SfJMPTER, Ore, April 17. The con

good. It Is almost impossible to get a

melted from each side ofthe roads.
Persons coming in from Gelser general
ly Walk In preference to trusting to
the shaking up from vehicle convey
ance. It will take two or three weeks
to dry up the thoroughfares so that the
general traffic business can be resum
ed. There is much machinery to be
hauled to the mines as well as huge
quantities of ore to be transported to
the railway and smelter. Many pros
pectors and owners of claims are wait
ing for the snow to go off the moun
tain side so that the development and
prospect work can be commenced for
the season. AH indications point to a
. very busy spring and, prosperous sum
