Assistant District Attorney Harry
Macedonia tells n story about n fight for
copy between n newspaper editor and
a scientist The occasion was tho last
solar eclipse and tho office in which it
occurred was under the management
Of Maurice Minton. Telegraph COM
munication was established at various
points, but returns came in slowly. A
noted professor of astronomy had
charge, Tho time for going TO press
was approaching, and from the anc
tum In which the astronomer was In
stalled no copy was forthcoming. FL
nally Mr.. Minton came in and con
templated the professor, seated amid
tones of scientific data, hard at work
on some abstruso calculation,
ANY copy yet, professora-its get
ting late"
My dear sir, | have not been able
TO justify this calculation"-
But" interrupted Minton, "wo go
TO press pretty soon and must have
some copy"
No answer. The professor was deep
In his calculation.
In fifteen minutes the editor bounced
in again. There was no copy. Sew
eral unopened kilograms lay by the
hand Of the professor, who had not
yet Justified" his calculation. Gradu-
ally the paper was filed up save the
space for the eclipse stuff. There was
no more time to wait.
HIVE you any copy, professor2"
fairly yelled Minton.
My dear sir, really, r. Minton
could stand no more. With a bound
he seized the kilograms and as fast Us
the envelopes dropped to the floor a
reporter grabbed the contents and put
them into shape. Just as tho p~rofes-
sor awoke from his scientific reverie
he heard Minton yell, ''send out that
stud head for the eclipse"
Before the scientist had justified
that astounding order there was a
steady roar downstairs and the paper
had gone to press. Some time after
the paper was on tho street the specta-
cled professor laid a pile of scientific
data upon Minton's desk. The editor
bowed but the copy didn't move. The
professors opportunity was lost-New

est object OF attention. The Inez mine
is situated sixteen miles from Douglas, on

$4,000 has already been expended in its
development. The main slope is ESQ Iect

from $50 to 100 feet in length. One
mile of track has already been laid in tho
mine. A forty horse power engine draws
the coal ears out Of the mine. The coal
itself is Ignite. Territorial Mine Inspcc-

at $3.50 per ton in Douglas, and finds

about the mine. Every dollar realized is

To a Cheyenne man visiting Douglas
there comes the feeling that that town is
now what Cheyenne must at one time
have been. The people of one commu-
nifty affiliate naturally with the people of
the other. Along the streets arc seen
many faces that were long familiar here,
and n residence in Cheyenne is OF itself a
passport to the good graccs of the people
of Douglas The visitor there finds the
same oren-handed hospitality, the same
alertness in business methods, and the
same freedom from consentionality that
characterizes much of the social inter
course in this city. lie finds himself at

SO far as the simple soil is concerned
Douglas is not very fayorably situated.
IL is in the midst of a stretch of bad
lands which the rains always render very
unpleasant for wheeled traffic. In other
respects the situation is good. The
broken character of the country in the
foreground, with the Casper range tower
ing beyond. makes an effective picture
which the eye delights To rest upon.
Considering its age the town is rcmarka-
bly, well built. There arc a number of
brick buildings. all of them substantial
looking, while the frame structures show
evidence that they were not built simply
to serve a temporary purpose. Tho school
building is an extremely ornate looking
cdificc, erected on a knoll overlooking the
town. The Wyoming Central railroad
buildings are large and c~ommodious.
Altogether the town is the most promis-
ing two-y car old in the country. Ar
engagements are now being made to CON
struct a Holly system of water works, and
other improvements will follow as rapidly
as the needs Of a live people demand
them.
