REV. J. Y. CowHICK,

when a town gets a start in
a new country" said the Rev. Dr..
Cowhick, cit generally holds it.
A mining town starting up, in the
neighborhood of an old place,
always helps the latter, for people
do the business of mining in one,
and make their residences, edu-
cate their children, spend their
money, and adorn their homes in
the other. Contracts arc made
and as far as possible carried out
in the older place, The larger
amount of wealth goes to the
town that has the start. We see
it illustrated in the cattle business
and in our neighboring town of
Denver. My honest conviction is
that to Cheyenne will accrue the
benefits of a new mining district
to the north of US. The only
drawback 1 see to the growth Of
the city is the want of water. But
money will bring about some
means of supplying it. If no
other plan were feasible, Mr.. Pro
vines plan of directing the course
of the Laramie river in this direc-
ton could be carried out. That,
l understand, he calculates could
be done, for 100000. That gold
will be ultimately discovered near
here / have no doubt, but of course
no one can say in what quantities.
Crow creek shows its color. Fruits
and grains, it is my impression,
cannot be raised successfully in
this neighborhood. Oats do well
in exceptional localities. There is
no lack of richness in the soil, but
the climate is unfavorable to the
full growth of the cereals. The
hail storms are Il bad feature here
in the weather. But root crops
may be very successful. There

who a few years ago bought a

me Country Boy from Home.

There comes a time when the country
lad grows weary OF the prosaic surround
ings of his life. The old homestead looks
small and cramped up. He longs for the
freedom Of the world. He takes his fath-
ers hand in a goodbye, kisses the trem-
ulous lips OF his mother, stroIls down by
the n%eighboring farm house and takes an
awkward but loving farewell of his sweet
heart, and takes the first accommodation
train for the city.
Here he will learn the secrets of bust
ness life crown his labors with 4 fortune
in about a year and a halt, and retiring to
the haunt of his youth, bring forth the
hand-maiden of his heart to surroundings
fitted for her wonderful goodness and
sweetness. So he thinks.
Arriving at the goal of mis- ambition he
is charmed and delighted blocks on blocks
of fine houses, the hurley-burIey of the
enormous traffic Of the streets, the brilliant
show windows, all tend to fill his eyes with
wonder and his heart with enthusiasm.
He enjoys himself hugely. Night comes,
and after a brief view of the brilliancy of
the streets by gaslight, he leisurely finds
his way to his boarding house. He half
way remembers thath he has forgotten some
thing, that the cows are not MIXED, or
wood for the kitchen fire brought in, but
the confusion of sights he has seen has
tired out his receptive brain, and lie weari-
ly tumbles into bed. The moment his
body touches the easily-yielding spring
mattress he is wide awake; the strange
ness of his surroundings and the slowly
dawning truth that he is among strangers
seems to pry open his eyelids and keep
them open. He grows more wakeful, the
curious sounds that he hears put hin on
the alert lest some foul deed of violence is
being committed in the next room. and he
find everything all right.
He wonder if his father and mother are
talking of the temptations to which he is
exposed If Jennie is dreaming of him
with the last rosebud he gave her under
her pillow. He somehow begins to feel
that he is out of place, and if he could on
ly see the old black cat asleep at the foot
of the bed he would be treasured.
At the first gray streak of dawn he
arises, as has been his habit. Not a soul
stirring, except now and then an early
milk-man, and he would give his old boots
If he were on a milking stool at that min
ute. As he looks out of his window tho
sun rises plump out of the northwest and
looks upon him as coldly as if it really did
come from that corner. This is too much.
A solitary tear trembles on his eyelid, and
before he knows it he is hard at work at
n crying match. He goes upon the street
again, and sees not a face that he knows.
He buys n ~second-class ticket for home and
remains the joy and comfort of the old
folks, and when they die takes Jennie and
both the farms, and never goes to the city
again except to sell garden-truck.

E. S. N. MORGAN.

Territorial Secretary Morgan
spoke upon the subject as follows
81 am not a mining expert; but
Montana on our north, Idaho on
our west, Colorado and Utah on
our south, have been proven to be
first rate mining territory. We
have the same ranges of noun
tains, and the same formation in
Wyoming hat Colorado and the
territories of Utah, Idaho and
Montana have, and 1 nm satisfied
the mines are as good. Wyoming
is comparatively new, being or
ganized in 1869; our first settlers
finding the stock growing business
to be largely remuneratiye, en-
gagged in it. 1t grew year by year
upon them, and occupied all their
time, they making money as rap
idly as could be desired. There
was no inducement for them to
engage in mining or any other
business. People from the east
seeking their fortunes went with
the rush to Colorado and other
localities, passing Wyoming by
without examination. a change
is at hand, To interest foreign
capital our people must demon
strate that we have good mining
properties. This has recently
been done in several localities, and
grand solid mining boom for
Wyomingis at hand the erection
of a smelter at Copperopolis or
Hartville is a large factor in pro-
this result. | have no
fears for the future prosperity of
Cheyenne; the growth and ad,

A CONSERVATIVES VIEW.

