The Emmett Index July 10, 1902
Surveyors Back from the Mines

THE ROUTE WILL NOW BE SELECTED AND CONTRACTS LET FOR WORK AT ONCE

Engineer J. M. Clark, of the Idaho Northern, Con Dewey, and Ira Hamilton of 
Nampa, and E. E. Stanley of this place, returned yesterday from Thunder 
Mountain, for which place they started three weeks ago to survey the wagon 
road from Emmett to the mines. Mr. Clark had nothing to say for publication 
until after he made his report to General Manager E. H. Dewey at Nampa, but 
stated that the trip had been perfectly satisfactory.

Mr. Stanley, who accompanied the party with a view of bidding for a contract 
on the road, stated that they had found two or three very satisfactory routes. 
He could not tell which would be selected, but the party encountered less 
difficulty in locating the road and lower mountain passes than was anticipated.

Mr. Stanley is prepared to bid on any part of the road and will leave for 
Nampa today for that purpose. He says that if awarded a contract he will put 
on the biggest outfit on the works. He said they found lots of people in camp 
but that it would be hard to estimate the number as everyone was on the move.
