down there went at the business by
calling a mass meeting. which in turn
named committee to prepare the
needed statistics, says the Beaver
Utonian. The report is very full and
interesting but it is not essentially
different from the reports of other
counties. But at the close are some
resolutions which are directly to the
point. First, there is a statement
that, though the county has been set
tledAl thirty-four years, the nearest
point to a railroad is 115 miles. and
the result is unnaturally slow devel-
opment Then the fact is noted that
the Nevada Southern railway is being
built north from the Atlantic & Pacific
on its way to the iron and coal re-
gions of Iron county, and, inasmuch
as IT must come either by Phoebe, New.
or by St. George, the resolutions de-
clare that the natural inducements
are greater via st. George, and for
NAL invitation TO the company to come
their way is extended, and the gift OF
all necessary grounds for depots, etc,
is rendered. -.

Adventure ON the clearwater.

On Tuesday morning hunting party
consisting of Fred higgins. Fred Bow
man. Charles and William Chamber
lain started home and endeavored to
cross Clearwater at the crossing Of the
trail in the Big Cove. William Cham
berlain was ahead, the packhorse ahead
of him. When in the center OF the
stream Chamberlin's horse struck a
rock and turned over, getting away.
Chamberlin fortunately got hold OF a
rock and held himself there until Fred
higgins pulled the saddle from his
horse. stripped off most of his clothes,
and after four different efforts got his
horse swimming across the river above
Chamberlin and let a rope down to
him. When they landed on this side
Chamberlin was completely exhausted,
and almost chilled to death. higgins
clothes were also on the other side of
the river The pack horse, however,
had crossed and they wrapped them
selves in blankets and went down the
river a short distance to where it runs
through a narrow canyon and had the
boys on the other side throw across
some matches with which they kin
died a fire. The boys had crossed the
river at the same place a few days
before, but the heavy rains had raised
the river four feet and shut the boys
up so they were unable to get their
horses more than a short distance
either way The cold weather had
checked the raise of the water and
the boys attempted to cross with the
result as above.

Good for Lnra mic.

The contract for 10000 tons of steel
rails just given by the Union Pacific
will prove good thing for the Lara
ME mill and will be the means of
giving steady work to what is known
as the big mill for from four to six
months. This means many thousands
of dollars to the town.
The Laramie mills will be called upon
to make the iron angle bars to be used
for the 10000 tons of steel rails, and
as they weigh about thirty-fiye pounds
each, it will be seen that the coming
order will probably be the largest ever
received from the company for this
kind of work.
Last year the big mill was kept going
for considerably over two months on
an order for the bars for $4,000 tons
of rails, and the new order will keep
it in operation fully twice that time,
which means steady work for the en-
ployees during the sumrner.-Laranie

twenty TO forty miles below here. the
crumbled remains of five different Az
tee towns that formerly contained (ac-

20 900 population. Excavations are soon
to be made to expose the walls of
dwellings, buried by sand from the
hills. Near by is a canyon filed with
sand that formerly furnished water.
Broken pottery arrow heads, and
stone axes prove the identity of the
race to be the same as that which left
peculiarly built towns in northern Mex
leo and northern New Mexico and Ariz-
ona. They were a people who built
towns in hills for defense and farmed
the river lands. Their discovery here
shows that Agriculture was carried on
by irrigation by the prehistoric race
and a dense population was supported.

Oil Tanks Mt Casper.

The officers of the Elkhorn road Wis
tied Casper the latter part fslast week
and made arrangements for the con-
struction of oil tanks at that city. 1t
is also rumored that the company in

to tap the oil fields. There is a great
deal of activity in that region over
oil and now that the world is made
to recognize the value of the product
there will be something done with it
beyond question. In the face of a
large demand freight rates will come
down because railroads fear COMPETE
ton more than anything else. If the
ments, then other railroads will head
towards that country and competition
will displace exorbitant prices.-Sun.

the pulse of the meeting. There was a
movement for an assessment of l per

one-half OF 1 per cent. assessment, or
tax or no tax, which resulted in a de-
feat for the friends Of education and

lost his memory as completely as if he
had never had a brain. He is alive and
well, goes about just like any ordinary
person, but can recall nothing of his
past life. His mind is a blank. He
does not remember his wife nor his
mother. Though he had a good educa-
ton, he has forgotten how to read or
write. and the multiplication table has
fed into regions from which he cannot
recall it. He remembers that a face
is familiar, but that is all. The name
OF anything about the person he can
not recall. The accident bringing such
consequences occurred on the 18th of
October. Young Hunter was working
on a locomotive in the railroad round
house in West Oakland when an iron
plug was blown from steampipe and
struck him on the head, fracturing the
brain. He was removed to Dr. Wool
sey'S hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton and placed under the care of DR..
Dunn. A large part of the skull, where
the iron struck it, was splintered and
pressed inward against the brain. So
serious was the case that it seemed
almost hopeless to attempt to save the
mans life. Nevertheless the attempt
was made. and from the sureeon's
standpoint it was a most successful
operation. Hunter lived. The splinter
ed portion of the skull, measuring
about two inches in width by four
inches In length, was carefully removed
and the pressure upon the brain re-
lieved. 1t was then seen that the spin
tered bone had lacerated the mem
brane of the brain. The doctors then
began to cultivate the injured brain
and its coverings. The process of graf
ulation has gone on day by day until
the entire membrane has been restored.
The gap in the scalp will now be re-
paired by the difficult operation which
involves the use of skin CRAFTS taken in
long strips from some other portion of
Hunters body.
For a period of four weeks after the
accident Hunter lay in his cot in the
hospital unconscious. He gave no sign
of life save that he breathed. Suddenly
one morning consciousness returned
and memory was gone. All his past
was blank. DR.. Woolsey asked him
his name, but Hunter only shook his
head and looked at him wonderingly.
Paper and pencil were given him and
he wrote the letter "g'' but conId 90
no further and gave the paper back.
When his mother and his wife visited
him he looked at them for awhile and
then said that the faces seemed famil-
lar, but who they were he could not
say Hunter is now able to walk about
and is to all appearances well. He re-
members what is told him, talks in
telligently about everything that has
happened since his return to conscious
ness. but back of that he cannot 90

The Jackson Hole Country.

Major Collier, inspector of govern
ment surveys, gives an interesting de-
scription of the Jackson hole country,
which lies directly south of the Yellow
stone park. 'The valley" said he lis
about sixty miles long and eighteen
miles wide. I should say it contains
over 100000 acres of land perfectly
adapted to agricultural pursuits. The
elevation is about 5000 feet. All the
streams are sunk just far enough to
prevent overf1ows during the spring
freshets, and the banks are not high
enough to make it inconvenient to
take the waters out for irrigation pur-
poses. There is an abundance of water
to irrigate the whole basin at a very
small cost.
"There is an abundance of game of
all kinds. 1t is an ideal place, although
during the long winter months the
country is practically shut off from the
rest of the world, except to adventur
Gus men on snowshoes. The hole now
contains a population of sixty men and
five women, but Improvements are not
very far advanced.
1.-The scenery is in many respects
sublime. The country is natural

tains should be included in the park.
"a good quality of coal has been
found III the basin and there are prob
ably other minerals there as well. All
it needs is a railroad to carry 1t away
and find a market for the overplus OF
what could be raised. It would be
hard to conceive a more favorable sec
ton in this latitude, and the day is not
far distant when Jackson's hole will be
the home of hundreds of prosperous
families
