Harry Ellis has suggested a novel
idea regarding the economical use Of
water for trees. He reasons in this
wise: All trees have suckers at the
roots. Hence IL a sucker were pro-
vided with straws and a pail of water
1t could feed the tree economically. A
lot of water would be saved
now gees to waste in the bitches,
while the only labor involved would be
the carrying Of the pals of water.
But then an immense amount Of water
would be saved.
Some very fine specimens of silver
and copper-bearing ore have recently
been brought to Cheyenne from Lara
mic Peak. There are undoubtedly rich
deposits of these minerals near Laramie
Peak, and especially in the region of
h~eadwaters of the Bitter Cotton
wood and La Bonte. on the northwes-
tern slope Of the Peak. The prospec-
tors in that locality, we believe, win
meet with ample success this year, and
The result will be that many flourishing
camps will be established from
Laramie Peak to the Platte and from
The Platte to Rawhide Buttes.
