The ever jovial H. j. Gump of San
Francisco is in town selling pickles and
vinegar by the barrel. and incidentally is
having whirl of metropolitan life at the
Kenyon He is possessed of what is
know as the gift Of gab.'' and has
fund of picked stories that he tells to
prospective customers. "Once upon
time ! took run down to Los Angeles
and stopped off at Mojave for bite to
eat. l was sauntering up and down the
station after eating a stack of buck
wheats.. and was approached by a mendI--
cant minus one leg and on crutcheS. 1
haven't tasted food for two days; will
you please give me two bits to get a cup
OF coffee and u sandwich? said the beg
gar. l had been worked by that hard
luck yarn too many times to swallow it,
and so showed no disposition to worry
him with financial problems. and instead
or handing over the two bits l asked MIN
to tell me how he happened to lose hig.
He gazed scornfully at me for minute
or two and as he turPned to hobble away
he retorted, 1 wore it off walking around
trying to git money out of close-fisted
curmudgeons like YOU 7"
A. ]. Sheridan of Rock Springs. Wyo..
arrived in town Saturday afternoon and
put up at the Kenyon. Speaking of the
| business conditions prevailing at Rock
Springs, Mr.. Sheridan said: The gold
| fields in South Pass are Low being looked
over by parties from Chicago and the
east and considerable development in
| that branch of mining IS looked for this
fall. The livestock industry has gone
ahead with big strides in the past year,
and there are now 100000 sheep in Sweet
water county The grown sheep rae sell
ing in large numbers at 50 per head; and
| lambs alto S2.25 to $3.50. We shipped
900, coo pounds of wool to the eastern mar
kets' the past spring and summer at an
average price of IA cents per pound. We
have little trouble feeding our fiocks in
the winter season because the SHOWS are
| very light. Rock Springs is famed for
! its bituminouS coal mines and the out
put for 1899 will be far in excess of that
| of previous years. The mines cannot
be worked to their full capacity on ac-
count of the scarcity of coal miners.
Five hundred miners could get work in
| the Rock Springs mines tomorrow. but
| for some unaccountable reason we can
not find men willing to earn the good
wages paid. don't know what. we will
do when the winter season sets in If the
| spring We supply nearly all the battle
ships with bituminouS coal, and vast
quantities are shipped to Omaha and Chi
| cago. In the busiest season we handle
as many as 10000 tons of coal daily
