AN IMMENSE COMPANY
with sa,5Oo,oOO Capital, at Old Fort
Casper.

One of the heaviest oil companies in
the world will file its articles of lncorpor-
alton in the office of the secretary proba-
bly, by the middle of next week. The
company originates in Omaha, but has
connected with it heavy capitalists who
reside further East. and the amount of
capital stock fixed upon is 3 800, 900.
The company is organized for the purpose
Of engaging in the oil business at and
near old Fort Casper in this territory, and
it is proposed at last to open up the oil
fields in Central Wyoming, and draw out
the rich treasures which lie hidden there.
The organization of this company will be
a great thing for the country around Fort
Casper, and it is probable that the time
is not far distant when a thriving town
will spring up there. The Northwestern
railroad is now completed nearly to that
point, and this fact has had much to do
with the sudden organization of this
mammoth company.

Giving u Something Now.

The enterprising members of our new
militia company have long contemplated
getting up an entertainment, or a series
of entertainments, in order to add some
funds TO their treasury. The gentlemen
at the head of the entertainment commit
tee haye about made arrangements to pre-
sent a series of dramatic, musical and
humorous exhibitions of enthusiastically
high order. Monday evening last Prof.
+. l.. Chauvan gave a few select recita-
tons to the committee and e few invited
friends sufficient to convince them that by
their selection of his services they have
secured n master OF oratory and a careful
study of human nature. Prof. Chauvan
has been for many years on the Pacific
coast and is well known over that section
of country. His renditions last Monday
evening prove him to be a scholar well
able to entertain, instruct and amuse A
sample of John B. Coughs oratory first
enlisted their attention. Edgar A. Poe's
Tell Tale Heart" displayed another phase
Of his mastery of elocutionary art, and his
powers in character acting were afterwards
shown in The Little Hero" Prof. Lee
Chauvan takes his strongest hold with an
audience by his humorous selections.
In the proposed series of entertain
ments gotten up by the Cheyenne Guards
Prof. Chauvan will be assisted by the
Misses Rena and Annie Atkinson, two
bright little ladies, who bring with them
from Denver the highest enconiums for
musical ability. Local talent will also be
enlisted, and it is confidently believed that
presented.
We like to see public spirit displayed
by our new company. 1t shows that they
not only look to their own glory, but have
a regard for the public they have pledged
themselves to serve.

OUR RESOURCES.
Preparations to Publish Them
Abroad Officially.
Each County to Furnish An Elab-
crate Statement.
WyOming's Secretary Makes a Call
For Them.

The board of county commissioners re-
ceived an official communication from
Hon. s. D. Shannon, secretary of the
territory, on Friday, calling their atten-
ton to chapter "a of the session laws of
1888, wherein it is provided that the
county commissioners Of each county may
appoint what is termed a corresponding
secretary, to prepare and furnish to the
secretary an elaborate statement of the
u and natural advantages of each
county, and when so furnished the secre-
tary may cause them to be published in
pamphlet form to be distributed abroad.
acted upon this matter, and arrangements
have already been made under which an
individual who might be named will pre-
pare the statement on behalf of Laramie
county, in which work j. X. jeffrey, the
county clerk, will assist in the way Of
furnishing the necessary data, figures,
etc.
Secretary Shannon some days ago made
his first call on each of the counties in
regard to this work, but as yet only Con-
verse, johnson and Laramie counties have
responded. although it is expected that
the balance of the territory will soon be
heard from-not that they will be pre-
pared to forward their statements at pres
ent, but that they will do so in due and
proper time.
1t is expected that if all the counties
respond in time the matter thus furnished
will be ready for the printers on or before
the last Of August, and if SO it will be
but a few days before an official statement
of the resources of each county in the
territory, together with much additional
important information can be given out.
which will be of great service to the ter
ritory abroad.
Several of the states and territories are
now getting out their pamphlets and
some of them are large enough to be
called books. The state of Alabama has
but recently il sued one of these, and it is
nearly as large as ourisesslon laws Of the
legislature of 1888. The territory of Da-
kota has also issued one within the past
few months, and it is a very elaborate
book, and several other states and terri
tories have invested to a considerable ex-
tent iG this method of official advertising
(f it can be called that and very fire.
quently letters and communications are
received at the secretary's office inquiring
whether Wyoming cannot ~reciprocate by
sending one in return.
As stated elsewhere Secretary Shan
o is arranging for the publication of
1000 maps of the territory, and it is pos
sible, it might be said probable, that if
the various counties respond to his call
in time, the maps will be used in connec-
ton with the pamphlets and perhaps in
corporated in them.
Secretary Shannon is deserving Of
much credit for the interest he has shown
in the welfare OF our territory and in all
things he has proven himself to be a
faithful and competent officer.

