VIII Spear OF Big Horn, was in town
Monday and informed us that the fence
inclosing the Weltner Bros pasture
on Cat creek, had been cut between
each post for a distance of five miles.
The tracks in the snow indicate that
three men had done the work. The
pasture il several miles square and Mr..
Spear had leased 1t for the winter and
was to keep the fence in good repair,
but he thinks it a too costly proposition
to continue. He will have to keep men
to ride the pasture to keep the stock
from straying and also to look out for
future cutters.-Sheridan Post
The success now attending copper
mining and copper prospecting in the
Sierra Madre range must be an incen-
tive to owners of the excellent copper
prospects on Lake and Cedar creeks
in the Medicine Bow range. Many Of
these claims have had a mucn better
surface showing than the now famous
shippers of the WESTERN range. No
systematic development has e been
made on copper showings in the Lake
creek district. The coming summer
with, without question:. bring into the
district a class OF p~rospectors that know
q good thing when they see it. The
Lake creek country will move TO tho
'front.' ere many months elapse-SaGa-
toga Lyre.
The Bridger and Slavery countries
have no rival in the range as mineral
bearing sections. The showing, even
now IN gold, silver and copper is pine
nomemal. There is a great future In
store for the Bridger district. and that
future il not many away. Colo
RADIO enterprise may break state lines
in a few months and reach for Wyo-
mdnx's ores over either or both the
D. & R. G. or B. and M. railways. The
letter would probably belt the mines
along the eastern slope Of the range
from Independence Ito Bridger Pass,
and the former bake in and draw from
the Hahn's Peak, Columbia, Whiskey
Park, Battle Creek and Sandstone
oountrtes.-Saraboga Tyre.
