The importance of this matter has been pointed out by H. S.

Vincent, superintendent of the Portland Mining company, who has been to considerable expense and trouble in devising pian by which the work may be accomplished at a very moderate cost. The deplorable condition of the road, as it now stands, is obvious anyone who may have occasion to travel between Deadwood and Portland, by way of Dead wood gulch. There are places on it where the grade is as high forty-five per cent, and at some points it is so located that in the winter months it lies for weeks buried in several feet of snow, owing to the fact that It has been built along the south side of the canyon and consequently shaded constantly from the sun.

For a time the wound appeared to be healing, but about a month ago, it broke open and hemmorhage followed, resulting in the loss of such a quantity of blood that it was feared he would die.

For a time after that he appeared to improve, until blood poisoning set in weeks ago. The deceased has been a resident of Deadwood for the past twelve. years, having come here with his parents and several brothers, from HIll City, to which place they had Immigrated from England. His father died several years ago. Ben Was twenty-eight years of age and has been employed as a teamster and at various other occupations, while residing in the First ward.

He le survived by his mother and four brothers; Robert, who removed to SanDiego several months ago, and William, Edward and Henry of this He was a member of the Fountain City Hose company and the funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon in the parlors of that company at 2:30 o'clock. FOUND HANGING AT POOLE'S PARK Those who saw Henry Swander leaving Central on Thursday, Nov. 17th, carrying a rope, and surmised from this action that he was contemplating suicide, were not amiss in their conclusion. His body was found about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, hanging from the limb of a tree, in the timber on the outer edge of Poole's park north of Central, by William Trenbath, who had gone into that section of the country for a load of wood. The body was in a fair state of preservation, owing to the -fact that it was frozen, but both ears and the cheeks were somewhat mutilated, evidently by magpies that had perched on the shoulders of the corpse.

The body, after being examined by the sheriff and coroner, was cut down and taken to Central, where the funeral which will take place from the home of his mother, Mrs. O'Brien, will be held, at a date to be nounced today. Two notes, probably written by Swander shortly before he took his life, were found on the body and were taken possession of by the coroner, who has not made their contents public. There is no doubt in the minds of those who were familiar with the actions of the dead man for several weeks before disappeared, that he was deranged. well up above the high water mark of floods and, at no point will it have grade of more than eight per cent.

This, he estimates can be ACCO mOpl'abed at a maximum outlay of 500. In addition to this, the proposed route will shorten the distance between Deadwood and Portland by about two and a half miles, making it approximately six miles. The importance of this improvement, especially to the merchanta of this city, who do business in and about Portland cannot be over estimated and this importance promises to 500n become even greater, in view of the prospect of more extensive mining operations in that district! in the very near future. The construction of this road up Deadwood gulch would probably not end when more convenient entry into Portland had been established, as there lies beyond that point county to which a much more direct route would be opened up. By extending the road along the ridge to the head of Johnson's gulch, down which it could be carried to Spearfish canyon, forming a short and servicable route between Deadwood and the most popular place of summer resort in the Black Hills.
