 The rains of Monday and Tuesday did large amount of damage to the wagon roads of the county. The Stockton Hill road is said to be almost impossible, while the road west of Colo Road has been so badly washed that no wagons can yet over it until repaired The road over Coyote mountain is washed out of existence.

 Now is the time for the people of this county to get together on the building Of good roads. Make a start on the building of one scientifically built road and other good roads will follow as a necessity. No county in the territory stands in greater need of good roads than does Mohave, and the only way to get them is to make a stir in the road building line and they will come with a rush. Let everybody get busy, but the first thing is organi- zation and the impressing of the Ter ritorial Board of Control in the work. To get our proportion of tax money and create a fund for the work the Territorial Engineer must lay out a section of road to be worked:on.

 c. w. Miller was awarded the con- tract to build the bridge over the Coy ote Hill canyon by the board of super visors at its recent meeting, the price being below one thousand dollars. It is now up to the people of Kingman to have a survey made of the road and build a new roadway on a good grade across the mountain. This road is one of the main arteries of trade out of Kingman and the people should see to it that it is put in excellent shape. The county has a surveyor that can be called upon at any time to survey out Lew roads and his services should be called into requisition in the laying out of proper grade over this noun tain pass. Union Pass, Cerbat, Union Basin, Todd Basin, Mineral Park and Chloride, and in fact all the camps up the range are reached over this road and no expense should be spared in cutting the heavy mountain grade to minimum.
