GROWING RICHER.
The Rudefeha is Improving with every
foot of Development Approach
ing the old body of ore directly
Under the old shaft.

Hon. George Ferris, who went
up to the mines Tuesday, said, in
relation to the development work
now being done ON the Rudefeha:
I'VE are now drifting on the vein
toward the old shaft, and eighty
feet more will bring us directly
under the workings where we ex-
tracted SO much rich ore last fall
and winter. The ore is increasing
in richness with every foot we
go, and there is a very large body
of ore III sight at the present time
that would run from ten to fifteen
per cent. copper. We are coming
into the very rich ore now, and
have no doubt but what, when we
get under the old works, that we
will strike the same rich body of
ore we had when we left the old
shaft. Things are moving in good
shape at the mine and we are, on
soon will be in fine shape for the
winters work.
THE work on the road is nearly
completed. There are some places
in il that we will have to corduroy
but, as the timber for that purpose
is right at hand, that work will
not take long. We are now get
ting in our winters horse feed and
supplies as fast as we can, though
we intend to keep the road open
and in constant use this winter
When we once get started to haul
ing ore we intend to keep the ore
teams moving right along, winter
and summer"

Some Mckinley Prosperity.

During the month of August.
1899, 800 nor cars of coal we're
shipped from Rock Springs than
during the month of August the
year previous, and the increase in
shipments this month over the
outputo of the corresponding month
in 1898 will be over 1000 cars.
If this is not sufficient proof that
times are steadily improving in
Rock Springs. then nothing can
make the disbelievcr believe in
the increasing commerce under
our Republican administration.

Traffic on the Union Pacific has
been unprecedentedly heavy the
past sumner, and the men have
been worked to the verge of human
endurance and all have made good
wages. Every engine and every
car, of every description, is now in
use and the entire capacity of the
road is strained to the utmost to do
the business c%rowding upon it. As
a result of this immense traffic the
trains have been late nearly every
day. When an engine, built to haul
nine and ten passenger cars, is made
to haul fourteen and fifteen over
crowded coaches every day, it is not
to be wondered that trains are late.
Some means had to be devised to
meet this congested condition of
affairs, 81 the company has decided
to add two more passenger trains
to it's schedule, each way. These
trains are to 20 into service on the
18th inst, and the time between
Chicago and San Francisco short
ened up ten hours, the principal
part of which will be taken out of
the time now being made on the
Southern Pacific, which has been
a slow coach for many years. Such
"A state of affairs speaks vol
umes for the condition of general
business and shows that the entire
country is more prosperous than it
has been for nearly a decade.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
William Duval. a former resident of
st. Mary's, Kan, accidentally killed
by a falling tree, at Volker's saw
mill or Encampment River.

MI VI IifIdmpAhSbN ANiNSi
Capt. j. B. Jennings and G. A.
Finley arrived here yesterday
morning with the body of William
duval, he had been accidentally
killed, by II falling tree, twenty
four hours before, at Volker's saw
mill, which is situated about nine
miles above the town of Encamp-
ment, on the Encampment river.
The facts, as gathered from Mr..
Finley, who was the dead mans
brother-in-law, are as follows: Mr..
Duval and another man by the
name of Frank Ketch, who were
employed at the saw mill of Ben.
Volker, went out to fell timber for
the mill. A tree on which they
were at work, lodged on another
tree in its descent to the ground.
Mr.. Ketch told Duval to go out to
one side where he would be out of
harms way, which he did, while
Mr.. Ketch continued to work at
the tree to get it to the ground. In
falling the tree struck a dead stub
of a tree, knocking it against Du-
val, striking him directly on the
top of the head, crushing the skull.
Mr.. Ketch ran to the cabin, which
was a short distance away, and re-
turned with a cup of water. Ben.
Volker, who was at the cabin, re-
turned with him. The injured
man only breathed two or three
times after they reached him, and
expired without Il word. The ac-
cident happened at y o'clock Tues
day morning.
Capt. Jennings and Mr.. G. A.
Finley, (who is the president and
manager of the Grand Encamp-
ment district, came to Saratoga
yesterday morning with the body,
which they were taking to Raw
Inns to embalm and ship to the
dead mans family, at St. Mary's.
Kansas, where the deceased has a
wife and nine children living. Du-
val was an old soldier and aged
about % years. Ho had some min
ing claims in the Encampment
district, on which he had come out
to do the assessment work. He
was done with his work and had
intended to return home the first
of this week, but Mr.. Volker had
induced him to remain a few days
longer and help him with cutting
logs for his mill. Duval had set
the 10th inst. as the time he would
start for his home in Kansas.

A Presbyterian Parsonage.

