Walcott to Become a Town.

Walcott was, two years ago, a side
track, IA blind station, on the U. p.
railroad. Today it has the bright
future of a live, widc-awake town to
look forward to. Within the past
year it has had a station house, a
lodging house, store and many other
buildings erected within its limits.
Ii is, and has been for some time, the
outlet for the great Battle Lake cop
per mines and the inlet for the vast
quantity of freight and mining ma
chincry, which has found its way into
the southern part of this county the
past two years.
AT The present time Buckley and
Ryan own a town site there and are
boring for ~artesian water, being down
230 feet. W. II. Mead, who owns "A
ranch on Pass creek, is also boring
for water there and has "A well down
$50 feet. The probabilities are very
strong that Cosgriff Bros. Co. will,
sometime during the coming spring,
build a large general store building
there and that this heretofore insig-
nificant sidetrack will become a stop
ping place of all passenger trains,
and the point of ebb and flow of the
great passenger travel, to and from
the greatest copper mining district
that this country has ever known.
1t has been, since the LIST of March,
the point of arrival and departure of
the Saratoga Encampment stage line,
us well as for the a quantity of To-
cal freight which annually flows into
this country, not to mention the an
nual shipment Of live stock from this
valley and its environment.
This station, with its phenomenal
rise in Importance, serves to illustrate
how valuable some insignificant and
valueless things are liable, on occa-
sion, to become.

TIE Coming Season.

We have repeatedly said through
the columns of The Miner that we
believed the coming year would far
exceed the past in prosperity SO far
as the Battle Lake district is con
cerned. We will give some of our
reasons for this prediction:
The snow fall is not one half what
it vas at this time last year, conse-
quently an earlier spring is looked for.
This has also enabled the energetic
p%rospector to work his properties all
winter, and the amount of develop
ment done this winter is almost mar
velous-thus getting the properties in
shape for the summer season,
Second: The change in the man
agement of some of the leading pro
ducers in the district has been of
much benefit to the properties and
also to the II of good prospects,
as the successful handling of the
prominent properties always make an
increased demand for promising pros
poets.
Third: New capital as well as new
blood has become Interested in our
camp. Quite IA large number of new
companies have been organized to OPP
crate in this district during the past
few months. The Hawkeye Copper

John Johnston, G. F. Hoel and j.

THE CONTINENTAL COPPER CO.
The Vein Will Soon be Quito Build
a Road to Saratoga Which VIII
Shorten The Distance to
Battle Lake Ten Miles.

The shaft on this property has now
reached a depth of 10 feet, "A station
is being cut at the depth of 100 feet
for the purpose of running a cross
cut to the vein. The shaft being sunk
perpendicular, is some little distance
from the vein. In sinking this shaft,
numerous %stringers, all pitching to-
ward the vein, have been cut and in
almost every instance the grade of ore
has been very high. 1t is feared that
the fuel supply will not hold out IN
til spring but the vein will be reached
before it is exhausted.
Mr.. Curtain, certainly has done a
large amount of work since he took
charge of this property.
The Continental company's proper

Northeast of Battle, and its develop

interest by the residents. When a

TOOK ALL HE COULD GET.
Young Fellow Starts in at Encampment

A boy about II years old, who gave
his name as Arthur Human, stole a
horse, saddle, blanket, bride and re-
volver from Doc Culleton, last Tues
day and started for the railroad. He
stopped at II. w. Haines' ranch, on
Jack creek that night and the next
morning, after eating breakfast, left
with a v coat belonging 10 Mr..
McCarty, who is employed on the
ranch, and a saddle blanket of Mr..
Haines'. He then went to H. B.
Booths ranch about five miles farther
down the river and stopped there
Wednesday night. The next morning
he left there and waited until he saw
Mr.. Booth leave the ranch. He then
returned, broke into the house and
helped himself to everything he want
ed, taking among other things a rifle
belonging to Mr.. Booth. He then
exchanged the horse he was riding
for one of Mr.. Booths and left, turn
ing up in Fort Steele Friday, where
he was at once arrested. He was tax

Saratoga, Wyoming.

Saratoga, Wyoming.
Dear sir
| will try to keep my promise to
write you on my arrival in California.
Myself and family arrived here in
good shape on the 18th of January
and found the weather fine and the
whole country in bloom, after leaving
Sacramento. The whole country
seems to be one garden. 1t is odd to
one to be here in February and pick
oranges and lemons from the trees,
and have your fresh vegetables
brought to your door every morning.
After we were here a few days it
commenced to rain and kept it up for
over two weeks. But, as they had
had no rain for the past four years, it
was a great benefit to the country,
and the people here are very happy
over it.
We are feeling finely and Nettie
grows stronger every day. There are
people here from all over the country,
some for pleasure but the most of
them are here for their health or hunt
ing the Fountain of Youth. | meet
people here on the street, quite often,
from Laramie, Cheyenne, Denver and
other places, hat | am acquainted
with.
There are a great many ships com
ing in here to the San Diego harbor.
The Q. S. War ship, "Iowa," has been
here for some time, also the training
ship adams" and the torpedo boat,
"Farragut."
A person can pass the time away
very nicely here. He can go fishing,
or he can enjoy nature on every hand
while walking. Many parties go out
hunting. We met Mrs. Rowett and
son Richard, sister of William Turn
bull aud Mrs. l.. G.. Davis, on the
street; Edward Ivinson and Mr.. Crow,
of Laramie. Chas. Hegwald, of Lar
annie, is intending to go into the
hardware business here. Warren
Richardson and mother, of Cheyenne,
are here for their health. Mr.. and
Mrs. John W. Cluff of our town are
here.
! e in the paper that the legisla-
ture has adjourned. 1t is a good
thing for the taxpayers that they
only sit 40 days instead of 60 days,
but it would be a godsend if they
only met once in ten years, instead of
every two years, for it seems they are
only able to raise the license on
liquorand pas. IA bounty of $4,000 on
wild animals. If you don't call that
class legislation | should like to know
what it could be called. Not one of
them had the sand to bring in Il bill
to reduce railroad fare, or freight
rates in Wyoming, no matter how
much the public has to suffer-every-
body knows the reason why.
Yours truly, L. G. WOLF.

GAMBLE MURDER.

The Gamble family murderers have
all been arrested and are now in Jail at
Carthage. 1t will be remembered that
in 1899, while the father was absent on
business, the wife and four daughters
we're murdered and the residence
burned down, cremating the bodies.
Joe Leflore, mixture of Indian and
negro, was burned at the stake, and
made dying confession duplicating a
we'll known white man in that vicinity.
Rewards were offered and hundreds of
the best men Of Leake county gave
their word that, should an arrest occur,
they would do everything in their
power to avoid mob violence. Albert
Harris, who at the time of the burning
of Lefore, pulled out the teeth from
the charred skull and distributed
them among the crowd, was told some
thing of the awful crime by Andy
Boyd. Harris beginning to circulate
the matter, it reached the ears of Boyd
and his associates in crime, and Harris
was "white- capped" He afterward
had Boyd arrested, who then divulged
the whole matter and the following
persons were quietly arrested on Mon
day: Russell Breach, white; Bob Smith
and his wife, Andy Boyd, John Olive
Gray and Mandy Gilmore.
The whole county is aroused. 1t is
stated that Broachs friends are going
to do everything in their power to Sc
cure his release.
