Mohave County miner., 1913-05-24

dance. as you will have the time oi your lie. Tickets are now on sale. An effort is being made to sell the road bonds of Mohave county at a premium and have the work of road building commenced within the next few months. Mohave county needs good roads badly and it is to be hoped that every etfor will be made to put through the road deal. We would also suggest that an effort be made to have congress press the subject of an appropriation for bridge at T0pock. This bridge is of vital interest to this and San Bernardino counties whether we are to have National highway or not. There Is not wagon bridge across the Colorado river from Green river to the mouth of the Colorado, ferryage being the means of getting from one side of that great stream to the other. When the river is at its height it is practically impossible to get across and all shipments must be by rail.
 Kingman people might build to great advantage in making possible an automobile road in the high Wallapais, where sumner camps may be made among the pines. The ride would be only about two hours from Kingman, and many of the surrounding towns would also participate in setting up a splendid sum mer resort, where people might enjoy themselves at an altitude that would be bracing and eXhilarat. ing. Only few hundred dollars would be necessary to make the road passqble by auto and it could then be gradually built into a splendid high. way.
