Antiquity of Artesian Wells.

The artesian well was known to the
agriculturist ages ago. The Chinese, the
Hineoos and the Egyptians must have
learned to develop ''blind springs" and
from this beginning went on experiment
ing with rude dug and piped wells, which
in favorable situations brought the water
to the surface. In the heart of the Sa-
hara, in Asia Minor and in Persia, trav-
elers find ~unmistakable evidence that
flowing wells were obtained long before
the province of Artois gave its name
"Artesian" to these artificial well springs.

It is not for the few, like Appleton's, the

A ONE SIDED ARRANGEMENT.

The heavy shipments of fruits anG
vegetables which are made daily in season
from Greeley to Cheyenne emphasize:
the necessity for the extension of the
Cheyenne & Northern into johnson anc
Sheridan counties. Our neighbors to tn;
south find in Cheyenne a handy market
in which to dispose of their wares at a
good profit. We buy heavily from them,
sending our money out of the territory to
do so, and in return we do not receive a
dollars worth of benefit from them. They
buy nothing here, for the reason that we
have nothing to sell which they cannot
buy Just as cheaply elsewhere. Their
natural metropolis is Denver. They are
bound to the Colorado capital by political
and geographical ties, and therefore while
money flows in a steady stream from this
town to Northern Colorado not a cent
comes back through the channels of recip-
rocal trade.
If the Northern road we're extended
into the Big Horn country things would
be different. Cheyenne would be brought
into close communion with a class of peo-
pie who take pride in the prosperity of
this territory. The people of Buffalo,
Sheridan and the surrounding country
would find here a ready market for the
products which now glut the markets
there. Instead of being forced to resort
to a system of barter for goods, they
would here receive cash for them and in
return pay cash for many articles which
we have here to SELL.
In this manner both sections of the ter
ritory would be directly benefited and both
would receive a new and prosperous i'm
pulse. OF course even the build
ing of l25 miles Of northern road
has been OF some advantage to
Cheyenne, but Laramie county nominally
and Cheyenne chiefly, has contracted to
pay $400, 900 for whatever benefit may &C.
crue. The Union Pacific owe it to itself
and to the territory to extend the Chey-
enne & Northern into johnson county. 1t
has received much from the territory, but
in return it has done little with the spe-
ciic purpose of developing our resources.
The demand that something be now done
is only reasonable. Wyoming has already
been too long neglected.
OF all things that are now within She
power Of the Union Patifc we know of
nothing which would contribute so much
to the advantage of so many people in
Wyoming as the extension of the Chey-
enne & Northern.
Give us a northern outlet.

Fresh oysters at the Saddle Rock.


The modern civilized man is suueam-
lsh about pain to a degree which would
have seemed effeminate or worse to his
greatgrandfather, or to the contempo-
rary barbarian. His squeamishness is
not egotistic; he does not seem to be any
more afraid of being hurt than his great
grandfather was if he can see n good
reason for it. The German soldier, while
the mitrailleuse was still a weapon of I'M
known and frightful possibilities, cursed
the Frenchman and charged up the hill
face to a with the ''hell machines" as
undauntedly as ever his forefathers
faced simple bullet or bow and arrows.
The nameless railway engineers, who
stand TO their posts into the heart of a
great accident rather than desert a train
load of passengers, face and DEFY posi-
bilities of pain such as the great Julius
or Ney never dreamed of. Is there a
finer thing in Plutarch than was seen
when the English battalion, presenting
arms to the helpless beings in the depart
ing boats, went down in perfect parade
order on the deck of the laundering
troop ship? Modern life is rich in a SUI
premacv over personal suffering which
takes a higher character only as the finer
organization of the human being comes
to know more exactly in advance the
nature of the pain which it is to face

POLITICAL affairs are Just beginning to
warm up about the edges.

WHILE in Denver yesterday the writer
met George H. Jennings, who is closing
out his affairs with the idea of perma-
nently settling in Washington territory.
He is very much pleased with that section
of the country and says that business is
very brisk there. The Burlington, North
western and Manitoba railways are all
buying up a great deal of land in Wash.
ington territory and Oregon. The pre-
vailing feeling out there is that both the
Burlington and Northwestern will rapidly
push extensions of their line clear to the
coast.

1t has long been the general feeling
among army officers that n large per-
centage of assertions are caused by bad
cooking. Commissary Gen. MacFeeley
has shared this opinion, and in his annual
reports for some years he had recon-
mended an appropriation for the employ
ment of a skilled corps of cooks. He has
always asserted that the complaints of
the men were not due to the bad quality
of the food, but to the manner in which
1t was prepared and served. 1t has been
customary to select an enlisted man to
serve as company cook. and he has
usually " worked in a kitchen before.

A Rich TIN Sample.

The CHRONICLE mineral cabinet was
augmented by an additional sample of
tin ore from the Buckhorn mine, donat-
ed by Mr.. James Clark on Saturday.
The sample is one of the most attractive,
among the many tin specimens contain
ed in our collection, and is said to fairly re
present the lode from which it was taken.
The Buckhorn is one of q group of nine
tin locations, situate near the celebrated
Tin Reef group, all of which have been
discovered during the winter, and all OF
which are said to present the most
favorable indications of permanent val
ne. The work of development is now
being pushed on the Buckhorn with the
most gratifying results, and unless pres
ent indications should prove unusually
deceptive, the Buckhorn group will
attain to more than ordinary fame in
the sweet aftei while.

the part Of Mr.. Horner, of leaving the
pocketbook containing the money at a
public house, subject to the call Of the
unknown owner, without reference to
reward, is a credit to his honor and up
rightness, and furnishes the most in
controvertible proof Of there being at
least one honest man in the coming tin
camp Of the Hills.

Advices recently received from the
Jenney's Stockade oil fields indicate in
creasing interest. The northern Hills
is said to have been well represented in
that locality during the week. Custer
was also represented by a goodly num-
Der, who express much confidence in
the oil possibilities Of that section. A
number Of additional locations were
made, and yet it is claimed there is
quite an area Of the belt remaining
vacant. 1t is said that the indications
of oil for miles along the belt are Of the
most positive and unmistakable char
acter. Samples Of the surface groupings
| taken at q point two miles east Of the
flowing spring, when submitted to the
heat, show positive evidence Of their oil
bearing character. Nothing in the way
of extensive development has yet been
attempted, SO far as we have learned
but in every instance where a depth Of
twenty feet has been attained oil has
been found. Everything points to the
fact of there being large deposits Of OF
in that district, but it is by no mean'
sure that even in case Of the develop
ment of flowing wells, the industry
would be profitable with the present
facilities for transportation. The ex
pectations of large profits from oil oper
atoms in this field, depend largely upon
the extension of certain railroad l,nes
already surveyed through that region.
