A Monster Vein.

W. r. Wilcox and J. B. Crane were
over from Elk mountain this week.
Nj. Crane, who is the superintendent
of the Copper Cave Mining Company,
says they are making good Roadway
with the development of that proper
ty. They are now cross-cutting the
lead and, though they have run the
cut 33 feet into the lead, they have
not yet found the foot wall.
Mr.. Crane says every foot of the
vein matter is mineralized and, while
they have not as yet struck any high
grade ore, he considers it one of the
largest low grade propositions, just
as it stands, that he ever saw. He
is confident they will strike a body of
high grade ore before reaching the
foot wall and is of the opinion that
the vein is at least 80 feet wide.

Pass Creek BASIN.

H. c. Paulson was over from Pass
creek basin last week. He says the
past winter has been very warm and
nice, yet it has been II of the hard
est winters on stock he ever saw in
this country. The first SHOWS that
fell We're not blown away by the
wind and this left the ridges all Gov
cred up, so that stock had no place to
feed. Mr.. Paulson says he has had
plenty of hay up to the present time
and that the green grass is coming
very rapidly. He has been very for
tunate with his calf crop, not having
lost one out of fifty head. Some of
his neighbors, who were short ON hay,
will not come out SO well, as the cold
storms that are quite sure to come
will no doubt kill many weak cattle,
as well as a large per cent. of the
calves that come.

The grading of the streets was com
pleted yesterday and the men having
the job have done excellent work and
are to be commended for the manner in
which they fulfilled their contract.
There were some who objected to the
filling of the holes on Bridge and First
streets. but there is not u man who has
the best interests OF the city at heart
who would have "A single yard of that
dirt removed. The grading has chang
ed the appearance of the entire business

A Cowardly Act.

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning. as
night policeman, John Cousins, was max
ing the rounds Of the town, he discovered
a fire in the shavings in the Attield build
ing. 1t had beer set only just the mo-
ment before and had not burned over a
place larger that fifteen inches across.
He extingnished it at once and thus, not
only saved the building, but a general
confiagation right in the heart OF the
business part of town.
There is not the slightest clue to the
cowardly whelp who did the deed and
it is pretty certain he would be handled
with ungloved hands should he be dis
covered.

THE past winter has been one of the
mildest that was ever experienced IN
this country, and yet there are more
poor cattle and less hay In the valley
than were ever known before since the
time when cattle were supposed to win
ter on the range. The fact is that the
winter has been just cold enough to re
quire constant feeding Of cattle. The
quantity of hay with which ranchmcn
started into the winter was greater han
any former year yet today there is practic-
ally no hay in the entire valley. 1t is all
gone and cattle have been turned out ON
the range to rustic % the young grass
which is just making Its appearance.
The past ten days Of warm weather have
started the grass in a remarkable man
ner. but it has, as yet, no sustenance
and cattle will get weaker instead OF
stronger in feeding on it. There is Ger.
tain To be considerable loss in calves as
well as some old stock. especially If we
and quite sure to come. Hay is worth
from eight to ten collars per ton in the
stuck and baled hay twelve and fifteen
dollars. The scarcity of hay at this
time is accounted for only by reason OF
the great demand tor hay in the mining
camps, and to supply the number OF
freight teams that are engaged in NOV,
ing the traffic of the valley and the sur.
rounding mountains.

Haines Bros. and W. B. Hugus
have very recently made another pur-
chase of California timber land, which
adjoins the Summer Home Farm,
which property they purchased two
or three months ago. The Summer
Home Farm is s miles from Santa

feet of red wood lumber.
Mr.. Mowry came on from Califor

He will return to that place very
shortly, accompanied by his daughter
Bertha, and will take charge of the
cutting of this timber into lumber.

California some time this coming

The Cheyenne Leader published few

land date line. 1t related a hlir split
ting story about a bandit terrorizing the

The Leaders local man should be more
careful. 1t is very cruel at this time of

Laramie until they dare not 90 out of
doors. Such a condition might cause
heavy stock losses, all because there was

are right. There is no reason why they

noon a statement in which he says:
The constantly recurring reports of
cases of smallpox on board incoming
steamers and the detention of immigrants

listing abroad. AS all of the cases come
on steamers arriving from Naples, that
art is known to be seriously infected.
THE disease has been unusually preva-
lent this spring and the trouble should be
met at the other end In order to insure
a stoppage of the influx of smallpox The
intending passengers before embarkation
should be closely inspected by agents of
our federal government, and all those
who have been in contact with cases of
smallpox, or those who have stopped at
infected or suspected houses should be
debarred until after there is no further
danger of their contracting the disease.
l have telegraphed Surgeon General Wy
man reporting the great number of cases
we have found and have asked him to in
struct his inspectors abroad concerning
the existence of the disease at Naples.
He has been asked to have the lodging
