TO LARAMIE PEAK DISTRICT PRO
DUcTlvE OF NOT MUCH ELSE
THAN EXPERIENCE.
The eaIena Found is Mt of Very High
Quality and There S Not Much to
Say for ouantity-The Rush to the
Find Resembles Old Days in Colo
rado-Finder's hard-Luck Story.

Nearly all of the gentlemen who
went to the Laramie peak country to
investigate the reports of a marvellous
find of galena have returned. They
bring stories varying somewhat as to
minor details, but upon one thing they
nearly all all agree, and that is that the
stories of the immense body of high
gade lead are not borne out by the
facts.
There is lead there, they all say, and
many specimens were brought back
by the different parties, but that it eX-
lists in large bodies OF that it is of sur
passing richness. none assert.
1t was reported that a vein twenty
eight feet wide had been discovered
anew, and that the vein extended for
three miles across the section at this
width. Instead, there is a thin vein of
lead. Some of the specimens, carefully
sorted, show lead to the extent of so
or 60 per cent, while much of it, and
that which one can find in largest
quantity, will run far below this. and
even down to less than 10 per cent.
The haste to reach the field was lu-
dicrous in the extreme. Men started
at all hours of the day and night, some
even driving the ninety-one miles in a
day, changing teams en- route, to be on
the ground ahead Of their %neighbors.
One gentleman discovered, about the
time the news of the rich strike reach
ed this city, that his daughter, who
was in hat section, was very anxious
to return home. and he was there to
welcome many others whose daugh-
tiers weren't there and didn't want to
come home at that particular time.
Each had a good laugh at the other.
and all say the joke is decidedly on his
neighber.
The news vas brought to the city
by Alex Sellars. and when he left he
trusted to a neighbor to stake a claim
or two for him. He came to town in
the belief that when he returned he
would find two of the best claims re-
served. Instead, he found that the
man he left to attend to the matter had
forgotten him, and Alex vas left out
in the cold. He did not weep however,
for his claim was almost as good as
the best anybody else got.
Seriously, the district is not as good
as some pictured it. but it is not as
bad as nothing at all. and some lead
exists in paying quality, but not in a
very paying quantity. The vein is
neither wide nor long, and some of the
ore that was turned out will not pay
the expense of bringing it to the rail
road. There are several tons from the
old workings on the dumps. but a gen.
tleman capable of testing says it will
not run for the whole mass higher than
10 per cent.
More of the stampeders are expected
home tonight. and others will be re-
turning in a day or two.

The Wrong Man Shot.

Senator Clark OF Wyoming was in

ion Pacific railway officials relative to
the purchase of certain land grants
owned by that company adjoining his
oil fields in the western end of Wyo,

The senator was greatly shocked by
the news concerning the attempted as.
sassination of President Mckinley.
He said:
THE wrong man was shot. They

TWO MORE SALES
OF ICONOCuAST STOCK

OF lCOkOClAST STOCK.
w. e. Hiskey today bought R. E.
Haskel's one-eighth interest in the
~Iconoclast mine, located in Halleck
canon, and in turn sold a one-sixteenth
interest each to Chas. l.. Houston and
Thomas McHugh. The price paid is
not made public but it is said to be a
good sun. The stock in this company
is growing in demand and as soon as
any is offered for sale it is readily TAX
en-.
The members of the company conf.
IDENTIFY expect that it will be but a very
short time before they will have a pay
ing proposition. The last assay from
ore taken from the mine gave a return
of 25 per cent in copper. The vein is
now -four feet in width between well-de,
fined walls and is constantly increasing
in width and richness as depth is at,

Otto Playa. son of Mrs. Raymond

this about establishes his right to the
roundup in former years, and is well
known among the stockmen of this

TROUT CREEK DISTRICT.
Rich Mineral Deposits Being Uncovered In
Crook County.

The history of the discovery of mineral
in the district is of very recent date
About eight years ago man by the name
Of Wilson was herding sheep on the Jones
ranch, about eight miles above the pres
ent site of Ashwood, and picked up few
pieces of float quartz, which looked to him
as though they might be worth some
thing. He took samples with him to
Walla Walla, Washington, where he had
them assayed and was surprised to find
that they showed about S3s In gold to the
ton.
From that time dates the prospecting
which has uncovered the richest belt OF
mineral in the west. Until 1893, though,
no rich strikes were made and very few
people outside of the community were
aware that mineral was found here, and
when told to outsiders, a sarcastic smile
was generally the answer, as 1t was
thought to be incredible that such riches
Law undiscovered where sheep herders aud
stockmen had travelled for SO long mum.
Der of years.
Yet In 1893 the discovery of ledge of
quartz by some of the members OF Walla
Walla company, gave such promise that
development work was commenced and
capitalists became interested to such an
extent that the Oregon King Mining com.
pany was formed and the prospect con.
verted into the Oregon King mine, recog.
nized by everybody to be the richest In
mineral Of any mine in the Pacific North.
west. About the time Of this discovery,
Tom Brown and associates discovered the
St. Elmo ledge, which was very close to
the King and which Is now ow ned by the
King company.
These discoveries led to much prospect.

and others; and now as prospecting and
development continues, many rich and
valuable strikes are being made. The
success that has been attained bv these
miners has amply demonstrated the fact
that for miles around the town of Ash.
wood Is buried untold wealth, not alone In
gold but in other m neralS, such as silver,
copper, zinc, etc, and for the man who
understands mining with capital behind
him, there are unlimited opportunities IN

gage Check" with its clever come
dians, pretty girls. catchy music and
up-to-date specialties, next Saturday

to please the patrons of the Canon

REGISTER!

1t is the indispensable duty of every
Republican, man or woman, to see to
it that they are properly registered.
In this city and also in Florence this
must be done personally. For new
registrations two legal voters must
be taken along as vouchers. Unless
you are registered you cannot vote.
Your vote lost might possibly mean
the defeat of a Republican candidate.

Saturday night, October 10.
There are two places at which you
can be registered-the court house
and at the printing Office at the rear
of the First National Bonk, at which
place Mr.. A. R.. Frisbie will act as
special deputy.
Again, if you have moved from one
ward to another since last election
you must 60 to the court house, per-
sonally, and have your residence
changed. This should bs attended
to at once.
II every Republican will see to it
that they are properly registered,
then on election day vote a straight
ticket, the Republican ticket will be
elected by an overwhelming majority.
