ROAD TO RUTH OPEN
REACH SHELTER TODAY

BY tonight 1t is believed by the
county commissioners that the high
way from Ely to McGill will be OPEN
ed for travel by automobiles.
1t was open yesterday to Ruth and
Chairman Fred Clark reports that its
condition is good. He gave the or
Gers to the crew to proceed from
Ruth to Kimberly on the old Hamil-
ton road yesterday and with that
open to return by the Lincoln high
way to Keystone and thence to Ely
to start on the McGill road. II is
understood that the caterpillar and
drag reached Kimberly last night and
will start on the return portion of
the work this morning.
The outfit left here for Ruth Fri
day but when near that place driy-
ing rod was sprung and it had to be
detached and brought back for
strengthening.
The Nevada Consolidated manage
ment had drag at work two days on
the McGill road but gave 1t up after
heroic effort at about three miles
out from the smelter city. The road
as 1t will be opened will not follow
the grade all the way. Il will go
out into the sagebrush in places for
considerable distances. These will be
rough but passable.
One car came up from McGill yes
terday, making 1t in three and half
hours of hard labor with the drifts.
The road out White river way Is
in fine shape for sleighs but impassa-
BILE for automobiles.