Soon after his arrival in town
on Friday evening, Hon. F. f.
Warren was met by one of the
LEADER force and asked to impart
his views on the topic in question.
He said
81 have just returned from the
ranch, and having been absent
about ten days, | have lost the
'un of the news. | have not even
yet heard whether Prof. Farish's
report of his assays has been
favorable. But, set that aside
and let us look at the situation
from another point of view. Look
ing only at the negative side, what
has Cheyenne and the territory to
lose-what loss can they suffer
that wouldbe detrimentalto them?
Is the development of the territory
thus far of such a character a S can
be easily wiped out; or, is it such
as to insure permanency? The
answer is hat the cattle interest,
whatever disaster might overtake
1t, Is a substantial one, in which
many men have made fortunes.
The territory has ample room to
Craze a very much larger number
of cattle than it now has, and the
herds will doubtless be rapidly
increased. In Cheyenne there is
every evidence of stability in bus
mess. There are no empty dwell
ling houses to indicate the de-
parture of people who have failed
here to make a livelihood. There
have been few who have made
that failure of late years. There
is not a single business house in
Cheyenne which represents q
mushroom growth or the venture
of somebody squatting down foI
a time with a stock of goods and
intending to go away as soon as ii
don't pay to stay or as soon as
another and newer place promises
better. Here are two daily news
papers well established. Their
continued existence is an indica.
ton of the settled prosperity o.
city. The causes which have
contributed to build up the Chey.
enne Of to-day, differing altogether
from the Cheyenne of old times
will perpetuate it, and, moreover
they promise for it a sure anc
steady growth. Whatever comes
from the mines will be SO much
more gained. This new countr,
affords possibilities that cannot be
measured"

HON. NJ. E. POST.

Hon. M. E.. Post, delegate to
congress from Wyoming, was
asked the question
"Mr. Post, what effect will the
development of the mines in the
Hartville district have on the for
tunes of Cheyenne?"
GA beneficial one, undoubtedly.
Business men of Cheyenne will
establish branch houses there, and
this city will remain the distrib-
nting centre. Even if a railroad
is constructed to the northward,
as it will be in time, Cheyenne
has nothing to fear. Credit is a
great factor in the problem. Men
doing business in all this part of
the territorywill look to Cheyenne
for credit. They will form the
habit of dealing here, and that
habit will be kept up. The mines
will bring people here engaged In
occupations connected with min
ing, and the men working at the
transportation of the product of
the mines will make business.
This smelter is only the beginning
of the development of Wyoming's
resources. 1t must be remem-
bered that the men whose business
it is to mine have been profitably

WHAT MR.. CONVERSE SAID.

Hon. A. r. Converse, president
of the First National bank and
and also president of the Converse
Cattle company, when invited to
give his views on the subject, said:
81 was one of the party at Hart
vile when Prof. Parish made his
examination of the lodes there. |
have had but little experience in
mining, but am satisfied that the
examination was a thorough one
and that the result will be the
getting out of a sufficient guam
tity of ore to run a smelter so as
to pay for a good while. More
than that, the mining men [ saw
at Hartville were of one mind as
to the existence of silver deposits
in the neighborhood."
"How will Cheyenne be affected
by the building of a smelter at
Hartville?"
"Why, there will be need at
once OF the employment of quite
a number of men to haul the
material for the smelling works
to Hartville. AS soon as the
smelter is built, coke must be
carried from here to the smelter,
and the product of the smelter is
to be brought to Cheyenne. These
people will bringabout some bust
ness, but that is not all. How
far down the paying quantities OF
copper in the mines now to be
opened will reach no one can say,
but a beginning once made will
attract the attention of miners.
Prospectors-men who are pros.
pectors by trade-will 60 all
through that district, and they
will unearth whatever wealth is
to be found there"
"Mr. Converse, how do cattle
men view the prospect of other
interests being developed in the
territory"
"Who are venturing into other
interests but the cattle men? There
is room enough in this territory
for every interest and for men
following all occupations. We
will be glad to see them come.
But all other branches of business
compared with cattle raising are
yet in their infancy, and it is too
early for the question of opposing
interests to be raised. If | had a
good prospector l would start him
out on a prospecting tour myself"

The Age OF Coal.

NJ. Simonin, the celebrated mining en-
gineer of France, in an interesting lecture
on coal before the Societe des Panoramas
Populaires, Paris, observed that the origin
of coal is due to the deposit of tropical
plants and ferns-in fact, the virgin forest,
acted upon by heat and pressure, compress
ed, calcined, carbonized. In the middle
ages as wood became dearer coal was EN-
ployed by degrees. The first railways were
laid in England for the carriage of coal
first, angle iron served as railways, then
fiat bars, and ultimately the modern rail-
way bars. The production of coal by the
whole world is 300,000,00O tons, which at
the rate of S1.75 a ton, the average value
at the pits mouth, represents about $780,
100000 or three times the value of all the
silver in the world. OF this quantity Eng
land produces one-half, and the United
States 5O,O00,000 tons; hen in order of
their output come Germany, France and
Belgium. China will produce more coal
than England as soon MS all her rich de-
posits are properly worked. 1t is calculat-
ed that all the coal in the world will be ex-
hausted in 0 to 1000 years; but before
that time the suns heat, which originally
produced the coal, will probably, judging
from the success attending NJ. MonchOt's
effort in Algeria be used direct as the mo-
tive power.

