Died OF Diptheria.

Clarence, the 1S months old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Stark, died last
Sunday evening of diptheria. The
disease was at first thought to be
scarlet fever, but later developments
revealed the fact that it was the dread
diptheria. The body was buried
Monday,
We are informed that the little
four months old baby of the same
family now has d~iptheria and that it
can hardly recover. The Stark fami-
ly have had a hard time the past
winter. Mr.. Stark has but recently
recovered from a very long siege of
typhoid fever and comes these
later calamities to burden them.
The family is certainly entitled to the
sympathy of the community.

HOT SPRINGS IMPROVEMENTS.
To Build a Veranda-Plant Grass And
Shrubbery and Build Cottages
More New Bath Tubs.

When Mr. Rumsey, n of the own
ers of the Hot Springs Hotel proper
ty was here the first of the week, he
said the company was contemplating
many improvements for that property
the coming summer. The grounds
surrounding the hotel will be covered
with soil and planted to lawn grass
and shrubbery; a veranda will be
built along three sides of the main
building and probably three or four
neat cottages will be constructed in
the foreground. The bath house
neal the river has been moved and
joined onto the pump house for con-
venience sake and this will enable
one man to attend to the pumping
engine and the bath rooms.
The large slate tubs have not given
perfect satisfaction and four of the
six are to be replaced by porcelain
tubs within the next month The
porcelain tubs are expensive, costing
SIS each in Chicago, but they will
give perfect satisfaction and last for
ever and a day.
Every effort will be made to beau
tify the hotel surroundings and to
make the hotef itself one of the best
in the state. Under the management
of E. w. Baker the hotel is gaining
a wide reputation for hospitality and
is doing a thriving business. Arrange
ments have been made whereby this
custom will be greatly increased when
the spring rush for the country sets in.

WILL DRIVE $4,000 TIES.
The Drive Will be on Three Creeks and
Will Start in April-About Five
Feet of Snow in Camp.

G. L. Plummer, book-keeper for the
Teller tie camp on South Brush creek,
came down from there the first of the
week. He reports that there is about
5 feet of snow on the level in the
mountains where the camp is stu
ated.
Mr.. Plummer says the spring drive
will commence sometime in April, and
will comprise about 100000 ties, Gov
ering North and South Brush and
Barrett creeks. There are about 40
men in the camp now, some of them
having come out on account of the
snow which is commencing to soften,
making it impossible to go outside of
the beaten tracks without snow shoes.
They get their mail in camp twice a
week, C. A. Kennady having contract
ed to carry the mail and such other
supplies as may be needed from town.
Mr.. Plummer Is a very pleasant
and courteous gentleman and one
whom it is a pleasure to meet. He
came here last September from North
Carolina and took charge of the
company's books.

There are from four to six feet of
snow all over the sides of Elk noun
tain at this time, and it will be at
least sixty days before any prospect
ing can be done there to any advan-
tage. Elk mountain lies in the path
of a very strong air current, and
fierce storms rage there when other
parts of the country are comparative
ly free from disturbance. In fact we
know that even in mid summer fierce
snow storms of short duration have
swept over its crest land anything
caught in its embrace at such a time
would be severely handled. We knew
of a party of p~icnickers, who went to
its summit one Fourth of July, and
were caught in a snow blizzard and
almost persisted. The storm appear
ed to come out of a clear sky and
lasted but thirty minutes. but when
the sky cleared the ground was cover
ed with hail and sleet to the depth of
several inches and lay in heaps be-
hind boulders and in the ravines and
canons.
For the reasons above advanced we
would recommend prospectors to re-
main away until the first of May, or
at least until the middle of April, be-
fore going there to prospect.

George Bufom Returned.

George Button has returned from

II half ounces from the front part of
his head, Immediately over his eyes.
He is still unable to see and will have
to return, SO the doctors in Denver
say, for another operation before his
eyesight will be restored. 1t is
though that his eyesight is liable to
return to him at any time in the same
mysterious N in which it de-
parted.

Mining Excitement at Pearl.

