If the bridge is ready in time, Capt. John Willman says that supplies ° will be brought in this -fall:and the property ' opened up and operated throughout the winter. The new company, it is said, have ample funds for the program. as . well as to wipe out all the debts. of the old company. But the new. com- pany is not going to start any work until that slough bridge has ‘been’ fin- ished and traffic can be -continuous. The whole year has been. lost thus, and so for as the company is concerned, a month or so will:make. no difference te them:* SAE That Copper. river ‘tough bridge has also prevented Fred “Wells: developing the Dardenelles group farther . along the range and these things have been a serious handleap to the entire dis- trict. The latest report regarding ‘the bridge is that it should be ready to use this week. Good progress has been made and all the difficult parts are already finished.
