UNDERWOOD's THRIFT.
What Energy and Application to
Business Have Done.
One of The Finest Grocery Houses
In The City.

cheyenne is a city Of self-made men.
Every man here that has been engaged in
legitimate business, and attended to it
strictly, has now a good competence, IL
not a comfortable fortune. No better
illustration of this statement can be found
than the success Of the Underwood
Brothers, the well known grocerymen.
The senior member of the firm, A. Under
wood, came to this city in 1870 and opened
a small grocery store on Eddy street with
A. G.. McGregor. Two years later they
moved into the store now occupied by Mr..
McGregor. Two years ago the partner
ship was dissolved and Mr.. Underwood
opened a grocery opposite the City Hall
Shortly afterwards he was Joined by his
brother, and the firm has since been IN
derwood Bros.
Sometime last Summer the Knights Of
Pythias. G. P. Justus and A. Underwood
determined to tear away the dilapidated
buildings on Seventeenth street and erect
a building which should be an ornament
to the city. How well they succeeded
everyone knows, for the K. of P. block
is too well known to need description.
The store occupied by Underwood
Bros. has a front of twenty-five feet and q
depth of about one hundred feet. The
windows are of fine French glass, and the
interior is handsomely finished in pine
stained to initiate cherry. The store is
divided into two apartments, separated by
folding doors. The front is used for
canned goods, fruits. staple and fancy
groceries. All goods which they handle
are strictly first class. The canned
goods embrace those of California and
the Erie, Niagara and Genesee preserving
districts of New York, They also
carry a large line of evaporated fruits.
Passing from front to the back part Of
the store you find all the available space
filed with sacks of -four and salt.
Nearing the rear of the store you de-
scend to the cellar, the back part ofwhich
is used for a syrup and apple cellar. In
the front arc boxes of canned goods
packed as closely as possible. The cellar
extends under the entire store and is q
model Of neatness and convenience.
In addition to their store on Seven
tenth street the Underwoods have a large
ware house on the government track in
which they keep a large supply of hay and
grains. To use the expression of one Of
the proprietors the firm keep every thing
that man or beast can eat.
Messrs. Underwood & Co. do a large
wholesale trade and are rapidly becoming
formidable competitors Il many of the
older firms in this branch. Since moving
into their new quarters they have done q
greater business than ever. Inasmuch rs
they have one of the finest stores and a
most desirable location they can not fail
to secure a large share of the city's pat
ronage

THE SILVER GROWN.
Reports OF a Marvellous Strike IN the
Ferguson Mine.

Mr.. Thomas Lenox came in from the
Silver Crown mining district last evening
and reported that a strike of marvelously
rich ore had been made in the Ferguson
mine.
The shaft of the mine ia now ~forty-fve
feet deep, but one shift only has been at
work. During the past week solid min
eral, running high in gray copper and
native silver, was encountered. The pay
streak is reported as four feet wide but
the lead is stated to be eight feet deep in
width, nearly filling the shaft, and all fair
ore. The walls are said to be clearly de-
fined. both the foot and hanging walls
being in place. The present dip Of the
walls and the strata indications of the
rock indicate that the vein will widen as
greater depth is obtained. The mine has
been worked with n MINDLESS and only
one shift but this coming week two shifts
will be at work. The ore as now reported
is rich enough to warrant lineal work on
the vein and stopping. There are some
thing like thirty or forty tons of ore on
the dump and it is claimed that its rich
ness cannot be exaggerated.
Mr.. Lenox has an extension of the Fer
guson mine and is now at work sinking a
prospect shaft. The indications are the
same as those existing at a similar depth
in the Fefhusou. and he ia therefore not n
a little elated.
1t is hoped that no fictitious hopes
have been raised or any mistakes made.
Should the Ferguson mine prove half as
rich as now reported the Silver Crown
district will have a boom next Spring,
and as it is located only t~wenty-ono miles
from this city, Cheyenne can not escape
identification with the results Of the devcl-
opment of its mines. 1t is therefore
hoped that the Ferguson mine will prove
to be all that is now deemed probable.

Laura Copeland, a rather well known
mulatto woman who has gained con-
siderable notoriety in police circles, and
whose moral character is reported to be
several shades more swarthy than her COM
plection, was married yesterday to a dis
charged soldier, a white man, whose name
is reported as Pheiffer, although it is
quite possible a mistake was made in his
name The ceremony was performed by
Justice Lee and Immediately after it was
ended the bride returned to her home in
that portion of the city known as Chi
cago.' Last evening the usual sounds of
revelry were heard issuing from her domi-
cile and no apparent change in her mode
of life was detected by those in the
neighborhood.

A Valuable souvenir.

A quiet and very pleasant presentation
occurred last evening at the store Of
Cowhick & Whitcomb, on Sixteenth
street. Upon the arrival of the hour for
closing the store the employees of the de-
partments devoted to gentlemen's goods
requested Mr.. W. A. Whitcomb to re-
main a moment longer than usual. In q
moment they came to the Office in a body
and surprised Mr.. Whitcomb by hand
ing him an elegant gold-headed cane.
The zane was manufactured and engraved
by Messrs. Zehner, Jackson & Buchner
n was a most elegant present 1t was
presented to Mr.. Whitcomb by Messrs.
Frank Sparhawk, H. B. Rice, P. 8.
Swick and Herman Zerwer of the cloth
ing, hat, boot and shoe departments of
the store.

