A company Of Wyoming capitalists
has been organized, says the Denver
Republican, for the purpose of devel.
oping that portion Of Wyoming known
as the Big Horn basin along Tongue
river and its tributaries on the eastern
slope Of the Big Horn mountains.
They propose to locate a city to be
named Sh9shonc, about fifty miles
south Of the Yellowstone Park at n
point which the promoters believe is
natural intersection for two great
transcontincntal railroads.
The Shoshone river, on which the
proposed city will be located, is a
mountain stream flowing volume Of
water sufficient for utilization for man.
ufacturing and irrigation purposes, and
the company already has its plans ma.
turcd for controlling its waters for this
purpose.
Close to the site Of the new city are
located the Big Horn hot springs, and
the surrounding country is rich in
coal, iron, oil and other minerals
whose development will add grea,
wealth to the community. There is
ample capital behind the enterprise
and active operations will be begun in
very short time.

various charitable organizations. Five
times as many people are engaged in
the effort to relieve those who are hun

tributions, while not as large as the
need demands, are being received in
greater amounts than ever before.
President Wilson Of the health board
estimates the number Of New York 5
unemployed at 1900. Three weeks
ago he directed the sanitary inspectors,
on their rounds among the tenement
houses, to gather statistics with view
to ascertaining the number Of unem.
ployed. Since then the inspectors
have visited l 1850 tenement houses, in
habited by 30, 532 men, women and
children.
Or these, 1874 persons were out of
employment who usually have work at
this season Of the year. Basing his
calculations on this result, President
Wilson figures out that, as the number
Of people seen by the inspectors is
only about one thirty. ninth Of the
actual tenement-house population.
there must be at the present time in
the neighborhood Of II, 900 persons in
this city out Of employment.
