There ta no longer any uncertainty about the proposition, the typo of paring haring been decided on and arrangement! made for the employment of on engineer who la desirous of pushing tha work aa rapidly as possible. On Tuesday afternoon of this week the inembers of the state road commission, Messrs. Peterson, Lunt end Blood end Engineer Patterson, came to Eureka for a conference , with members of the city county offloera and other, lending . business men and they brought with them a preliminary report on our paring project which had bean compiled by Mr. Knowlton, n member of the state engineering u govern-ment- - . force. Mr. Knowlton covered the whole situation quits thoroughly showing that he had spent enough time In Eureka to ; become familiar ' with local conditions and the sentiment of the business men. He unhesitatingly reoommended the black type of paving for the Eureka project end told why this particular paving was beet suited to meet , our requirements. The members of- the elty council had announced that they wore unanimously. In furor of the black type of- - paring and opposed to cement, for tha reason that It would ts work n grant hardship on the of tha camp If the street wee closed for two months or longer. The members of the board of county commleslofr-erwere Inrilnod to leave , the selection of the typo of pavement entirely to the city. Consequently the state road commission adopted tbs report of the engineer and announced that they would proceed with the work in accordance with the wishes of Enreka people. As soon as the engineer can . get out the figures the-dtend county, busl-lnterea- s under the direction of tha state road c tamlaslon, will advertise for bide for tha paring. .While it has been decided not to ask for bids on Portland cement paring, because the people of Enreka are .practically unanimous in furor of the ' other kind, there will nevertheleea bo eoi petitlre bidding as four or five Utah firm ere prepared to put down as many different kinds of the black .This mesne that the pavement. competition will be does enough to glva ns the benefit of the lowest figures on. this work and members of the state road commission hare assured local people that prices which here already been quoted In other parts of the state must govern this instance.

Mining company posted notices at their various properties stating that ell diver ore -- shipped after May 30th, which was led Wednesday, would most likely carry the foreign price. This notice wee given because Information from the U. B. mint Indicates that there ta now enough silver at tha mills end smelters of the country to replace that sold during the war. Of course definite Information on this matter will not be received for e few daya, until the figures have been compiled, but there ta no question but what there has been e veritable stream of diver going forward during tha pest few weeks. This accounts for the termination of the Pittman act price much sooner then was expected. Silver producers In nil parts of the country have been crowning operations, trying to get as much ore as possible on the market while the metal eras good for one dollar an onnee. We hive had a striking example of this in the District where train loads of Sntlc ore have been hauled out every day. EAST CROWN POINT OO.
