OFFERED FOR THREE SHARES OF
STOCK IN THE RAMBLER
COMPANY.
Graphic Story of the Finding of the
Wonderful Vein of Copper Now
Astonishing the Mining World
Stroke of a Talented Young Lar
annie Assayer Just from School.

The Laramie correspondent of the
Denver Republican sends his paper
the following under date of Thurs,
day:
The phenomenal richness of ore
from the New Rambler copper mine in
the Douglas creek district and the big
profits accruing to the company from
its operation have caused stock in
the concern to advance steadily in
price. A little over a year ago the
stock reached its par value of 5000
per share. About nine months ago
three shares sold for 500 and the
transaction created a stir in local min.
ing circles.
Since that time there have been a
few transfers of Rambler stock made.
but in each case the owner was reluct'
ant to sell II only disposed of a por,
ton of his holdings at a fancy price,
A few days ago a local capitalist
offered $1,4OO per share for a small
block of the stock but was refused,
and now $4,000 has been offered for
the three shares hat sold a year ago
for 800.
Figuring the 1000 shares of the com.
pany on the basis of the recent offer
and its property is worth over 5 $1,000,
600.
Charles Kuster, the discoveTor of the
rich vein of copper in the New Ram
bier. and who owns 46 shares of sock,
left yesterday for Denver, where he
will purchase machinery with which
entity of the New Rambler. Mr.,
Kuster has plenty of money. for his
share in the profits of the New Ram
bier company are sufficient to permit
him to carry on operations on his new
property on a large scale, and as the
indications are even more favorable
than those in the Rambler, it is eX'
pectcd that he will soon have another
bonanza and all to himself.
Mr.. Kuster was asked recently to
give the history of his connection with
the New Rambler, which is now one
of thu richest copper propositions in
the vest. He said hat the Rambler
had been located and worked a nun
Der of times for gold and silver. the
first location having been made away
hocI, IN 1875 Several nprSonS and
COMPANIES had owned the property al
different times and the shaft had been
sunk TO a depth of about 40 feet. Three
or four years ago an eastern expert
visited the property and said that it
was not worth a grub stake and that
II would never mount to anything
as a copper mine, rs the formation
was unfavorable. So the mine was
abandoned.
Mr.. Kuster is an expert assayer
, 1901-10-05

having graduated from a leading
school in Chicago. He established an
office in Laramie where his father has
for many years conducted the kuster
hotel, and it was not long until he
discovered a process whereby he could
treat ore much cheaper than by meth
DDS then in use. Desiring to secure
samples of various kinds of ore. he
went to the old abandoned shaft of
the Rambler and while sacking pieces
of rock at the bottom of the shaft he
made the discovery that the hole had
cut a vein of copper ore, the vein be
ing in plain view on either side of the
shaft. Securing samples from the
vein. he assayed them and was surpris-
ed to find that the discovery "A a
rich one, the ore running in excess of
80 per cent copper.
Keeping his discovery to himself.
Young Kuster borrowed $1,000 and set
at work to develop the mine. People
here thought the young man had gone
crazy, for no one for a moment doubted
the expert opinion of the easterner
who had said the county contained no
copper. Kuster's 81 900 was soon
spent, and in order to secure aid he
made his discovery known to A. T.
Holmes and a few others. Operations
were continued and it was not long
until the mine began to ship, the own
ers receiving upwards of 81 900 profit
per carload.
The Boston-Wyoming smelter at
Grand Encampment has contracted for
the entire output of the mine for one
year, and recently gave the Rambler
company a check for 500 900 for ore
now being delivered
The phenomenal success of the
Rambler company caused a rush to
the district, and a number of rich dis
covcriCs have been made. Several
properties are now shipping, and it is
safe TO say that inside of another
year the Douglas creek district will
number at least ten shipping mines.

DENIED
THAT THE LARAMIE PLAINS
ROUTE HAS BURLINGTON
CONNECTION.
Nice Story From Cheyenne That Brings
Smiles to the Faces of the Local
Officers Of Laramie, Hahn's Peak
and Pacific Line-Latter Absolute
Iy Independent Undertaking.

