well as other Wyoming towns, but hers
is going on in a very quiet way. A few
weeks since a vein of quartz bearing silver
was found within a mile and a half of
town. Assays of different lots taken from
the surface showed about sever ounces of
silver and a small amount of copper. A
tunnel is now being run to tap the vein
about forty feet below the surface crop
pings, and In the event of its being found
there, more extensive operations may be
looked for soon.

tural products are going to be abundant.
Talk about dull tines No less than
$40, 900. according TO a well informed
builder, has been put into repairs and
new buildings in Evanston 50 far this sea-

building season never begins till June,
that is saying enough Tor one small town.
Everything is improving. More men are
being put to work 10 the shops. More
work is being done along the road. Mum
Der seven mine this week began putting
out forty carloads of coal per day. Grad
ing the streets progresses. though not very
rapidly. and the talk of a railroad direct
to Salt Lake IS revived by the incorpora-
ton of a company to build a road from
that place to the Wyoming line, and why
shouldn't we be happy?

fire department went down there and laid
them out.
