BATTLE LAKE. ITEMS.

Battle Lake Miner.
Geo. Sisson who owns several good
mining claims near town came up
from the valley Thursday to do his
annual work.
Grover Strong, who has been visit
ing his mother Mrs. Frank Hunter,
left last night for Denver in response
to a telegram announcing the sudden
death of his father, Sam Strong, the
millionaire mining man of Colorado.
z. r. Mccoy, r. H.. Young aud j.
M. Thomas, jr. have been appointed
by the county court as appraisers of
the estate of the late Lewis Ritten-
house, who died in an asylum in Hi
nois last winter. The estate consists
mainly of mining claims in the Battle
Lake district.
One of the largest and most impor-
tant mining deals in the history OF
the camp is being closed this week in
Chicago. The consolidation of the
Battle Lake Tunnel Site Company
and the Doane Rambler. j. NJ,
Thomas jr. of the Brokerage firm OF
Thomas Il Russell, of this place is
10Y in Chicago closing the deal. 1t
is the intention of the new company
to re-organize with a capitalization OF
2,500,OO0 shares and place both prop
critics under the same management
that the Tunnel Site has been in the
past, which has been of the best and
most progressive of any in the dis.
trict. The old Doane mine under
this management mean a great deal
to Battle Lake as this mine properly
managed has, and can be made tC
produce more high grade ore than al
the others combined. The new or
g~anization will also include some val
liable iron land near Rawlins.

Assembled Elk Mountain.

Quite Il number of Saratoga young
people made the ascent of Elk Noun
tain last Sunday and had a picnic on
the top Of that ancient land mark.
The party consisted of Fred Myers,
George Heron, Ed. Gould, Ray Van
Meter, frankie Handley, George
Snyder, Blanche Maxfield and Jes-
sic Collins. The view from the TOP
of that mountain is something quite
grand and as a wagon car be driven
nearly, or quite to the top, it bid,
fair to become a popular picnic

grand or inspiring than the view
from that peak. which stands l4,147

The railroad is, in itself, one of the

The annual meeting of the Wyo-
ming Press Association was held at
Cheyenne Wednesday and Thursday
of last week. President Slack pre-
sided and the program was 4 most
interesting me-. We shall not at
tempt to give the matters of the con
vep.ion in detail, but mention the
most interesting points.
On their arrival at Cheyenne We'd

met at the depot and escorted to their
quarters III the Inter Ocean. After
lunch carriages We're provided, II of
which belonged to Gov. Richards and
was driven by the Governor himself,
and the guests We're driven about the
city and out to Fort Russell, which
they all enjoyed very much.
At the meeting of the Association
in the evening, papers and short
speeches, on matters of Importance to
the press and the state generally,
were delivered by each member pres
ent. The feature of the evening was
an original poem by Judge Carroll.
entitled The Man Behind the PEN
Gil" The Judge recited the poem
from memory in a very dramatic man
ner and we are free to say that it was
in all respects a gem and one of the
best. if not the best. efforts the Judge
ever made, and deserves a high place
in the current literature of the time.
The next morning was devoted TO
seeing the sights of the CITY. The
force was divided up. part going
through the large machine shops of
the Union Pacific. while others went

Through the kindness of Clarence
L. Johnston and Frank Bond the Wis
itors were RECALLED for an hour with a
sterioptican exhibition Of views taken
by them in the performance of their
duties in gathering data for the irri-
CATION bureau, i'll whose service they
have been at work. We are 10th to
pass this admirable feature over, but
we console ourselves with the promise
that we will write a special article on
this subject.
The city wound up her many acts
of hospitality with a grand ball in the
l. o. o. F. hall, which was graced by
many of the prominent men and beau
tiful ladies of the state and city.
Col. Slack, who had been untiring
in his efforts, was ably seconded by
Col. Coutant, State Librarian and al
so by Mr.. Deming, the editor of the
Wyoming Tribune.
Friday morning the party left for
Denver, arriving there at 10:30 a. m,
where they were met 10y j. 5. Temple,
manager of the Western Newspaper
Union, and the managers of the Fes-
tival of Mountain AMI Plain, our bag
gage checked and the whole party
slowed into a Seeing Denver car
and taken out to the city park, where
a most elaborate luncheon had been
spread in the pavilion.
Speeches were the order of the day
after we had replenished the inner
man, President Slack, Mr.. Reynolds,
Herbert George, of Georges Weekly,
c. f. Fishback and NJ. G. Barrow all
responded to toasts in Il that
was both eloquent and witty.
Then followed a ride on the beauti-
full lake in a steam launch, which ride
was enlivened by songs and witty re-
parte throughout. \ stroll through
the most beautiful part OF the park
brought us up at our car, and for two
hours we were whirled over the city
and finally landed at the depot just
in time to take the train for Manitou
ON the famous Denver X Rio Grand.
Our arrival at Manitou was too late
for sight seeing, but after dinner at
the Mansions, Editor Barrow took us
all under his wing and to the Ute
Iron Spring, where we imbibed iron
water to an alarming extent. BY the
way, come to think of it, that was the
extent of our imbibing during the en-.
tire journey.
Pixies Peak was on every tongue
the next morning and so we entered
a special car at the foot Of that won
dcrful railroad and climbed to the
top of that famous mountain. I'll,

