Mr. IVoak has even gone so far:1"" yet tshown their hands or their

matter. It Is now up to the com

making the needed repairs on the
Bonanza highway from Millers flat

The road work that will be per-

its inception with a post at the!

to what Is known as McKay City,
seven or eight miles the other side
towards Dry Lake. This post would
be the logical place to leave the

I tinulng along that course all cross
I ridges would be eliminated. Simple
dragging would be sufficient, with
travel, to make it a good road. The
total distance measures 17 miles.
Now that the Bonanza highway
from Reno to Tonopah, has been
designated a state highway, and has
been officially named, prompt action
is essential at this time- Mineral
county is alive to the situation, as
by establishing the proposed road,
It will throw that road and also that
portion of the Simon road between
Bettles Wells and Mina into the
state highway, thereby giving Min
eral county call on the state for up
keep of the road, which would other
wise be at county expense Naturall
ly It will be to the advantage of
Mineral county to drag this new road
clear through to Crow Springs road
and get It established before the
state starts work on Summit Springs.
As an Inducement to hflve the
Mineral county commissioners act
promptly, Mr. Boak has agreed to
sign-post the road and divert the
travel just as soon as it has been
dragged. He has also agreed to
flag this end of the route to Dry
Lake.