The following, from the Cheyenne
Tribune of this morning. was shown to
the local officials of the Laramie,
Hahn's Peak and Pacific. and they all
denied that the two lines had any con
nection whatever.
1T matters not whether the propos-
ed connection would be good or i'll for
line" said II of them, there is
absolutely no truth in the report. The
Laramie plains route is entirely indie
pendent of any other road or system of
roads, with no connection now or in the
future, as far as we know at present"
The clipping created a smile on the
faces of such officers as were seen. 1t
is as follows:
The question of whether the Lara
ME. Hahn's Peak and Pacific railway
is an Independent road. or is being
been p]ropounded several times within
the past few months, is apparently
answered by the article concerning
the B~urlington's extension from Guern-
sey to Salt Lake published in yester-
days issue of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press.
The Pioneer-Press article says that
the route of the Guernsey extension
will be southwest through Laramie,
thence into northwestern Colorado and
west to Salt Lake. This is precisely
the route of the Laramie. Hahn's Peak
and Pacific, as far as its present an
nOunced terminus. The line of the
route leaves Laramie in a southwest
ern direction and cuts into northwest
ern Colorado in the vicinity of Hahn's
peak. The Laramie. Hahn's Peak and
Pacific surveyors spent a year in the
field demonstrating the feasibility of
a route from Laramie through the
territory named, and practically prov
ed that there was but one route posi-
BILE. This has been covered by the
Laramie. Hams Peak and Pacific's
T~ight-of-way filings. The Pioneer
Press article states hat the extension
of the B~urlington's Lyons, Colo,
branch would run into the Guernsey
extension at a point north of North
park and just within the Wyoming
line. Such an extension of the Lyons
branch would cut the line of the Lar
annie, Hahn's Peak and Pacific precise.
ly at the point named.
When TIE Van Horn-Miller syndi-
cate first announced that the Laramie,
Hahn's Peak and Pa "ific would be built
the announcement wa. also made that
the road would be constructed on mar
row gauge. Within the pas. three
months the plans of the company we're
changed and the announcement has
been made that the road will be con-,
structed on standard gauge. The
grade now being constructed out of
Laramie is for a standard gauge track. |
When the rumor that the Laramie. \
Hahn's Peak and Pacific was a a Bur-
lington project was first circulated the
officials of the Van Horn-Miller com
pany did not either deny or confirm it.

full regarding the corn crop of the

the scare reports as premature and
exaggerated. He finds himself able,
in spite of them. to take hopeful
view of the prospects. The first of the

Sheriff Pearson's Misfortune.

went before the Legislature last
winter and showed the members the
Massachusetts, law which states that
liquor to be intoxicating must contain
only per cent. of the volume of al
CohOI / asked that the same thing
should be done in this State. When
the decision of the question came up l
received ~ votes on the first day and
there were 81 votes against me. That
was on Friday and as soon as the vote
had been announced man who was
interested in the beer business in Port
land was telegraphed to and on Mon
day about $4,000 was sent to the Legis-
lature and the vote was exactly re-
versed, l getting 81 votes. That is the
Legislature that you elected.-Sheriff
Pearson in a Portland address.
Perhaps Sheriff Pearson has been
misqucted-this is frequently the fate
of great men-but as several reliable
newspapers represent him as making
substantial the above talk. we are COM
PEELED to believe that the good man
mas performed another of his grand
stopping over acts. 1t is very IN
fortunate for Sheriff Pearson who is
in most respects an cstimable gentle
man. trying hard to do his duty. that
ne is unable to control his language
when he talks. Not only has he talked
far too much since he was elected, but
when he gets to talking he forgets
many things. especially facts, which it
would be well to remember. He was
in this fOrgetful mood when he
charged 80 or 40 members of the 10Th
Legislature with being influenced by
the use Of money to vote against his 8
per cent. bill. OF course. such a
seriously. Mr.. Pearson has no proof
of it and doesn't believe it himself
The 10th Legislature needs no defense:
it made a splendid record. and more
earnest, upright body of lawmakers
never assembled. It would be as sensi-
be to charge the Legislature with be-
ing bought up to vote against resub-
mission. as to claim that enough votes
were bribed to kill the 3 per cent bill.
Those who watched legislation will re-
call that the per cent. bill was most
:calously supported by the friends of
IcSubmission and opposed by the pro-
hibition leaders. The resubmissionists
hoped that the passage of such a law
would make prohibition more ridicu-
lous, and such would surely have been
the effect for an eminent Maine chem
list had declared that beer which has
less than ; per cent. of alcohol ma
drown a man but can intoxicate him
1t is pity that Mr.. Pearson's friends
cannot keep him quiet. For man in
his position to make such foolish talk
is unfortunate for the cause of pro,
hibition and temperance.