In the same building p. H. Waterman
has n of the cosiest stores in the city.
1t is finished in the same manner as the
salesroom just described, and is a model
of elegance and convenience.
A few years since Mr.. Waterman began
in business in this city and since then has
fully merited the success which he has
attained. His stock consists OF a fine line
of hats, caps, and gents furnishing goods.
He also makes Especially of fur goods,
and has n of the finest stores in the city.
Although comparatively a young man. he
has acquired a reputation which many
older men might covet.
, 1884-12-14

In a store very similar t o that ofP. II.
Waterman, Z. Douglas has a crockery
store. Mr. Douglas is the proprietor of
one of the most solid firms in Denver,
having been engaged in business in that
city for the past twenty-five years. Mr..
Parkinson is the manager, and is a well
known citizen of the Queen City of the
Plains.
The stock consists of elegant designs in
porcelain and glassware, in fact anything
which is to be found in a store of this
description can be found here. Although
but recently established, the house is
now doing an excellent business, and will
no doubt receive its full share of the pub
lie patronage.

building. An excellent arrangement was
shown bz which the supply Of steam and
water is regulated automatically.
From the cellar the reporter proceeded
to the second story, The stairway lead
ing thereto is surmounted by a cherry
railing trimmed with black walnut The
railing is a fine specimen Of artistic work
manship.
The hall is well lighted by a skylight,
the roof being arched towards it This
floor is designed for offices and will be
eagerly sought by professional men who
desire comfortable quarters. One feature
is that all of the eighteen rooms are con-
nected. Leaving this the reporter ascend
ed to the third story, which is similarly
arranged and contains t~wenty-one rooms.
1t is on this floor the Brotherhood of
Locomotive and Firemen have their ball,
which is not yet completed.
The roof is of double dipped tin and is
unlike any of the kind in the city. The
cornices are of galvanized iron.
The entire building is heated by steam
and is supplied with hot and cold water.
1t is lighted with gas and electric light.
1t has a fire escape easily accessible from
all parts of the building and has fire plugs
on each floor. In fact it is has every mod
ern improvement and is an ediice Of
which any city might be proud.
The architect was Joseph Anderson
and the contractor and builder was E. r.
Hurd. ]. P. Julian was the superin-
teudent and the reporter is indebted to
him for many courtesies in his tour of in
spection. j. P. Weybercht did the fin
ishing work and with the exception Of
the fixtures of the sample room, the entire
building from conception to finish has
been the work of home talent.
The firm make a speciality of wines and
liquors of all kinds. They handle the
best Of foreign and native wines and pure
Kentucky liquors. Some time ago they
commenced to import their own cigars
and some idea of the magnitude of their
trade can be had from the fact that the
shelving in the sales room alone contains
some 10000 cigars.
The firm consists Of Max and Abe
Idleman both of whoBsare well known
throughout the Territory. w. L. Larsch
is the book keeper, w. F. Miller is assls-
a n salesman and NJ. Sachs is their
travelling salesman.
Great as has been the success ofthe firm
in the past, still greater must it be in the
future. With many more convenience
and with greater facilities for handling
and storing goods they must, as they de-
serve to do, not only hold the trade which
they now have, but be competitors for
the increasing demands of the Territory.

A number of complaints have been
made that a so-called marble race
given at Keefe's Hall Thursday night,
was conspicuous only for its vulgarity and
lack of decency. A number of those
who witnessed a part of the spectacle
assert that a man dressed in grotesque
female attire, who took part in the exhl-
bition, made an ~eggregious ass Of himself
and outraged decency by an uncalled-ior
display of Undertaking, while his ener-
getic and violent %suppleness was as mex
cusable as it was obscene. If the desire
of the mental dwarf and vulgar acrobat
was to shock ladies and bring bushes to
the faces of young girls he accomplished
his purpose, and in order to remove any
doubts he may at present entertain he
should be arrested and copiously fined for
indecent exposure. The skating rink has
been a popular resort, especially for the
young, and Mr.. Keefe was doubtless i'm.
posed upon by the fellow. The proprie-
tor of the hall certainly did not endorse
the exhibition.

WORLD is GOVERNED TOO MUCH
A Mothers LOve-A Practi-
cal Illustration of Its
Power.

A mothers lovei What a potent
thing it is It will melt the heart of
the most hardened criminal, when no
other influence would be effectual. No
one but a mother knows ito full
meaning, but every one can appreciate
it if they will. Il il known. though.
that it means sleepless nights, care, in
convenience, and, if necessary, want.
hardship and death. But the subject
has been too eloquently treated by the
sweetest poets and the ablest writers to
furnish an essay for these columns.
Too many practical illustrations occur
in everyday life for it to be dwelt up
on, so that it is unnecessary to speak Of
the subject further in order to make the
reader understand the full meaning of
what is to follow.
Mrs. Henry Schualen, of Ashland,
KY, writes that her daughter has been
cured of deafness which resulted from
chronic catarrh. She tells how she had
lost all hope of her daughter cher idol)
being cured, and how overjoyed she is
at the result. After trying many RENE
dies, she says PERuSA brought q cure,
and the daughters hearing is restored.
She concludes by speaking in the most
1attering terms of PERUNA, and then
describes in the most lovely manner the
happiness it has brought her, and 20
views the distress she experienced WI lie
her daughter was afflicted.
