A meeting was elled by tho Pine creek

and a full attendance of all those interested
in the road, was requeued. Tho time ar

the ball, but not nno'her man made his ap
pearance. Now, we have this to nay, that
the roiut is not completed by any means,
and the amount already subscribed is about

valley desire to connect themselves with
that portion of the road now bein: built by
the state, and which will be finished in n
few weeks, they will have to wake up and
take some action in the matter. Tliu com

.say that our prcoiioeived notions of this
gentleman, and the ideas which we believe
nro entertained of him by many in thi

We were shown this week, by Mr. M, R

ton, and the latter from $i"l. to t.r0. to the
ton in gold. Tho snow has been too deep
for much work to be done on the mines as
yet, hut operations will commence now
that the snow is about all gone, and the
mines will be developed as rapidly as ponsi
