Observations on Good Roads

| A great many people think becaus,
he is prospecting he can build his own
roads until such time as his gets to
shipping. Then, they say, we will
help him. AS a matter Of fact, ii he
ever needs help 1t Is when his prop
erty is in the embryo stage.
1t is not necessary to make a coun-
~ road out Of all the prospectors'
trails, but they should often be given
some assistance in building or repair
ing their roads or trails. British Col
umbia has profited immensely by this
plan.
The pioneers of this mining district
certainly did not walt until prospects
became mines before starting roads
to different parts of the country from
a given center
All bridges. too, should be looked
after IN order that drift wood may he
cut away from the piling, so that there
may be the least possible strain when
the high water comes

editor. of The Miner.

To the Editor of The Miner;
At this time of the year roads
should be carefully looked after and
put in good shape for winter, and es-
pecally Is this necessary along the
streams where the road is near the
stream level.
IN many places in this country n
very small obstruction in stream
will turn the water out of its natural
channel and often do great damage to
ffle highway near r.
An hour or two OF work cleaning
out such streams would prevent wash
ing and save perhaps days OF work
to put the road In good condition
again.
This is the time Of year when pros :
pectors take In their winter supplies
Where they Ike in remote places Y

ance re can set more than the pros-
peotof, snd M Nh gcts ~ little. n

TAMARAck.CusTER CON.
Big Mine and lmportant--Lead Silve
Producer.

The Tamarack and Custer Consol-
dated mine, situated on the north
slope of Nine Mile creek, a short dis
lance south of the Interstate Gala :
han, is rapidly assuming the proper
tons of a big mine and an important
producer of rich lead silver mineral
II is connected by aerial tramway to
the old Sixteen to- one mill. which Is
being operated under lease by this
company. and as an evidence Of the
merits of this ore deposit and its me-
tallic contents, the statement that this
old mill Is treating $50 tons of ore a
day and shipping 1900 tons of high
grade crude ore md concentrates per
month forcibly Illustrates the merits
of the deposit. These mineral ship
ments are lead-sllver, with very little
zinc. the latter mineral being we'll be-
low the penalty limit and no attemps
has been made TO separate it as by
product.
Early Custer Work--Later Develop.
This property embraces the original
Custer group of claims, and the orig
inal Tamarack group, covering the
same vein course along its strike for
about mile In length. The lamar
ack ore body was practically unknown
to the old operators of the Custer
mine, which produced 100000 worth
of ore in the early days. but has since
been idle until acquired by the pres
ent owners and consolidated with the
Tamarack group. The present devei-
opment of the property Is entirely On
the Tamarack ore shoot, which has
been opened through an adit tunnel
Known as the Tamarack. or No. tun-
mel at depth Of $40 feet and by
from the old lower tunnel Of
the Custer company at further depth

DUST DESTROYING
GOODS WITHOUT
ANY ABATEMENT.
WoFUL NEGLECT or ToNoPAH
STREETS MEANS A SERIOUS
LOSS TO MERCHANTS.

Business men are up in revolt
against the present county administra-
ton which has treated with frivolous
ease the demand for an abatement of
the dust nuisance During the past
three days a perfect simeon has pre-
vailed and the loss TO merchants
must necessarily be great. Nothing
could exclude the clouds of dust
which penetrated the deepest recess
es of stores and homes until life
became a burden.
Tonopah business men pay enorm-
Gus taxes and are entitled to some
more consideration than they are re-
Iceiying. When a small store keeper
digs up s35 a quarter for license
to do business and pays rent and
taxes he thinks he is paying for
something in return The sprinkling
feature has always been deemed OF
vital Importance and in a dry country
like this desert. it is not only es-
sential but 1t is an absolute necessity.
For the sake of saving a few dollars
day the county commissioners sub
iect the merchant to the loss OF hun
dreds through stock damage and no
attempt is made to remedy the trou-
Bile.
Taxpayers have been told that the
town is about to experiment with
oiled roads but such experiments do
not abate the dust nuisance. At
least the sprinkling could 60 on dur-
ing the time when the experiments
are being conducted as no results
can be expected before next season.
The county dads think they can
setEs the difficulty for all time by
applying a coat Of Grade oil and then
let the sprinkling go but they will
find they win have to continue a
certain amount of watering to keep
the surface in good condition.
