To the Editor OF the Leader.
CHEYENNE. Dec l6.-The action OF
the city council 10 awarding the viAduct
contract TO the lowest bidder, George
East OF Cheyenne, is above criticism, he
agreeing to comply with all tho condi-
tons exacted. The trouble is that those
conditions should have included the use
Of Wyoming stone, thus developing and
fostering an infant industry 10 the state.
which Is destined to add largely to its
wealth and influence. This condition
would also attract TO this region mechan-
les whose purchases could not fail to en-
hanoe the business of our Cheyenne mer-
chants and prove beneficial to the enUlre
community.
The stone used 10 the construction Of
the new railroad shops is procured and
dressed in Strong 'City, Kansas. OF
what benefit is that to he city OF Chey-
enne or the state of WyominE2 None
whatever. But if the stone had been
quarried in Wyoming and cut in Uhey

entire community As to the extent OF
the quarries or the beauty and durability
of the stone examine the new Methodist
church, the Alert hose house. and the
new school house. all being built Of native
stone and cut IN the city OF Cheyenne.
The object OF this article Is to call the
attention of the people generally to the
benefits nccruing from the patronage of
home industry.
Within the city limits are vast fields of
the finest clay, and our brickmakers can
produce an article which will rank with
the best, and yet our native supply is left
undisturbed, while hundreds of thousands
Of brick are shipped frum Colorado for

A howl OF indignation went up on all

Anthracite Coal Waste.

The coal waste commission appointed
to consider the question Of coal wastein
Pennsylvania, consisting Of Messrs. J.
a. Price, Ecilley B. Coke and P. w.
Sheafer, has issued circular letter ask
Iog for Suggestions and information as
TO the best means of diminishing waste
in the mining Of coal in the future as
well as of utilizing the mountains Of
culm now existing in the anthracite dis
trlct. The commission consists Of three
of the best informed and most practical
coal operators in the state. 1t might be
supposed that these men could furnish
information on the subject instead OF
asking for IT, and so they probably can
and viii at the right time.
They are well enough informed, how
ever, TO realize that in multitude Of
counselors there is wisdom. and their
appeal to those who as well as them
selves have been making a study of this
subject is fully justified. The anthracite
coal field is now well defined. and it is
scarcely probable that any considerable
new deposits Of this valuable and neces-
sary fuel viii be discovered in the United
States. Under the present wssteful sys-
tenn of mining by which scarcely more
than one-third of the coal is utilized for
actual use this supply will be exhausted
at furthest in a couple of centuries. It
is quite time therefore that some better
system should be employed If possible.
