Park county has attracted general
attention during the last year or so as
the result of the opening up of several
mining regions Of prominence. The
new camp of Puma City, which has ex-
perienced q rush Of prospectors, besides
the development Of half a dozen
claims into shipping properties, has
been an eye-opener to all VINO nave
interested themselves in its progress.
The Alma district is another camp of
considerable Importance. Quartz
mines and placers are being operated
here at large profits. The Tarryall Is
a district that has a brilliant future
before it, judging by the quality Of the
ore that comes from there to the Dem
yer smelters.
Freshwater is another district that
is coming rapidly to the front. Gold,

had done, was frantic with grief. He

ly invited to meet in mass convention
in Audubon, June % and 26, 1897. The
convention will be held under the Joint
auspices of the National. American
Woman Suffrage Association, and the
Iowa Equal Suffrage Association.
Able speakers will be present, and an
entertaining, instructive program will
be provided.
-Four states, Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, have already granted
full suffrage to women, while twenty
six additional states have admitted the
Justice of the claim by extending par
tial suffrage. The states which have
had full opportunity to observe the
advantages Of woman suffrage, unite
i'm the testimony that it has proved
beneficial in every direction. 1t has
in no way injured men, women or the
state. Instead, under its influence,
women have become more intelligent
and self-reliant; good men have been
encouraged by the moral aid of wo
men, and have sought the publication
of politics, which they were unable to
accomplish alone; while the state has

Important business concerning
methods of work best suited to hasten
the establishment of woman suffrage

be considered in the convention. The
friends of suffrage are invited to aid
in the formation of these plans; the
Indifferent are invited to attend the

and the opposed are invited to take
part in the discussion, presenting their
