WILL HAVE A BRICK YARD.
Two Saratoga Boys Form a Company
and will Start the Manufacture
of Brick at Once,

oI DTlCk at OnCe.
Fred Wolf Jr. and Elmer An
drews have formed a company to
be known as the Saratoga Brick
Co, and are clearing and leveling
off the grounds south of town
which were formerly used as a
brick yard. AS soon as this work
is completed and a fence built
around the yard the work of max
ing the brick will be commenced
and pushed as rapidly as possible.
There are to be a number of new
houses built this fall and the boys
are assured of the sale of 100000
brick this year, and the probabili-
ties I that the number will far
exceed that.
Mr.. Wolf and Nh. Andrews are
both well known Saratoga boys
and have the respect and esteem
of all our best citizens. and as
they both have excellent backing
there is no doubt but that their
venture will be a

John Coleman, the man who
fell from a wagon between here
and Fort Steele, on Monday, the
23rd day of April, and who has
been lying at the Saratoga hotel, a
county charge ever since, died at
that place Sunday evening about
8 o'clock, He was buried here
Monday.
Deceased was intoxicated at the
time of his fall from the wagon
and it was not thought that he
was seriously hurt. Time proved
that he had received an injury
which resulted in PARALYSIS from
the shoulders down.
When it was certain that death
would ensue Father Ternes, OF
Rawlins, was sent for, arriving
here Sunday evening but not in
time to administer the last sad
rites of the church to him before
his death.
Deceased has a brother in Kan .
sas City, Mo, who was notified OF
his death, The county will bean
the expenses OF his sickness and
burial.

ment Districts to be Represent
cdr. Burger Selected as
Delegate.

Delegate.
Very encouraging reports have
been received from the committees
appointed to solicit funds to de-
fray the expenses of a delegate
from this country to the lnterna.
tionol Mining Congress to be held
at Milwaukee, Wis, on the 18th
to 9th of June next. About 800
was raised at Encampment and
$40 at this place. Nothing had
been done at Battle Lake at last
accounts, but a meeting was called
to meet at hat place last Saturday
night to discuss ways and mean
and to raise that towns share of
the necessary funds,
1t is pretty generally conceded
that DR.. Berger, who was appoint
ed as n of the commissioners of
the exposition by the executive
board, will be chosen to represent
the interests of the mining camps
of this country. No better selec-
ton could have been made, for the
doctor is not only we'll acquainted
with the resources and POSSIBLE
ties of the different camps; but is
well known in mining circles in
the vicinity of the city of Milwau-
kee and will make a representive
that will do credit to the entire
country.
All parties owning mines or
prospects are requested to furnish
from % to so pounds of the best
Of their ores for exhibition at the
congress, together with a short
synopsis of the mine or claim,
containing depth of shaft, width of
vein, character Of wall rock and
such other information as will
fully represent the mine. These
samples of ore should be brought
to Saratoga at a date not later
than the 10Th inst, in order that
time may be had to properly pack
them for shipment.
There should be a sample of ore
furnished by every person owning
a claim in either range. Do not
delay about this matter but attend
to it at once. Samples may be
left with j. b Hassett. Jewelel
Scott, at The Sun office or the re
sidence of DIR. Burger at this plac,
and they will receive prompt at
tentiou.

NEW GOLD STRIKE.
Made on Douglas Creek about Thirty
Miles above Town-Specimens
Studded with Gold.

