The matter of the improvement of the road from Joe Bar to the nilnr in still "hanging fire. ThV forest service has a force of men at work Improving their share of the road, but' the supervisors of Siskiyou county are marking time, evidently waiting for Jackson county to make tho first move. The road is in Hlsklyou county, and collect taxes for the mine, now. amounting to about $700 a year. If the mine was in operation their tax account would be consid erably boosted. Until the property disintegrated, they received about $500 a year In taxes. They now report they only havo $100 on hand for the Improvement of the road. , They fool that inasmuch as Med ford and Jackson county would be the chief beneficiary of tho mino's operation, this portion of the body politic should bear the road repair costs. A precedent for; the county court to repair the rond was ostab llshed by County Judges , Prim, Nell, Tou Velle, and Gardner. The county court expects to make a trip to the road and bIzo It up, when the weather clears. It will take close to $200 to put the road in shape for heavy haul ing. A forco of men under the direc tion of Krlck Anderson, nre now engaged tn repairing tho cflblns and buildings at the mine, and wnging war on wood rats, which are plentiful, and very active. To extcrminata tho pests, a large quantity of strychnine was distrib uted which the wood " rats de voured, without the expected dis astrous results. According to Mr. Andet'Hon, the alleged poison only msde them gayer by day, and in creased their cavortlngs at night. Tho workmen then took shotguns nnd opened fire, lessening the wdodrat population considerably, and have discarded poison as an exterminator. . Dr. L. K. Inskeop. advised of tho situation, suspects that the potency of the strychnine was not up to par. or the woodrats exceptionally hardy. IT ll? ' DEFEAT STATE TEAM KL'GKXK. Ore., April 20.
