COPPER BASIN Is
RECOGNIZED BY SUPERVISORS
(From Wednesdays Daily

Some weeks since. when IL was con
fidently predicted that the center Of
the greatest mining activity in years
would be in the Copper Basin section.
Supervisors Smith and Stewart put
the county outfit and mules on repairs
10 the road between Prescott and that
district, then in bad condition.
Stirred by the persistent rumors Of
strikes by the Commercial Mining
company and other companies in Cop
per Basin. j. !. Jackson, Of the
Copper Hill mines yesterday saw
Messrs. Smith and Stewart with the
idea Of having the roads put in such
condition as to make il permanent
highway with the smallest percentage
Of gradient possible. The supervisors
listened 10 Mr.. Jackson's petition and
then told him that they had already
ordered the outfit on that Job ~
soon as the work at present in hand
shall have been completed, which prob
ably will be Monday next.
They propose 10 spend az least two
weeks on this work; which, when fin.
ished. will render ingress and egrcss
between the Copper Basin camps and
Prescott possible AT all seasons and
with the possibilities OF washouts
along this important road entirely
eliminated.
This il the second time the board
Of supervisors have forestalled petit
tions regarding this one road. They
headed off the road committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce when the re-
cent repairs were made and again