w. S. Adams, who has been
working a very fine copper propo-
|sition on a small creek tributary
TO Douglas creek, came in from
there Tuesday and reports that
three partners, james Farrill, Fred
Richter and a Mr.. Bush, have
made a very rich gold strike in a
claim called "The Elk" on Doug
las creek about 30 miles above
town on the east side of the river.
The partners have been working
at the proposition off and on the
past two years, and this spring
Mr.. Farrill has been working it
alone.
The shaft is down 40 feet and
the vein is ten inches wide at this
point, and every inch of it shows
gold. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire vein would run over $3.50 per
ton and some parts would run
over $500. We were shown n
number of specimens which were
picked up off of the dump by Mr..
Adams, which show free gold and
are certainly very rich. The
quartz is red iron and pieces of ore
which look to be perfectly barren,
will pan gold. When they COM
menced work there were two small
leads about three feet apart which
a together after several feet.
The vein has been looking better
right along and now the whole
VEN is very rich.
The men have a cabin and tools
and intend to sink the shaft to 100
feet this summer, which depth
should be sufficient to tell whether
the claim Is worth devlopingo or not.
1t stands a most excellent show of
turning out well as it is a good
strong vein and the walls are well
defined. They also have another
gold prospect near the Elk, which
is on another lead and makes a
good showing.

A PEACEFUL COMMUNITY.
Brush Creek one of the most Peaceful
and Law Abiding Communities
in the Country.

in the Country.
Last Monday the people of
Brush creek gathered at the school
house to elect a member of the
school board and fix up the school
house and grounds for the sum
mer term of school. Nearly all
the residents of the creek were
there. They brought baskets and
had a picnic dinner.
The school house was thorough
ly cleaned, the yard grubbed free
of sage brush and a fence started.
AS they did not complete the fence,
a number of the people returned
and finished it Saturday.
For neighborly acts and harmon
ious gatherings Brush creek is
ahead of every creek in the coun-
try. 1t has a Ladies Society,
which meets once a month at the
home of one of its members and
has a supper. Each family brings
something good to eat and a
charge of 10 cents a plate is made.
By this means the ladies have
raised quite a little money at diff
ferent times and helped their
church along. These GATHERINGS
are attended with the utmost har-
mony and are always something
pleasant to remember.
They have a nice large school
building which is TO be fitted up
with new desks and blackboards,
now az Fort Steele ready for trans
portation to the creek. They are
TO be commended for their enter
prise.

Spring creek the past summer.
Dancing was kept up all night
and a delicious supper was served
the guests at midnight. A num-
Der of the guests continued the
party on into the next day and
went fishing. Miss Breese left on
Mondays stage for her home i'll
Laramie, and was accompanied
with the good wishes of a number

when st. Peter met me at the gate
instead of showing me the way tc
the golden streets. as | expected
he took me ont into a large field
and in the middle of the fielc
there was "A ladder reaching away
up in the sky and out of sight
Then st. Peter told me tina
heaven was at the top, and that il
order to get there | must take the
big piece of chalk he gave me anc
slowly clilnb the ladder, writing
on each rung some sin | had com
mitted."
Papa: (laying down his news

reach heaven, my SOM"
Willie: No, papa, for just as
was trying to think of somethin!
to write on the second rung,
look up into the sky and l say
you coming down"

Purchased Hereford Bulls.

B.. G. Fay, who went to Rawlins
to receive a consignment of three
Hereford bulls, returned yester-
day. The bulls were purchased in
Denver last week by X. S. Van
Tassel of Cheyenne for Mr.. Fay,
from G. A. Stannard, of Sunny
Slope Farm, Emporia, Kas., and
Scott d Marsh, of Bolton, Mo.
The bulls are yearlings and are as
fine a specimen of stock as can
be seen anywhere. The standard
of the stock bred by these two
companies is too well known tc
need any enlarging upon.

Saratoga will soon have two tel
ephone lines connecting her with
the outside world. The Bell Tel

equipped a very substantial line
through here and it is the pride
and admiration of the entire
valley.
Gus. Jenesen & Bro, who have
owned and operated a local tele-
phoue line from this place to Fort
Steele for the past two years, in
tend to change the railroad ter
minus of their line from Fort
Steele to Walcott. 1t is also their
intention to thoroughly repair
their line, putting In new poles
wherever needed and equipping
the entire line with No. II galvan-
lied wire throughout its entire
length.
They use the STANDARD make OF
telephones which are operated at
very little expense So far as
the instruments themselves are
concerned. After the line is re-
built there is no doubt but what
it will be a very efficient adjunct
to the business of the town.
