THE OLD NATIONAL ROAD
Reproduction of An Article From The
Republican of July II, 1895.

Republican of July II, 1895.
In The Republican of July II, 1895,
there appeared an article contributed
to It's columns by the late Charles
Brown, of Grantsville, who had re-
Gently returned to his home there af
ter an absence of several years, and
noting the decay of the old National
Road, Mr.. Brown wrote the follow
ing article which was copied by a
large number of metropolitan news
papers. 1t was also taken up by the
Scientific American at the time who
sent a special correspondent, accom-
panied by a photographer, over the
road, and the article was used with
Illustrations made from photographs
taken at the time Mr.. Browns ar
ticle was considered at the time as
being the entering wedge in making
possible the restoration of the Ma
tional Road and its present excellent
condition. The article follows:
To the Editor of The Republican.
81 have been panied and surprised
to see the decline of the National
Road, which is the great thorough
fare of Northern Garrett county.
This magnificent highway, which cost
the United States Government mil
lions Of dollars, has been so shame
fully neglected and outrageously
treated, that one feels that this wan
ton destruction and mutilation of so
great and useful public work should
be punished as felony. The road
may be repaired, but the bridges can
never be. The condition of the grand
old bridge that spans the Casselman
at the Little Crossings appeals to
every Marylander with peculiar force,
particularly those of US who remem
Der the pike in the day of her glory.
This is the largest single arch struc-
ture on the one thousand miles of
road running from Baltimore to st.
Louis. The long and massive wing
walls of this bridge have almost dis
appeared-much by wanton destruc-
ton; time, water and frost have done
the rest. The arch of this bridge is
now threatened by the planting of
large and heavy telegraph poles. The
smaller poles to be replaced have al
ready done much damage, and now if
some action is not Immediately taken
to prevent this vandalism, this relic
OF our former power and prosperity
viii be a sad and useless ruin.
Il am astonished to find so little
interest manifested for the preser-
walton of this highway The produce
OF great portion of Garrett and
adjoining counties pass over it to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1922-02-02

the bridge that spans Casselman
creek in Garrett county This is a
fine bridge, being an arch, having the
longest single span of any bridge on
the road from Baltimore to St. Lou
is. 1t is rapidly falling into a state
Of Gilapidation. The long and mas
siye wing walls have nearly disap-
peared, and the magnificent arch is
threatened with destruction.
1T is not encouraging to those who
are moving for good public roads that
splendid road, probably the best
made road of any considerable length
in the United States, is allowed by
a Maryland county to go to ruin for
lack of a little repair and care, when
it has been in effect given to it free
Of cost. Mr.. Brown talks about an
appeal to Congress and to the State,
and these failing for Garrett county
to rely upon itself The last would
be best. 1t is entirely unlikely that
the Congress will make any appropri-
alton, and it is not certain that the
Legislature could constitutionallv do
SO, even if it has the disposition. The
road is in Garrett, and is a most i'm
portant highway for the people of
that county, and they surely ought
to see to it that it goes not to ruin.
"The portion of the old highway
lying east of Cumberland was con-
structed by corporations, the stock
being principally held by the old
State banks and some by the State of
Maryland. Not long ago, after a
freshet had damaged the road and
washed number of bridges away, a
long stretch of road lying in Wash
ington county between the Conoco-
cheague and Sideling Hill creeks,
some twenty miles, was surrendered
by the company owning it to Wash
ington county. That county now
maintains it, free of toll, as one of
the public roads"

issue of July II, 1895, the Baltimore

editorial, bearing the caption "The

being as follows:
"In recent letter to the Oakland
Republican, Mr.. Charles Brown calls
attention to the condition of that por-
ton of the old national turnpike road
lying in Garrett and Allegany coun-
ties. The road was built by the fed
eral government from Cumberland
westward before the days of rail
roads, and was maintained as free
road, the government making all re-
pairs. Since that care was with
drawn, the portion of the road lying
in Maryland has been neglected, and

ruin. He calls especial attention to

market. With the exception of about
twenty-five miles in Allegany and
Garrett counties, | am informed the
road is in excellent condition. In this
age of road building when vast sums
of money are beng expended in re-
pairing old and building new high
ways, can it be possible we will al
low this heritage Of the nation ard
state, which has cost millions to con-
struct, to go to ruin and decay? This
portion of the road was in fair con-
dition until the close of the Civil War
when the wagon trains of Gen Sher-
mans army passed over it, doing
great damage. The State then threw
it upon the county, and Garrett be-
ing young and poor, repairs were i'm
possible. 1t has passed from bad to
worse.
Our present member of Congress
manifests great interest in the his
tory and Importance Of this road,
and has expressed his willingness to
aid us in any measure of relief. Our
claims are valid for Congressional
compensation. / have no doubt, if
properly presented, Mr.. Wellington
will introduce and urge the passage
of the bill.
81 appeal to the good people of
Garrett county to unite in an effort
to protect, preserve and improve this
road. If the Government refuses aid
let us apply to the State. If we are
disappointed then we can and should
help ourselves. No better investment
could be made than the repair of this
road. 1t is an actual necessity and
would greatly enhance the value of
every piece of property in the entire
county. CHAS. BROWN"

