FIRES THE FIRST GUN.
The Board Of Trade Wants an Iron
Blast Furnace.
II Holds q Special Meeting Yester-
day and Says So.
The Meyer Mine Prospects We're
Fully Discussed.

The Cheyenne Board of Trade held u
special meeting Yesterday afternoon. The
meeting was called for the purpose Of tax
Ing some steps concerning the iron blast
furnace which will be erected here in the
near future. The members present were
Messrs. Slack. Jeffrey, Parshall. Roberts,
jerks. Riner and Sturgis.
The subject was discussed at length
and from every advantage and disadvan-
tsge possible to conjecture. 1t was de-
cided by every one of the members pres
ent that an iron blast furnace was one of
the best things CHEYENNE could have; that
she would get 1t was not for a moment
doubted. but that the quicker it was Sc
cured the better. and that her citizens
should be up and dong. The members
argued that the old principal of THE hot
ter was the war, the quicker was the
peace" and said that the Board of Trade
and every other business organization
should unite, rally under the banner OF
prosperity that had lately been flung to
the breeze above Cheyenne and take
formal steps toward getting the prize.
The Meyer iron mines. only thirty-fve
miles distant from Cheyenne. we're dis
cussed. In these mines were stupendous
quantities of iron ore. There were other
mines in close proximity to the Cheyenne
district that were only awaiting the de-
veloping touch of capital, and 1t was high
time that the citizens of Cheyenne we're
up aud hustling. They would learn that
the bone and sinew Of all progress and
business was started and sustained by
home people. After much business like
discussion by all the members present
concerning Cheyenne's future, a COM
mittee was appointed by the Board of
Trade to investigate the Meyer mines and
report their condition to the Board of
Trade at their earliest convenience.
An official report Of the result Of an
assaying experiment will be made by
some expert Omaha assayists in a
very few days. So also will an Eastern
assayer of high repute examine the ore.
Mr.. Meyer went out to the mines yester-
day. 1t now looks like Cheyenne will not
only erect the smelter for the smelling Of
precious ores but that the iron that is,
fgureatively speaking, right at Cheyenne's
door, will also be taken care of here.
After some further preliminary steps the
board adjourned.

Gus Heege, the star of lyon Yonson,"
the Swedish farce comedy, has a six-year-
old son who delights in watching his
fathers performance from the wings.
Heege speaks throughout the play in Swed-
fsh dialect, and it is said that the little boy
knows every one of his fathers lines. One
night Heege found it necessary as he left
the stage to reprimand the little boy for
some trifing prank. The little fellow
looked up into his fathers eyes precisely as
Yon Yonson looks in the play and remarked
solemnly, II gass you got hold wrong fell
ler." The imitation of accent and tone
was perfect. The boy was not punished.

of the interior for his approval an order

$4,000 acres of land in Wyoming with a

rock of very singular crystal-like forma-
ton, .he crystals reaching from the base

HIGH SCHOOL EXERCISES
A Large Audience Listen TO an Inter-
estIng Programme

Fully 500 men, women and children at
tended the Worlds Columbian fair exer-
cises at the high school auditorium yester-
day atterternoon. The programme. as pub
lished BY the local papers yesterday morn
ing was carried out. 1t consisted Of music
by the several choirs of the city schools,
essays, declarations, o~rations and a mum
Der Of specialties. The two lecture rooms
were thrown together, and even then
standing room was at a premium.
When the pupils had finished their part
of the programme the two principal ad-
dresses of the occasion were delivered.
The speakers were A. A. johnson, presi-
Dent of the state university at Laramie,
and Mrs. Frances E. Hale, president of
the Wyoming lady commissioners to the
Worlds Columbian exposition at Chicago.
Mrs. Hale spoke of the work the la
dies of Wyoming were engaged In for the
good of the state at the great fair. She
said the women would not undertake to
make a special exhibit of woman's work
from this state.
The reason for this. she said, was that
there was scarcely an avocation extant IN
the world and more especially in Wyo-
ming, in which women were engaged in
anything alone. They were side by side
with the other sex in all the professions.
and in the business world they were en-
gagged in every department-even were
they successful in agricultural aud horti-
cultural work.
She took occasion to tell her auditors
that she and a large number of Laramie
county women had organized a local asso-
ciation for the benefit Of all the women of
the state wha desired to make an exhibit
at the fair or take part therein. She
closed by saying: when Wyoming Wis
itors get to the fair in Chicago next year
and come round to our state building,
you will find hat the women have ar
ranged to have a place for you to rest and
secure refreshments and l hope to see a
great number of you there"
President johnson then delivered a
brief address, in which he said, In part:
"All the high schools OF the state, espe-
cially those at Cheyenne, Laramie, Raw
Inns and Evanston, will be asked to take
part in the worlds fair. | am arranging
also for the state university-for our sixty
uniformed cadets and as many uniformed
glrls-to take part. Every schools ex-
hibits will be classed under Its own colors.
All the high schools. [ think. lave already
declared what colors they want. At the
university we have adopted yellow and
brown, a combination of the sunhower
colors, and 1 must say it shows up remark
ably well. [ want some written examina-
ton papers from a number of pupils of all
the high schools. and with the funds at
my command 1 will have them printed
and han 1somely bound in neat and suita-
Bile bindings. The name of the teacher,
pupil aud person holding the examination
will be placed in bold type at the bottom.
Upon the inside will be the original ex-
animation, thus enabling all who desire
to see the original can turn to it at pleas
ure."
After this address the song Star
Spangled Banner''w was excellently rendered
by the whole schools and the exercises
were over.
