GOLD HILL.
Work on the New Mill and Other Build
ings Progressing Steadily-As-
sessment Work for 1899
Done on all the
Claims.

From Mr.. Fred Miller, resident
manager of the Wyoming Devel-
opment and Transportation Co,
who came down from Gold Hill
recently, we learn of the progress
of that company's work in that
camp. Mr.. Miller said:
"We have not been doing any
thing on the mill property of late.
We have had all our force out do
ing assessment work for 1899. But
we have that work all cleaned up
and have now turned our attention
to the work of erecting the mill
building and getting the saw mill
in running shape.
"We spent a very pleasant
Christmas up there on the top of
the mountain. We had a Christ
mas tree and an entertainment,
the latter being furnished by Mr..
GIeene's children.
''The snow has not gotten so
very deep and the road between
here and the camp is excellent.
We came down from the camp to
Headquarters in an hour and
three-quarters, We stopped there
and had dinner and fed our horses,
consuming an hour and a half.
From there on to town we were
only two hours on the road, max
ing the trip from Gold Hill to
| Saratoga in less than four hours.
THE men in the camp, of whom
there are sixteen, are all in good
health and the work is progressing
very well indeed. We have been
delayed with our saw mill, waiting
for hose from Denver. But that has
arrived and we are now in shape
to move right along"

A Lumber Yard Needed.

This town is very much in need
of a lumber yard. At this time
not a foot of lumber of any kind
is kept on hands by any one, for
sale, Parties desiring to build
have to make contracts direct
with the mill men in the
mountains for their lumber and
for all hard and finishing lumber
orders have to be sent to Chey-
enne and other points.
There is IL, better opening for
any business man in this town
than that of a first class lumber
yard, and the man, or men, who
first take this business up will
reapa golden harvest.

The Gels Hall.

l.. Gels, who has fixed up a
commodious hall on the east side
of the river and arranged it for
dancing purposes, has. filed a
'long felt want" Mr. Gels has
shown a commendable enterprise
in this work. He has finished up
the interior in a very inviting and
becoming manner, PIT in an excel
lent floor and lighted and heated
the hall perfectly. His latest i'm
provement is to cut out a portion
of one side of the building, in the
centre, and build a room for the
orchestra. This places the music
in the central portion of the build
ing, out of the way of the dancers
and adds to the appearance of the
hall, as well as the pleasure and
comfort of the dancers. Mr.. Gels
has also arranged to serve refresh
ments at midnight to those desir-
ing the same. He has also a check
room in connection with the hall,
where wraps are checked at small
expense.
Mr.. Gels deserves a great deal
of credit for his enterprise in this
matter. Heretofore the accommo-
dations in that line have been very
meagre and unsatisfactory and it
is a pleasure to all the devotees of
T~erpischore to go to a well lighted
and comfortably heated hall,
where their comfort aud pleasure
is 81 well provided for as at the
Gels hall.

Denver Gun Club Want to Monopolize
The Fishing Streams Of Car bon
County-The Law to be
Rigidly Enforced.


1t is reported from the capital
of the state that a gun club COM
posed of Denver men, wrote to
Hon. f. Chatterton, Secretary of
State, to obtain the exclusive
privilege of fishing in the waters
of southern Carbon county. Mr..
Chatterton replied that, while
there were probably a good many
suckers in the streams of this
county, there were none among
the people.
This brings to mind the fact
that a large number of Denver's
wealthy men have for the past two
years, been frequenting this coun.
try for the purpose of fishing, and
have succeeded in catching large
numbers of trout which they were
unable to save. In this wanton
destruction of our fish we regret
to say that they have been aided
and abetted by u people who,
instead of repecting the laws of
the state, have helped to break
them. In spite of the watchful
eye of the citizens here fish have
been shipped out of the state sew
eral times.
The violation of the law was,
the past season, so open and fla
grant, that it has served to arouse
tine residents of this country to
the fact that if something is not
done, and done quickly, the
streams now so full of trout would
be comparatively dopopulated.
Steps r being taken looking to
a rigid enforcement of the law this
coming season A deputy game
warden will be appointed, and
under him will be numerous other
men authorized to apprehend any
one found violating the game
laws. Especial attention will
paid to gentlemen on the outside
as well as to those parties who
have aided AMI abetted them in
infringing our laws.

The Line to Reach Saratoga in Febru.

Encampment and Pink.
hampton this
Summer.

The Rocky Mountain Bell Tele-
phone line which is being con-
structed from Fort Steele to this
place is well under way. A. w.
Scott, the man in charge of the
branch to this place, has a force of
men at work and the line is out
four or five miles from Steele at
this time. Parties who are con.
versant with the matter say that
the company is constructing a fine
line of first class materials. 1t is
expected that the line will be
completed to this point some
time in the coming month. The
work of constructing the line from
here on to Encampment and from
there on TO Pinkhampton, in the
North Park, will be pushed as
rapidly as the weather will per-
NIT. and will be completed early
during the coming spring.
The completion of this line
through to Laramie will give
Saratoga telephone communica-
ton direct with Salt Lake City,
Rawlins, Fort Steele, Laramie,
Cheyenne and Denver, which will
he a matter of great convenience
to our bushes men.

TOO MUCH LAWLESSNESS
Intoxicated Men Make Bridge Street
impossible for Women and Child
rem at Times-Enforce the Law

There is entirely too much
drunkenness in this town for the
comfort of peaceable and law abid-
ing people. Quite frequently of
late the peace of this community
has been disturbed by drunk men
raving up and down on Bridge
street, and it is hardly possible
for a lady to pass along that
street without hearing drunken
and profane language issuing
from the saloons there, if she is
not insulted by their presence
and profanity on the sidewalk.
Drunk men and lewd women
should be made to keep their
places, and we pay taxes and
maintain a county government
and have peace officers for the
purpose of holding such things
in check.
but it is not alone the duty OF
our officers to see that our laws
are enforced. 1t is also the duty
of every law abiding citizen tc
report or make complaint of every
infraction of the laws, and to also
give such officers their moral sup.
port and influence, otherwise they
are quite powerless.
We regret very much to have tC
mention this matter, and have re.
Trained heretofore from doing Sc
only because we disliked to LEI
the outside world know the exac'
state of affairs here, and thus tar
nlsh the fair name this town ha'
always borne. But forbearanc,
ceases to be a virtue sometimes
and this seems one of the times
when it is our duty to speak yer,
plainly and to the point. If on.
local officers are unable to main
tain peace and order then we will
have to incorporate and put men il
power who will keep the lawles
element in check.
