ROYAL HUNT A FAILURE
Laramie Men Return From Red Desert
Without BuffaIo.
Two Cows We're Captured, but Both Died
at Once.
Herd Numbers About Sixteen and are
Extremely Wary.

On Sept A last, a party consisting of
j. G. Robbins, Jack Hills, Frank Kelly,
w. Woodruff and VIM. Hopkins left
Laramie for the Red Desert. their object
being to capture if possible the small
band OF buffalo known to bAve ~trequented
that region TOR some time past. bring
them TO Laramie and start a buffalo ranch
on the plains similar to that OF Hon. CD.
Jones at Garden City, Kas.
Tney have returned and the Laramie
Republican says it took the party two
weeks to get up there. the trip being
made with wagons and pack horses.
They skirted the northern edge of the
arid waste and then drifted down into its
midst, camping IN the margin of the mud
holes by courtesy called lakes, where a
band of Arapshoe Indians were holding a
grand pow-wow. The aborigines told
them where they void find another water
hole. and they went on to the locality de-
scribed, where they went into camp aud
remained for eight days.
On the first day of the party's arrival
Jack Hill, through his field glass. sighted
a bunch Of bison in the distance. There
we're about fifteen OF them and they were
entirely unsuspicious OF danger. There
was no advance made on them that day,
however. When the chase actually
began. a bunch consisting OF a bull, four
oona anJ n ,o.rI;nc maj. J;aoovouod TIL
bull was a magnificent specimen, and
would be worth a fortune in any museum,
but he was too wary for the hunters.
Jack Hill succeeded, after a good deal of
difficulty, in roping one of the COWS, but
these buffalo unlike cattle, are not able to
stand hardship. If tired out they lose
their wind and do not recover it. The
COW expired on the hunters hands and
her hide and head were taken as trophies
OF the chase.
Later on a 9-year-old COW was captured
but she, too, died and again the head ant
hide alone were secured. 1t bccam,
apparent that the scheme for capturing
the herd and DEMONSTRATING them woulC
not succeed and it was abandoned.
Mr.. Robbins learned positively tina
this bunch of bison on the Red Desert
did not come from the Yellowstone park.

antelope, said that in 1884 the herd mum.
bered 300; in 1887 the number had
diminished to 100 and at the present
time it does not exceed fifteen head. The
extreme cold weather that prevailed dur
ing the winter of lss9-sO and p~reviou.
years proved fatal to the small remnant
of a race that once swept over the plain
by thousands.

THE COAL INTEREST.
Wyoming's Output is 5000 Tons
Every Day.
Twenty-four Mines Operated in Six
Counties.
Galleries in Good Condition and
Prospects Bright.

When the department for the inspec-
ton Of coal mines operlted in Wyoming
was organized the officer had but nine
mines to look after. This was in 1885.
Now there are tw~entY-four mines in
Uinta, Sweetwater, Carbon, Converse,
Weston and johnson on three railways.
Mr.. Epperson thinks there should be
two inspection districts. BE is against
the constitution provision for the geolo-
gist to look after coal mines and says 1t
would be better to abolish the department
for a time.
The coal mines OF the state have stead
ilY improved, with possibly one or two
exceptions, and these latter cases are the
result of mistaken ideas of econamy. Val
liable and substantial Improvements have
been added in many places and arc being
supplied quite generally. Capacity for
output has been largely increased and at
present the total is not less than 49, 0
tons daily. The demand for Wyoming
coal has kept pace with the ability to
meet it. The rapidly increasing output
Of the mines and the demand for the coal
will only be limited by the power OF the
transportation COMPANIES to movo it for
years to come.
As an evidence Of the improved con-
dition of the mines, Inspector Epperson
cites that the ratio Of accidents to tonnage
produced has been very materially re-
duced, and as compared with older states.
where mining laws have been in force for
years, we have reached what is a mini
mum in the way of mishaps, and 1t Is
hoped that this will be continued. 1t can
be done by an intelligent and careful
management on the part of the operators.
The inspector makes the point that the
safety of the miner depends largely on
his own caution.
During the year there has been labor
tronble a couple of times, notably at
Rock Springs, involving the Union Pa
ci6c mines only. The differences were
not serious. The late tonnage trouble is
given. Other than this employers and
employees seem in harmony.
The outlook for the future is must
promising for the Wyoming coal industry.
Prospecting all over the state Is develop
ing a good character of coal and in vast
quantities. In fact in seems to be almost
unlimited. and when transportation COM
panies traverse the state sufficiently to
warrant Its development and handling we
may claim for our field that Wyoming
will supply the north half of Kansas. Ne
braska, the Dakotas Montana, Idaho,
Nevada and California. No state in the
Union has the known area and quantity of
coal of Wyoming"

said a tramp sitting by a stove in a all
night saloon yesterday morning. II
haven't made SIS this year, but it's all
my own fault. Last May | had a good
job in Nevada. 1 got an idea that l could
do better back in Illinois, where l lived
in 1876. The old state wasn't what she
had been and l hit the trail. During the
summer l slid through Indiana. Ohio,
lows, Pennsylvania, New jersey, New
York, Vermont, Maine and Canada and
a great season I've had. 1 wanted to
work and tried to get it, but
there was nothing to do. 1 was run in as a
7agrant half dozen times, but never had
to stay long. In Iowa they put the gang
on bread and water the first five days.
In Vermont they can send you to the
pen for a year. Down in jersey a po-
Hceman under suspension took me in and
by telling the Judge that L had frightened
a woman and confessed hat | was a thief
had me sentenced to sixty days and was
himself restored to duty.
'In Pennsylvania it looks like half the
inhabitants are tramps. They would
have every Jail in the state full in two
hours if they commenced arresting the
tourists. There are men OF the road
there who have been cumming twenty
years. They are divided into the
railroad fraternity and the hay NOV
brotherhood. The fellows who stick to
the railroad have a good many crooks in
their ranks, but the hay NOW a duff
fers are too lazy to steal. These lads
travel about FIVE miles a daY, striking the
farmers TOR feed and sleeping in the hay.
1 ran across one fellow who had a COM
plete crook outfit and camped in style.
There are tramps in that country who
know more people than a politician and
more family history than an old maid.
When a crime is committed the gang
has a good scare, for everything Is laid to
tramps and everybody is preiudiced against
them.
The only work I've done this year
was on the railroad to Deadwood. AT
one of the new towns up there they have
a boarding boss who was here in Chey-
enne in early days. hes a great schemer
and the way he works tenderfeet is a eau
ton to cats. If some strangers drop
around just before meal time he calls his
wife out aud asks what she has for the
feast. The old woman is up to the racket
and says they have oyster soup, chicken
with French dressing and turkey with
cranberry sauce. Well, the tenderfOot who
hears this bill OF fare is roped in and antes
up six bits in advance. The meal he gets
is never anything better than biscuits that
would make good ballast, bacon, potatoes
