W ork Up to Date.

"tFtN ID TO Date.
Mr.. Trimble states that the current work
OF MS once has been kept up to date with
the exception of the arrears of taxes. which
mas been delayed. he explains. on account
of the pressure on the employees in borh
extra and regular duties in compiling the
trtennial assessment. and which has taxed
10 me utmost capacity every one connected
with the office. The work increases every
year by reason Of the large number Of
Sions, tax certificates, licenses. correspond-
tnce, communications for reports etc Dur
ing the past year transfers Of real estate
increased about 20 per cent over the pre-
Nl"uS year, involving an increased amount
OF labor ana requiring expert knowledge to
AVOID confusion on the records Mcr- ac-
cufacy IN this matter is obtained, Mr. Trim
bic claims, by the present method Of tran
scrlbing deeds by detail OF a clerk from this
office. and a carefully prepared index of the
transfers affords increased facilities for
ascertatning the ownership up u date
Numbers Badly Mixed
Referring to the REMEMBERING Of houses
Mr. Trimble states that the craftsman OF
the office has prepared a very elaborate
map Of the city, which shows all OF the
squares and lots, and the subdivisions i'm
mediately bordering on the CITY. and ia
this is to be added the numbers of the
houses. The present numbers are 50 badly
mixed, says the assessor that it is i'm
possible 10 locate many of the houses on
any of the existing maps. If the houses
We're numbered to correspond with the lois
or property lines, as laid down on the man
lately prepared by the craftsman for that
special purpose. each owners property
could, he thinks, then be easily located
from the number Of his house, or the house
number located from the knowledge of the
square and lot.
This plan would necessarily require"
states Mr.. Trimble, some changes in cx-
listing numbers. For instance, it is pro
posed TO begin with the even hundred al
the southeast corners OF squares and nro-
coed in regular sequence westward in the
northwest and southwest sections of the
city, and begin at the southwest corner of
squares in the northeast and southeast
sections and proceed in regular sequence
eastward, only those squares that are per-
manently built up to be permanently num-
bered. When house receives a number
in square sparsely built up the owner
should be informed that this number is
tentative and is liable to change until the
entire front of the square is built up A
similar plan could be adopted in the county
where much confusion now exists in his
respect. The craftsman in this office has
made special study Of this subject and

To the Encampent Gold

There is but one way of reach
ing the Famous Battle Lake Cop

ment Gold Fields, and that is via
Fort Steele and Saratoga.

campment at 4:3O p. m.
The distance from Fort Steele
to Saratoga is but Twenty-eight
miles which is covered in the
short period of four hours, by the
best and most comfortable of
stages, and over one of the finest
reads in the state.
Every possible care and means
taken to insure the comfort and
convenience of the travelling

This is the only passenger route,

Z. Weyle, the San Francisco
artist. has some very fine winter
scenes taken in the Battle Lake
country. Mr.. Weyle has Il very
costly lens with which he takes
outdoor views and he has been
very successful in his work at
Battle and among the mines.
These pictures are large SxlO
views and represent scenes at Bat
tie. on the Divide, the Rudefeha,
Hercules, Portland and other
mines. These are all works of art
and if you want some of them
as you surely will if you see
them-you will have to get them
at once, as Mr.. Weyle leaves for

Few even among u own peo-
pie realize the Importance of this
company when reckoned as a fac
tor in the business of this COM
munity. Its monthly payroll
foots up the sum Of $4,000 and
its business is continually on the
Increase 1t is the in~tentention
OF the company to keep things
moving at their present rate on
through the winter. A great deal
of the past summer was spent in
making preparations for the win
ter's work, and SO effectual have
the arrangements been that no
matter what the weather may
be, the continual procession of ore
from the mine to the smelter will
be kept up. There will be no
roads to break open in the dead of
winter, as was done last winter.
There will be no portion of the
twelve miles of the snow road that
will not be traversed by from six
to eight four horse sled teams,
daily, loaded with from 5000 to s.
600 of ore or supplies for the mine
The Rudefeha mine, in its pres
ent workings and Importance, rep
resents what may be expected of
at least a half dozen mines in that
country during the next year.
Men who are posted on the out
look in the Battle Lake region
predict that 1t will have many
such mines as the Rudefeha, time
alone being required to develop
them.

THE DEWEY.
Gives Promise of Becoming a very i'm
portant Mine Has a large,
Well Developed
Vein.

From a reliable source we learn
that the present outlook in the
development of the Dewey mine
is very encouraging. The vein is
said to be one of the largest in the
Upper Platte Mining district and
can be traced for over two miles
along the surface of the ground.
In some places it is twenty feet
in width but the average is about
twelve feet and it can safely be
called a true fissure vein. The
main shaft is down about $50 feet
on an incline, following the vein,
and about 100 feet in depth from
the surface. In sinking the shaft
they ran onto large deposits of
copper bearing rock, but none that
would pay to save. At the 100
foot level they drifted for and
found a three foot vein of ore and
they have no doubt but that they
will find a large body of high grade
copper ore in going the next 80
or 100 feet.
Alarger pump is now a necessity
before going further. The other
machinery is sufficient to enable
them to sink 300 feet. They are
working two shifts at present and
as soon as arrangements can be
made another shift will be put on,
making nine men besides the eng
%ineers. At present the vein is
about eight feet between walls
and the vein matter is heavily
mineralized.

KURTz-CHATTERToN NINE.
Reported Sold to a New York Syndicate
for the Sum of $50, 900 in Cash.

A report is in circulation here
to the effect that the Kurtz- Chat
terton copper mine, situated in
the Grand Encampment district
has been sold to a New York syn
dictate of monied men, for the
cash sum of $4,000. 1t is also al
legged that the parties who
have invested in this mine
are possessed of a large amount of
funds with which to put in a big
plant and development works and
work the mine to its fullest capac-
ity,
The Kurtz-C batterton mine has
a big body, or rather a num-
Der of leads, of low grade ore,
which, while it will not pay to
transport to the railroad, would
bring big returns worked on the
grounds. The intention of the
company is, no doubt, to erect re-
duction works at the mine.
One thing that gives very strong
color to this report is the fact that
o. w. Huxley and George R.
Adams, two mining experts from
Chicago, passed through here last
week Oh their way to make an ex-
animation of the property. 1t
was doubtless on their recon-
mendation that the mine was pur-
chased.

CARBON CO., CITIZENS OBJECT.
To the Purchase of Timber Land for
Tie Cutting Purposes eller
Again Before the Pub

Mr.. j. G. Teller, the Union Pa
cifc and Oregon Short Line tie
cutter, is again before the public,
owing to the tie cutting business
in the forests along Brush creek
in southern Carbon county.
Somewhat of a sensation was
sprung today when five men,
Messrs. L.. V. Bruce. Andrew
Anderson, Harold Michel, James
Isaackson and James Buchanan,
all residents of southern Carbon
county, appeared at the United
States land office to make final
payment on five tracts of timber
land filed on by them and situated
along BrusL. creek. They were
prevented from doing so by large
numbers of protests filed by
prominent citizens of Saratoga
valley, which allege that the per-
sons named are not purchasing
the timber land for their own ben
eft. but for the use of j. G. Teller.
The case is now being heard by
the officials of the local land office
and will probably consume all of
tomorrow.
Mr.. Teller is here from Denver
with IA number of witnesses and is
in attendance upon the hearing,
A reports come from the noun
tains that Mr.. Teller has already
cut ties on the lands in question.
