Bids for clearing .the rigfyt.qf .way
{for the tpgp <4 4he Rr^uier are be
^ng of parties
.and some fcay<e .already been sub
mitted to She SUM** ^jpnagenwt.

rush the comptetioa /of tb* tfM» Of

be no unnecessary Relays. Jb*
/ight of way fs 100 fail wide end 5#
feet of the center wiii bt clMfad,
£nd all leaning trees which ffdghi
menace the tram wifl be Idled.
The distance is almost J2 miles, so
the clearing alone is no small un
dertaking.
There will be a straight ataetch
from thimine to Nine-mile, a dis
tance of about three miles. Hera
an angle station will be installed,
the next tangent being from Nine
mil* to Fish creak, a distance of
about four miles, where another
angle station will be necessary. An
other stretch of four miles will
leach the hill behind M.R. Jamieson's
residence, acsoss the Una from Hy*
tier, where a sharp turn will be
made toward the wharf, which will
be reached In about another half
mile.
The tram will cross Salmon river
twice before reaching Nine-mile and
the longest span, of 1500 feet, will
be at the upper crossing. Mose
than 45 miles of cable will be used,
the stationary, or carrying cable,
being much heavier than the trav
eling cable which hauls the buck
ets. Men will be employed at each
ofthe thru n ;ta;.oi.s to push
the buckets around. There is not
sufficient grade from the mine to
the wharf to make the tram a grav
ity proposition and a motor will ba
installed to operate it. *
Beside bringing down ore from
the miHtf At all seasons of the year,
the tram will take most of the mine
and mill supplies up. only such ma
ifcerial Qf cannot be loaded onto it
being (hauled over the road. With
the greyly increased shipping fac

men will be reqaired in joine dev
