The discovery of rich gold mines
In the Black Hills Of Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
tcntion to u 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 Il reply
to each correspondent, we Will at
tempt to answer their queries coliec-
lively by giving IL general resume of
what may be consistently and truth
fully claimed for our Territory.
CLIMATE. HEALTHFCLNEsS.
Wyoming is a Territory OF i'm
mcnse extent and hence must have a
variety of climate. 1t is also Il
mountainous region and what j. rue
of the climate Of tue valley and
plains would not lie true of the
higher elevations; hut, speaking gen
srally, 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
fectly healthy, the air is dry, pure
and braciug; there is no malaria and
hence no ague occurs here. Wyom-
ing Is free from the extremes OF heat
and cold, the yearly average temper
ature being the same as that of Ohio
nnFl InsltaRn llnH NH.fVaNnr n -
usually warmer aud far p%IraSantcr
than those of Illinois or Pennsylva-
mia. Snow rarely falls to any con-
siderable tepth in the valleys, and
when ii does, a arm SUI or wind
usually takes il off in a day or two,
go that cattle have abundant grazing
the year round.
RESOURCES.
The special resources 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, -. As
to mining, Wyoming has rich depus-
its of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead,
and coal. Our mines are, of course,
less developed than those Of the oil Ter

RAISING
AS a grazing region, it is generally
admitted by Western st0ckmpu OF
experience that Wyoming has no
equal. Its superiority consists mainly
in this, that the grass is more abuud-
ant and of better quality, the win
tiers are milder and the snow falls
less IN our sheltered valleys than on
