In choosing a company for this
great play, it was believed wise and
necessary to adhere to the principles
that are followed in all similar i'm
portant organizations, and that is,
select each person with but one OBJ
ject in view, and that their adapta-
bility to the character they are to
portray. In this manner an exception
ally strong company has been secur-
ed, and some clever vaudeville artists
also added to theprogram. Warren,

"The Green-Eyed Monster"

This play is very successful Eng
lish comedy y made famous but a few
years ago by John Hare in London.
but the play is not what it's name
would indicates a meledrama OF some
horrible derivation, but is a beauti-
full comedy with a purely English at
mosphere, and enough Americanism
to remind you of your liberty. It is
called a greatcomedy and it is, but
there is also a thrilling heart story
running through it,, and sustaining
an unbounded interestin in it's charact.

Bought Coco Head of Sheep.

Haines Bros. have purchased from
the Geddes Sheep Company 5000
head of old ewes which they will feed
on their ranch this winter and ship to
market in the Spring. Haines Bros.
cut a large quantity of hay on their
ranch and have 700 tons of alfalfa as
a result of last summers crop. They
a make more by buing and feeding
sheep for market than by selling the
hay to local parties. The sheep will
be delivered within a few days aud
placed on the ranch of Haines Bros,
where they will be ranged during the
day time and fed hay at night.

H MAIL
A Modified Rural Delivery Service to
be acknowledgements Mon
dells Effective Work.

Notices posted in the state convey the
to December Sd proposals will be re,
ceived for carrying the mails IN the
star routes in Wyoming for the four
year period beginning July LIST, 1902.
This letting of mail contracts is of par
ticular interest and Importance in view of
the fact hat all bids received are sub
ject to two new requirements.
LIST. No bid will be considered unless
the bidder shall agree in his bid that in
event of service being awarded 10 him
he will give his personal supervision to
the performance Of the same and will
reside on or contiguous to the route.
ID. Mail must be delivered Tree to all
who make request and place boxes or
francs along the route to receive the
samoa modified rural free delivery.
These new departures will be greatly
appreciated by our people as the free
delivery provision will enable many to
get mail at or near their homes regular
ly, and the provision limiting awards to
local bidders and cutting out syndicate
bidders will give local people the bene-
fits of getting contracts at first hands.
1t is expected that this limiting OF
bids will result in a slightly increased
cost OF service, but as the Department
reserves the right to reject any and all
bids it is quite likely that the lowest
bid received on a given line will not be
received if greatly in excess of the rates
paid heretofore. Last year the Depart.
ment let all routes in the New England
states under the new regulations and
the result was an average advance Of
about % per cent. in rhe cost of carry
ing the mali. It might be reasonably
inferred from the increased cost of car
rying New England routes that a like,
or even slightly greater increase in
the cost of Wyomings routes would not
be considered excessive by the Postotice
Department. AT present the average
cost of carrying Wyoming routes is
about &c for each mile travelled.
In defending the new departure in
Congress last winter, Congressman Mon
dell stated that it was expected that the
combining of contracts to local bidders
would increase the cost Of service. He
gave striking illustrations OF the starva-
ton rates which have come to be paid
under the system Of syndicate bidding
aud insisted that the government should
pay good prices for good service. He
also advocated the extension Of the sys-
TEN of box delivery along the star routes
and was instrumental in having limited
bidding and box delivery adopted on all
new mail routes let in Wyoming during
tine past year.

A GIGANTIC SHEEP TRUST.
Talk of Consolidating the Interests of
S%heepmen Into n Body, to be run
Under n Management-No Conflict
as to Range Would Then Occur.

