TIE FAITHFUL FRIEND.

THE GOLD HILL MINES.
The Downv Stamp Mil Being raker
to the Camp.

ASAHNes"
Messrs. John g. Dyer and Carl Shuler,
Mrs. A. Lmith and Miss Lizzie Rankin
of Rawlins, returned from Gold Hill Fri
day. Mr.. Dyer Is confident that this re-
gion has a great future before it. While
at the camp Miss Rankin descended into
the mines, ffty-four feet under ground,
taking along a pick and chipping speci-
mems to carry home as souvenirs.
Col. Downey came in from Rawlins
last Friday and is now looking after his
interests at Gold Hill. 1t is probable
that the final arrangements in regard to
the setting up of this stamp mill will be
made at this time. Our readers will re-

Placer mining on the river bars still
continues and many strangers have taken
advantage of the opportunity offered to
see Just how it Is done. Sluice boxes and
rockers are curiositIes to the majority,
who have 10 idea as to how the gold is OBJ
tanned. The l~ocators are hard at work on
the "Sarstoga' claim and must have

OBLIVION YAWNS FOR HIM.

OBLIVION "a WIS FOR HIM.
Col. Henry Ramrod Miner, once com
mandcr OF the 18th infantry, was ycster-
day retired from the army because Of age,
and thus is closed another glittering and
effulgent military career. Col. Miner
bore a more or less hypothetical physical
resemblance to Gen. sheridan, but it is
only fair to say that the resemblance be-
gan and ended right there. Upon thus
resemblance, however. most of his fame
a. a military chieitain must ultimately
rest. As for his n%otoriety, that is quite
a different thing For all time to come he
will serve as an example of everything a
commander should not be. 1t was not so
much that lac did wrong 10y design, as
JunIus said of the Duke OF Grafton, as
thai he never happened to do right by ac-
cldent.
There was no mourning displayed at
Fort Russell Yesterday and there were no
hearts bowed down with weight of wee
oyer Miners retirement. On the con-
trary, there was n significant, uervnsive
and contagious joy that trenched very
closely on the domain of u~ndisguised
hilarity.

look ARoUND A LITTLE

The cattle growers OF the state are m
titled to every protection which the law
guarantees says the Laramie Boomerang,
THE CHEYENNE LEADER has unmistak-
ably proven that there is money enough
invested in the cattle industry for the
state to foster it in every way. They pay
% per cent of the tax of the state. The
small grower, however, should Tot be at
the mercy of heavily capitalized organiza-
tons. We do not believe there is any
serious friction between the " classes at
the present time"
While we do not pretend to represent
the stOckmen of the state any more than
any other class of people, still we believe
it is safe to say that all the stockmen de-
sire us the protection which the law
guarantees We do not hesitate to say
that 10 some sections OF the state they are
receiving no protection whatever. This
statement il made deliberately and with a
knowledge of the facts which warrants it.
There are undoubtedly sporadic in
stances of cattle stealing in the state"
continue1 tile Boomerang, "but when the
officials of the state arise almost to a man
and declare that they know of no steal
ing, it Is good evidence Of the fact that
there is very little going on
Unfortunately they haven't risen to any
alarming degree. The RepuJhcan printed
alleged interviews with three officials. from
Laramie, Albany and Carbon counties
respectively. The Laramie .ce4sfty MN
positively denies that ks made the state
ments attributedt5 him, and we have not
yet heard Directly from the other two.
The-foomerang may. however, accept
)kss a deplorable fact that much thIeving
is going on; that 1t is rapidly increasing
and that the owners of several cattle out
fits are sven now looking up new ranges
with the object of removing their herds.
These facts are distasteiul and we wish
they did not exist, but as they do exist
the only thing left rs to meet them
s1uarely and try by all legitimate means
to bring them around to a more s~atsfac-
tory basis.
The case of Waggoner in Weston county
with his big stolen herd and the johnson
county case, where a roundup was held
up and thirty calves deliberately removed
from it las reported by a Buffalo paper
are glazing, palpable facts which no more
newspaper denial can contravert.

NO Joint BUILDINGS.
The Managers of the Worlds Fair
Wont Agree 10 Them.

Mr.. Elwood Mead. secretary OF the
worlds fair commission, returned yestcr
day from Sheridan county. where he had
been before returning home from his Chi
Gag trip.
He is very enthusiastic over the fair
and thinks that it will be the success OF
the age. He says that the manager of
the fair, Mr.. Davis, is & business man
who has the management under complete
control. He understands all of the details
of the exposition and is working hard to
score a big success for the national under
taking.
Mr.. Mead himself was in favor of the
states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming
with the territory of Utah uniting IN a
Joint exhibition building and so stated to
the managers of the fair. Mr.. DAVIS, IN
a conversation with Mr.. Mead, stated
that the managers did not approve OF
such a plan. He said that the states which
were to erect large imposing buildings
had been grouped BY themselves and the
ARRANGEMENTS were so that the smaller
buildings would not be overshadowed by
p%retentious neighbors. The majority of
the foreign countries would probably have
neat, small p~avilion-lik buildings and 1t
would be better for the states to build
similar ones.
Mr.. Mead afterwards held n converse
ton with several members of the board
of managers on the same subject. He
told them that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the several states mentioned, as
well as his own opinion, was in favor of a
joint building. They replied that they
had refused permission to Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin, to build
such a building and could not grant it
now in another case. The four states
mentioned had arrangements made with
each other to build a $l25. 600 structure
but it was not permitted and now they
will each go it alone.
The yisits6thc stzto conmision was
At an opportune time. The place origi-
nally given to Wyoming was about one
quarter Of a mile from the lake and was
not the most desirable. The location was
in a line o. Northwestern states, extend
ing back from the lake and was at the in
land end. Mr.. Mead met the managers
and told them that Wyoming. the young.
est state in the Union, had made the first
appropriation for an exhibition and that
the amount appropriated was more per
capita than any other state. The man
ayers thought his arguments were well
put and gave Wyoming n more favorable
position-the one at first intended for
Nevada. The new site is at the other
end OF the line of state buildings. 1t
is next to the lake and commands a fine
view OF the water as well as OF the land
ing place OF the boats from Chicago. and
the stations OF the trains that enter the
grounds. Montana has had a commits
sioner on the grounds for some time
working for the same place, but he didn't
get it.
The plans for the state building have
been sent 20 Commissioner John s.. Har-
per, but will probably be returned in a few
days when, If the commission agree, they
will he arcented.

THERE never was n time when mining
was receiving so much attention in Wyo-
ming as it is today. This season should
work an era IN the state. Prospecting
has been carried on very extensively and
an unusual amount Of development work
has been doEe. We hope to see some
permanently valuable mines discovered
and operated tins season. A few such
would stimulate prospecting and might
lead to discoveries that would equal if not
o~vershadow the great mines of neighbor-
ing states.