Senator ]. Bayard Henry has been
a disappointed man ever since the cleo
ton of Colonel NJ S. Quay to the Uni.
ted States senate Henry is disgruntled
because of his defeat in his home ward
and his home election precinct. in at
tempting to elect Republican delegates
to city and state conventions, and the
fact that he will be unable to control
single ward in his entire senatorial
district for election to the state senate.
He wants political revolution, for he
needs it pretty badly, so he has lined
himself up with the Rothermel boom
ers.
WANAMAKER FINANCIAL AGENT.
F. A. Van Valkenburg has been look
ed upon as the direct representative of
the Wanamaker political bureau. His
grievance probably is that there are
not two insurgent campaigns going at
the same time.
OF Frank A. Hartranft, a Democrat.
little can be said beyond that he was
once picked out to run on local
Democratic ticket when there was no
hope of his election. Since this i'm
portant episode in his career, his po-
litical bearings have not attracted
sufficient attntion to have him def
nitely placed by those who usually keep
in touch with men Of influence in pub
lie affairs. His grievance no doubt is
that he hau been allowed to remain
unnoticed for so long.
Former Representative Kendall. Of
Chester county, a pronounced Wana-
makerite, after serving a term in the
House of Representatives as an insur-
gent appealed to the voters of Chester
county to re-elect him. His grievance
is that when his candidacy was sub
mitted TO the people he was over
whelmingly beaten. He is now doing
his utmost to disrupt the Republican
party and advance the cause of Wana-
makerism in every way possible
Former Representative w. Rush Gil
Ian, OF Franklin county, a Democrat,
has figured as an upstate annex of the
Judge Gordon Democracy and has time
and again assailed the supporters OF
former Governor Pattison, in both
state and local politics. He has figured
as something Of a frebrand in Demo
cratic state politics and his grievance
has always been that he has not been
taken into the inner councils of the
Democratic state organization and the
Republicans have not needed his ad.
vice in the direction of their party
affairs.

cal News.
Philadelphia, July 3O.-Within the
last week there has been a sensational
move made by the politicians identified
with the Wanamaker bureau, which
has been maintained in this state for
several years with the purpose of ad-
vancing the political ambitions of this
wealthy and aspiring Philadelphian.
The independent movement started
in this city to bring about the election
of Wanamaker's private counsel to the
office of district attorney after he had
been defeated for denomination in the
Republican city convention. is regard
ed as the initial move to form an indie
pendent political organization in the
state to boom Wanamaker and his po-
litical interests.
In order, primarily, to get a complete
column on the official ballot to help
their Independent fight in this city the
Wanamaker lieutenants adopted the
name of the Union Party" and pre-
empted a column for a ticket for state
and city nominations
A committee has been appointed. Of
which Colonel A. X. Mcclure will be
the directing head, to organize the so
called Union Party" in the state, and
they expect to get the Wanamaker in
surgents and the insurgent Democrats
to combine in an organization against
the regular Republican party.
They hope to get the Democratic
state convention to help them along
but if this shall be impossible they will
organize on their own hook to further
their scheme in every way.
An analysis of the committee which
has charge Of the organization of the
Union party in the state will be inter
esting.
A STUDY IN QUEER POLITICS.
The makeup of this committee is a
study in personal politics, with every
man having a grievance and not one
of them of fixed standing in any politi
cal party
Chairman Mcclure has belonged tC
pretty nearly every party, excepting
the Prohibitionist. since he became OF
age. His present affiliations are not
well defined There has been difficulty
in placing him politically since his
brotber-in-law Simon Gratz. was not
placed in nomination to succeed him
self as one Of the Republican members
Of the board Of revision Of taxes. As
an intimate friend of District Attorney
Rothermel Tor years, Colonel Mcclure
has had another grievance since the
Republican convention, composed OF
over 1000 regularly elected Republi
can delegates by a unanimous vote
decided that Mr.. Rothermel had all he
was entitled TO with one term in the
district attorneys Office. They nOmi