From some of the prominent sheep
men of this part of the country we
learn that there is talk of forming a
sheep trust and pooling the interests
of every man in the country who,owns
sheep. Such an arrangement would
be M eminently satisfactory in its
workings, as the entire body of sheep
would then be controlled by a manage
ment placed at the head. There
would then be no more conflict over
the range, a the range would be
owned by the trust and, as soon as it
got more sheep than the range would
accommodate, it would at once reduce
its number of sheep and thus keep
them within bounds.
There are many advantages that
would follow such an organization,
chief among which would be, as stat
ed above, the controlling Of the range
and the number of sheep on it. The
expense of running the sheep, shear
ing, lambing and winter feeding,
Should such a thing become neces-
sary,) would all be reduced to a mini
mum. Each man could put in his
sheep, be.the number large or small,
and he could go about his business,
assured that his interests would be
better and more cheaply attended to
than if he were at the expense of at
tending to his own locks.
The owe crowding of the range is
becoming a very serious problem with
the sheep men and they see that
something has got to be done to re-
lieve the situation. The question of
of feed is every day growing worse
and it will be but a short time until
the small man is driven to the wall.
In fact such a trust as we mention
would be far more lucrative to the
small man than the present expensive
manner he is compelled to resort to
now. This matter is taking shape in
the minds of sheepmea and we be-
lieve it will be accomplished before
much longer.

Manager E. j. Mayberry, of the
Bell Telephone Company, returned
from his trip to Encampment Sun
day, where he has been superintend-
ing the putting in of the phones for
the exchange there and the stringing
of the wires. Everything is now
read for starting the exchange, the
switch board having passed through
here from Walcott the first of the
week. As soon as it is put in place
and the lines connected up the ex-
change will be ready for business and
Mr.. Mayberry thinks operations will
be begun about the Goth inst.
MIR. Mayberry also says that the
line to Slater, Colo, via Copperton
and Readers ranch, was opened up
for business Monday, with phones at
Rambler, and Copperton and it is al
so likely that a phone will be put in
at Readers ranch. The Company
have placed Mr.. Mayberry in charge
of the line from Walcott, clear through
to Slater and he will, in addition to
his management of the exchange at
this place, have charge of the En-
campment exchange. He will col
lect the rentals due the company
over the entire extent of line under
his charge.
1t is quite likely that phones will
be put in at many of the important
mines in the Battle Lake country and
connected with the main line at
Rambler.

There is a great deal of mining de
velopment going IN on Elk Mountain
and vicinity. Sheep Mountain, a large
up-heaval of rocks lying west of Elk
Mountain and forming a part of that
magnificent land mark, is just now
the centre of considerable mining ac-
tivity. Five brothers by the name of
Petit are opening up a vein of copper
ore in that mountain. From N of
the brothers, who was in here Monday
for supplies, we learned that the pros
poets of making a paying mine of
their claim is a very good one. They
have a vein several feet in width
which carries copper ore of a good
grade. We will be able to give
definite and extended information of
this locality soon.

j. B. H~assett, treasurer of the Sar-
atoga Board of Trade during the Gold
Hill times, when interviewed CON
corning the funds which the Rawlins
Board of Trade promised to give to-
ward the building of hat road, said:
"Rawlins promised to help us in
the building of that road to the ex-
tent of $500, but they did not come
to time with a single dollar. The
road cost, in all, about $1,000. OF
that amount the county paid $500,
the citizens of Saratoga Sl,250 and
Rawlins was only asked to put up
$3.50 of the $500 they had subscribed.
They insisted on having vouchers
rendered for the expenses they we're
to put up for, and DR.. II. NJ. Bennett
and myself went to Rawlins with the
vouchers for the $3.50 and gave them
to c. E. Dodge, who was either the
secretary or treasurer of the Rawlins
Board of Trade. In about a week he
returned them to us with the infor-
nation that the Rawlins people would
not contribute a dollar toward the
building of the road.
81 have the vouchers and papers in
my possession still and any one can
see them if they desire. Those bills
were never paid and the money is
still due and owing to the men who
did the work and furnished the sup
plies, tools, etc.
"There is money still due and I'M
paid, for labor to w. H. Greene, Ross
Combs, (who is now dead,) Thomas
Waldron, Chris. Farrar, Price Farrar
and others whose names | do not now
recall, and to W. B. Hugus & Co. and
Gus Jensen for supplies and tools
furnished which Rawlins people
guaranteed to pay"
Every man with whom we convers-
ed on this matter expressed n great
deal of indignation at the action of
the Rawlins Republican and the peo-
pie of that city for their action in
charging that Saratoga did not do
her part in the building of the Gold
Hill road, when, as a matter of fact,
Saratoga built almost the entire road
at its own expense.

