LET Us TAKE FIRST WHACK.

The Denver Republican has a very self
sufficient way of putting in one good word
for Wyoming while at the same time put
ting in two good words for Denver. In
its periodical references to the natural re.
sources of Wyoming it has always been
generous but at the same time its habit
has been to consider the territory's latent
wealth entirely from the standpoint Of the
possible profit which might result TO Den
yer from its development We have no
particular fault to find with Denver for
this but at the same time we believe in
the doctrine of first getting all we can out
of whatever may be undertaken IN this
line.
Yesterdays issue of the Republican
contained the following editorial article
which treats the subject from the usual
standpoint:
Denver is only $40 miles by rail from
marketable copper and iron deposits in
central Wyoming, yet she is asleep to
their existence. while London, far across
the sea, is taking hold of the copper pro-
duct with energy, and is considering the
smelling of the iron. 1t is los miles from
Denver to Cheyenne, and 1875 miles from
Cheyenne to Wendover, the present ter
minus of the Cheyenne II Northern.
Wendover is on the North Platte, about
forty miles northwest of Fort Laramie
and nearly the same distance southeast
from Douglas, the Wyoming terminus Of
the Chicago & Northwestern. Ten miles
beyond Wendover, in the Rawhide hills,
are the copper and iron mines now attract
ing English attention.
The great firm Of Mathieson & Co.,
of London, are working the copper mines,
and have the machinery for a smelter on
the way. They are willing to put the
smelter at Cheyenne or Denver if the
Union Pacific can be induced to build a
spur Of ten miles from Wendover.
Otherwise they will put it at the mines.
Cheyenne is moving earnestly in the mat
ter.
Denver is Just half way between the
Colorado coke and the new Wyoming
copper and iron fields. Here the coke
and the ore can meet to the best advaut
g as to TRANSPORTATION. 1t is to the
interest both of the railroads and the mine
owners hat the copper and iron reduc.
ton works be located here. This is the
meeting point of the railroads. The
Union Pacific would have all the ore haul,
, 1888-05-18

while four roads terminating at Denver
from the south would bring the coke here
and get the longest haul there is in it by
doing so.
This Wyoming iron is positively as
serted to be the best yet found in the
Rocky mountains for making steel, and it
probably presents Denver with her long
desired opportunity to secure steel works
will the chamber of commerce collect
the necessary data for a further discussion
of the subiect?"

A GREAT HOAX.

The Nebraska Republicans are as mad
ton held in Omaha as soon as the plat
form had been read and acted upon it was
turned over to a messenger boy to rush it
to the Republican office. There it was
set up and proofs sent to the other e
paper offices in the city. The following
morning it appeared in full in the Repub-
bean, Bee and Herald. The horror Of
the Republicans and the glee of the Dem
ocrats may be imagined when it was dis
covered that the three following resolu-
tons were literal transcripts of resolutions
adopted two weeks ago at the Democratic
convention:
Sympathy for the wronged and OPP
pressed of every land is avowed, and at
this crisis in the affairs OF the people of
Ireland hearty encouragement Is expressed
to them in their struggle for liberty and
self government. Liberal pensions to the
disabled and needy veterans of the Union
army are recommended to congress, but
jobbery and favoritism, such as were eX-
posed by President Cleveland's veto meas
ures, are emphatically condemned. For
the best interests of all the people of the
United States and their more harmonious
cementing into a fraternal nation. Sec
tional issues and the keeping alive of the
hatreds of the late civil war are repre-
hended and denounced"
Nobody seems to know exactly how the
thing was done, but the matter is being
investigated.

Brave Firemen Deserve TO be Hon
For the nispatch.l


But few persons in our city excepting
those present have any knowledge of the
courage and heroism which some of our
city firemen displayed on Thursday the
18th. II will be remembered that the
fire occurred on Franklin street near
Seventeenth The buildings in which it
originated have large and handsome
brick fronts. but in the rear were wooden
sheds, 80 that the conhagration was very
rapid one. There was family consist
ing Of widow lady and her daughter oc-
cupying the third floor of one of the
burning houses. The only means Of
exit from this floor was through this
wooden addition back Of the buildings.
In few moments after the fire began
this was cut off by tho flames. The two
ladies were thus left in great peril.
Their only way of escape was gone and
they were every moment In danger OF
suhocation. The smoke was dense.
The flames were progressing with such
rapidly that it was evident that they
would be burned to death if they did
not receive almost instantaneous help.
1t was just at this perilous moment, when
the whole crowd Of spectators were
breathless with excitement that Truck
Company No. 2 under Captain Bur
tom placed their long ladder at
the window, and James Doyle,
Captain Burton, and First-Assist-
ant Engineer Mountcastle courageous
" faced the furious flames, and at
the peril of their own bodies saved the
ladies. When these were safely rescued
some one sold that there was yet another
in the burning building ; so Mountcastle
bravely again assembled the ladder to
enter the room now filled with
dense smoke. Just at this moment
there was an explosion, and
mighty shout of terror went up
from the crowd below as a flame of fire
burst through the windows, enveloping
in its fiery embrace the gallant fireman
Mountcastle, who was just about to enter
the building the second time under the
misrepresentation that some one was yet
to he rescued. With his wounds of
honor, from which he is still suffering,
he was borne to his home.
This is only one incident in the history
of brave acts of fremen. In France,
Germany, England, and other countries
brave acts by which lives are rescued
are rewarded that others may be stirred
to acts Of like heroism. which dignity
and make noble the human race. Why
cannot our heroes receive like honor and
recognition from us? Why can't we,
too, have a Legion of Honor for those
who, at the peril Of their own lives,
save others :? JAMES b. FUNsTEN,
