NEW IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Bottiing the Water of the Medical Hot
Springs Of This Place for Table
Use-Equals The Famous
Manitou Table Water

Landlord E. w. Baker, mana
ger of the Hot Springs Hotel, has
fallen upon a new and important
enterprise-that of bottling the
hot water of the medical springs
and using it for table purposes.
The matter came about in this
way: Mr.. Baker sent for some
bottled water of the famous Mani
tou Springs for table use. While
using it the thought occurred to
him to try some of the water from
the springs here treated in the
same way. The result was that
the water Of our own springs prov
ed to be the equal if not the su-
perior of the Manitou water.
In consequence of this discov-
cry Mr.. Thissenius, the local bot
tier of soft drinks, has a contract
for preparing the hot springs wa
ter for use here as we'll as for
shipment abroad. The water is
first cooled, and then filtered care
fully, after which it is charged
with electric gas, bottled and is
then ready for use. Electric gas
is simply compressed air, purified
and forced into the water.
Mr.. Baker says he finds that his
customers really prefer the waters
of these springs to the Manitou
water. A shipment of a trial case
was sent to Rawlins Tuesday and
the result will be awaited with in
terest by those interested in this
new enterprise.
If this venture is successful,
and there seems now to be no
doubt about it, Saratoga will have
a new and important enterprise
and one that will not only be very
profitable but make the medical
hot springs here famous.

turning 100000 ties into the river
in May and then, using an insult
fcient number of drivers, to let
them straggle down the river for
months. Nor does the law pro-
vide for his paying any damages
in case he by negligence or other
wise allows his ties to run onto
hay or alfalfa land; or when as in
one case last year, from utter neg
ligence, he allowed his ties to jam
in Brush creek and flood and
wash out a field of popatoes.
Every drive that has yet come
down the river has damaged
ranchmen more or less. In many
cases the thousands of ties, bump
ing into the sides of the stream,
gradually cut away the land.
They often tear out fences across
the creeks, and sometimes put
them back-but are not compelled
to by law. In another case the
ties we're doomed in a creek on
which I had rented q pasture and
had cattle in it. The tiee filed
the bed of the creek solidly and
prevented stock from crossing it.
A number were caught on one
side where there vas little feed
and as they could not cross over
to where the feed was they SUI
fered considerably. but the tie
contractor claimed he had under
the law the right to so use the
creek in the course of driving ties
and that he was wholly within his
rights. Certainly the law which
was so carefully drawn for his
protection did not give any to the
ranchman.
1t is claimed that under Art. l
secs 81, 30 and 33, of the State
Constitution this law is invalid.
Whether this is SO or not, it is
certainly wrong and should be
repealed IT completely changed at
the next session of the legislature.

there. They have gone 30 feet on
the lead, which has improved in
in value with every foot. There
are ten inches of very rich miner
al and from three to four feet of a
vein that is fast becoming miner

took out a bushel of the loose
sand carbonates and washed them
down and found it filed with cop

from a grain of wheat to a walnut.
Some of these specimens he
brought in and left at this office
and we have seen no richer copper

important bills to watch, running

FISHING WITH MINNowS.
The Taking of Minnows in Nets Claim
ed to be a Violation of Our
Fish Laws.

Complaint was made before
Judge Blood last Monday against
a fisherman for using minnows for
bait, it being claimed that the
minnows were trout and their use
a violation of the law which for
bids the taking of that species of
fish under six inches in length.
The matter was not decided, the
judge reserving his decision until
the 18th inst
Aside from the question involv-
ed as to whether the minnows in
question were trout fry the taking
of minnows by means of nets is
clearly a violation of law as we
look at the matter. OF course no
cares how many, nor in what
way, suckers or sucker fry are TAX
en- or destroyed, but there is no
assurance that in netting minnows
for bait that many trout fry are
not SO taken and destroyed. There
is much discussion as to the SINH
larity between the mouths of
trout and sucker fry, to all of
which we must plead ignorance,
but the law with reference to the
manner in which fish Of any size
is to be taken is SO plain that he
who runs may read.
