Thin Ice.

The Thermometer has not, as yet,
dropped below six degrees above zero
in Saratoga and vicinity, something
quite remarkable for this locality at
this time of year. Ice is scarce in
consequence, indications being that
there will be but little thick enough
for storing except that ON the Craw-
ford ranch above town. Mothers of
small boys are suffering considerable
anxiety On account on the instability
of the ice and the promises of the
aforesaid small boys. A boy who can
keep off the ice when there is a square
foot that will bear him up stands a
good chance of ruling a nation some
day.

Going South.

Mrs. F. G. Wolf and daughter Net
tie will leave on the 18th for Fort Lo-
gan, Colo, where they will visit Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander Num- and family.
On the 9Th of January F. G.. Wolf,
himself, expects to follow them and,
after a short stay at Fort Logan, he
and his wife and Nettie will take the
Santa Fe route for California, and will
not stop until they have reached the
warm and balmy climate of San Die
go, where they will spend three or
four months for the benefit of Mr..
VOLTS health. He has been very
much afflicted with his old malady,
rheumatism, of late, having during
the last sickness lost eighteen pounds.
The Hotel Wolf will be in charge
of F. NJ. Wolf during his fathers abb
sence. He had charge of the hotel
during his fathers absence in Cuba,
over a year ago, and his administra-
was SO successful that his father will
be very willing to relinquish the reins
of government to him for an unlimit-
ed time.

Whyf

Each season of the year brings its
puzzling questions to the minds of
small folk as well to the children of
older growth. Just about now the
small boy is trying to find out why
he shouldn't blow the horn, he receiv
ed for Christmas, all the time; why he
can't drag his iron express train over
the floor whenever he feels like it;
scalp his sisters new doll when he
plays Indian; take the mechanical TOW
to pieces to 9 how it works; play
ball in the parlor; practice with his
air rifle on everything in sight; and
eat candy as long as he can swallow.
If Santa Claus brought skates why
can't he go skating all the time if he
wants TOT Why will it hurt him to
eat all the mince pie and fruit cake
h. wants and what makes everybody
say he is cross after he eats It'll These
are the questions he is asking all over
the land and he is going to get all the
information persistent asking can un-
earth.

Copper In Medicine Bow Range.

East Side Copper Belt.-The cop
per belt on the east side of the North
Platte valley and on the west slope of
the Medicine Bow range is just begin
ming to assume prominence. In the
Scramble for locations in the Sierre
Madre range in the west side this Sec
ton has been overlooked by prospect
ors. With the exception of one case,
that of the Dewey mine, no prospect
ing has been done on the east side
except by ranchmen, until recently.
Toward the south end of this belt be-
tween Mullen and Douglas creeks
several large veins of copper have
been opened at different points. These
veins are low grade, but are promis-
ing on account of their great size.
The principal group on one of the
largest veins is owned by the Adams
brothers, the Wood brothers and
James Farrell. Locations on two
other veins of higher grade ore to-
wards the head of Mullin creek are
owned by Sherman Lutte and father.

An Increase Of Pension.

William E. Meason, one of the old
citizens of the Saratoga Valley, has
recently met with deserved good for.
tune in the way of an increase of pen
sion. Mr.. Meason was out on a scout
ing expedition in Dakota Territory, as
it was then called, during the civil
war, and got badly snow blinded,
from which he never recovered. He
has suffered untold agonies from this
trouble W since. He drew a pen
sion of Sl2 per month until Mr.. Mon
dell took his a up and secured an
increase to SIG. This, while an mad
equate compensation for all the mis-
cry and suffering of So years, is a very
acceptable help and Mr.. Meason is
indeed very grateful to Mr.. Mondell
for his timely aid.
Mr.. Mondell has proven a warm
and faithful friend to the old veteran
and they and their friends hold him
in high estimation.

The Small Boy and The n.

