Following a number of rousing !
speeches, the Twin Falls Commercial

tions favoring a systematic organiza-
ton of Twin Falls and the entire
county in a good roads movement, and
a committee consisting of d. M. Den
ton, Arthur J. Peavey, Samuel Hart,
A. n. Sprague and ]. II. Van Tassel,
was appointed to act as an executive
committee, with instructions to or
ganize a business mems excursion as
soon as possible and take a trip 10
Jarbidge, as an initial step on the
good roads movement
The plan is to encourage the vot-
ing of a million dollars of bonds an

district in the construction of a sys-
tenn of good roads throughout the

President Turner K. Hackman in
troduced ]. o. Gallice, former super
intendent of inspection of Arizona
mines, who said that in 1910, he went
| to Jarbidge at which time prospects
we're not as flattering from an engi-
neering point of view as they since
became They we're entirely satisfac-
! tory on the three weeks inspection
tour, which had just been completed.
He would not say anything specific
relative to matters which would indi-
cate the condition of definite proper
ties, but the camp as a whole was
promi ing and would be of great ben
eft in the future to the Twin Fall:
country, on account of the large bust
ness which would develop.
N. c. Titus, former superintendent
of inspection of Arizona mines, des-
cribed the economic and geological
conditions arund Jarbidge, telling OF
the difficulties experienced in locat-
ing veins exactly under primitive con-
ditions. At present it is evident that
veins of gold bearing ore, running five
miles and of great depth have beer
discovered, enough to keep the town
a big mining centre for twenty years
Now that roads must inevitably b'
built, small investors and Independent
owners will make good. However
Twin Falls people should not an
proach the subject from the angl,
that they would have to invest in Jar
bidge mines to keep up the camn
Jarbidge would take care of herself
and the people of Twin Falls coul,
get ready to supply her with wha
would be needed for the maintenance
of those working there. The charac
ter of the ore is such that many mel
will be needed to work it uD.
The engineers, who had been invft
ted bv President Hackman to remain
over to talk to the club were on thei
way to Spokane. They went to Namp
