man and others of Stevens Point. The
visitors were guests of the Chamber
of Commerce of this city during Their
stay. A dinner was served them al
the Hotel Bells, at which were in
vited a number of our citizens.
In the afternoon a meeting was
held at the court house, at which Mr.
Hirst explained the object of the hear
ing and of the routes proposed.
That which was of the most inter
est to our people was the fact that
Marathon county was to have a state
line system. AS now proposed the
| north and south route will commence
at Beloit and go to Madison, thence
to Stevens Point, Wausau, Merrill,
Tomahawk, Minocqua, Ashland, Hur-
ley and Superior.
The east and west route running
through Milwaukee, Oshkosh, Green
Bay, Shawano, Birnamwood Wausau,
Colby, Abbotsford, and Eau Claire, to
st. Paul and Minneapolis.
At the meeting it was the concensus
of opinion that the state highway run
ming north and south, should run
north from the Portage county line on
the east side of the Wisconsin river
to Wausau and north from this city
on the west side of the Wisconsin
river to the Lincoln county line The
east and west line from the east of
Clark county east to two miles south
OF Marathon, north through Marathon,
thence east to Wausau. From Wau-
sau east to the Mcintosh road, then
one-half mile south and then east to
the county line.
There was perfect harmony and
the aim of Portage, Marathon. Lin
coin, Clarke and Langlade counties
was to have the very best obtainable
routes, agreeable to all concerned, and
this was adjusted without the least
friction and it is the opinion of all
that the commission will recommend
the routes as laid out at the meeting
in this city on Thursday.
There will be 100000 expended on
the first improvement on this highway.
The trunk system will be of incalcu-
liable value to our city, to our county
and to the entire state, and especially
to the northern section where the
county in many places is being opened
up to settlers. 1t will give access
to our lands and to the pleasure
grounds in the northern part of the
state, and quick means of travel in
every direction in these days of the
automobile, 1t is expected that the
first work will be done on the high
way between here and Stevens Point.
The commission spent a pleasant
day in our city. Several of the gen
tlemen had never been here and ex-
pressed themselves as agreeably sur
prised and were loud in the praise
of it and the surrounding country.

and just as | was ready to take the
train from Rock Island a telegram

one day to the next where he will be,

Mr.. w. J. Mitchell of Mowry.
who was at Nogales Monday and
Tuesday informed The Oasis
that he is developing a manga
,nese property in the Canelo
Hills, a couple of miles north
east Of the Baldin place, in the
upper edge of the northeast
corner Of the San Rafael Valley.
He is sinking a shaft, which is
now at depth of about twenty
feet, and at that depth he is
getting out manganese rock that
goes 500, with only 5 per cent
silica. Shipped to Pittsburg,
where there is market for ore
of that character, for use in
making steel, the rock nets
about $40 per ton. Should
development demonstrate a
large body the property will
turn out of great value.
Associated with Mr.. Mitchell
are Messrs. Hazeltine and Beatty
