RETURNS TO PATAGONIA.

Rare Fossils.

tinue his search for rare fossils and ex-
plore the interior of the country. He
expects to be absent three years. Two
years ago he entered the country, but
ill-health forced his return to Prince
ton this fall. A months rest was ali he
would take.
Prof. Hatcher's trips are made with
only two Indians as guides. Every trip
up the country means voluntary exile
from the world for'six months. He lives
and works with his old guides, never
seeing white man from the time he
leaves the coast until his return. He
was the first man to introduce an Amer
lean wagon into Patagonia, carrying
the parts south and building the wagon
himself. On his last trip he got to-
gether valuable collection of the
fauna and fora of the country, as well
as collection of fossils. He also dis
covered lake, which he named Prince
ton, after the university. ~.
The fossils of Patagonia resemble tho
specimens found in our western coun-
try. There are varieties of the old
three-toed horse and also remarkable
animal which was the ancestor of the
modern ant!eater.
In dry weather Prof. Hatcher will
work on the sea coast, where the re-
markable rise and fall of the tides un-
earth the bones IN the cliffs along the
shore.
Prof. Hatcher is graduate of Yale.
He had already won name for himself
as western scientific explorer before
he. opened up the new field in Pata.

That was the turning point IL
Babette's life; from then she began 10
change. The roses left her cheeks, and
all the brightness and sunshine de-
parted from her life, leaving her sad,
lonesome woman. Her friends noticed
the alteration and commented upon it.,
but to all remarks and inquiries she
maintained gentle reserve, never once
complaining or repining.
All attempts tc wean her. husband
from the lawless gang he called 'broth-
ers" proved futile. AS time went on he
became more and more involved. so
that retraction was impossible; but ne
still managed to retain his situation
at the factory, for which Babette as
sured herself she ought to be very
thankful-the want of a few francs was
never felt in her little home.
And so years passed on. Finding her
son had a great love for music, Babette
often took him to the grand cathedral
OF Notre Dame, where he would sit for
hours listening to the voices of the
singers and the deep tones of the
organ, quivering with excitement and
pleasure at it's thunderings and whis-
pers. Eabette's home was near the ca
thedral, and when Pau! grew bigger
his mother would often miss HIM.
But this caused her no anxiety or
alarm; she could always be sure Of
finding him in his favoritc spot, listen
ing to the solemn music.
The festival of the Annunciation was
destined to be a momentous day for
Babette. The service at Notre Dame
was to be unusually grand, and little
Paul was there in his accustomed place.
His mother was sitting alone in her
room when knock came at the door,
and without waiting for it to be an
swered, sharp-looking man accom-
panied by two gendarms entered, and
inquired: So

GRADING BEGUN.
The Wyoming Southern to be Built this
Fali--Hot Springs Hotel to be
Repaired and Opened to
the Public.

Hon. F. ~Chatterton, secretary of
state, who, in company with Col.
Frambach, president of the Wyo-
ming Southern, and Gen. Henry
II. Boyce, treasurer, went up the
river to look at the Big creek cop
per mines, returnsd this week and
to Cheyenne this morning. In
an interview, Mr.. Chatterton
said:
"Our party a composed of men
interested in the Wyoming Consol-
idated Copper Company, (as well
as the Wyoming Southern,) who
went up to inspect the Big creek
copper mines which we own.
Every one was much pleased with
the outlook. From there we went
to the kurtz.C hatterton property
in the Grand Encampment coun-
try and from there on to the Bat
tie Lake country. We visited all
of the properties there except the
Haskins mine, which we missed.
One seldom sees more activity
any where than is now to be found
in that region. Machinery is 60
ing in and buildings are going up
as rapidly as possible.

We now have % teams working on
the grade at Fort Steele and we
expect that within the next ten
days or two weeks to have just as
many more teams to work as we
can get hold of and push the grad
ing to Saratoga while the good
weather lasts.
1.-THE bridge work will be done
in cold weather. as it cannot well
be done at any other time of the
year.
"We also intend to open up the
Hot Springs hotel here at an early
date. One of the objects of my
visit was to g to the repairing of
the building. We have several
parties in view who have made
propositions to run the hotel and
bath house. New bath tubs will
be put in, all the buildings paint
ed and the very best service pos
sihle will be given the people who
%patronize the hot springs"

Postofhce at the Rudefeha.

