Casper Mountain Copper.

The thing which overshadows all others
lust now in the minds of Casper people is
the prospects for a great copper camp at
Eadsville or Copperopolis on Casper
mountain. Eadsville or Copperopolis Is
to be the name of the future copper
camp of Wyoming. Now it is called by
either name as suits the speaker or writer.
Q. W. Eads is the man who first began
prospecting in the camp, hence the name
Eadsville, and Copperopolis, as will be
seen, is suggestive of copper and sounds
very well.
Saturday, Jan. %, your correspondent,
in company with Capt. @. w. Eads, made
the trip to the farthest copper find on the
mountains and returned the same day.
The first seven miles we made in a buggy
and the remaining distance with saddle
horses, though we thought 1t safer in some
places to walk and lead the horses on ac-
count of the deep snow. We faced ter
rife wind until the mountain was reached,
and what seemed strange was that on top
, 1892-02-07

OF the mountain where one could see a
hundred miles in every direction, it was
warm with no wind.
A SIGHT WORTH SEEING.
There are many points from which sew
eral mountain ranges can be seen at one
glance, but IN one respect the view from
Casper mountain eclipses almost any
other. Not only can the Big Horn range,
l25 miles north; the Seminoe and Ferris
mountains, 65 and 70 miles west; Elk
mountain and the Medicine Bow range,
100 miles to the south, be plainly seen.
but far away to the northeast are hills
and prairie. Right down there" go
miles away IS Oil mountain, and look
ing right through the canyon through
which we have climbed Its abrupt, rocky
walls, are relieved BY the brown prairie
and CASPER nesting like a gem at the
edge Of the silver stream 5000 feet below
our ieet. Grand indeed is the view from
the top of Casper mountain, which looks
to be only a low range of hills as seen
from Casper.
ROUGH AND READY MINES.
The only occupants of Eadsville on
our arrival were a woman and her two
children. The BOYS" had zone off after
a mountain lion or some other wild ami
NAL, and had taken every pair of snow
shoes, 30 that We had a rather hard time
wading through deep snow to some of the
copper claims. At camp again the min
ers were seen. They were a rough look
ing lot, apparently not having cut their
hair or shaved since the first discovery on
Casper mountain-if indeed since the
mountain was formed. A more free
hearted, better lot OF fellows, however,
we're never met. They have pinned
their faith to that old mountain and are
holding it down In spite of all opposition
and by the help of no one.
The majority of Casper merchants are
from Western Nebraska, or at least know

CASPER AND VICINITY
Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, PlainfeId, Ill. ,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled IN her lungs; she was
treated for a month by her family ply
siclan, but grew worse. He told her she
was a hopeless victim of consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption; she bought a
bottle and to her delight found herself
benefited from the first dose. She continued
its use and after taking ten bottles, found
herself sound and well, now does her own
Homework and is as we'll as she ever was.

and contemplate early development, the
Boston Syndicate, who own so. 900 acres,
G. G. Wright of Casper, Casey of Omaha
and associates, 60. 900 acres, and there are
still others of whom no particulars were
learned.
Right here it may be proper to say that
these oil companies have not been men
toned for pay. As a rule all of the par.
ties interested in oil lands or development
work are r~etieent rather that communica-
tive, and mention of them is made sim
ply to show that while the work of locat-
ing and developing oil lands about Casper
has been going on quietly, men of promi-
hence all along the line from Ogden to
the Atlantic are interested.
OTHER RESOURCES.
A few miles northeast OF Casper are
the Gill soda lakes and also the FRY soda
lakes. Bartlett, Hartley & 1ba own the
20O-acre lakes thirty FIVE miles northwest,
which a~nalyze "a and 80 per cent pure
soda. Silicit crystalline quartz is found or
Casper mountain. The same quartz is
extensively used In France.
LOOK FOB SHEEP.
They say in this country where you sec
nothing else, look for sheep. Next season
125, 900 head of them will be sheared nea,
Casper and this point will be second only
to Rawlins in the shipment OF wool. There
are some big horse ranches west OF
here, and one big cattle outfit,
the CY, still remains. The streams
emptylng into the Platte from the south
are settled with prosperous small ranch
men and farmers.
A GOOD INVESTMENT.
With SO little development done and
yet SO much to be developed, with such
resources as surround Casper, the county
seat of Natrona county, the county bonds,

CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.

CENTRALLY LOCATED.
A glance at the map will show that
Casper and Lander are equally distant
from the geographical center of the state.
Some Casperites claim this will some day
be the capital. However that may be
this place seems bound to boom and that
very soon, whether the road is extended
or not.
H OWNERS OF CASPER.
The townsite of Casper is owned by
Senator Carey and the Fremont, Elkhorn
& Missouri Valley Railroad
w. f. Dunn handles the railroad com.
panY's property and also that of Carey.
CASPER NEWSPAPERS.
Strangers always Judge OF a place by its
papers and that is WHY, as stated else
where, one finds Casper not quite up to
his expectations. The Derrick dem by
z. L. Mcnamara and Tribune (Rep by
j.. K. Wait are neat, well gotten nm
papers and are ahead of the town, and
that In the face of the fact that there are
some OF Casper's citizens who are not ex-
tremely lavish with their patronage of
newspapers. How the Casper papers get
out such creditable sheets is hard for a
newspaper man to understand unless their
circulation in the country is larger than
would naturally be expected in a sparsely
settled community.

Casper has two good hotels, tho Went
