stated that over $500 had been
raised at meeting held In Du-

welcome news that the mining com
pany OF which Mr.. Magnam OF Den

spend from $4,000 to 5000 In sur
facing the road and that the mining
company has placed orders In the
East for the manufacture OF five
large automobile trucks which will
be placed in commission early In the
spring. together with two trucks
they now own.
II was also brought out at the
meeting that material reduction
In the grade OF the road had been
effected and that the greatest grade
on the road would not be over five
per cent
The citizens present at the meet
ing decided to send a committee to
Salt Lake TO confer with the state

press companies are not going after
this business very strongly. owing
20 the brcakage and the liability for

which prevails NJ present. In all
