General managers OF important
roads say that east-bound tonnage is
good, but west-bound has fallen of
materially since the Chicago conven-

to go very slow; they are correspond

western and southern customers. A
variety OF opinions come in reply, and
these are shown to railroad men. Rail-
road men think the w%est-bound ton

BACK FROM THE MINES.
THE KANSAS EDITORIAL PARTY
HIGHLY PLEASED WITH
WHAT THEY SAW.
Pleasant Ride to the Camp-Hospi-
table Entertainment at a Trout
Evening-Surprise at the Vegeta-
ton and Flora of the Plains.

The party of Kansas editors who
stopped on here and were conducted to
the Cooper Hill mining district by the
directors Of the Carbon County Mining
company. under the immediate guild
ance Of Messrs. West and Bracken, OF
the company, Secretary Snow Of the
mining exchange and DR.. A. A. John
son returned to the city a little before
noon.
One and all report an exceedingly
pleasant trip and a splendid time gen
orally. The trip out was devoid of ac-
cident, save one loss Of the road, the
party arriving at the camp at 1 O'Clock
p. m, yesterday. The afternoon was
spent IN viewing the mining prospects
OF the district, which were a great sur
prise to the Kansas men. From what
they had heard they were unprepared
for the sights in a mineral way which
were shown them by their old Kansas
friends. They were taken into the sew
eral tunnels on the hill and given an
opportunity to judge for themselves of
the great work which is being pushed
with such vigor by the mining men of
this section.
In the evening a delicious treat was
In store for the party. The boys at the
camp had secured a bountiful supply
of trout from Rock creek, which were
cooked in the highest style of the cul-
mary art and served smoking hot to
The party. Many had never tasted trout
before in their lives and were enthu-
siastic In their expression of thanks
FOR the thoughtfulness Of their hosts.
Supper over the party gathered an
immense pile Of wood on the noun
tain side and had a bonfire. Songs and
stories served to pass the evening
quickly till IL o'clock. when all retired
to resi-.
At 3:45 all were aroused again to
prepare for the return trip to the city
which was begun at $40. the journey
In being made in a little more than six
hours.
Before leaving Laramie the party
had in some manner become impressed
with the idea that they were to cross a
barren, sandy waste, and therefore the
trip out was a pleasure. The wav-
Ding meadows of grass along the Little
Laramie and other streams, and the
beautiful fora Of the plains and noun
tains excited many expressions of sur
prise and wonder, particularly from the
ladies. Upon their return to the city
they had their arms filled with elegant
bouquets Of flowers.
The train from the west being an
hour late today, the party was given
an opportunity to visit the mining ex-
change and examine the specimens
there displayed.
The following ladies and gentlemen
from Kansas composed the visiting par.
ty:
C. N. Knapp and wife, Riley Kans.
r. F. Vaughn and wife, Mankato. Kan.