Tried to Rob the Bank.

Sometime between eight and eleven
O'Clock Wednesday night some mis-
creant broke into the Copper State
Bank building, entering through a
back window. The intruder didn't
get a dollar in money but he abscond-
ed with a fine Riot shot gun and a
large six-shooter, the latter gun be-
ing the property of the city marshal,
Ed. Wood. The burglary is thought
to have been the work of boys, as
cigarettes were found under the win
dow, and two or three young chaps
were seen about the building in the
evening. President Henry is having
the windows barred with iron bars to
prevent further annoyance. There
could be no possibility of a genuine
robbery at the bank as the safe is a
proposition which even expert cracks
men could not tackle with success
Mr.. Henry offers a reward for the APP
prehension of the imam with the
gun."-Encampment Herald.

The "Record" man takes great
pleasure in going after TAX Payer
simply because he suggested to the
council that they could practice a
little economy. As the Record man
has no property in the town, upon
which he will have to pay taxes, he
can afford to laugh at expenses. We
second the motion of Tax Payer
the salary of City Marshal aud City
Attorney be reduced and that the
night policeman be dispensed with,
and also that the council reduce X
penses in every other way possible,
Perhaps the "Record" man will find
something funny in these suggest
tons, but he will also find that the
sentiments of the people are with
"Tax Payer" whoever he may be.

WILL USE TRACTION ENGINE.
The Shelter Company to Transfer all
Freight 1t This Place and Haul it to
Encampment by Steam--Horse Power
Between This Point and the Rail-
road.

The Boston and Wyoming Smeltel
company are making preparations for
the movement of freight from Walcott
to their smelter and the transporta.
ton of the matte to the railroad. To
reduce the expense of this transpor-
tation as much as possible has been
one of the problems presented to
them for solution. They belive they
have accomplished it in the purchase
of a very large and powerful traction
engine and exceedingly heavy and
strong wagons. This engine, which
has an indicated horse power of wen
ty, but an actual h, p. of only seven
teen, will be used between this point
and the shelter. All freight to and
from the railroad will be hauled from
here by teams.
The company will try the present
e for a time and, if they find
that it is not sufficient, they will send
to California and get an engine of rs
horse power and put that on, sure
that it will be power enough.
The roads between Encampment
and this place are in fair shape, but
they need considerable work done on
them to accommodate such an engine
and its load. The bridges across all
the small streams especially should
be looked after and made strong
enough to carry safely any load that
may be put on them. The road be-
tween this point and Walcott needs
agreat deal of attention. The stretch
of a mile just north of town here, and.
the hill at Pass creek are the most in
need of attention.
The Board of County commission
ers should take this matter in hand
and send one of their number to view
and make return to them of such
work as will be necessary for the best
interest of the immense traffic that is
compelled to go over it.

stage was also sent out ON the noon
stage for the railroad in order to ac-

Gold Hill LEWIS.

w. j. Hamilton, of the Upper
Platte Gold Mining Company, was
down from the mountains Saturday,
after supplies and remained owe un-
til Tuesday, thus escaping the snow
storm which ragged for a couple of
days. Mr.. Hamilton says they are
beginning the work of sinking a new
shaft on the Gold Bug property.
Superintendent Greene picked out a
likely location and, although there
were no surface indication of the
lead, except some rich gold float, he
found the lead in less han two feet
from the surface. 1t proved to be
about two feet wide with an eight
inch pay streak of exceedingly rich
gold bearing ore. OF course the pay
streak will no doubt widen out until
it takes in the entire lead, which will
also become much wider as depth is
gained.
Mr.. Hamilton says they have had
delightful weather up in the camp
and they have no doubt but what, af-
ter the storm clears away, that the
weather will again be all that heart
could wish. He says the work is
moving along in II very satisfactory
manner and that they will be able to
accomplish much before the real Sc
we're winter sets in.
