Mr. R L Armstrong took some pains to look tip the important matter of roads while up there, and he says that the distance to Ogden by the Middle Fork route is not over twenty two miles. He feels sure that the route for Ogden to improve is the Middle Fork. The length of road that is necessary to repair is about! eight miles, about three of which are in bad condition, stones and trees having fallen into it in places and there being more or less deep gullies from washouts. This traok is an old road that has fallen into disuse and bad condition, but it would not require heavy work to make it all right again. Mr. Armstrong gives it as his positive opinion that this is the biggest show for a successful samp ever struck ic this country, and he feels confident that there is enough business assured out there now to warrant the repair of the MIDDLE PORK ROAD AT ONCE. This view corresponds with that of all who have looked over and considered this road matter, and taken with the fact that Cache county is now engaged in making a costly highway for over twenty miles to reach the camp, seems to warrant Weber county officials in going ahead without hesitation. A dis patch from Mr. W. H. Harvey, dated at JL;JJlata. Aug. II, says: THE ROAD A NECESSITY. The road to the mines is a necessity. will make the route to Bear Lake 20 miles shorter from Ogden, and makes it to drive from Ogden to Bear Eossibie one day. The fact has been demonstrated that these mountains near this camp produce float everywhere, and that rich looking prospects are numerous. This means that miners are It NOT GOING TO LET UP on this camp for at least a year, take the worst view of it you will. This, of itself, will justify Lhe road, facilitate prospecting and aid in turning up the mines. The county commiseionersshould have men at work now, and not put themselves in line with other officials, who make their constituents nervous by inaction. One thousand dollars will build the road, and it is not broad, neither is it western to pull down books on economy or halt and hesitate about what ought to be done before there is a chance for criticism to 6et in. Colorado would have lwen at work on 6uch a road already if it was in that state. WHAT PAPERS SAY. The Salt Lake City papers interview men from the mines frequently and the reports are all very favorable. Here is a specimen from the Tribuneof yesterday: Messrs. T. D. Stevenson and Willard Kay came in from the La Plata camp this morning, where they have been for the past four days. had an interview A Tribune-reportewith Mr. Stevenson in regard to the great mines. "How is the camp, anyway?" asked the Tribune man. Mr. Stevenson's face lit up as he exclaimed: "She's just whooping! Why, when we left there this morning there were 700 people in the magic city, and they were coming in rapidly every hour. Why, sir, by Saturday she will be a nourishing city of 1C00 bouIs." r VERY POSITIVE ABOUT IT.

On all sides the evidence of destruction greeted anxious eyes, and as death after death was repo t, I the awful character of the disaster was made more and more manifest. Then the news began to come from other pun - of the island. Everywhere eotse dreadful tale of suffering and loss by death was reported. No place on the island so far heard from has escaped without serious damage. It is irbiiossible yet to give anv es timate of the money value of the dam age to crops, forests, houses and The grand total will amount to ping. something enormous. Neither can it yet be told how many pr pie perished. Today it is known that two hundred and fifty men met iostant death. It is not at al1 improbable that more careful reports wi'l add still more to the names. No attempt has been made to ascertain the number inji'n 1, but the probab'''ly is that thousands received injuries more or loss serous. Efforts nre being made everywhere to repair the damcre.