We seldom pick up a paper that
does not contain an account of some
distressing or fatal accident caused
by a small boy and a gun. The ~
rifle is the most common instrument
of death in the hands of the young
sters; presumably because of its
size makes it look less formidable
than a gun of larger size although, on
second thought, a nan would hardly
care to stand before a q any quicker
than in front of an elephant gun. In
deed a small boy and an elephant
gun would certainly be less destruc-
tive than the other combination as
shooting such a gun once would rend-
er the boy harmless for a period long
enough to enable his mental capacity
to develope considerably and his pa
rents to arrive at years of discretion.
Better let the boys grow a while be-
fore permitting them to risk their
lives and those of their companions
by carrying guns, as either to shoot or
be shot by a companion throws a
cloud of such misery over a boys life
that its traces can never be entirely
e~radicated, and the parents who per
mitted their boy to have the gun are
responsible for the awful blight.

The Chronic Kicker.

In every mining camp you will find
the chronic kicker. He can never be-
lieve anyone has a vein, or if he has
anything in tit is not in the right
locality to have mineral, and when he
sees the II teams going by loaded
with ore, that is about all the ore
there is in the mine-he always is on
the inside and has positive information
that the ore was pinching out-or that
the grade was to low to pay shipping
and treatment charges, and the mine
is only hauling the ore out to make
a show. We are sorry to say that we
have, one or two of these same kind of
men in this camp. If nothing else
willdo they make the new arrival be-
lieve the snow covers the tops of the
trees and hides them from sight in
the winter. Gentlemen, quit this
kind of work and and let us pull to-
gether and let the outside world
know what we have here, this camp
does not depend on one man or one
property. We have come here to bet
ter our condition and there is enough
here for all of us and hundreds of
others-let others come in and help
develop the mines, build houses and
make this the busy, thriving town it
deserves to be.-Battle Lake Miner.

Filled Lien on a Well.

A strange story of a man filing a
mechanics lien on a well comes from
the county clerks Office at Rawlins.
1t would seem that the well was a
Saratoga product and situated ON the
school house grounds. We did not
learn the name of the party who filed
the lien but he can rest assured that
he has inaugurated something new in
the way of mechanics liens and we
may now expect to hear of some 9TH
er enterprizing men to follow his ex-
ample. In fact we have heard it
limited there are several parties here
in town who contemplate filing a lien
on a badger hole, up on the road to
Riverside. The papers have not yet
been drawn but when they are we
will apprise the readers of The Sun of
the fact.

There is no trouble to get here
whatever; the roads are in splendid
condition, but little snow, and the
finest weather a man v 9 saw in this

Cheyenne, at Carr station, yesterday

What il Chivalryf

What is Chivalry? "In days of old
when knights were bold and barons held
their sway" it had to do principally with
war, the service of a knight given to his
lord, brave deeds OF heroism and gallant
ry. In these days when war has ceased
to be our principal business and is re-
garded as a dreadful necessity to be re-
sorted to only as a last chance and in
defense of life and liberty, Chivalry still
lives.
The spirit Of Chivalry shows in daily life
in little deeds more than in great Ones.
There are more men who will be brave
and heroic in battle even to the point
of risking HE for another than can be
truly brave and self sacrificing in the
little things! OF life.
Selishness, the animal in man, will
crop out il spite Of all u good inten-
tons, II It is not continually fought
back. 1t is 30 much easier to be manly
where others may see; to be chivalrous
in the eyes Of the world, to be just and
kind where it is pleasant and profitable,
hAod " 10 Boou LII SoueCiouIc edhc.
Chivalry Of the higher sort is a rare
jewel. 1t shows. not alone in polite at
tentions bestowed upon a young and
pretty woman who finds everyone ut her
service whever she goes. 1t does not
forget to be equally polite to her less
fortunate sister upon whose path the
world has strewn thorns instead of roses.
Chivalry is eve ready to protect the
weak, is kind to little children. deterrent
to the aged and Q found waiting for
a chance to take advantage Of another's
weakness.
We have one example of true chivalry,
in its finest sense. in the life and works
| OF our Saviour. All! could we but see the
hearts beneath the quiet faces, hear the
unuttered cries that lone but God may
understand from the lips Of those about
US, perhaps our nearest and dearest,
how much more would we feel that
chivalry,- the pure unselfish service
that restraints the bitter word. turns
aside the cruel deed and helps another
with his weary Load the chivalry VI
Christ is needed here and now among
our own.

