The Evanston Chieftain says that the
indications now are that the No. / mine,
near the old No. 3; will be the richest in
Almy. 1t is owned by the Union Pacific
railroad company, who. have about twenty
men employed, which is all the mine will
accommodate at the present time, but the
prospects are that in the near future it
will give work for at least five hundred
men. They have struck a 2S.foot vein of
as good coal as one might wish to see,
and in a few days will be getting out a
good supply. The.mine has three open
ings, one being the old Wyoming"
mine and the other two are east of this
and are beng connected SO as to supply
air. They are now at a depth of about
eighty feet.

h'tAhNAhhkl
Mart Edison died at . o'clock Sunday
afternoon as the result of the injuries
which he received last Friday on the
ranch OF Con Hammond, his brother in
law, twenty miles from the city.
At the time of the accident which re-
suited in his death, Edison was engaged
in hauling fence posts, and with a load of
about sixty of these stopped neal a barbed
wire fence. He had gone a short distance
from the wagon when one of the horses,
which was somewhat i~racuous, began TO
act badly. He Jumped Tor the reins, be-
ing compelled in doing so to go between
the wagon and fence, and grasped them
IN such a manner as to draw the horses in
toward the fence. The act caused one of
the wagon wheels to strike him in the
back, throwing him forward against the
fence. He fell upon the ground, where
the wagon wheel passed over his body.
In his trousers pocket was a knife and a
plug OF tobacco, and the wheel in passing

4 WORTHY

To-day signalizes an epoch IN the his
tory Of Cheyenne. At 10 o'clock this
morning will be land the corner stone of
the new Union Pacific shops which marks
the inception of a plant of which any
city might well feel proud.
When rcverses fell upon the cattle bust
ness Cheyenne, as well as the rest of
Wyoming, was struck between wind and
water, The blow was n stunning one and
it required some time for people to realize
that things were no longer as they used to
be.
Eventually the attention of many peo-
pie was turned to the mineral of
the territory which, after all, must be the
ultimate and permanent source of our
wealth. The question of utilizing this
vast and valuable product was then and is
now one OF the most serious that confronts
us. In its raw state the minerals have
only a prospective value. Everyone realizes
that manufacturing must bring Us back
prosperity, but the securing of manufac-
lures which would utilize the raw home
product has been slower of realization
that most people immagined it would be.
The erection of the Union Pacific
shops therefore is a fortunate event not
simply because OF the several hundred
men who will receive employment upon
the completion of a portion of the shops
next November. but because they are the
forcrunner of manufacturing establish
ments and the almost immediate consum-
ers OF the raw materials which are found
in great abundance so close to hand.
Cheyenne can therefore celebrate the
corner stone laying with the greatest grace
imaginable. 1t can now look hopefully
forward to a future which must place it
well up in the list of important CONNER
cial centers in the trans-Missouri region.

TRAIL NONSENSE.

We were somewhat surprised to find
such territorial papers as the Lusk Her
all quote without criticism the following
editorial from the Omaha Bee:
There is great danger of obliterating
the Texas trail. The drovers are COM
pclled to seek more circuitous and ex-
pensive routes. Already great difficulties
are encountered in driving large bodies of
cattle over tho mountains, owing to the
scarcity of water on the new trail, and
complaints are made hat both Wyoming
and Colorado are developing into farming
and stock raising states, to the exclusion
of Texas cattle. Even should Montana
be able to receive all the cattle that Texas
may Sem Tor years to come, there can be
no question but that in a short time the
present methods OF shipment must be
changed. What effect this change will
have remains TO be seen.
As a matter of fact, as everyone in this
territory should know, the Texas trail
ceased to exist five years ago. 1t was
wiped out owing to the fact that so
much of the land which it crossed had
been broken up by settlers. The old
Texas trail now possesses only a historic
interest. The new Texas trail is a rail-
road by which cattle are more rapidly and
more advantageouslY transported from
Texas to Wendover.
The overland trail has given place to
the railroad.

GOOD STARE.

