The Congregational church Of our city
has established a reputation for giving
choice entertainments. They now pro-
pose to exceed anything heretofore given.
They have been fortunate enough to secure
the services of Miss Mary Cope, elocution-
ist, and Miss Alice Merrill, contralto So
loist, with Madam Hattie Couch Bailey as
piano soloist. These ladies will appear
next Thursday evening, May 10, at the
Congregational church in one OF their in
structive and refined entertainments.
They are all fine artists and come to our
city very highly recommended by the press
wherever they have appeared before the
public. We hope our citizens will avail
themselves of the opportunity to hear
them, thereby procuring a rich treat for
themselves and at the same time render
ing assistance to the good ladies of the
Congregational church, under whose aus
pices the entertainment is given. Miss
Merrill has no superior in the West as a
conlralto solo singer, and Miss Cope has
always captivated her audiences with her
beauty and inimitable representations. Do
not fail to be present on Thursday evening.
If you wish to attend the hop there will
be time enough after the entertainment.

THE sew TOWN AT FETrERMAN
Activity on the Chicago & Northwestern
--BusIness Enterprises.

Col. George, special agent OF the land
office, arrived in Cheyenne Yesterday from
Fort Fetterman and Runningwater. The
grade of the Chicago 4 Northwestern has
nearly reached the head of R~unningwater,
and will o o start down the slope leading
to Lance creek. Last Thursday the Cor
rey Bros, well known Ogden, Utah, con-
tractors, established a grading camp of
2C0 men, with ample supplies, on Shawnee
creek. forty miles west of Lusk on Run
ningwater. They are awaiting the action
of the road in regard to certain coal lands
The company recently purchased 1900
acres of coal lands, paying therefor $40
per acre. These lands lie seven or eight
miles from the line of survey, and it is in
consideration whether to run a wye to
reach them, or to change the main line.
The road is expected to be finished to the
new town by Sept. /. This new town is
on the opposite side of the North Platte
from Fort Fettefman, and is yet un-
named. The distance from it to the fort,
by the present route, is fifteen miles, but
a ferry is being put in that will lessen the
miles to seven. q. II. King, of G. II.
King K Co., and the Richards Bros. have
entered into a contract for the delivery to
them of 500, 900 brick at the new town,
for the erection of a storehouse and bank.
Messrs. King & Co. are now carrying a
$40, 600 stock of goods at Fort Fetterman,
while the Richards Bros. have a prosper
ing bank at the same point.
Messrs. Cowhick K Whitcomb have a
heavy stock of goods at Fetterman, under
the management of Mr.. Frank Sparhawk,
and are doing a fine business. Fort Fet-
terman also contains two large hotels. a
fine livery stable, and three saloons; has
the inevitable lawyer, a deputy district
clerk, and a surveyor.
Lusk, on the ~Runningwater, has fifty
or sixty tent houses, two large stores and
seven saloons. R~unningwater is white
with emigrant wagons, their occupants
seeking prosperous homes in the new and
rich Northwest.

WYOMING DEVELOPMENT CO.
Large Developments Extensive bitches
--Heayy Investments.

Eighty miles north Of here. between the
Laramie river and the Chugwater, lies
60, 900 acres of splendid agricultural land,
traversed in all directions by the extensive
bitches of the Wyoming Development
company, headquarters in Cheyenne. This
vast ditch system is supplied by the waters
Of the Laramie river, Joined with those Of
the Sabille, The initial point of depart
ure from the Laramie river Is through IA
tunnel 300 feet long and piercing a hill
300 feet in height This tunnel is seven
feet wide and eight feet in depth. The
first 400 feet of course has a fall of two
feet to the hundred, and the balance one
foot to the hundred. This tunnel will be
completed in the course of three weeks
work progressing on it from both ends,
with thirty five men handling the pick and
shovel. Its completion will be the signal
for the immediate filling of the countless
bitches tributary to it. Through Blue Grass
creek its waters will enter the Sable.
From this stream starts a wide and long
canal. From it and the Sabille radiate in
every direction, the bitches, %laterals and
sub %laterals covering the immense domain
of the company with a pefect water net
work. These lands are held for sale,
lease, or actual cultivation by the com
pany itself. Five hundred acres were
broken nm and sold last season. This
spring a thousand acres will feel the pillow.
The soil is rich and heavy, yielding
largely. 1t grows magnificent wheat both
in grain and yield. The completion of
the irrigation system on these lands will
mark the expenditure of over 800, 900
The main bitches will reach 100 miles in
length, while the l~aterals and sub-laterals
will measure double that distance.

Swan and Morgan. Fairview, Silver
Crown, will bring in and ship during the

are for test mill runs. The Fairview
shaft is now working a horse whym with
three shifts, eight hours each. In the
same district James Adams will soon start
up on the Copper King property. Large
immediate improvements on this property
are spoken of. The north level of the
Carbonate Belle is IN thirty feet, working
three eight hour shifts. A. w. Hay
good, on the south side of the railroad
between Butte and Granite, is said to
have a very large body of gold bearing
quartz. One hundred and twenty FIVE

Silver Crown and vicinity and are doing

THE LEADER earnestly calls the atten-
ton of the city council to the pressing
necessity of an electric alarm system for
Cheyenne, Lack of information as to To-
cality OF fires is a prolific source OF destruc-
ton. The fire companies did not reach
the burning Catholic church last Saturday
night until twenty-five minutes after the
sounding of the alarm. Again. on the
occasion of the recent Polack fire, the
hooks vent south of the railroad track,
the Alerts hurried up Hill street, while
the Durants gathered on one spot, anx-
iously awaiting developments. The fire
companies do all that men can do, and it
is a pity that their volunteered efficiency
should be married by want of necessary
facilities. The sum lost by a very small
6rc could put in FIVE electric alarm boxes.
As necessity demands, and opportunity
allows, these can be added to, and in a
few years Cheyenne will have an adequate
and effectual fire protection system.

The disused dwelling house at the
stock yards was recently raided by tramps.
These gentry scattered hay over the floors
to sleep upon and when they left next
morning did not take the trouble to close
the doors after them. Attracted by the
hay, some twenty FIVE of Mr.. Van Tassell $
bulls raided the interior in their turn.
Surprised by the yard men, the bulls did
not return by the door ways but went
out by the windows. The sash and a
great many of the fragments Of the glass
accompanied them. One enterprising
animal climbed the stair case snd at
tempted to escape by the roof.

The pharmacy commission met yesterday
at l p. M. at the Inter Ocean, and held
a very stormy initial meeting, resulting in
a decided split. Mr.. A R. Troxcll, the
Cheyenne member of the commission, and
the Carbon and Rock Springs members,
+. p. Shannon and DR.. Woodruff, speed
lily developed a strong antagonism. The
two latter gentlemen. in virtue OF the ma
jority Of the commission they themselves
constituted, organized, and against the
protest of the Cheyenne member pro-
ceeded to business and transacted consid-
cradle preliminary work. The first regu-
lar meeting was appointed at Rawlins, on
the Dist of June. Mr.. Troxell claims
that the meeting is illegal, as DR.. Wood
ruff is not a registered pharmacist. The
doctor, on the other hand, says that he is
a registered physician and that a special
provision fully covers the case.
