THE BAY HORSE.
One of the Largest Copper Propositions
in the Entire Country--A Vein Of Ore,
the Width Of Which has not Been
Determined.

w. G. Foss, the president of the
Bay Horse Copper Mining Company,
was in town Tuesday on his way
home. Mr.. Foss in speaking of the
Bay Horse proposition said:
1.-THE Bay Horse property is situat-
ed in Beaver creek canon, about five
miles from'C Collins post-ofice. 1t is
an immense proposition, the width or
extent of which we do not know yet,
We are now down on the shaft to the
depth of 125 feet, and we have been
sinking in ore right from the surface,
and it has been growing in richness
with every foot. For the past As
feet we have been sinking in ore that
would pay to ship, for it will run
from 10 per cent. to 20 per cent. in
copper.
while we are in shipping ore we
have not taken out any except what
was necessary to sink the shaft, nor
do we intend to until we have gone
to a depth of 200 feet.
"When tell you that, in all the
125 feet we have gone down, with a
vein that dips to the south, we have
not e either wall, you can form
some idea of the extent of the vein or
lode. We have all our supplies in,
our machinery in place and in fine
working order and will work right
along all winter.
COPPER CLAIMS IN GOLD HILL.
"We are also interested in several
claims in Gold Hill that show up well
in copper. They are the Frances,
Surprise, Red Bird, Black Bird and
Charlie q. These claims all show
copper and iron, but there is a strong
probability that the iron carries gold
in sufficient quantities to at least pay
for the smelling of the ore. We will
not be able, owing to the lateness of
the season, to do anything with our
properties there this winter, but we
hope to get in there early next spring
with machinery and open those claims
up and see what they contain.
"There is much interest being tax.
en- Gold Hill now and we believe it is
going to be the coming gold camp Of
Wyoming"

GOLD HILL NEWS.
Activity Reviving In That Camp-Work
on the Gold Bug to Continue all
Winter-A Six Foot Vein That shows
Good | Indications.

j. M. Hamilton, secretary of the
Upper Platte Gold Mining Company,
and W. H. Greene, superintendent,
came down from Gold Hill Friday and
Mr.. Hamilton left for Chicago on
Saturdays stage.
Mr.. Greene, who has been interest
ed in Cole Hill wei since the camp
first started, is a thoroughly reliable
man and from him we gathered many
facts in connection with the develop
ment work now going on there. Mr..
Greene said:
81 am down now for provisions and
miners supplies for the winter, as we
expect to keep right on with our
work on the shaft we are now sinking
on the Gold Bug during the entire
winter. We have the timbers all out
with which to build a shaft house and
the building will be enclosed within
the next two weeks and we will then
be ready for our winters work.
"When l left camp we were down
only thirteen feet on the vein, but it
had widened out from two to six feet
since We uncovered it at the surface.
The entire vein is mineralized and
pans gold, but you will understand
that the most of the gold in such a
vein, as in all copper veins, has leach
ed out and that paying ore is only
found with depth. There is a pay
streak in this vein of about 8 inches
which yields free gold specimens.
Then there is a streak of about II
inches On the hanging wall that looks
like porphyry. 1t is as fine a pros
pect as l ave saw and when we get
depth on it we will certainly have a
paying proposition.
"Gold Hill is beginning to come to
the front again in a most decided
manner. 1 have never, during all
these years, lost faith in it as being
one of the richest gold countries in
the west and the coming years are
going to justify my faith. Before an
other year rolls around you will see
%prospectors falling yer one another
to get to Gold Hill"

1t has been suggested to The Sun
that it would be a good thing if the
ranchmen of the valley would help in
the construction of the roads to the
mines, and not leave all the burden
of such work on the towns and miners.
Ranchmen reap as much, or more,
benefit from good mountain roads
than do the business men, for they
are enabled to market all their pro-
duce, for which there is always a
good demand. If they would turn
out with teams and give a few days
each to the work it would expedite
such work very much. We think
they need but to have their attention
called to the matter to C III their
help in this work.

Roosevelt's Commences.

