Ground was broken for the capitol
building yesterday. Contractor Greenlee
had men and teams busily engaged in
making the dirt fly.
The laying of the concrete foundation
will probably begin mex Monday. The
first two courses above the grade will very
likely be of Fort Collins stone. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Greenlee hat this stone
is much better fitted to withstand the
dampness arising from the irrigation of
the grounds, than the sandstone of which
the main portion of the structure will be
composed.
Sheds for the stone cutters, etc, are
being erected, and all of the necessary ad.
iuncts of constructions are being provided.
There is every prospect o fthe work being
vigorously and efficiently pushed forward.

The Central Pacific In wyoming.

Information has been received here that
a day or two since, Major Edmund
Wilkes, with a party OF surveyors, in the
interest of the Central Pacific began a
survey at Corinne, which has for its east
ern terminus South Pass City in Fremont
county, Wyoming The distance is prob
ably two hundred miles, and South Pass
is the southern gap of the Wind River
mountains.
The survey made by Major Wilkes last
year up Sweetwater runs through this
pass. That survey was made in the name
of the Wyoming Eastern Railway com.
pany, and was a continuation of a prior
survey made by Major Wilkes from Fort
Fetterman to the Sweetwater. The pres
ent survey from Corinne is evidently in
tended to connect with the line run last
year up the Sweetwater, as Major Wilkes
himself declared that that line was the
only natural road bed from South Pass to
the eastern end of the Sweetwater valley,
or in other words the North Platte river.
The information received here further
states that the line now being run by
Major Wilkes is permanent, and that this
statement is relied on so implicitly by the
people Of Corinne that n building boom is
already in course of preparation there.

Territorial Veterinarian Hopkins re
turned yesterday from his months official
visit of inspection to the horse herds OF the
Big Horn basin. DR. Hopkins went by rail
to Billings, Montana, and thence by team
to the Big Horn country. He thoroughly
inspected the horses OF this region. lying
in johnson and Fremont counties, and
during his visit ten head Of horses were
condemned for CHAMBERS, killed, appraised
and paid Tor.
The doctor says hat he met with every
kindness, courtesy and assistance from
the stock men of the section, and hat
every facility for the discharge of his duty
wa placed at his command.
As he returned, the doctor stopped at
Helena, and had AN official consultation
with the Montana governor. The Mon
tana territorial veterinarian assisted at
the conference. the principal object OF
which was the adoption of measures pro-
tective of Wyoming horses in localities
adjacent to the Montana border.
Horses infected with the CHAMBERS stray
acioss the line, and no Wyoming regula-
ton could of itself reach the evil. Our
veterinarian found the Montana officials
most courteous, and anxious to do every
thing possible TO stamp out infectious
disease in their territory. Satisfactory
arrangements were made, and Montana
and Wyoming will hereafter labor hand
in hand to drive infection from their
ranges.
DR.. Hopkins reports cattle in good
shape. though grass is rather short.
