Outside California, tn United States.2.... tec bw on o —J OUR STATE. HIGHWAYS LEAD. NATION That California has the most extensive highway system in the United States goes without saying. Our tourist trade runs into thousands and thousands of dollars in a year’s time and those sections of the state where the advantages have been played up by advertising certainly get the biggest part of this trade. In this section we are just beginning to realize the wonderful back country lying almost at our door. It is the good roads that have made all this possible and the consistent effort to bring to the attention of our eastern tourist the scenic beauties of our own section. This is the thing that goes toward building up those sections that are fortunate enough to have such natural resources. The following gives a ~ good idea of the present cost of good roads: That the highway dollar is being called upon to show far greater returns than ever before is definitely shown by a survey of street and highway paving and surfacing done during 1931. Analysis of reports by-The Asphalt Institute, from 48 state highway departments, 410 leading counties, 167 of the principal cities and 47 larger New England towns, shows that during 1931 an aggregate of 463,736,045 square yards of street and highway were improved beyond the stage of plain waterbound macadam and gravel roads, or the equivalent of 42,000 miles of 18-foot width surfacing. Of this large total, more than 20,000 miles, or about 48 per cent, were of the low-cost surface-treated types and nearly 7,000 miles, or about 16 per cent, of the comparatively lowcost road-mix types. Thus the than 64 per cent of the total low-cost types made up more improved. Labor receives a larger share of the dollar spent for this type of construction than from any other. 4 A study of returns from 48 state highway departments shows a significant gain in the comparatively low-cost roadmix or mixed-in-place types, even on main routes; this one type with nearly 66 million square yards showing a tremendous gain over 1930 and indicating quite clearly the efforts on the part of state highway authorities to make the highway dollar go as far as possible. WE’LL BET ON JHURMAN The libel suit filed against Editor Thurman of the Colfax Record leads us to remark that newspapers sometimes have to print things which do not please certain individuals. But in the case of Editor Thurman of Thurman. the Record we are betting on The editorial policy of the Record does not always please everybody but, in the main, Thurman is right. He hits from the shoulder and he hits hafd but he generally knows whereof he speaks. A newspaper without backbone isn’t much of a newspaper, and the editor who always trys to stay on the fence and please both sides is usually a: weak sister whom nobody respects. The Colfax Record is one of the best weekly newspapers in northern California and here’s hoping that the libel suit will get nowhere which is practically a foregone conclusion. —echange very much as time goes on. AN OLD TRICK COMES TO LIFE ONCE AGAIN Sometimes a joke is so old it is forgotten and then it suddenly bobs up as a new joke and gets over fine. The following story brings forth an old ‘trick. in the mining.. game that shows human. nature does not There’s ‘‘one born every minute.”’ A couple of prospectors went into one of the merchants’ place of business in Pine Grove Amador county recently and explained that their funds had run low, made a few purchases and offered a small quantity of placer gold, for which the proprietor gave then $107.00 Shortly after their departure the merchant became a little suspicious of the alleged gold. He had it tested, and learned that the specimens were brass and bronze. He immediately notified sheriff's office at Jackson. Investigation disclosed that the check had been cashed at a local bank and the pair of psuedo prospectors had left. A complaint was sworn to and a Warrant issued. But so far, the prospectors are still going. thet POWDER FOR MURCHIE Three shifts of 150 men are now employed at the Murchie mine. According to reports another shift will be added to the crew in the mill making two shifts in the twentyfour hour period. It has been predicted for some time that the mine would in afew months employ more men than. before it was purchased. the first of the year. : With an additional shift in the mill crew we believe they will have about ‘the same number of men employed as at the time of selling to the new company. At this rate it will not. take the Newmont Interests long to exceed the old number. This company with its immense wealth behind it has been able to put the mine in excellent shape, sink another 300 feet besides installing new machinery. A large truck load of powder to be used in mine work was delivered to the Murchie mine Tuesday by the Los Angeles-Phoenix Express company. This powder is hauled from the state of Arizona by the Newmont company that owns the Murchie mine east of Nevada. City.

PROMINENT NEVADA ‘MINING MAN FOUND DEAD Ai R: Brooke, a mining man well known in the state of Nevada as well as California, was found dead in hig bed at Reno this week, where he had resided for some time.

According to a . statement from the office of the U. S. Regional Forester, San Francisco, forest watershed fires suddenly assumed serious proportions in tne national forests on September 6. Prior to this date the acreage burned was 84 per cent less and the number of fires 25 per cent below ithe corresponding date for 1931. High temperatures, low humidity and: high winds in’ these game districts, which cover the mountain ‘hunting grounds located in the national forests of the Siskiyou, Sierra Nevada and the eastern part of the southern coast ranges, created fire hazards with the result that fire control was. difficult, and large acreages were burned. Forest Service officials believe that unléss more than ordinary care is taken by all hunters and travelers with their camp fires'and smoking, many of the deer ranges Will be devastated and other losses will result. SHANGE_ OF M CAFE FRONT ADDS TO APPEARANCE Quite an improvement was made at the M Cafe this week when the many coats of paint were burned off with a torch and a coating of sandstone looking cement was added.