For the first time the city park will be
open 10 all visitants to-day who desire to
examine the flower beds, and for that
purpose walking on the grass will be in
order, but Governor Altman is liable
to be on hand with a shotgun and point it
butt first at any one who undertakes to
pick any OF the flowers. The park looks
beautiful, and while people have had the
opportunity at any time of passing
through its streets and walks, this is
the first opportunity given to pass over
the grass plats to the flower beds.

An Evanston Company.

Articles of Incorporation of the Evans
ton Electric Light company were filed in
the Office of Secretary Shannon yesterday.
The object for which the company is
formed is indicated by its name, and the
legal existence of the corporation is fixed
at the term of fifty years. The capital
stock is fixed at the sum of $50. 900, d.
vided into 500 shares of 800 each. The
trustees and incorporators are A. V.
Quinn, Harvey Booth, Newell Bernan,
f. G. Priest, A. B. Kingsbury and Jesse

Home Again.

Jim Kee, Cheyenne's most wealthy
C%hinaman. has just returned from a trip
to China, where he vent to pay his folks
a visit. Jim is a very intelligent celestial
and n of the most industrious and
straightforward of any that has ever dwelt
among us. He is very observing also and
tells of the business situation over in his
own country in a manner that would do
justice to an American capitalist. The
heavy rains in Central China this season
have nearly destroyed the crops, but they
will manage to pull through somehow.
Jim's father, who holds some office under
the government, is a farmer by occupation
and Jim says he uses cows to do his plow-
ing with. On his way back Jim went
around through Colorado and visited
some of the best towns in the state, but
he does not like them and says that Chey-
emit beats them all.

Secretary Shannon has ordered 1000
maps of the territory, and they are being
struck off by an eastern firm. Yesterday
arrangements were made between the
secretary and the eastern parties, for hav-
ing the maps which were ordered and in
part prepared before the recent setting
apart of Converse and Sheridan counties,
so amended as to show the boundries of
both. 1t is probable that some matters
in the way of statistics will be printed
upon the back of the maps after they are
received here.

Harry Patterson, the late defendant in
the Patterson murder trial, passed through
the city yesterday morning on his way
from Denver to Montana. 1t now trans
pres that there are one or two parties in
Cheyenne who knew him at Great Falls,
Mont, having been laborers there while
Patterson resided at that place. These
parties do not have much to say about
Patterson, but they speak of him in terms
somewhat different from what Patterson
would speak of himself These parties
kept pretty quiet while the trial was in
progress, being fearful that they might be
called on as witnesses, which would have
perhaps thrown them out of their Jobs.

40 miles.
The addition to the residence of Bishop

where the water entirely disappears, and
was under ground for a considerable dis
lance.
The revival meetings that have been
going on at the Methodist Episcopal
church since the conference adjourned,
were discontinued on Friday night for the
time being.
Father Nugent did not get as far as
Rawlins on Friday evening. He went
aboard the train with parties who were
headed for that place, but left the train
Just before it started.
A bucking pony which some young man
managed to cling to pretty well, was one
of the attractions near the Rhodes &
Troxell corner last evening and a large

The foundation which Keefe and Brad
lay are placing under the building known

had an existence, the first being Leroy
winter of lSS3-S4.
After nineteen years, Col. Dickey found
an old county warrant among his papers
yesterday. 1t was issued in 1869 and
how he came to hold it for nearly twenty
years without discovering it before is a
mystery to~the colonel.
There were many expressions Of regret
heard among the old timers in Cheyenne
yesterday regarding the sad and uufor-
tunale occurrence which will probably re
suit in the attempted suicide of Mr..
Sparhawk, who resided here for a num-
her of years.

