0051.0590: S. Barber, Secretary

Secretary of the Golden Lumber Company left for the coast on firm's business.

Mr. J.C. Griffith, Government agent, was a passenger on board the S.S. Duchess which went up the Columbia last Monday.  He is on a tour of inspection to examine the different wagon roads and trails leading to the various mineral properties situated in the respective districts of the mining divisions of Golden and Windermere.  The locations that have been made recently are so numerous and the development work that will be required is so great and the difficulties of transportation almost unsurmountable in some places that it is absolutely necessary if the mining industry is to progress to have good roads and trails, well maintained and well kept up.  The Government is fully alive to this fact and a considerable sum will be spent in thoroughly maintaining the present wagon roads and trails and in establishing and constructing others with the locations where the new mining properties have been discovered.
