A Lovely Woman Meets a Former SuItor
in the Guise Of a Monster.
1t was in a town not a thousand miles from
Bo~ton that there were recently given a
couple of maslu"l parties at private houses.
At the second Of these tho hostess Of the first
party found herself talkinG very amiably
with "A mask in whom she supposed herself

The gentleman leaned over until his face

TO THE IRON FIELDS.
Inspection by Representatives of
Eastern Capital.
The Party to Leave for Hartyille
District This Morning.
If Reports are Good a Million Will
be Invested.

The long anticipated iron movement is
becoming appreciable.
With the FIRST sign of spring the Hart
vile district took on new life and the
scene in the vicinity of the world famed
iron deposits has since been an active
one. Persistent prospectors who have
never ceased to hope that their claims
would some day yield wealth have per-
formed the required assessment work on
their properties. The capitalists who
more or less willingly invested in thedis-
trict have come to believe that rich re-
turns are within grasp. Cheyenne people,
always confident that the district was to
largely contribute to the growth and en-
richment OF Cheyenne, can almost see the
smoke OF blast furnaces and smelters to
treat the Hartville ores at this place.
Chas. A. Guernsey visited the iron
country some three weeks ago and made
several notable purchases, presumably on
behalf OF eastern people who will de
velop. About this ii me twelve claims
we're located by a rich and powerful syn
dIcate which includes a couple of Chey
enne bankers and which has as its ad-
visor one Of the eminent biologists of
the country. These location notices were
filed for record here at the Office OF the
county clerk
Frank A. Sparhawk,. one OF the terri
tory's leading mining men, came here
Cua-n nuI., Let ,ro. o-l Lit .,n.a
diately for the HartvllIe district. He
made a thorough examination of the
camp, secured several good claims in ad-
dition to those he had already controlled
and was given the call on a number of
other promising lodes Mr., Sparhawk
is an energetic and en~terprising man and
withal keen and shrewd, but of limited
capital and it was thought that he was
the agent of men of money.
The facts came out yesterday when
Mr.. Sparhawk returned from the North
and met here r. A. Connolly of Ash
land, Wis, and R. B. Connolly of Chi
cago. The former is a distinguished iron
expert whose headquarters are in the
Lake Superior region. He has been sent
to the remotest precincts OF the globe to
examine and report on iron deposits,
Together these gentlemen represent a
combination of Eastern iron companies. a
pool of the largest concerns in several big
cities and one that cuts no Insignificant
figure in the iron market of the world.
The Messrs. Connolly and Mr.. Spar
hawk leave for the Hartville district this
morning and will be in the field some
time. The result of their Investigations
will decide on the proposed investment of
a million dollars or more. Favorable
reports have been made on the district by
the noted biologists of the country and
there is rot the slightest cause for doubt
in this direction. The account rendered
will in all human probability mark the
commencement of operations on an i'm
mense scale. The iron is there and the
market demands it.
Mr.. Sparhawk, it Is learned, has been
working for months to interest these
people.

THE BAND BALL.
Fine Music and Il Good Time for the
Large Crowd.

The promenade concert aud dance Of
the Union Pacific band at Keefe hall was
last evenings amusement event and it
was a very satisfactory affair all around,
There were eight concert numbers and
each a perfect gem. Prof. L L. Merritt
led the band. Each selection was ap
plauded vigorously. No classical music
was attempted and everyone understood
and appreciated the airs. The number
arranged by Prof. Merritt was the most
pretententious piece. It was very pretty.
Fourteen dances were on the card.
The taste of the boys IN selecting the
numbers was praised by all. Prof. j. H.
Hutchinson directed the new orchestra of
six pieces and the dance music was pro
nounced simply perfect
LATHE Annie Rooney" as rendered
exquisitely by both band and orchestra,
made a great hit. The walters raved
over it.
The attendance was large. There was
much Joy and the band made quite a lit
tie money. 1t should have made more.
This is the best band Cheyenne ever had
and deserves announcement