Gone South.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Parr departed
for Los Angeles, Calf, on Saturday
TO spend three or four months in that
warm climate. Mr.. Parr, who was
badly injured a month or six weeks
ago, did not regain strength as fast
as it was thought he should, so the
doctor advised a lower altitude.
When Mr.. Parr got into a condition
where he could be examined it was
discovered that he had seven ribs
broken instead of two, as was thought

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Walter and
Mrs. Probst entertained their friends

Fatherland where the good old saint

Santa Claus at Brush Creek.

The Presbyterian Sunday School
at Brush creek, though small in num-
bers, is not lacking in spirit and cele-
brated Christmas in a pleasant way.
There was a tree for the small folks
who entertained the company with
Rotations and a little music. Santa
Claus delighted the children by pay
ing them a call during the evening
and, as each boy and girl had taken
the p%recaution to notify him by letter,
some time before, as to what each
particularly desired, he was able to
crafty the wishes of every little heart.
What a pleasant world this would be
II Santa Claus could have his way in
every home!

A A HARD TIME.
Post Office Clerks at This Place Been
Very Busy And Sometimes Very
Much Perplexed-Over Worked
During Holidays-Plagued
with Bursted Packages.


Christmas is over and there are
some people that are very glad of it,
among whom are the clerks at the
post Office. For the past month, and
especially the past week, they have
simply been showed under with pack
ages of all kinds, character and des-
cription; and money orders and reg
istered matter, we'll they had about
come to the conclusion that every
body in the country wanted every
thing registered and wanted it regis
tered right away and wanted it to be
"sure and go on that mail"
From 10 to IL sacks of mail were
received every day for the past week
large sacks filed with packages of
everything. Many of these pack
ages were IN bad order, caused by
not having been properly done up,
and in many instances it was difficult
to find out to whom they were ad-
dressed so badly used up were they.
Some were hopelessly wrecked, but in
the majority of instances each arti-
Gle was identified and reached its
owner in some sort of shape.
An immense quantity of mail for
Encampment, Battle Lake, Osceola,
Collins, Bennett, French and Pearl,
Colo, has also passed through this
Office and all sorted and sent out on
its proper route. This has been a
heavy task, but the boys have man
aged to get through it alive. But
they are heaving signs of relief now
to think the holidays are past and the
registered letter and money order
business have come down to their
normal level again.

A VERY BUSY CAMP.

Osceola The Center Of Much Mining
Aetivity-Electrie Light Works
May not Run Tunnel for Awhile
Three Shifts to be Put on
Leighton-Gentry And Osceola Mines.
Robert Dyer, who is Employed in
the commissary department at the
Rudefeha mine, was down this week
to spend Christmas with his mother,
Mrs. H. A. Dyer.
He reports the camp as very lively,
The mine and houses, throughout the
camp, are wired ready for the electric
light, the dynamos of which will be
placed in the shaft house.
Mr.. Dyer says they are not likely to
begin running the tunnel in to strike
the $50 foot level as soon as was con
templated. No definite time is now
set to begin the work.
The mines will close down during
Christmas day.
j. P. Jeffrey, the assistant clerk
and book-keeper, is spending his holi-
days in Denver.
The Leighton--Gentry Company
aud the Osceola Mining Company
will both put three shifts to work at
the beginning of the year.
Two feet of snow fell at the camp
last Friday night. There is at least
five feetof snow in places on the di-
vide, though it is at least five feet shy
of what it was at this time last year.
Mr.. Dyer says the Post Office De-
partment has ordered the name of the
post Office changed from "Osceola" to
"Rudefeha" on the LIST of January,
and has also advertised for new bids
for carrying the mail from Saratoga
to Rudefeha and on to Copperton.
Service from Battle would be an i'm
possibility for nearly all of the win
ter season, though that town is only
about nine miles distant.
