From the Shoshone Valley News we
learn that the Lambs club has estab-
lished a game preserve on Cedar noun
tain, not a great distance from Cody.
This club is made up OF actors, men Of
wealth, and many who have both leis-
ure and wealth, and are constantly in
quest Of some new excitement in life out
side OF the feverish round OF city dissipa-
tons. They will stock the preserve with
game animals, after the manner Of rich
Englishmen in England, and then in
dulge in blood tingling sport Of killing
them when the fancy for a little adven-
ture Is on. The preserve established
by the Lambs club will no doubt be the
means Of eventually bringing a good
many odd dollars into Big Horn county,
but whether 1t will result In any furth-
er good is q question.-Rustler.

RETURNS OF TOM THUMB ORE.

RETURNS OF TOM THUMB ORE.
Attorney W. Z. SORelle of Denver re-
ceived the returns Of a carload of ore
shipped from the Martin mine on
Hahn's peak last week. The ore con-
tanned silver lead and gold and the car
averaged between $40 and $50 a ton. 4
second shipment Of n car load is now on
Its way TO Denver via Rawlins, Wyo.
The shipment requires a great haul of
80 miles overland to the nearest rail
road station. the ore was taken from
an eight-foot vein at a depth of 90 feet,
the evidence being that the ore increases
in value with depth. Owing to the large
amount OF lead in the ore it is regard
ed with special favor by Denver smelt-
ing men. The shipment is regarded as
settling all doubts concerning the fu-
ture Of the Hahn's peak discrict.-Min-
ing Investor.

THE CATTLE SHIPMENTS.

The Enterprise representative was
talking to one of our most extensive
stock growers the other day regarding
the extraordinary heavy shipments OF
young cattle and she stock the past win.
ter from this county to Nebraska feed
ing points.
It's going TO make quite n difference
in the assessed valuation of the county
this spring." remarked the reporter.
The stockman conceded in the opin-
ion, and continuing, said, In my opin-
ion these people who are selling off all
their cattle are. figuratively speaking,
killing the goose which laid the golden
eggs. There never was a mortgage lift
ed in the county that wasn't paid by a
COW, and there is scarcely a ranchnan
within its boundaries that hasn't had
to depend upon his cattle to furnish the
money to keep up the interest on the
mortgage on his homestead and pay of,
the taxes in the fall. The greatest diff
Guilty is going to be experienced in Sc
curing cattle to restock the range. Our
principal source Of supply. heretofore,
for this purpose has beer New Mexico,
Arizona, and other southern states. Fol
several years we have been drawing
heavily on these points, and now our
southern friends haven't got the cattle
to sell us, even if the price wasn't so
high as to practically prohibit purchase.
The climate and natural conditions OF
the southern cattle states prevent heavy
stocking, and they have been drained
ALL they will stand. Mark my Words"
he said in conclusion, cattle are going
to remain high in price on count OF
their scarcity, and many of those who
have been selling all their she stock and
young cattle are going to be losers In
the end by the transaction"
The reporter left the gentleman strong
in the opinion that although some Of his
statements might be productive of much
argument and dispute, yet he was doubt
less telling a whole lot Of solid truth
and facts.-Sheridan Enterprise.

This is a period of inactivity among
the religious organizations, especially
in work Of a church character, but
many Of the organizations are giving
picnics and outings. Several pulpits
have been vacant for two or three
weeks, and in other churches the num-
Der of services have been decreased.
An Island congregation holds Sunday
night meetings at the Bridge park, and
this innovation has proved very popu-
lar. At Bethesda, Ohio, there are many
Belmont county people who are spend
ing the heated term, while the popula-
ton of the camp grounds at Mounds
vile is as large as usual. The colored
people will hold q camp meeting at the
Prohibition Assembly grounds, and pre-
parations are being made for the an
nual camp meeting in the old grounds.
The programme Of services has already
been published, also the names Of the
distinguished ministers who will adj
dress the meetings. 1t is thought that
the operation of the Benwood & South
ern electric railway will bring larger
crowds than usual to the meetings.
They will continue ten days.

FAMOUS SPRINGS AT DEER PARK.

A million and half gallons of the
purest water on earth, is the daily out
put Of the famous Boiling Springs in
Garrett county, Maryland. In order
that nothing can contaminate the
springs, one hundred acres of land
around it are fenced in. In addition, a
wire building covers the springs, so
that leaves cannot fall into the water.
1t is from these extraordinary springs
that Deer Park hotel receives its waite.
supply. the water beng piped direct
to the hotel. The medical fraternity
now concede that in the matter OF
health the question of pure water
stands at the head and front. No Slim
mer resort combines so many health
full features. The air is wonderfully
pure and invigorating; cool nights,
with absolutely no mosquitoes; the
finest cuisine, with perfect sanitary ar
rangements, makes Deer Park hotel
the ideal resort.

The question OF providing for the large
number of sick and wounded persons. male
and female, who are thrown upon the
charity of this city by the smaller towns
within a radius of fifty or seventy-hve
miles. is becoming one of very serious mo-
ment
Not a week passes but two to three or
four cases of this sort are not dumped
upon the town. from railroad traits and
steamboats,, and it at once becom=s 0 OUTS
ton Of attempting to care for them
through sheer charity. or allowing them
TO suffer. or possibly die, without any care
whatever. At the present time there are
something like fifteen of these cases at
one hospital, half-a-dozen at another, and
the county hospital at Elm Grove is full.
Men injured by railroad accidents are
hauled here and left, with no end of growl-
ing if the ambulance or patrol wagon IS
not Immediately called and the patients
removed to the hospital Women suffering
from the most loathsome diseases are sent
here from Sistersville and other river
towns, with the apparent idea that all
that is necessary is to dump the afflicted
off at Wheeling and the city will do the
rest. Steamboats, land the lame, the halt
and the blind here with an abiding faith
that there are plenty of dollars and lots
of medical attention lying in wait for JEST
such cases, and that this city will, some
how or other, take care of everybody The
thing has become an unmitigated evil, and
there must be a stop put to it in some
way or other.
Of Wheeling has
means of taking care of any cases of this
sort. The hospitals are run on the eX-
pectation of obtaining value received for
every case treated and there is no city
hospital for charity patients, and no city
or county appropriation for the care of
people who are not bona fide citizens. The
city makes no provision whatever for any
cases, even the most deserving of cur own
people, and never has done so. The county
maintains a hospital at Elm Grove, but 1t
is exclusively for the INDECENT of our own
population, and strangers are not admit
ted under any consideration.
The private hospitals do not admit char
ity patients, and will not do so, save in the
most exceptional cases, where the people
are our own citizens, and are entitled on
their personal merits to care and medical
aid.
People of surrounding communities
should understand, once for all, that
there is no provision here for sick and
wounded people who cannot pay their
way. and the time is fast approaching. if
it has not actually arrived, when all such
cases arriving here will be promptly ship
ped back to the points from which they
came, at the expense of the communities
forwarding them.
Wheeling and Ohio county has quite as
much as it an do to take care of its own
INDECENT sick and wounded. and cannot
possibly provide for the population of sur
rounding cities and towns.
