campbell, probate Judge Of
.s.. cruntv. returned this week from
lu1ns "a business trip to the Ten Mile
esher adjacent mining camps.
M s,,.r y of the trip and conditions In
@ esmns visited Mr.. Campbell said
v&terday: a. h,,sv and
..oming and visitors are impressed
r,sb ne activity both on the Golden
"a ~ the river and on the Newsome
AZ Five properties at the present
s,ne are being operated, and the work
ss1s s.,ng done is producing results which,
s''rs ! ,rsrinr A good showing at the pres
~ time and will pay large returns
- = As-future. A large amount OF the
1a.S Il being done Notwithstanding the
sssescles nresented on account Of lack
Y sccd roads and OF a bridge across
X. rlearwater. Some Of the owners
4 ~ district have had to pack In
.anIIes and heavy machinery over
ssrrow and none too good trail. Every
sh,ne going up to Golden must be
,orded over the river and as high
rster 4 year ago played havoc with
| lie old fording place, every trip across
| invites danger.
~Tbe good road question is quite as
much IN the front as q topic OF con-
,eraation among owners and promoters
/ N ina Ten Mile district as the proper
III they are promoting and putting
/ Il shape to be great wealth producers
! Il idaho county. Every road in the
dlstrlct has been built by private capt.
tal without assistance from the coun-
B 4. clear through from Newsome to
4 Golden.
i aWhat Is principally lacking now Is
! liz bridge across the Clearwater. The
4 tran down the river to Grangeville is
4 IN 4 terrible state Of repair and de-
mands attention. Part Of the trail Is
A entirely gone and numberless trees are
sc0ss Il up at the Ten Mile end. Sc
n while the owners, promoters and devel-
opers Of mines in the Ten Mile are at
81 tempting to make the properties an as
get to the county, and in the effort
are expending large sums Of money
they are wondering IL the county will
come TO their assistance in the matter
a Of good roads
80 while the visitor I'm the distric
Is impressed with the prospects ant
showings on the many good properties
they are somewhat depressed on &C
t0unt Of the conditions of the roads
This only serves as a brake up0l
progress however, and notwithstanding
the bad features and the discourage
ments five quatz properties are in tn
course Of operation and intensive dc
yelopment In the district, while sev
eral placer properties are being opel
ated with splendid returns.
"0n the New York property, one G