Yesterday was emphatically firemen's
day in Cheyenne. Red -shirted and blne
shirted old and young fellows seemed
omnipresent in their number and variety.
Badges in infinite variety of form and
color were pinned to manly breasts serv-
ing the two-iold purpose of decoration
and designation. The out of town men
appeared in large numbers and were hand
and glove with the home teams wherever
met, The city itself was in holiday at
tire. Each incoming train added its
quota to the list of visitors, the Bur.
lington being particularly prolific of visi,
tors from towns along its line as far east
as Holyoke.
Everywhere was stir and flourish, flags
and bunting, music aud iollity-a fit fore
unnor Of, the greater events Of to-day.

CHAPTER XIII.-KERGUELEy LAND.

As soon "a Mr.. AbeeSon, saved from
drowning by her intervention, lay gasping
at the bottom of the boat, Augusta, over
come by a momentary faintnesS, let her
head fall forward on to the bundle of
blankets in which she had wrapped up the
child she had rescued, and who, too terri
fled to speak or cry, stared about him with
wide-opened and frightened eyes. When
she lifted it, a few seconds later, a ray
from the rising sur had pierced the mist
and striking full on the sinking ship, as,
her stern well out of the water and her
bow well under it, she rolled s~ullenly to
and fro in the trough of the heavy sea,
seemed to wrap her from hull to truck in
wild and stormy light.
"She's goingl-by Heaven, she's goingl"
said the seaman Johnnie; and as he said it
the mighty ship slowly reared herself upon
end. S~lowly-yery slowly, amidst the
hideous and despairing shrieks of the
doomed wretches on board of her, she lift
cd her stern higher and higher, and
plunged her bows deeper and deeper. They
:s~hrieked, they cried to Heaven for help;
but Heaven needed them not, for mans
agony cannot avert mans doom. Now,
for a space, she was standing almost up
right upon the water, out Of which about
q hundred feet of her vast length lowered
like some monstrous ocean growth, whilst
men fell from her in showers, like flies be-
?numbed by frost, down into the churning
foam beneath. Then suddenly, with O
swift and awful rush, with a rending
ssound of breaking spars, q loud explosion
of her boilers. and q smothered boom Of
bursting bulkheads she plunged down in,
TO the measureless deeps, and was seen no
more forever.
The water closed in over where she had
been, boiling and foaming and sucking
down all things in the wake of her last
journey, while the steam and prisoned
air came up in huge, Kissing jets and bub-
blcs that exploded into spray on the sur.
face.
The men groaned, the child stared stupe-
fed, and Augusta cried out, "Oh. Oh!r' like
one in pain.
"Row backi" she gasped. .'row back and
see If We cannot pick some of them up"
mo. mol" shouted Meeson, they will
sink the boat!'
"'Taint much use, any way" said John.
ME. II doubt that precious few of them
will como up again. They have gone too
deep"
However. they got the boats head round
,a~gain-slowly enough, Augusta thought
and as they did so they heard a feeble cry
or two. Bat by the time that they had
reached the spot where the Kangaroo went
down, there was no living creature to DO
seen; nothing but the wash of the great
waves, over which the mist once more
CLOSED thick and heavy as a pail. They
shouted. and nee they heard u faint an
sswer, and rowed toward it; but when they
got to the spot whence the sound seemed
to proceed, they could see nothing except
some reckage. They were all dead, their

marked inferiority of this effort, in re-
spect of genuine inspiration, when com
pared with Mrs. Wilcox's earlier works,
Is to be attributed to any actual decad-
ence of her poetic nature. 1t is because
she has undertaken to apply her muse
to a subject with which she is evidently
unfamiliar as TO the technique, and not
being instinctively sympathetic with its
animating spirit, her imagination is in
capable of supplying material for such
fervorous and realistic descriptions as in
her former poems made her eminently
the most torrid Of American singers.
She has attempted to write on some
thing with which she is acquainted more
by hearsay than by actual study, and, as
a result, her genius is powerless for the
production of anything truly worthy Of
her reputation
