Rawlins, Wyo., Dec. Am enthusi-
astic meeting of representative bust

Mining Exchange was held this even

in six to eight hours. A million circu-
lars will be issued by the Union Pa

the most direct route to the new min
ing camp via Rawlins.
Men who have experience in the
Cripple Creek and other mining camp
booms predict that not less than 100, 600
people will visit Grand Encampment

menced at once, and it is expected that
six horse coaches will be carrying pas
sengers over the Rawlins Short Line
within 60 days.

Senator Gray, who is a member of

Unless the storm becalms soon range

and sheep will die in large numbers,
unless the storm is followed by a high
wind sufficient in force to blow the
snow from hills and ridges, thereby
affording feeding places for stock. In
the event of high wind, the railroads
will be blocked by the large amount of
snow. Tonight the mercury is falling