Theodore Roosevelt has only one
fault" SAID a rel l-known New York
politician less than two years ago,-"he
does not know how to tell a lie" This
was ar experts Judgement. uttered with
every assurance Of settled conviction.
Roosevelt has never learned to tell or
act n lie.
The character Of the twenty-siIth
President OF the United States,-of him
who enters upon his great office, not
amid peans OF victory and with the Joy
full acclaim OF happy p%artisans, but.bow-
ed with the nations woe and stricken
with grief,-is not complex; it is ex-
tremely simple. 1t may be summed up
in a word: Theodore Roosevelt is genu.
inc. That means that he is natural,
not affected; frank, not deceptive, true,
not false. All his other traits and char
acteristics follow naturally from his
genuineness. His private life, his pub
lie activities, his modes of thought, OF
speech, and OF action, are those of a
genuine man. They are not to be un-
derstood or explained by involved pro-
cess of reasoning, or by search for hid
den causes and concealed ambitions.
The simplest and most natural inter
probation OF Theodore Roosevelt's words
and deeds is always the truest.-From a
sketch OF Theodore Roosevelt, in the

Complain of Agent at Walcott.

There have been a number of COM
plants made to this office of the I'm,
accommodating character of the U.
p. agent at Walcott. He is said to
be arbitrary and naughty in his deal
ings with the public and acts as
though he thought he was the whole
push and that the people Of this val
ley were not entitled to any of the
courtesies which an agent can give, if
he DESIRES and which the public ap-
preciate so much when they are given.
The parties most deeply interested
avow their intention of calling the at
tention of the Superintendent of the
Mountain Division to this matter il
things don't change soon. We do not
know, of our own knowledge, as to
the truth of these charges, but we do
know that a.haughty, self important
agent is one of the most disagreeable
men on earth to have dealings with,
as he can make matters very unpleas-
ant for all who come in contact with
him and still keep within the bonds
of law and the regulations of the
company.

he hopes for he will try Texas. He

to whom he will go as a last resort.
The people of this valley regret very

hope that he will recover his health

New Strike in the Rudefeha.

1t is reported that the Ferris Hag-
garty has made a strike in the 240-
foot level that eclipses anything ever
found in the mine. The management
has been keeping the matter quiet
but the news was given out by an
employe. The exact richness of the
ore is not known, but in view of the
fact that ore running as high as 55
per cent. copper has been taken from
the mine, it is believed the new find
will run higher than 60 per cent

james Gentry Badly Hurt.

James Gentry, a business man of
Encampment, who came down from
that place Tuesday to attend a meet
ing of the Eagles at this place, re-
ceived very serious injuries by a fall
in the Hot Springs Hotel at $50 yes
terday morning. 1t seems that he
was in the hall of the 3rd story of the
building, when he lost his balance
and fell down the stairway to the End
story, receiving a very serious wound
in the forehead, a bad cash beside
the nose and an injury to his upper
jaw. DIR. Searight was called in and
pronounced his wounds serious, but
said that the worst result from the
fall was conclusion of the spine at
the base of the skull. Gentry is suf-
fering considerable pain at this time
and the result of his wounds cannot
be told for several days yet.

Fatal Runaway.
Encampment, Wyo.,
Oct. 10Th, 1901.

Special to The Sun.
A horrible accident occurred here
at noon today, by which Mrs. Minnie
Veile lost her life. Mr.. Viele runs a
milk wagon and supplies the towns
of Riverside and Encampment with
milk. Mrs. Veile often drove the
wagon and today, as she was return
ing home from delivering milk, the
horse became frightened and ran
away, throwing her out, dragging and
mangling her so badly that she died
within a few minutes after they had
gotten her to her home. 1t is not
known how the accident occurred,
but it is supposed that the woman
was either thrown out, or jumped out
of the wagon and became entangled
in the lines and was dragged to
death.
Deceased was the daughter of E.
B. Marsh, formerly of this place, but
now of Idaho. She married Benja-
min Culleton, who died two or three
years ago, and to them two children
were born. Within the past Is
months she married a Mr.. Veile, on
the Encampment river, and leaves a
little baby but a few months old, be-
sides her husband and the two child
rem before mentioned.

have resumed their normal state. The
so.called instructions in Kan.Su and

much exaggerated. Three hundred
Chinese troops entered Peking on Sep

were handed over to Prince Ching with
elaborate ceremonies. All the foreign
troops were withdrawn. with the ex-
ception of the legation guards and
guards at the railway stations. Mr..
Rockhill said he expected to hear very
shortly of the return of the court to

dered and tortured in other parts of
China Roman Catholic missionaries
had lived under the protection of the
court at Hsian-Fu British officers and
missionaries had since visited the
court and were very warmly received.

the present system for tho purchase

Bureau has made considerable progress
toward the Standardization of ship At
