Arm Placed in Plaster Cast.

Hon. I. c.. Miller was taken from
this place to Rawlins last Saturday
in a carriage. He stood the journey
fairly well, considering his condition,
though he vas compelled to endure
much pain on account of the extreme
roughness of the roads. When he
arrived in Rawlins he was at once
taken in hands by DR.. osborne and
his arm and shoulder placed in a
plaster cast. A close examination re-
vealed the fact that the muscles of
the shoulder and arm had been torn
loose and this fact necessitated heroic
treatment to insure their being al
lowed to grow back in place again.

Miller will be able to attend to bust

plies-Trip Abandoned On Ae-
count Of Very Deep Snow.
Jack Johnston and L. W. Hackett
returned Monday evening from the
Slavery country after a Ruthless ef-
fort to get into the Syndicate mine
with supplies. Mr.. Johnston gives a
graphic account of their hardships:
"We started over with a six horse
load of provisions for the Syndicate
mine, but we're unable to get in for
the deep snow. On the divide in the
vicinity of Twin Groves, we encount-
cred a terrible northeast blizzard and
were unable to tell what direction we
were going. At nine that night we
made the Smiley cabin, on the Slavery
slope. II had neither door nor win.
dows, but it was better than the open
country. We had to stay there two
days On account of the storm. We
had to abandon u wagon and sup
plies about three miles beyond there
and make our way on to John Bohan's
cabin on the Slavery on snow shoes.
The only thing we had in the shape
OF bedding was a tent and all We had
to eat was -four and salt.
"Talk about there being a shortage
OF snow! Why there is more snow in
the mountains at this time than I
ever remember of seeing and it is
packed down hard, too. There will
be u o danger of q shortage of water.
The ranchmen need not be alarmed,
for they will have all the water they
want.
"On our return trip, we were COM
ing down the mountains, sailing along
on snow shoes at a terrific pace, when
1 ran into a limb Of a tree. It didn't
do a thing to me but just strip my
pants clean of my body. It is laugh
able now-but it was anything but
a laughing matter at that time, I can
tell you.
"We will have to abandon our at
tempt to get in with supplies now for
a time at least. This is the very mid
die of April, but that was the rough
est trip l ever experienced"
1t is reported that a large cave,
running parallel with the vein, was
opened up in that mine a few DAYS
ago. 1t has not yet been explored.
