intervals until the surface is smooth and firm.
 If the road to be treated is composed of clay, it should first be brought to a rough grade with a road machine. The sur face should then be plowed and thoroughly pulverized by har- rowing to a depth of about 4 inches after which it is given a or slope of about one-half inch to the foot from the center to the sides. It is then covered with 6 to 8 inches of clean, sharp sand, which is spread thicker in the center than at the sides. The materials should then be mixed with blows and harrows while they are comparatively dry, af- ter which they are finally pud- dled with a harrow during wet weather. If clay works to the surface and the road become sticky, more sand should be add ed.
 The road is then shaped, crowned and ditched in the usual manner with a road machine. This should be done when the surface is soft, yet stiff enough to pack we'll under the roller or the traffic. Wide but shallow ditches should be provided on both sides of the road, and cul- verts or crossrains should be placed wherever water flows across the road, for it is exceed ingly important that the "sand on clay" roads be well drained. After the clay on sand, or the sand on clay, road is completed, it should be carefully maintained until the surface becomes firm and smooth. The construction of this type of road is by no means a quick operation. If soft, sticky places appear, more sand should be added, and if loose, sandy places are found, more clay is needed. It is just as important to attend to these small details as to any other part of the work, for, if they are neg lected, the road is liable to fail.
 It requires approximately l , cubic yard of clay to surface one and one-half running yards of road 12 feet in width, or about 1175 cubic yards to the mile. From three-fourths to 1 cubic yard will make a load for two horses on a dry clay road. The cost of the road will therefore depend largely upon the distance the material is hauled, the aver age being from $500 to 1000 per mile. A road built under the direction of the Office of Public Roads at Gainesville, Florida one mile long, IA feet wide, and having 9 inches of sand-clay sur face, cost $881 per mile, or ten cents per square yard. Another sand-clay road built by the Office at Tallahassee, Florida, 16 feet wide, 2 inches thick, cost $47O per mile, or about five cents per square yard.

SAND-CLAY
 ROAD WORK
When and How It Should Be Done To Obtain Best
 Results.
Special to Independent.

washington, u. C., Jan. ZU.- There are at present about 35,- 900 miles of sand-clay roads in the United States, mainly in the Southern States, according to the Office of Public Roads, U. s. Department of Agriculture. The time to work the roads is in the spring when the soil is damp. If the working of the roads is de- ferre6 until late in summer when they are dry, they are not only much more difficult to put in proper shape but the cost of re- pair is greater than if they were worked early in the spring.
 Previous to 1894 comparative ly little, if any, of these roads existed. The popularity of this type of road is due to the fact that it is cheap, comparatively firm and durable, easy to con- struct and repair, and that the materials out of which it is built are plentiful in many sections of the country.
 The sand-clay road is made by mixing the sand and clay in such a way that the grains of sand touch each other, the spac- es between the grains being fill ed with clay which acts as a binder.
 The approximate mixture of sand and clay may be determined by filling a vessel with a sample of the sand to be used and anoth- CT vessel of the same size with water. The water is poured carefully into the sand until it reaches the point of overf1owing. The volume of water removed from the second vessel repre- sents approximately the propor- tion of clay needed.
 The proper proportion of sand and clay can best be determined, however, as the work progresses, as some clay will contain more sand than others. In fact, clays are very frequently found which already contain about the right proportion of sand.
 If the road to be treated is sandy, the surface is first leveled off and crowned with a road ma chine, the crown being about one-half inch to the foot from the center to the sides. The clay is then dumped on the sur face and carefully spread, so that it will be from 6 to 8 inches in depth at the center, and grad ually decreasing in depth to- wards the sides. A layer of clean sand is then usually added, which is thoroughly mixed with the clay, either by traffic or by means of blows and disk or tooth harrows.
 The best results have been ob. tained by thoroughly mix ing ol pudding the materials wher wet. For this reason, it is desir. able that the mixing be done 1T wet weather. The mixing car be left to the traffic after tht materials have been properly placed, but this involved whole winter and spring of bad road and even then the mixing is no always satisfactory. In all case : it is advisable to dress the roa' with a road machine or split-lo, drag after the materials hav' been thoroughly mixed, and t. give it crown of not more thal 1 inch or less than three-fourth inch to the foot from the cente to the sides. A light coating o sand may then be added. Tn use of the road machine or dral should be continued at frequen

John Swanson, miner at work in
the Tennessee mine, was caved on Fri
day night and died a few hours later.
1t seems that there was loose ground
in the drift and the shift boss had noti-
fled the men to keep away because
there was danger of a cavern but
Swanson saw piece of timber on the
ground and picked it UP and tried to
drive it in the ground but ton of rock
became loose and crushed him. His leg
and back were broken and he only lived
few hours but was conscious to the
last moment. Judge Russell held an
inquest and the verdict was in con-
formity to the facts. Mr.. Swanson
was about 35 years of age and one of
the most popular men in camp. An
unusually large party attended the
funeral.
c. r. Van Marter went to Chloride
to conduct the funeral arrangements.
