OF establishing twelve-months-a-year
road into the liyecamp OF Jarbidge in
northeastern Nevada. Large forest
reserves in the vicinity are infiuenc-

additional revenue to the nation. A
report says:
The camp is now becoming so i'm

accessibility is growing to point
where steps must be taken at once
by officials or the mining operators
will build road themselves. and in
doing so they will take the route that
Is easiest for them to build.
THE road, if built by the mining
