As a grazing region, ii is generally
admitted by Western stocknIen 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 wiz.
tiers are milder and the snow falls
less in our sheltered valleys than on
the elevated and exposed plnteauX
forther south. Good water is abund-
ant in Wyoming and the climate j.
such that herds of all kinds of stock
keep perfectly healthy, aud The in
crease is remarkably rapid and GER
tain. Many have expressed the
opinion that the stock-growiag in
iustry OF Wyoming is of More inn.
portSnce TO her Inhabitants than AL.
her gold and silver mines, rich a.
they are. 1t is certain that the pecu-
euliar kind of grass found here ON u
plains and hilI-sides is more nu-
tritious than Ohio timothy or the
best blue grass of Kentucky. This
bunch or graInma grass starts up
early in the spring, reaches matu rity
In June and then cures where il
stands, retaining all its nutritive
qualities and constituting the finest
autumn or winter feed for stock that
nature has anywhere provided. 1t
not only grows in the valleys, but
covers the foothills and the bench
lands, and frequently reaches the
mountain tops, thus furnishing un-
limited grazing throughout the year
on lands not available for other pur-
poses.
We know of no business, open to
all corners, which pffers such solid in
JUDGEMENTS as stock raising in Wyo-
ming. With good management the
risks T 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-
ing the capital in two years. TO
reap all the advantages of the bust
ness and make it fully worth an en-
lerprising mans attention, ii is
desirable to start with a herd costing
from five to ten thousand dollars.
Many, however, begin with less and
gueeeed well. The bushes of wool
owing, although now in its infancy
this Territory, is destined to be-
N a leading interest.
THE INDIAN QUESTION.
The Indians in Wyoming are
known as Treaty 1Indians,' living
or a reservation away from white
srttIements. The northeastern part
oi Wyoming is yet neutral ground,
me ioux Indians being permitted
oy treaty stipulations to hunt over
me same. IL is expected that Con-
ereSs next winter will abrogate the
listing treaty and conine these
ttuiians to their present reservation

) each correspondent, we will at

lively by giving a general resume of
THAT may be consistently and truth
hlly claimed for u Territory-
CLIMATE HEALTHFULNESs.
Wyoming is a Territory of i'm
menss extent and hence must have a
variety of climate. 1t is also a
mountainous region and what is true
Of the climate of the valley and
plains would not lie true OF the
higher elevations; but, speaking gen.
snlIy, and with special reference TO
the portions already settled aud the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
Without hesitation, there is not a
climate in the world Ii is per-
fecily healthy. the air Is dry, pure
and bracing; 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
AZURE being the same as that of Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far pleasanter
than those OF Illinois or Pemsylva-
Mis-. Snow rarely falls to s,IA- con-
Siderable depth in the valleys, and
when il does, a warm sun or wind
usually takes il off in a day or two,
so 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
aud when irrigated are not surpassed
for fertility and prOduetiven, -. As
to mining, Wyoming has rich depOs-
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
are relieved from the presence of our
red brethren, that is when the gov
eminent takes measures to keep them
on their permanent reservation in
Dakota, the development of our min
ing interests, especially in the Black
Hills and Big Horn mountains, will
be on a scale that will surprise the

TROTTING AT THE HIPPODROME.

AT the matinee at the Hippodrome yesterday
TWO trotting contests came oil, the first being for
q purse OF $225, divided into four parts, mile heats,
Tor which there were five entries all OF them
coming to the post when called for. These were
John Murphys bay gelding Pilot, Ben Maces bay
gedng Longiellow, Dan Mace's bay gelding Buffalo
Bill, John Rogers bay mare Bessie and Jonn Has
letts sor1el gelding TIP. There was no betting ON
the result. Pilot won the race in short rubber,
Longielow second Buffalo Bill third.
The second race was q match for 5000, mile and
repeat, between L. c. Miller's sorrel gelding Dan
Miller and John Haslett's bay gelding Sherman.
This race was won in TWO stra&ht meats Dy Dan
Miller The pool seller being away there was no
betting on the match, and 1t was very lucky that
the seller was not there, as much money would
have been lost on Sherman, many people being
under the impression that he can beat Dan Miller
or any other horse race OF II mile or two-mlle
heats ut this place.
The attendance at the matinee was good, as
there were people enough IN the building to have
filed any theatre in New York; yet still there
so many vacant seats the Hlppodrome that it aid
