vile.

Ed. A. Long, one Of the well known
young mining men of the Marshall
Lake section, was an arrival In the city
this week from that camp, having been
compelled to come to the county seat
ON urgent business In conversation
with the Globe reporter Mr.. Long ex-
pressed himself quite forcibly on the
condition of the roads leading to that
rich mining region. Mr.. Long is q
nephew of County Commissioner John
ID. Long.
Like others of this district, Mr..
Long would prefer getting his supplies
here but the roads from Marshall Lake
leading to this place are in a neglected
condition, and as he states there seems
to be such an awful lack of interest
on the part Of the authorities and bust
ness men, here, that the trade of that
rich region continues to go to the
towns of Warren ana Mccall. This is
the terminus Of the state wagon road
through Florence to Warren, and at O
comparatively small expense it could
be put in condition for auto trucks that
could make the trip to the mines in one
day, thereby giving this country the
benefit Of that trade. This is not a
visionary idea at all, for without the
road being repaired, car made the
trip to Florence the past summer.
With little effort on our part and
the willing assistance of the miners of
that camp the road would be available
for heavy traffic at least four months
in the year, and of untold benefit to
this city
Activity in the Marshall Lake dis
trict continues at the usual rate as the
winter has been unusually mild.
At the Mt. Marshall mine the man.
agement is working nine men on the
crosscut at the end of the 2400 foot
tunnel and expect to encounter the
ledge at any time, when their long
quest will he crowned with the success
they so richly deserve
Mr. Holt and his partner have a
bond on the Chris Arnold property
which has five leads from 2 to feet
wide opened up with fine showing
on all Of them.
HinksOn 4 Bishop have their mill
running on $4,000 ore and are well
satisfied with their property. Like
most of the locators in the camp they
have had no backing or outside help
and have made it alone
Dan Roy. one of the old timers In
the camp. is steadily developing the
lower claims for himself and partner.
Sam Gerber. The ore averages $4,000
per ton, practically on the surface
Dunn 4 Loper are driving in on their
l30-foOt tunnel and have two and one
half feet " ore that goes $50 on the
surface. They have three fine leads on
this property.
Over ON Maxwell creek. where some
of the richest float in the camp was
found by the early prospectors, the
Brunton Bros. have their mill complet-
ed and are ready to grind out the vel
low metal.
J. b. Mdridge. representing New
York capital, has Il bond ON the Gold
Nugget, on east Maxwell. located by
Miles Howard, Brent Reeves and Frank
and George Hendryx. He Is also hand
ling under bond for the same parties.
the Summit and Triangle claims belong
ing to Ed Long. They intend doing
600 feet of development work on the
claims in the spring. Mr.. Long having
completed a contract for them, may
have charge of the new work Also If
he isn't called to serve his country in
another capacity
when Mr.. Long came out there was
only about three feet of snow on the
level. while the drifts were around
fifty feet deep on the high points. But
that is light considering the elevation.
which is about $500 feet.
