Show Milford CCC Youths Doing Splendid Work On Projects i Only 16 days on the job but with work results that are truly suprising, is the accomplishment accom-plishment of the Milford camp of CCC boys. Officially designated as DG-35 and composed of Kentucky Ken-tucky youths except for a few Utah juniors, plus "local experienced experi-enced men," this camp is establishing estab-lishing a real record in the work of the grazing division of the department de-partment of the interior. In the company of Leslie C. Koch, local camp superintendent, The News editor Tuesday had the pleasure of making a first hand inspection of work done on the road up P&rowan, canyon, south of Minersville, and also of water development diversion ditches in the vicinity of Copper mountain, north of Milford. Both projects are going ahead with a speed that is remai-kable, especially in view of the fact that so many of the enrollees are completely inexperienced inex-perienced in the work to be performed. per-formed. Beginning at the south edge of Minersville town, the men working work-ing on the road project had proceeded pro-ceeded up what is known as Paro-wan Paro-wan canyon almost to the sum-met sum-met by Monday and have to their credit what will be a very serviceable service-able road that will serve a multitude multi-tude of uses for the stockmen of this section and, incidentally, reduce re-duce the distance from Minersville Miners-ville to Cedar City by some 30 miles under the roundabout route by way of Beaver. The road is being constructed to a good grade with sufficient width for all practical purposes and with all rocks removed. Several sections of this road were notorious for the abundance of rocks, many of them high centers for the ordinary car, which made the construction more difficult than others since a large portion of the rocks appearing in the road were but the points of. huge boulders which could be removed ronly by blasting. All of these have been removed from deep down and, with a little maintenance mainten-ance from time to time, this road should serve for a long time. Most of this road lies in Iron county, but, since Superintendent Superintend-ent Koch's territory overlaps the Beaver county boundaries twelve miles on both the north and the south, and the continuation of this road to a junction with highway 91 is projected for a fly camp operating op-erating out of Cedar City, the completion of the road is assured in the near future. Also in this canyon is being constructed a stock-watering storage stor-age reservoir which is expected to carry 22 acre feet of water originating origi-nating from spring runoff and summer storms. The dam, with a core of puddled clay, will be 22 feet high to the spillway 27 feet high over all. The core will be set in solid rock on both sides and the bottom, preparation for this work having been underway at the time of our visit.