VuIdez Men JOi1, 70 Operate Mine

Developments so far conducted give evi- dence of a large ore body carrying high values.
 The new corporation is capitalized at $200,000, divided into 10000 shares of par value of $5 each. The officers of the company are Carl Amy, United States Commissioner, president; John Reinken, vice president, and D. S. Schnack, secretary and treasurer.
 The company has just completed ne- gotiations with Thomas E. Berry, for number of years with Apollo mine at Unga, and an all-around mining man and expert mill man and amalgamator, to take the position of general man. ager, and he will have entire charge of the working of the mine and mill.
 A limited amount of the stock of the company will be placed on the market at par, and it should prove a very profitable investment. ,.r

of costs of from One-half to a cent per pound. The only way shattered organizations could be revived and their efficiency increased was to raise wages, even though not strictly warranted by the present price for metal, officials point out
 Copper mining companies at the close of the war were, left with an abnormal metal surplus. Demand for the metal fell off sharply and the price dropped from 26 cents per pound the war price, to under 12 cents The majority of the mines re- ported operating losses, wages were decreased, and in the spring of 1921, the Calumet & Hecla and subsid- iaries shut down completely. The other companies continued to operate sufficiently only to keep the mines open. Production today is approxi- mately one-half of normal for the district, estimated at 11,0000 pounds per month, as compared with pre-war normal of 22,000,000.

The Reinken-Apo1lo Consolidated Mining Company is the name of cor poration formed during the present week by local men for the purpose ot taking over and operating the Apollo group of claims on Mineral Creek, and it is expected to commence operations on the property in the immediate fu- ture, says the Valdez Miner.
 The Apollo group consists of six gold quartz claims and one placer claim, the quartz claims having originally been known as the Williams-Gentzler $ claims, from their discoverers, Ralph Williams and Roy Gentzler. Sub- sequent to the discovery considerable work was done on the claims, and some extremely rich ore was devel- oped, samples of which brought to town being unquestionably the hand somest specimens ever brought in from the Mineral Creek section, where pie ture rock" is the rule rather than the exception.
 During the past summer a consider able amount of development and eX- ploratory work was done, revealing that the claims cover not only the original discovery vein, but no less than three other veins, all Of which carry the same character of ore and promise to be equally as rich as the discovery vein.
 The development work to date con- sists of 1OO-foot tunnel run in on the discovery vein, the face of which shows four feet of ore, and sample from which recently brought to town dispels all doubt as to it's richness. Ad- ditional development consists of a 2O-foot inclined shaft in the tunnel, which shows the same rich ore, con- Einues to that depth. The present foon of tho tunnel gives a vertical depth of approximately 250 feet, and this depth will increase rapidly with me lufLllcI duNdHttIlCllC ol tliC Iui- Npl. At a distance of 150 feet further the tunnel will tap another vein run ming almost diagonally across the dis covery vein, and which has sur face showing at the juncture of fully four feet Two other veins, both of which have promising surface indi cations, have been uncovered on the property. ,s
 The property is well located for the economical transportation of machin cry and supplies, and nearby is 3 stream from which can be developed power in excess of all mining needs

RUSSIA BACKS TURK
 IN EAST CAMPAIGN

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 23.-"Be- Turkey, without funds, started a war against a Greek army numbering over 100000 many foreign statesmen are convinced she is getting financial support from some source, and Russia falls under suspicion of being the most likely source," declared Colonel James ;-,-, ro1~o~~ local business man, who has just returned from Europe, where he spent several months stud"- ing conditions there.
 Colonel Rodgers, who for many years was attached to the United States Consular Service, asserted that Russia wants chaotic conditions to exist among the Balkan States in order that Bolshevism might spread. He said Bolshevism will be assisted through anything accomplished by Turkey along the line of disturbing the balance of power to the Allies in the Balkan territory.
 "Beyond a doubt Russia is bending every effort to establish her politics. continued Colonel Rodgers. "The doctrine is taking root in German cir cles, as proved by the disclosures Of the Rapallo treaty between Russia and Germany which broke up the Genoa conference.
 "It has spread, also, to the Fa" with the result that trouble is likely to break out between Siberia and Japan at any time"
 Characterizing conditions abroad ::pitiful," Colonel Rodgers declared that Russia, afflicted with political and economic unrest, is suffering the most.

METAL INDUSTRY SEES
 REVIVAL IN WAGE RAISE

HOUGHTON, Mich, Oct. 23.-The recent 15 per cent increase in wages granted employees of the Copper Range and Qunciy mining con- panies in the Michigan copper dis trict, and the announcement that the Calumet & Hecla and Mohawk and Wolverine companies would shortly readjust wages, is interpreted as an effort on the part of the min ing companies to hold together such forces as they now have and add to them if possible.
 Men have left the district in con- siderable numbers during the past few months, due to higher wages obtainable elsewhere. A crippling of mine organizations has resulted, with subsequent higher costs and lessened production. It has been the history of the district that when one or two companies increased wages the others virtually were forced to follow to D2?intair general morale.
 Mining costs still are high and earnings small Although surplus copper is steadily diminishing no sub- stantial improvement in the metal market is expected until next spring Copper has been selling recently at fl cents per pound or a fraction under. Present and contemplated wage increases will mean an increase
