The races will probably draw out a
large crowd of spectators to-day.
Quite a party of Cheyenneites went
up north to visit the copper mines yes
terday.
The city cooler was entirely empty

months.
Such as have potatoes in their gar
dens have now an excellent opportunity

Blossoming noses have different

Several gentlemen were conversing
last evening IN the subject of the

made that the English army and navy

nations EXCEPT Egypt and Africa"
Real estate in this city is emphati-
cally booming and the exchanges of this
season have been unprecedented within
the past ten years. Property near the
business center has appreciated to a

desirable lots in any portion of the city
are held for prices which a year ago
would have been considered good evil
dence of lunacy.
Several of the best mining ex-
perts of the country are ex-
pected in Cheyenne en- route

a report upon which TO abandon or
carry out the plan of erecting smelling
works near these camps.
The LEADER publishes the statement
Of the Stock Growers national band in
this issue. This statement shows its
standing at the close business on July
first. We leave the public to examine
the same, but believe they will notice a
marked increase in the business of this
new bank as compared with its state
ment on May ~. We bespeak for the
Stock Growers a continued improve
ment in its intercourse with the BUSH
ness interests of this city and country.
1t is hard to appreciate how much
the present prosperous boom in our
city is due to the impetus given by a
few men Of enterprise and public spirit
who gave the city the court house,
school house, the club house, opera
house and the city water works; for it
is useless to deny that all Of these
several marks of improvement and con-
hdence in the town would have not ex-
listed as they do but for the work of a
very few individuals, seconded, to be
sure, after the ball was set rolling by
the intelligent portion of the COM
munity.
