foot of the hill when Mr.. Davis collided
with a small pine and the writer's heels
turned up so suddenly that he has been
wondering ever since how it was done.
The boys thought they had never seen
such expert tumblers before nor SO much
can be better for an appetizer than snow
shoeing and the writer has not for years
enjoyed a meal more than he did the
splendid supper which was prepared by
Mrs. Lutte. Next morning while all of
the men had gone down to Mr.. Green's
to pack up some freight (ou their backs.
of course,) Mr.. Lute's IA year old boy
and your correspondent went into the
forty-foot
TUNNEL OF THE LARAMIE
and got some quartz to prospect. The
scribe pounded up a small piece of the
rock in a mortar and PANIED it out but
failed to get a color. The boy then tried
it and got two colors. The writer again
pounded up about a spoonful of rock and
this time succeeded in getting the good
sized color and some flower gold or
very fine colors The Laramie is owned
by Messrs e. j. Lewis. Alex Lutte and
Joseph Poutre. They have never had an
assay oil the ro,k. The Little Bonanza,
owned by the same parties has never
been assayed, but like the Laramie, shows
free gold and pans well. The owners are
confident that their ore will mill $50 a ton.
Snowshoeing up hill for nearly a mile
brought us to the cabin of Mr. J. NJ. Nor
rison, and after dinner another pull of a
half a mile farther up, to the Blue Bell.

those intending to coue into the camp
should come now or wait a few months.
1t is too much to undertake TO advise any
one whether they should come early or
late-or at all. But when one remembers
how people brAyed so many hardships to
cross the plains to California in '49. and a
few years later to Pixies Peak. How they
stampeded into LeAdville, and took
chances on losing their scalps in their rush
to the Black Hills, is 1t not reasonable to
expect hat there will be a great rush in
the early spring 20 this camp which is
only fifty-six miles from the railroad, by
good wagod road. Such will no doubt
be the case as the camp shows wonderful
prospects and no one has any idea Of its
extent.
1t stands u reason that if the country
is to be over run with people those earliest
on the ground will stand the best chance
Of striking it rich. There are now about
fifty men in the camp, and four ladies,
Mrs. j. NJ. Morrison, Mrs. HARRISON,
Mrs. C~urrIKan and Mrs. Alex Lutte. The
latter is a bride of only three weeks. Her
marriage was quite romantic. She and
Mr.. Lutte met for the first time while Mr..
Lutte was returning from Cheyenne, where
he had been to attend the mining con-
vention. Their acquaintance was renewed
and four weeks from the day they first
met they were married and a few DAYS

The original TOWNSHIP of Saratoga or at
least that portion of it which is built
upon is on the lower bottom land and on
both sides of the river, which is spanned
in the center ry a SIC, 900 iron bridge.

carry u SIJ,uun ok of general merchan-
disc. They have a fine bar in connection
with their store and also deal quite heav-
lily in lumber. Their business last year
amounted to SI44, zoo. They have another
store at Swan and are having a building
erected in Gold Hill which will be stocked
with goods as soon as the camp will JUS
tify.
Robert Prison, who also has a store at
Fort Steele, carries a 10000 stock of
general merchandise in his Saratoga store,
of which John Henry is the wide awake
manager. Last year the business of the
store averaged $l,4OJ u month. Mr..
Prison will soon have another store in
Gold Hill. The merchants here have
been 'buckiug each other pretty hard
and conscdu ntly the prospector who
wishes to outfit Tor the new Eldorado can
often do so here os cheap and some times
cheaper than at the railroad.
DR.. w. l.. Joonson says the drug busI-

From a stan Correspondent OF The Leader
GOLD Hull, Carbon County, Wyo.,
Feb. 20.-For many months there have
been indefinite. reports of rich strikes
aud imaginative fairy tales published
about a new mining district of WyumF
ing which is known as Gold Hill. The
task recently undertaken Ly a representa-
tive Of THE LEADER was to visit the
scene, thoroughly examine everything for
himself and while not dIscrediting at least
declining the unsupported testimony of
any interested person and to give the re-
suit to the public fully, faithfully and
truthfully as he found it. This self i'm
posed task he has now accomplished. The
result is given herewith and every reader
of THE LEADER may RELY upon it being
a plain u~nvarnishe6 tale of everything
just as it was found.

