The Wind River range of mountains.
covering an area of % miles by 125
miles, are covered with the heaviest
fall of snow known in the memory of
the oldest inhabitants in the Lander
valley. The snow is six feet deep, and
in some of the gulches 40 feet deep.
This heavy snowfall is hailed with de-
light by the farmers and stockmen of
Fremont county, as it insures an album
dant supply of water for the sheep and
cattle, as we'll as the irrigating bitches
of the farmers. The large increase in
agriculture and stock raising makes an
increase of water a necessity, and this
heavy snowfall meets the demands for
this season.

south of this city. Fisher was one of
the very early settlers in Wyoming,
coming into the territory long before
the railroad. His horse was found
first lying dead with the saddle turned
under its body. Fishers body was
found fully five miles from the horse.
1t is supposed that becoming chilled,
he was thrown from his horse and lay
where he fell and froze to death.

The Salt Lake Mining & Improve
ment association of this city, which
has been hard at work for the past
ten months in the operation and devel-
opment of what is generally known as
the old Ashbrock mine. in Ashbrook
district. Box Elder county, this state,
has met with such marked success in
the treatment of ores from the mine
with its little mill that it has felt justi-
fed in making additions to the plant,
and with this in view has increased the
capacity of the works by the purchase
of a 25-ton Huntington mill, which is
now being hauled from Kelton, on the
S. p. road, to the mill site at the mine,
the expectation being that it will be
grinding away on ore inside OF the next
two weeks.
For the present the motive power for
the plant will be steam, which has been
utilized for the past six months in the
operation of the little plant now in use,
but in the spring il is the intention
of the association to harness the water
power nearby and thus reduce milling
expenses to a minimum.
Work has been in progress all winter
in the development of the mine, and
Secretary Roberts states that the
showing in the workings of the prop
erty at the present time would indicate
that they will be able to take out ore
in sufficient quantities to keep the mill
going to its full capacity for an indefi-
mite period. it being the calculation this
spring to put in more pans and settlers
in order to make a recovery equal to
the crushing capacity of the works
The association is now giving employ
ment to a force of 10 men, and it is the
intention to add to this force in the
near future.
Manager j. II. Paris. who left for the
mine last night predicts that there
viii be a great deal of activity in that
section this spring and summer, and
he states that a few miles north of the
Ashbrook, just over the Idaho line and
in the near vicinity of Almo, the min
ing fever has beer raging of late to
such an extent that locations have been
made on the snow, while a few miles
south, in Park Valley district, the home
of the Century mine, considerable pros
pecting is even now going on, the indi-
cations being that a number of import
ant discoveries will be made there this
season

Hennessev at Park CITY.

Park City, Feb. 17.-Mr. NJ. H. Hen
nessey of Salt Lake is visiting old Park
City friends. Mr.. Hennessey came to
Park City in 1873, and is quite familiar
with the mining properties here, where
he worked for many years. He does not
think that the present depressed condi-
ton of the camp so serious as in the
early sos, when the Ontario, which was
the only paying property, was nearly
flooded with water, when it seemed al
most hopeless to continue work. That
was before the big Cornish pump was
purchased, and the two drain tunnels
run.
Mr.. Hennessey is interested in the
Adelaide mine at Golconda, New. The
property is in promising condition, al
though the work is impeded by large
quantities of water. improvements are
now being made on the concentration.

being that the quartz horns well, show
ing many colors to the pan. although
the exact value of the mineral has not
been fully determined as yet by fire
assay. Still the indications are that
the ledge is large one, and that the
ore carries excellent milling values.
Mr. Mcleod also stated that he was
still hosting high grade ore from the
body of mineral disclosed in the Charlie
Ross, while, in prospecting the surface
ground he had cut a continuation of
the same rich mineral chute in two
different places.
It is expected that Mr. Mcleod will
arrive in the city within a week or two
with a shipment of the rich ore from
the Charlie Ross, concerning which so
much has been said during the past
two or three months.
DR.. Nelson is an enterprising gentle
man, and energetic, and it is his in
tention to create quite a metropolis in
Eagle Valley district, the new aspirant
for public favor TO be named Nelson
City, and as the location is admirably
SELECTED in one of the most picturesque
spots. to be found in the south, and
the climate is salubrious and delight
full, while there is an abundance of
timber around, accompanied by streams
and springs of the purest mountain
water, it would not be surprising, in
time, to hear that the new town had
enjoyed a rapid growth, and the doc
tor states that before snow flies again
next winter he expects to have 100 fam
lilies settled there, at least, as it is his
intention to employ men with families
to a large extent
The machinery for the new 20-stamp
mill, which is being furnished by the
Colorado Iron Works company, has not
been shipped as yet, although the en-
CINE and boiler for the sawmill are on
the ground, but it is expected that the
reduction works will soon be sent along,
and after its arrival it will not take
long TO put it in place in readiness for
a long and successful run.
a few days ago DR.. Nelson's son, B.
c. Nelson, arrived from Boston, and
in company with Bert Kimball and Sur
veyor Charlie Brooks of this city, i'm
left for Eagle Valley, where
the townsite of Nelson City is to be
plated at once, besides which the nu-
claims embraced in the doctors
holdings will be surveyed.

NEWSPAPER EXCURSION.
1t VIII Be Here On Monday Next
All DaY.

One of the most unique enterprises
ever planned and carried out by daily
newspaper is the Minneapolis Journals
special excursion through Old Mexico
and California, mentioned in The Her
aid some weeks ago, which not only
affords the luxury of making the en-
tire journey from Minneapolis, Mimi,
through the great southwest, Mexico,
California, Colorado and back to Min
neapolis. a grand trip of 1876 miles, in
its own special Wagner vestibuled
train, but also at a rate less than half
of what it would cost the traveller to
make it alone. The Journal planned
this excursion purely as a stroke of
enterprise. and is more than satisfied
with the favor with which it has been
received.
The Journals special train of six
cars. consisting of one baggage car,
commissary car, dining car and three
palace sleepers, San Diego San
Marco" and ''Togus," manned by no
less than Is porters, walters, cooks,
etc, leaves Minneapolis Saturday even
ing. Jan. 30, over the Northwestern
line to Council Bluffs. where the Bur-
nngton route will take the train to
Kansas City, the first city to be visited.
After Kansas City the train will go
to Dallas, Tex, where 1t will stop for
a time, thence to San Antonio, the his
torical city. From there the train goes
into Mexico and visits the points of in
terest. Then back to California and
through Los Angeles, into Santa Mon
lea, San Francisco and Oakland.
Monday, Feb. q, at p. m, the jour
ney will be resumed to Ogden and Salt
Lake City. Sacramento. California's
capital. Will be passed about 9 p. m,
and Ogden reached Wednesday, Feb.
%. at a. m. A trip will be made to
Salt Lake City, and the entire day until
s p. m. spent there.
All told the Journals party includes
about 20 ladies and gentlemen, and
these come from all over the northwest,
from Minneapolis. st. Paul. all parts of
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin. North and
South Dakota and even from as far
east as Indianapolis. They include
bankers, merchants. capitalists, physi-
clans and other professional people.
The train is in personal charge Of
A. W. Warnock, the Journals excur-
sion manager.
Altogether it is the most novel and
pleasant enterprise ever undertaken by
a newspaper.
