known the rich and inexhaustible re-
sources surrounding them as what
Cheyenne has done, we have little
doubt but that thousands of men would
now be reaping a rich harvest from the
great mineral belt west of our CITY.

Ply the mines. Not only so, our people
would have a part and parcel in the
great government transportation bust

recognized by the quartermaster gener-
al of the army a a starting point for
these freights. Be this as It may, how
ever, we are glad to note an awakening
on the part of our business men, and
from the present outlook we can rea-
sonably expect a general turning of
things during the present year. l
