should be continued on down into the Casadepaga, as we are expect ing considerable activity in that vicinity in the near future. We have it on good authority that two dredges will be transported into that section this coming summer. The Ruby Divide needs consider able attention. and the road on thhis side of the divide also. In our opinion this road is very war ranted as soon as possible.
 That road be constructed by the way of the Kougarok River to the nearest and best point of the contemplated Nome-Shelton Tram way. distance of about 30 miles.
 That the construction of a road of some type. preferably Tram, from Keewalik to Candle has be- come imperative. as the river has become so filled with silt, that it is practically impossible to navi- gate. This year alone, there were approximately 250 tons of supplies left at Keewalik which should have been in Candle before the freeze up. If the first part of this road were constructed next summer as far as what is known as the Second Rifle on the Keewalik River, Ga distance of about a mile and q hal). it would aid the River traffic to large extent. Freighters could then meet the scows and assist in moving freight.
 Completion of the repair of the present Candle Road is necessary. A bridge across the mouth of Pat terson Creek is vital to operati above that point. The road should also be extended from it's present starting point back to the 'Keewa- lik River and tie on with the pro- posed road to Keewalik
 The construction of bridges across Bonanza and Eldorado Creek will enable teams to go out to Quartz Creek where promising develop ment work has been begun. This is\ on the regular mail trail and wilk be of considerable aid to tra- vel in general along this route.
 fhn ,NI lao ok gram of road work would cut our cost of transportation to reason able figure; increasing thereby the activities of this section and en- courage the development of large bodies of known low-grade mineral deposits.
 This is the second largest com munity on Seward Peninsula and if transportation facilities were suf- fciently improved will be develop cd into one of the leading pro- ducers for many years to come.
 That the road leading from Deering to Utica be reha abiliated and gravelled so that cars may be able to pass over it: also that inn provements from Utica to the head of the Inmachuk River be made in order to facilitate some kind of transportation.
 That road be constructed from the Pilgrim Hot Springs to con- meet with the Nome-Shelton Tram. as this would not only furnish ton- mage for the tram-line, but would also make it possible for Nome to be supplied with fresh vegeta bles during the summer season from the Hot Springs.

That the road leading from
 Council to and along Ophir Creek
 be rehabiliated and put in good
 condition for wagon transportation This road, we understand, Is in
 very bad condition and needs i'm

 left limit of Snake River, past the mouth of Bangor Creek and on to the Connolly & Jensen quartz mine on Gold Bottom Creek. This last named section carrying plenty of placer gold deposits. it is the ob- ject of the Territorial Board to get prospecting started in this sec tion once more as 1t is very inac- cessible during the winter season,
 and we feel that this trail proper ly staked will encourage prospec- tors to go there. We also reccm- mend that a grader be run along side of the permanent stakes some time during the summer season to
 knock off the "nigger-heads" and smooth the trail oil as far as pos sible without too much expense. This recommendation to apply to
 other permanently staked trails ! wherever possible. That trail be staked. with per
 manent stakes the same as above.

Psychic Life Reader
Spending Few
Days Here

Ralph Wagner, one of Americas
most fomous psychic life readers,
is spending a few days in Nogales
and is reading for many people at
his headquarters at the Montezuma
Hotel. He positively cannot be seen
after Sunday.
Wagner is the clairvoyant who
in a Reno, Nevada, paper said that
Aimee M Pherson was not dead or
had been drowned, following her
disappearance on the beach near
Los Angeles a few years ago. 1t
was Wagner, too, who predicted
the Mississippi flood, the Santa
Barbara earthquake, and Lindy's
flight to Paris. It is claimed that
he has visited more mining pro-
perties than any geologists and has
made successful forecasts on what
would be found in mines.
Wagner says that his aim in life
is to aid and assist humanity.

By the time of this years en-

officer of the Arizona National
Guard, who was here to spend

The 100000 appropriated by the

Two 1,O0O-foot holes will be
drilled in Red Mountain, ID miles
northeast of Nogales, to prove ore
values a. depth, as a result of
contract for diamond drilling let
this week by the Kino Copper Com
pany, owner of the property.
A drilling outfit is now enroute
to Red Mountain from Mayer, Ari-
zona, eight men will do the drill
ing, and actual opei ations will start
next Thursday.
The drilling will be under the
direction of an engineer named
Jensen, who, with another man,
have taken an option to buy 81 of
the Kino Copper Company's 12O
claims. Both are from Salt Lake
City.
/ On the surface of Red Mountain
where the drilling is to be done
there is an ore body of more than
400 feet width extending about one
half mile. The ore on the surface
assays about one percent. If by
drilling ore can be found that as.
says two percent Or over, it will
be one of the greatest copper pro
positions in Arizona, according ia
Mr.. Jensen, who says it is known
there is very great body of ore
but the thing to find out is wheth.
P-cr at dept5 Il assays high enough
| Mr.. Jensen says he is pretty sure
he will strike ore assaying at
least two percent by the time he
has drilled 600 feet.
The valuable Red Mountain
holdings of the Kino Copper Com
pany, located almost at the door
of Nogales, will prove one of the
greatest boosts possible for this
city, if the large ore body is pro-
ven by the diamond drilling to
contain assaying ore of at least two
percent. Such strike would be
the making of Nogales, as it would
mean the opening up of a great

gorge that has no other crossing
in 900 miles, they will gather in
the shadow of Vermillion and Echo
