Jennie
AS has been the custom Of Mr.. Rankin. he took
his wife and daughter out rowing Tuesday even
ing after dinner. Mr.. Rankin rowed for some
time in the neighborhood Of the mill dam. and
then began to talk with his wife. He allowed the
boat to drift with the tide. and II this that
caused all the trouble. There is mill pond
the other side OF the dam. and the party knew
nothing about the hoodgates. by which means the
pond is supplied with water. Through the dam
TO the fioodgates is long stone sluiceway. and
overhead is a bridge which Is used by pedes-
trians in crossing the dam. The locality is dan
gerous the water rushing through the sluice
way at q great speed The boat was drifting in
the direction of the milrace. when Mrs. Rankin
became anxious on account Of the sound made
by the rushing of the water. Mr.. Rankin picked
up the and started TO row away from the
dam. but the bow OF the boat had reached the
sluiceway. and. despite Mr. Rankln's efforts to
get it out of the dangerous place, the boat was
swept under the bridge in the direction Of the
gates Mr. Rankin at once saw the danger OF be-
ing upset. and told his wife and child 10 catch
hold Of the bridge when they came up 10 II. as
ne saw In ii the only way TO safety. When the
boat struck the bridge ii overturned and
Mr. Rankin his wife and daughter were thrown
into the water. Mr. Rankin and his wife caught
the bridge but his daughter missed II. and was
swept under the gates. Rankin. after seeing
that his wife was in position where she could
hold for some time. bravely went TO the rescue
Of Jennie. He found the girl at the gates. her
head partly under water having caught In the
woodwork Of the gates. He Is an expert swim
mer and saw that quick action was necessary to
save his child BY tearing her hair. he succeeded
in freeing the girl. and he was swept into the
millpond with her He kept hold Of Jennie, who
was half-unconscious and managed TO get her
out of the tideway and 10 carry the half-
drowned child ashore She was laid on the
ground while Mr. Rankin rescued his wife. and
then they were taken to the boarding house. The
little girl was revived after some hard work.
Jennie had almost recovered yesterday.

THE HAHN'S PEAK ROAD.

he Travelled.

Of Colorado the Hahn's peak camp 10
attracting the most attention. Some
wonderfully rich discoveries have been
made there and thousands of miners
are only waiting the melting of the
snow to make a rush for that already
famous section. Inquiries are received
here almost daily for information con-
corning the Laramie route, many of
the old timers of 1871 having given it
out that Laramie has a good wagon
road. This is not the case. The road
which was built in 1871 was not kept
in repair and is impossible with a
load. But Laramie has the shortest
and best route and no time should be
lost in putting the road through to
Hahn's peak in first-class condition.
From Laramie to Pinkhamton is 81
miles, and the road from here there lie
a good one. From Pinkhamton to
Hahn's peak is 40 miles. there being .
good road from Pinkhamton to the
west side of the park. The route. would
be just to the north of Mount Zirkel
and there would be about is miles OF
road to be built. This, 1t is estimated,
can be done for 5 1900. a mere bagatelle
when the benefits to be derived from
the road are taken into consideration.
Many people are o aware Of the
fact, but when Denver is taken as a
basis, Laramie is by far the shortest
route. From Denver to Laramie Is
1852 miles. and from Laramie to Hahn's
peak Is 81 miles. From Denver via
Wolcott to Hahn's peak is 61S miles,
with a stage drive Of about 125 miles.
From Denver via Rawlins 1t II over
500 miles, with a stage road 120 miles
long. This is the route which should
be used. and 1t is the route which will
be used II the people bestir themselves
and put 1t in condition for travel. At
the present time 1t is impossible to
travel rel the route via Wolcott for
the aso that the snow is too deep In
the mountains, and that route is i'm
passible for about six months In the
year. Laramie's route could be kept
open all the year and be put in such
condition that heavy loads could be
hauled over it.
There is another confederation
which should not be overlooked by the
people of this city. Aside from the
enormous sums of money which would
necessarily be left in Laramie by the
travellers to the Hahn's peak district,
1t must be borne in mind that every
prospector would have his eyes on the
roadside as he Travelled, and 1t would
be strange indeed II many Of them did
not develop rich mines on the road
from here to the Colorado district.
The resources Of Cummins, Of Douglas
Creek, of Owl and Independence modn-
tains, and Of the North park in gea-
eral would be uncovered and added to
the wealth Of southern Wyoming and
northern Colorado. for which Laramie
is the natural supply point
A meeting Of the board Of trade viii
be held this week, and this matter
should be candidly discussed In all its
bearings. Good roads to the adjacent
mining camps are an absolute ece
sity and every effort should be made to
obtain them in spite Of the crimp Of the
times. Better spend a little more
than lose that which We already have.
