Az a grazing region, IL is generally
admitted by Western stock men Of
experience that Wyoming has no
equal. Its superiority consists mainly
in this, that the grass is more abund-
ant and of better quality, the win
tiers are milder and the snow falls
less in our sheltered valleys than ON
the elevated and exposed plhieaux
further south. Good water Is abund-
ant in Wyoming and the climate is
such that herds of all kinds of stock
keep perfectly healthy, and the in
e is remarkably rapid and GER
tain. Many have expressed the
opinion that the stock growing in
dustry OF Wyoming is of more inn
p%ortance to her inhabitants than all!
her gold and silver mines, rich As
they are. 1t is certain that the pecu-
culiar kind of grass found here on our
plains and hill-sides is more nu-
tritious than Ohio timothy or the
best blue grass of Kentucky. This
bunch or grarnma grass starts UP
early in the spring, reaches maturity
In June and then cures where it
stands, retaining all its nutritive
qualities and constituting the finest
autumn or winter feed for stock that
nature has anywhere provided. 1t
moi only grows in the valleys, but
covers the foothills and the bench
lands, and frequently reaches the
mountain tops, thus furnishing I'M
limited grazing throughout the year
on LANDS not available for other pur-
poses.
We know of no business, open TO
all corners, which ,tfers such solid in
ducements rs stock raising in Wyo-
ming. With good management the
risks are few and the returns are
large. Men long engaged in the bus
ineSs assure US that the profits eXceed
four per cent. a month, thus doub-
ling the capital in two years. TO
reap all the advantages of the BUSH
ness and make II fully worth an en-
terprising mans attention, it is
desirable to start with a herd costing
from five to ten thousand dollars.
Many, however, begin with less and
Eucceed well. The cuisines of wool
owing, although now in its infancy
n this Territory, is destined to be-
m a leading interest.
THE INDIAN QUESTION.
known as Treaty Indians" living
on a reservation away from white
settlements. The northeastern part
Of Wyoming is yet neutral ground,
me ioux Indians being permitted
oy treaty stipulations to hunt over
me same. 1t is expected that Con-
gress next winter will abrogate the
EXISTING treaty and confine these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The pre- -e1t policy

wyoming. Its CIIm Ute, Resources
and Attractions


The discovery of rich gold mines
in the Black Hills Of Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
~tcntion Ia 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 TO pen a reply
TO each correspondent, we will at
tempt to answer their queries coIlee-
lively by giving a generu resume of
what may be consistently and truth
fully clainffsi for our Territory.
CLIMATE. HEAITHFULNEss.
Wyoming is n Territory of i'm
menss extent and hence must have a
variety OF climate. 1t is also a
mountainous region and what is r
of the climate Of the valley and.
plains would not he true of the
higher elevations; hut, speaking gem
crafty, and with special reference to
the portions already settled and the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
without hesitation, there is not a
finer climate in the world. 1t Is per-
fec;ly healthy. the air Is dry, pure
and bTaciug; there is no malaria and
hence no ague occurs here. Wyon-
ing Is free from the extremes OF heat
and cold, the yearly average Temper
AZURE being the same as that of Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far pleasanter
than those of Illinois or P~ennsyIva-
pia. Snow rarely falls to any con-
siderable depth in the valleys, and
when it does, n warm sun or wind
usually takes il off in a dizzy 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 and productiven'ss. As
TO mining, Wyoming has rich depps-
its OF gold, silver, copper, iron, lead,
and coal. Our mines are, Of course,
less developed than those of the older
Territories, owing to the presence of
hostile indians in the richest mining
districts of this Territory. When we
nre relieved from the presence of our
red brethren, that is when the gov
eminent k measures to keep them
on their permanent reservation in
Dakota, the development OF our min
irg interests, especially in the Black
Hills and Big Horn mnuntains, will
be on a scale that will surprise the
most %sanguine-

She was a pale, sweet faced little wo-
man, and he was a great fat, red-faced
fellow, as tight as brick, and mighty
unsteady on his pins
"Be careful where you step, dearie,"
said the poor, little marital martyr
"You lemmy me lone, now. 1 guess
I know how to walk, and don't you be
talking like that to your husband on
the street." said the red bloat.
Just then the head of the family and
her lord and mastergave IL lurch which
brought his nose in contact with Il
brick wall, and he jerked away indig-
nantly from her, and tackled on down
the street. The poor, patient wife gave
us a beseeching look, as if to say
"please, sir, don't mind him."
Homeward they went, she following
with an empty market basket, for the
red bloat had gone off with the market
money, rs was his habit, and gotten
beastly drank with it.
What II home to go to, to her who Is
SO young in trouble. Think of this
great, strong, worthless ute,gradualiy
crushing the roses out Of his young
wile's cheeks, and pinching poverty
chlselng all of the beauty out Of her
fair face. When men persist thus in
being slaves to a degraded appetite,
aud the evil continues to increase, is it
not time to have state inebriate asy-
lum, where these men can be restrained
by law, and put under proper treat
ment to effect cure, instead of allow
ing them to continue to be curse To
society and their families?

THAT HORRIBLE MURDER.
The Mountain Creek Mystery.

Mr.. Ashley Pryor, bailiff, returned
yesterday morning with Rice, charged
with the murder of the negro Ruby
who was found hanging OH Mountain
creek several days ago. Mr.. Pryor
followed him up to the western portion
of Tarrant county. On liis arrival at
Jolnson's Station Mr.. Pryor tele-
graphed for help, which was sent, and
the man was brought here and lodged
In Jail. Ills care il now before the
grand jury, bat lie will hardly come up
for trial before the next term of corrt.
This murder was the most brutal aud
terrible ore ever committed in this
section of the state. The man Ruby
WAS horribly beaten, his throat cut,
and the most atrocious enormitics
practiceJ upon him. Too much credit
can not be given to Mr.. Pryor for the
courage and zeal displayed in making
this arrest under very dangerous cir
cumstances. The guilt or innocence Of
Rice is matter for the law to decide.
There is 40 doubt but that horrible
murder has been committed which has
cast foul blot upon the whole stale,
and the indications are that the fiebd-
ish malignity and blood thirsty cruelty
Of il were never surpassed.