The Sun is pleased to state that
their is a movement on foot to at
once erect a substantial parsonage
for the Presbyterian church at
this place. Liberal donations to.
ward the structure have already
been made and the parties having
the matter in charge have received
so much encouragement that the
lumber for the buildinL has been
ordered from. Mowry Bros. x Co.
and that for the finishing from
Morrison Merrill Il Co., at Chey-
enne. The probabilities are that
the building will be completed
and occupied by Rev. Robinson
before the c)ld weather sets in. We
hope every one in the community
will feel called upon to give some
thing toward the erection of this
much needed building and aid the
cause of hat popular church. The
building will be built ON the lot
adjoining the church.

FOREST RESERVES MINING.
ment for the Telling and Removal
of Timber for Use in Mining.

of Timber for Use in Mining.
The question: -"What effect
does the creation of a forest reserve
have on the mining industry with
in its limits?" has often been asked
by our citizens and remained un-
answered for want of accurate in
formation. The Sun has at last
obtained reliable legal advice on
the matter from Hon f. A. Will
liams, late City Attorney for the
city of Denver, who says, in part:
Notwithstanding the forest reser-
walton the lands included therein
are open to mineral entry. This is
clearly a fact under the regula-
tions, and in conversation with one
of the government timber agents
at the Federal building | learned
that it is also the practice of the
Department"
Turning to the rules of the Sec
rotary of the interior we find the
following, to which Mr.. Williams
calls special attention:
Rule 10. The law provides that
''any mineral lands in any forest
reservation which have been or
which may be shown to be such,
and subject to entry under the ex-
listing mining laws of the United
States and the rules and regula-
tions applying thereto, shall con-
tinue to be subject to such location
and entry" Notwithstanding the
reservation. This makes mineral
lands in the forest reserves subject
to location and entry under the
general mining laws in the usual
manner.
Rule 20. Owners of valid min
ing locations made and held in
good faith under the mining laws
of the United States aud the regu-
lations hereunder, are authorized
and permitted to fell and remove
from such mining claims any tim
Der growing thereon, for actual
mining purposes in connection with
the particular claim from which
the timber is felled or removed"
Wien these forest reserves were
first created none, except settlers
within their boundaries, were al
lowed to remove timber for fenc-
ing, houses, etc. A later ruling,
however, permits all settlers within
a reasonable distance of such reser-
walton, to remove timber for houses,
fences aud all domestic use. This
information removes I'll doubts of
the settlers right to use timber in
forest reservations, and will settle a
question which has been puzzling
our people for some time,

All caused by famine in India.

Even now one rum across a be-
nighted individual who argues in
the most vague and disinteresting
way hat the high price of wool
and mutton is because of the great
famine in India; that beef has
risen in sympathy with the fam
in India; hat there is a dearth of
laborlng men in some remote parts
of the earth, causing the labor
market of America to be intensely
active; that the same thing would
have occurred had Grover Cleve-
land been in the white house.
1t is passing strange that the fam
inc i'll India and the hard times
i'll Astralia and other foreign lands
always come along to help out a
Republican administration, and
rs soon as the democrats get into
power the hard times are immed-
lately transferred TO this country.

Gratis are pretty good people to

think 1t will require long time to re-
store peace and quiet In these Islands.
May is our hottest month and the sun
with the moist climate and dull leaden
skies seems uncomfortable and sickening
to our unacclimated troops. The wet
season has about commenced with US,
1t is a little early, though the same ell
matte conditions do not exist in any
two islands. We have lost a great
many men around Manila, and our sit
uation there remains about the same.
On this island the insurgents are
strongly fortified at Santa Barbara,
about seven miles from here. I don't
think they will leave their entrench-
ments to attack us, nor have we the
force to attack them, nor can any
force be spared from Manila at the
present time. know so little Of public
AFFAIRS in the United States, and am so
little informed as to the ultimate In
tentlon Of our government in regard TO
these islands that can not well dis
cuss the subject here. My views have
undergone no change since / first wrote
you last year. though as soldier am
here to do my duty and defend the flag
that is dearer than life to me, though
wish the question could have been set
tied without so much bloodshed. do
not worry, however. as have conf
dence In the American people, and be-
lieve all will come out as It should. 1
hope that all Americans will treat the
whole question OF expansion in calm
and deliberate manner, and that wis
dom may be given our statesmen to
handle this important question without
prejudice and without pnrtiznn conten-
tIon. We want men OF Intelligence,
wisdom and moderation In the councils
OF the nation: In fact we need such men
now more thnn ever before In the his
tory OF our country. or perhaps may
ever need them In our future history.
The stupendous Importance OF the is
sues involved affecting as they will
both our domestic and foreign relations,
requires the honest, unselhsh and pa
trlotic efforts OF our public men who
will meet these questions with the
courage OF their convictions. and pre-
