a new church, and at meeting OF the
congregation he made motion To this
effect: ~ move that we decide to have
a new church." He put the motion him

Il will make another motion If can get
anybody to second IT," and he added:

by all odds. There are many people
living in Laramie now who remember
very we'll the heavy freight outfits
which Bell used to take over the road.
The secretary Of the mining ex.
change. Mr.. E. P. Snow, said he was in
receipt of a letter from parties who had
some heavy machinery which they de-
sired to take into the Hehn's peak dis
trict making inquiries as to tine con-
dition of the road from this place.
Mr.. Fox stated that a party stopped

BEST HE EVER SAW,


Messrs. CT. Wray and Frank Stanton
are in the city rom the mineral belt to
the east. These gentlemen are men OF
experience n are filed with enthusi-
asm over the prospects which they
have seen. In conversation with a rep
resentative of The Republican last
evening, Mr.. Wray stated that the sur
face indications in the mountains east
OF this city are the most wonderful he
ever saw. The scene Of his present
operations is about IA miles east OF
Laramie. near Pole mountain. Mr..
Wray has visited the prospect upon
which Mr.. Leroy Grant. Charles E.
Carpenter and others are working, and
says he believes they have a wonderful
discovery. He prOnounces the ore a
tellurium and says If 1t does not run in
to the thousands when depth is at
tained, he will be greatly mistaken.
MI. Wray says the Table mountain
prospects continue to show up good,
but 1t is his opinion that better mines
will be developed nearer the top of the
