THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
Captain Varnum gave an informal
lecture on the Custer massacre to the
cadets and the United States history

SCHOOL OF MINES.
A large still has been fitted up in the
assay laboratory of the school of

commercial analyses of Wyoming Pc

department of the school of mines is
becoming more and more useful to the
mineral industry of the state. Last
month nearly one hundred assays were
made for Wyoming prospectors and
miners, with merely a nominal charge
for materials used.

a sample of Salt creek petroleum, by
the IL process. The result was a
series of 10 grades of smooth, almost
perfectly pure oils, ranging from a
colorless. high grade kerosene to a
heavy lubricating oil. The results of
the vacuum process seem to indicate
that with proper management Wyo-
ming will produce a high quality illu-
minating oil. as well as machine oil
