wyoming. Its ClIn ,te, Resources
and Attractions.
The discovery of rich gold mines
in the Black Hills Of Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
tention to our Territory, and letters
Of inquiry in relation TO the climate,
resources, etc. of our young common
wealth reach this office daily. As
we have not the time tG pen a reply
to each correspondent, we will at
tempt to answer their queries callec-
lively by giving Il general nf
what may be consistently and truth
fully claimed for our Territory.
CLIMATE. HEALTuFULNEss.
Wyoming Is a Territory Of i'm
menss extent and hence must have Il
variety of climate. 1t is also II
mountainous region and what is true
of the climate of the valley and
plains would not he true of the
higher elevations; hut, Speaking gen
erally, and with special reference 10
the portions already settled and the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
without hesitation, there is not n
finer climate in the world. 1t is per-
fec;ly healthy, the air is dry, pure
and bracing; there Is no malaria and
hence no ague occurs here. Wy0m-
ing is free from the extremes OF neat
and cold, the yearly average temper
ature being the same aS that of Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far plpasanter
than those of Illinois or Pennsylva-
mia. Snow rarely falls To any con
siderable .epth in the valleys, and
when II does, n warm sun or wind
usually takes it off in n day or two,
so that cattle have abundant grazing
the year round.
RESOURCES.
The special of Wyoming
are stock raising, mining and, in
some PORTIONS, agriculture. Farm
lands are abundant in all the valleys
and when irrigated are not surpassed
for fertility aud prOducfivrn -. As
to mining, Wyoming has rich deppS
its of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead,
and coal. Our mines arr, of curse,
less develOpetlthaH those of the al Ter
Territories, owing Ia the presence of
hostile Indians in the richest miting
districts OF this Territory. When we