The residents at the Rudefeha
mine and the country surrounding
it are asking for a postofice to be
established there. A petition is
now being circulated asking
for a mail service from this place.
The new office will be named Os-
ceola. There r said to be 125
men within a radius of a mile
and a half of the Rudefeha mine
and, as the road from here to that
place will be kept open all winter,
their mail service will be regular
and certain.

, 1899-09-28

The writer, in company with
Judge f. A. Williams, a promi-
nent attorney of Denver, spent a
couple of days the past week in
speeding the Battle Lake copper
mining country. We found the
new road from Saratoga to the
Rudefeha mine to be a first class
one in every respect. From Sar-
atoga to the edge of the timber it
is a gradual ascent and almost per-
fectly straight. From the edge of
the timber clear to the mine the
road is all the way through the
green pine timber and ascends
about two thousand feet in twelve
miles. 1t is twenty feet wide and
looks more like an venue than a
timber road. The trees have been
felled and piled out to one side and
the stumps blown out by giant
powder, after which the holes are
filled with dirt, making a road free
from distractions and over which
we drove at a trot in a covered
carriage. The scenery along the
route was grand and the Judge
got many fine bits of woodland
scenery with his kodak. Within
three miles of the top of the di-
vide we ran into Mowry Bros. &
Cos. sawmill. 1t has been in place
but a short time and had not yet
had time to erect any shelter over
itself. Two or three teams were
loaded with lumber for the Rude
feha mines, and two or three more
were waiting to take the lumber
fresh from the saw. 1t was a busy
scene of industry right in the
heart of the great forest, and
shows that the industry of man
keeps pace with the demands of
the times.
The scenery just before crossing
the divide vas very fine. The
road is all the way in the green
timber to avoid drifting SHOWS in
the winter, and it winds in and out
along the mountainside until it
comes near the top, when it slips
over a notch at the summit and
wanders gently down the 9TH
or side until it comes to the Rude
feha mine, which lies d mile and a
half from the top of the western
slope.
This road has employed a large
force of men for the past 90 days
in its construction. 1t is estimat-
ed to have cost $1,000 and to have
consumed 1000 pounds of dyna-
mite in removingthe stumps alone.
1t is a fine piece of work, and
worthy of all commendation on
the part of the n of the Ru-
defeha. Over it can be hauled a
full load of 10000 pounds to the
team, from the very summit to the
railroad at Walcott. The Rude
feha mine is situated on the steep
western mountain slope. When
we arrived there we were greeted
by a very busy scene. The new
three story shaft house-a very
substantial structure of framed
timbers and lumber-was not CON-
pleted. yet all of the machinery,
boilers, hosting engine and air
compressor, as well as all of the
parapharnalia needed in and
around the mine, We're in place,
and the work of hosting and de-
veloplng the mine was in full blast
while the carpenters finished their
work overhead. The place is a
perfect bee hive. Men were to be
seen everywhere, doing everything

AN INJUSTICE THREATENED.
Cherokee Children Have Right to
School Privileges.

Fifty Cherokee children are
anxiously asking the question,
"What has become of our public
SCHOOL," For nearly a quarter of
a century Vinits has had nation
al school and has never failed to
make the average attendance. The
patrons of the school have built a
house, and have from time to time
received books from the board of
education at Tahlequah. The law
limits the power of the board of
education "to remove or discon-
tinue any primary school which
does not maintain a daily average
of thirteen pupils during the win
ter term and fifteen during the
summer term" The Cherokee
citizens of Vinita have a right to
demand that their school be not
removed or discontinued" and
that their children be not ex-
cluded. If the Cherokee school
laws are TO be applied, then the
Cherokee board of education, the
Vinita city board OF school direc-
tors, nor Supervisor Coppock has
the authority TO suspend or remove
our school, or to exclude our chill
dren therefrom.
