LoRA's LARAMIE LETTER.
In which She AlIudes TO Several Matters.

LARAMIE CITY, April l, 1873.
To the Editor Of The Leader:
1t has been some time since l last
wrote you. Laramie is particularly
dull just now-no marriages, suicides
nor murders to break the monotony.
The snow storm was a light break in
the general routine.
Business is quite dull, but probably
will improve in a few weeks, when the
spring trade opens. Several Of ouI
business men are east now, buying
their spring stocks. The mining in
terests are improving, and quite an
amount of eastern capital will be in
vested in our mines during the sum-
mer. Several stamp mills are expected
in a few days, and work will be pushed
vigorously forward. Three of our lead
ing stock men, Messrs. Rand, Stead
man and Ora Haley, are in California
and Oregon, buying cattle. The above
mentioned gentlemen expect to drive
| several thousand head of cattle through
to their ranches on the Little Laramie
as 500 as the grass is up. Mr.. Grow
bought n large herd during his stay in
Oregon, which will reach here some
time during the summer. G. ID. Mot
ley bought five hundred head of cattle
last week, and desires to purchase rs
many more.
Our ranches are in a lio%urishing OIL
dition and our ranchmen making mon
ey. l.. Fillmore has sown u large
field of wheat on his ranch at Wyoming,
and proposes 10 demonstrate the FEAST
bility of raining our own breadstuffs.
Wheat-growing might become a leading
interest in IL county, and in which
many would engage as it does not re-
quire the capital it does to start a
stock ranch. Oats can be grown, and
successfully too, as was demonstrated
by several of oug citizens last summer.
The Reading rooms now occupy the
upper story of the Odd Fellows build
ing, and are open every evening. They
are much f%requented blythe young men,
and are Il most pleasant place to spend
an evening proltably.
The weather has been very capricious
of late, any day the last week having
represented the seasons of the year
sunshine, rain, sleat, snow and wine
having followed each other in quick
succession.
Mr.. and Mrs. n. 4. Weber cele
brated their china wedding here re-
Gently. They received many handsome
and useful presents.
The infant daughter of Nj. and Mrs.
j. r. Brophy died very suddenly or