HISTORY,

The Platte canyon, or as is more
Familiarity known, the Hartville
mining district, was first brought
to notice in March, 1881, when
Messrs. Miller and Allen freight
ing through that section discov-
cred what has since been known
as the Green Mountain Boy, and
the rich ores of which first adver-
tised and made the section of re-
putation. Messrs.. Dickson and
McGregor purchased a half inter
est in the mine at once and under
their direction it has been paying
property from the first.
When this discovery became
generally known there was arush
for the new regions at once, and
the ground was thoroughly staked
off with claims and extensions,
until the fever of this excitement
subsidized. Matters were quiet
again until the few ~persevering
ones who had staid by the camp
and worked, found other claims
vying in the richness oftheir ores,
with the Green Mountain Boy
ores which were unprecedentedly
rich in copper and easily worked.
Then attention was again attracted
toward the district, and capital af-
ter a thorough examination will
be invested in the properties, and
a booming camp begins.
New discoveries r being fire.
quently made both in the Platte
and the Whalen canyons, and
ownership is changing constantly,
however prominent in the his
tory of the camp were the
Green Mountain Boy, Dickson,
McGregor & Co.. the Sunrise,
Nondon & Eaton, Umpire Sparks
Bros.,) Phil Sheridan, (Conly &
Canady,) Village Belle Bartlett &
Co.. and others.
The erection of the smelters has
given all these claims a value far
beyond ordinary prospects, and
the miners in the camp are feeling
on the top shelf.

VARIOUS PHASES.

Hon. w. w. Corlett, late dele
gate to congress from Wyoming,
stated his views on the result of
the establishment of a smelter
very clearly, and in the curse of
a conversation on the subject of
Wyoming's growth discussed
many aspects of the question:
81 have long believed" he said,
"that the Hartville district has
more value in it than any yet de-
veloped in the territory. Col.
Rabbit represents such interests
as to render it highly important
he did not deceive himself in his
examinations. 1t is also of great
Importance to the country hat the
mines developed should be per-
manent. If they prove to be such
the early of Wyoming's
mining interests are assured. l
do not agree with the opinion that
the new town, to be built in case
the Hartville mines turn out to be
all that is hoped of them, will be
an injury to Cheyenne. L feel
that it will be tributary to this
city, as a matter of course, SO long
as there is no railroad. After
that much will depend upon the
people of Cheyenne. 1t will be
the fault of the business men of
this place if the town does not
hold its own and push onward.
If trade can be held with Hart
vile as it was with the Black Hills
until the latter place found a
quicker outlet for its product and
trade, money will be made. The
sort of town which will be estab-
lished on the Platte will hardly
interfere with Cheyenne. would
like to see a smelter located in this
city. This step is only a small
one toward great developments.
These mines will attract miners
who will help develop the terrific
ry, and eventually other men will
follow who will pursue other
methods of gaining a livelihood.
AS to farming, there are districts
in the territory especially the
Wind River Valley-where farm
ers will surely succeed. But as
compared with the area of the
whole, that part which can be de-
voted to the raising of grain, un-
der present system of work, at
least, is small. 1 cannot speak
sanguinely of the whole, or the
greater part of the territory being
devoted to agriculture. look to
mining operations with far greater
hope. The cattle Business has
done great work in its way. 1t
has made many men wealthy, and
has done much to promote the
welfare of Cheyenne. There may
be something in the idea hat the
cattle interest will not encourage
the coming of farmers, but the
territory is large, and the contin-
gency of seeing the two interests
antagonistic is a remote one"
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-08-13

its to the north of this could then
be worked. But the interest of.
the men controlling the works
would be located here. Banking
must be done here, this place
offering the greatest facilities.
81 say that there is a great deal
of land in the territory calculated
to grow the small grains, and that
the climate is suitable for their
growth. No doubt the farming
interest will increase as time goes
on. 1t is true that, so far as the
present Situation is concerned, the
stock men occupy the bottom
lands of rivers. But they are
only grazing there, and own little
land. When any one wishes to
buy 100 acres from the govern
ment he can do so. Thus the till
able land will pass into the hands
of farmers. AS to cattle raising
being a monopoly, it is not so in
the of crowding out any
other industry. 1t has taken pos
session of this country under a
law prevailing in all new coun-
tries. The history of the world
gives us, first, in a new country,
the r of the nomadic population
then the pasturing era, and then
that of farming generally. You
cannot expect to see this remain
a region given up to pasturing.
But here the cattle interest has
yielded sc richly that there is il
the territory 1000 to every per
son in it.
"This territory has every quail
ification to become a self-support
ing state, that is, to produce wha
it consumes. 1t will raise its OWL
provisions and all its own materia
for clothing, except cotton. |
has coal and iron to use as mean
of production. Ultimately thi
country will support itself"