Keefe Has the Contract.

Yesterday H. w. Newell OF Denver,
who had the contract for the erection of
the east wing of the capitol for the sum
of $5s, 454, was in the city, and thinking
perhaps that as the contract for both
wings was not awarded to him, he would
not bother with one of them, transferred
his contract over to M. P. Keefe, with
the consent of the commissioners. Mr..
Keefe therefore has the entire contract,
and as he is thorough and expeditions in
all that he does, we may expect to see the
work pushed with energy.

Rnappahannock,s Drummer Boy.

The members Of the Baptist church are
making arrangements to give a literary
and musical entertainment at the opera
house or Keefe hall on the evening of
Aug. SIN part at least under the super

mel Boy of the Rhappahannock." A
meeting of the committee of arrange
ments was held yesterday afternoon and
a portion of the programme agreed upon.
An invitation was extended to W. P.
Carroll to prepare an original poem for
the occasion and it is probable that some
of the best musical talent in the city will
assist, and in addition thereto some OF
Cheyenne's elocutionists will be heard
from.

A NAVY OURS AT LAST.
SECRETARY WHITNBY'S REVIEW OF IHB
WORK DONE
10 The Naval Department in the Last Fou
Tears We Can Now Make Oar Own
Ships and Can Rival The World
in tHS Wosk.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-Secretary
Whitney has presented his annual report
10 the President. After giving 8 brief re-
view Of the condition Of the navy as it will
exist on the 4th day of March, 1889, in
cotnparison with the same as 1t existed on
the 4th day of Msfch, 1885, and furnish
ing list of armored vessels heretofore
authorized by Congress, be says: So far as
armOrsd chips are concerned, the subject is
yet to be treated in broad way by the
department and by Congress. At the pres-
ent time tha conditions are such that ey,
erything necessary to first-class fighting
ship can be produced and furnished to
the department in this country, as
soon rs in the course of construction
any element or feature is required; but
this has never heretofore until the present
time been true, and therefore the consider
ton Of the snbject has hesn necessarily
postponed by the department until the
present time. The efforts Of the depart.
nent in ship construction have necessarily
since March, 1885, been devoted to un.
armored vessels, and of ttess the depirt
ment Is able to report that when the chip:
in course of construction and those author
lied shsll have been completed, the United
States will rank second among the nationt
in the possession of tinarmored cruisers Of
commerce destToyers, having the highest
characteristics, viz: Of size, 3, 600 tons, snt
possessing speed of nineteen knots and up
wards.
The Importance which has been placed
upon this branch of naval armament will
be appreciated from the statement tha
Euglsnd and France possess G5 vessels @
the class known as unarmoIed cruisers
1t is gratifying to be able to report" say'
the Secretary, "tbat as will be seen from
the following table, notwithstanding The
large expenditures for the new nsVy in tht
last three years, the reduction in Other
directions has made the total expenditures
of the department less for these years THAI
for the three years erding June 80, 1884
A history is given ofths efforts being made
to simplify, systematizs aud improve the
business methods of the department.
The naval brokers have for the most
part disappeared and regular, responsible
dealers are becoming more aud more con
tractors for these supplies. For time il
seemed impossible to dislcdge them. They
would underbid regular dealers, notably
for the supply of coal. 1t was quite evi.
dent they had some advantage which did
not appear. Careful investigation showed
the quality of the coal delivered to be at
contracted for. The receiver Of the Goa
IVES changed at the Brooklyn navy yard
and the weights taken by another ciVi
employe and nothing suspicious was de
velopsd. Finally naval officer was de
tailed without previous notice to weigl
personally barge load, and it WAS founr
sixteen tons short. The gentleman dis
appeared as bidder for the depsrtmen
from that time. There was no evidenc
of fraud on his part, but inferenCes cal
readily be drawn.
