This is the good road time Of the
year and also the time they can be
put in repair AT the least possible eN-
pense and which should be done as
rapidly as possible After roads are
in good repair the attention of road
men should be brought to some of the
heavy grades that may exist IN any
long stretch Of road, These should
by all means be cut down. If ii cant
all be done in one year at least htil2
each year could be done until the road
is the natural grade. 1t costs money
time, horse flesh, harness and lotA of
gasoline to go over grades however
slight Did you ever stop to think
about that?
Here are few points on grades
taken from a government bulletin o.
roads which give very good idea OF
what it costs to have any kind of a
grade in the road

Purpose Of Improved Roads.

"Whatever methods are used to I'm
prove Il road the Improvement for
hauling purposes is due to three
cause.-the betterment of road sur
faces the reduction of grades and the
shortening of the length. ON such an
improved road the time to haul ~ glNet,
quantity of material a given distance
Is reduced. The cost of this work in
the United States at present is high
and is due mainly to steep grades and
yielding road surface on unimprove-
roads. When grade rises six feet 20
the hundred in the horizontal meas
ure, it becomes an increasing him
drance to traffic. on any grade in ad-
dton to the tractive power due to
surface condition, the power OF gray
ity must be overcome. The horse or
machine must raise its own weight
and because Of the manner in which
the strength is applied it becomes less
and less available as the grade in
creases.

RICH GOLD DEPOSITS
At NOME, ALASKA
DAYS OF BONANZA MINING ARE
OVER BUT MUCH GOLD
REMAINS.

The naming of Seward peninsula.
Alaska in 1898, was a somewhat tardy
recognition of the man who had nego-
tiated amid jeers and ridicule, the pur-
chase of the great territory from Rus
STA years before. Nevertheless. this
small arm of Alaska has proved wor-
thy of the name. and while bonanza
mining in the Nome region, which has
produced over $5O.000,000 of gold. or
seven times what Secretary Seward
paid for the whole of Alaska, is now
mostly matter Of history; the region
still contains large bodies of gold gra-
wells many of which can be protitably
exploited 1t is not unlikely. according
to the United States geological sur
vey, that in the future more gold will
be won from these deposits than has
been mined in the past. Furthermore,
though less definite statement Is posi-
bic concerning lode mining. it is de-
clared by the survey that the field Is
we'll worthy Of careful prospecting for
gold vein deposits.