ard, is a wideawake man. who is never
slow to loosen his purse strings when there
Is q chance TO benefit the town.
There are two blacksmith shops. s.. +.
McAnulty's IS in the new building on the
west side.
Saratoga has a neat frame school build
ing and a new Episcopal church. Pres
byterian services are held in the school
house. There are no other church socie-
ties vet organized. However, no one
should be DISCOURAGED from coming here
on that account. Rev. DR.. RAIDER, the
Methodist church organizer OF WYOMING
is a rustler and will no doubt soon discover
this place, and in time all of the churches
will be represented.
V. G. Ferguson 4 Co, whose adver-
tisement appears IN this issue of THE
LEADER have a new building on the west
side where Mr.. Ferguson conducts a livery
and feed business. Mr.. Ferguson also
keeps saddle and pack animals for the &C
commodstion of tourists. He has a splen-
did rig that will accommodate twelve pas
senRers and in the summer il IS lust a
rice days drive to Battle lake where he
often goes with a party of pleasure seek
ers. Battle lake is in the Sierra Madre
range Of mountains and covers about I6O
acres. There is plenty of trout in the
lake and abundance of game in the neigh-
borhood.
There are two or three BARRIERS here and
the price of a shave is twenty-five cents.
Not all kinds Of business are represented
aud there is a good opening for a TIN shop,
a harness shop, a bank and a bakery.
The ladies also say a first-class dressmaker
Is badly needed as it now takes six or
seven months to have a new dress made
after giving the order.
Saratoga has what most other towns
have not: A irst-class taxidermist and a
lady editor. Mr.. A. II. Patton is the
taxidermist and no one should be in too
big n rush on their way to the gold mines
to stop and take a look at his stuffed
animals and birds and mounted heads.
The Platte VALLEY Lyre, the only paper
in SARATOGA, is published by two Young
ladies', the Misses Gertrude and Laura
Huntington. Miss Gertrude. who is "a
years old, is the editor, and her sister
Laura who is two years OUNCE looks
after the business interests of the firm.
The young ladies own the plant and the
building and with the help of a younger
brother do all the work. The Lure is
somewhat crippled by its own prejuGices
and the name is not a suitnble one. How
ever, the young ladies have made il
more of a success than any of the meu

The trip from Saratoga to Fort Steel lie
was made with ease and comfort this
morning in four hours by Robert Prison
with whom THE LEADER reporter came.
The stage passed us on the road and beat
us in, but Mr.. Anderson the proprietor
saws that he usually takes four hours and
a halt to make the trip up. Nowhere

Where Is Gold Hill.

Gold Hill is situated amidst rugged
surroundings in the Medicine Bow range
of mountains in Carbon county. 1t Is
about thirty miles north of the Colorado
state line aud thirty-two miles 10 an air
line south Of the main tracks Of tie
Union Pacific railway. The country in
general appearance is similar to the Black
Hills of Dakota, and somewhat like the
Judith mountains 10 Montana surround
ing the mining camp Of Maiden, There
is an unlimited supply of timber and
water. The altitude Of Gold Hill is
10000 feet above sea level. There are
numerous lakes in the vicinity. Mr.. B.
p. Arendell first discovered gold here in
August, 1889. He is now interested IN
more than thirty five claims and it is said
that figuring at the rate claims have been
already sold he could now clean up $lO.-
900 at the very least. So it may be said
that ut least one man has already made
his little stake in the mines of Brush
creek.

with the dance of rage incident to the use,

About l25 locations have been made
here and all in a district about W miles
square. Eleven claims are being worked
and upwards Of l 900 tons OF pay rock are
on the dumps. A custom stamp mill will
pay as 1901 as one can be brought in and
the miners say now is the time TO bring 1t
in. They say that after the snow begins
to melt it will be almost impossible to get
a mill in before August. The writer con-
fdently expects to see several stamp mills
pounding ore in this camp before the end
of the year. If he Is not very much mis-
taken L G, Davis will have a 20 stamp
mill pounding ore from the Blue Bell aud
other claims in which he is interested be-
fore May l or June I at the latest. Mr..
Davis has great faith in the camp and
has interested himself IN a number of
claims.

also shown their faith by investing some
cash in the new mines: Hon J. F. Hit
