure highly favorable to the
klne William company. inasmuch as IL
offers a cieW whereby the work may be
prosecuted in more conclusive manner.
l would say that ! am at this time
more than ever convinced that the King
William is destined to become one Of the
big mines AT Tintic. We expect in a
very few days TO have certain details arr
ranged whereby work will be resumed on
another Level with ample funds to bring
about early results. This is about all
l care TO say nj the present time"

4 great deal Of discussion has been
created in American copper circles by the

toric copper propositions of the world

as some ol the modern low-cost hmerl-
can propositions which he criticlscs.
Ills statement in part follows:
feN OF the larger mines and groups
IN America have undoubtedly reduced
lheir production since last autumn, but
The total output figures of that continent
indicate that other and smaller mines
are trying to keep going by mining the
largest quantity of copper they can In
order to reduce the cost of each ton they
produce, even II they make no profits and
exhaust their assets. This policy while
suicidal TO themselves, is naturally very
detrimental TO tho interests Of copper
producers who. while stiil able 10 pay
dividends. yet have their profits consld
eraly reduced.
From an analysis OF the published re-
turns of the United States copper mines
a number of companies. having over
500. o0o, 600 Of capital. can he picked out.

Therefore. III the last three years these
American mines in question have prob
ably exhausted nearly a sixth OF their

have paid, as / have said. less than .