George E. Brown, who was down
from Big creek last week, brings word
of a decided mining excitement at
Pearl, Colo, just over the Wyoming
line a mile or two. Two copper claims
are being worked about two miles
northwest of Pearl post office and a
force of men is employed on each
claim. Charles Snyder, of Walden,
Colorado, is putting up a 5000 hotel
at Pearl, the lumber for which has
been contracted for and is now being
hauled from Walden. Other build
ings are shortly to be erected at that
place and prospecting is going for
ward as fast as the snow will permit.
As soon as the spring opens up it is
expected that more finds will be made.
The claims being worked are very
a the Wyoming line, and the show
ing is said to be very good for excel
lent copper mines with a little more
development work.

Starting an Aquarium,

E. P. Andrews, ON his recent trip to
Denver, purchased some more Gold
and Silver fish to add to his aquarium
which is in one of the windows of his
place of business. There are two
Fan Tailed Chinese Gold fish in the
case, which are nearly six inches long
and very beautifully marked. The
water in the case is changed only
every two or three months and conse-
quently the fish are no trouble. They
are fed with a prepared food, it tax
ing almost nothing to satisfy them.
This aquarium is a very interesting
sight and one well worth looking at.
Mr.. Andrews has one curious fish in
the aquarium about which a great
many guesses are hazarded, many
saying it is a Norwegian sword fish;
while some say it is a homeless cat
fish; and others go so far as to say it
is a tadpole. However we will allow
the disputants to settle it themselves.

Great Care Should be Used.

Now that there can be no doubt
about the presence of diptheria in our
town the greatest are should be ex-
ercised to prevent its further spread.
In many such cases the disease gets
started by the c~arelessness of parents
in not keeping their children away
from the bedside of some sick child,
or from the presence of the dead.
There is no use to quarantine unless
the quarantine is strictly observed
and chiidren-and all others-should
be kept away from even the immedi-
ate neighborhood of the quarantined

COPPER NUGGET.
A Large Sized Lump of Pure Copper
Glance Found in the Elk
Mountain Copper
Claim.
RICHER THAN ANYTHING YET
Discovered--Elk Mountain the Centre
Of Attention.


o has been received from Elk
OF a remarkably rich strike
an the Elk Mountain copper claim, of
"hich our q are well acquaint-
ed. A great deal OF very rlch copper
glance Is reported to nave been taken
out ana there are rumors OF a very
large, rch nugget, OF pure copper
glance having been unearthed In the
workings.
While the workings on this mine
are not down TO any very great depth,
probably from 10 to 70 feet, both
Walls nave peen uncovered n the
rich oody OF glance is found on the
hanging wall IN such a shape that 1t
can be worked OH with gads. Some
OF the ohcers OF the company, when
interviewed on this matter denied
the story put admitted that there
was some for 1t. They
refused TO give any statement out for
publication however, but their atti-
tude was such that we are convinced
mat something OF great Importance
a TRANSFERRED there and that they
are Tor some good reason, endeavor-
ing I keep the matter as quiet as
possible tor the present at least. 1t
Is sufncient Il say that this office is IN
possession OF a ten pound lump OF the
glance taken from the new find and
any one who desires can inspect the
same.
n importance OF this md cannot
ne ove mate 1t means that
Elk mountain Will soon be swarmlnS
with ~Prospectors. 1t also means that,
at the present time, there is no min
ing locality In this remarkably rich
copper country, which presents a bet
Ter neid Tor prospecting than that OF
Elk The end OF a noun
tain cham has always been consider
ed the best place to lind r1ch mineral
In quantity. Elk Mountain, which
rears It's hoary crest ll,OOO feet above
sea level, marks h erminus OF the
mighty Medicine Bow range OF noun
tains. 1t Is a n mark that attracts
the eye for more thar a hundred miles
and is one of the most conspicuous
objects IN the whole state OF Wyo-
ming. 1t stands apart from the rest
OF the range, grand, gloomy and PEE
culiar," and its crest is often covered
with a storm cloud when all the rest
OF the range, as well as the surround
ing country, is clear and bright.
Within its canons and the fastness of
its wooded tides have been committed
many crimes, crimes such as has serv-
