distance of one hundred and und twenty five milea over one of the very worst roada roads imaginable although some f interest is la now being manifested and shortly they will be greatly improved kul but taking into consider lion the hardships the people have had to endure climate and ani natural condition of the country surprise is expressed that any passable roada whatever are to found the contract calls f for or a daily mail between the various set cleme n to on the route and includes a b brinch ranch running from minersville Miners ville to bearer beaver when the mines in the south were in a prosperous condition the stage lire line was a 9 paying concern but since they haie dare partially shut down business be became ca me dull the abelline tb cline has been a looser and the prospects were not of the tile brightest the contract expired on july let lot and when the tile adver solver sized for bids woolley lund and judd knowing by esperie experience lee that the route was running behind about 1030 a year put in their r bid for orion enough to cover the e estimated ti mated actual expenses toes as they did not care to co go out of f the business buB inces having about one hundred and twenty five horses a and ten coaches on their hands and would rather lose a reasonable amount than give up tip the line as it had become useful in their busi business neES aa as a
