Florence to be Worked Again.

The Florence mine, the rich old
mine opened in 1876 and from which
a large amount of gold was taken, is
t. be worked again, and a man will Re
here shortly to begin the work. The
mine is now owned by the Florence
Mining and Milling company. of which
C H. Marsh of Pueblo is secretaIJ :,
and NJ. N. Grant, who has been acting
fer the company in a transfer. this
morning received 5 $1,000 in money,
some deeds and a certificate of 10000
shares in the company, which will go
to L. 2. Farwell of Chicago, in clear
ing up the title of the property.
The Florence is located about 1000
feet from the Keystone, and the lead

mine. The vein is from one to eigh-
teen inches wide and carries gold run.

Mr. Marsh has had the shaft pumped

of the mine will be begun and pushed

the mine become again a paying prop

The executive committee of the Uni
versity Of Wyoming held a meeting
this morning, at the Office Of President
Gramm, and unanimously elected Prof.
James Farley McClelland to the chair
of instructor of mining engineering, to
succeed Prof. Elmer Derr, who tender
ed his resignation to accept a position
in the University of Pennsylvania, and
who will leave for Philadelphia tomor
row.
Prof. McClelland last year held the
position of assistant in geology and
mining, hut resigned at the end Of the
last school year to engage in active
mining in California. He went to Gro
vile, where he has been engaged since
in dredging a large stream for gold.
When it was reported that Prof. Derr
would resign, Prof. T. F.. McClelland
was correspondent with, with the result
that the secretary of the board, DR.;
Grace Hebard, today received a tele-
gram from him saying that heNwpuid
accept and could reach the city on or;
before the first of March. Upon this
che board without further ado, through
its executive committee, elected Mr..
McClelland and so telegraphed him.
The return of this able young in
structor and very popular gentleman
will be hailed with delight not alone by
the faculty and students at the univer-
sity who worked with and under him,
but by the people generally, who found
him a gentleman, a good citizen and
II interested in the development of
the mining interests of this section.
His return will revivify the department
of mining engineering to a degree COM
mensurate with the Importance of that
branch of the work of the geological
department.
Prof. McClelland is a graduate of
Columbia university, New York, TAX
ing the degree f. M. He was elected
to the faculty of the University of Wyo-
ming in 1900. Until he can return
from California and assume his duties
the work of that department will be
under the direction Of Prof. Knight.
The Republican takes great delight
in welcoming him again to the faculty
and the city, and trusts that his days
may be long among us.

local mining men.
H. II. Whitman Of the Michigan
mine was a caller at this Office this af,
ternoon.
Tom Cooley returned to the Mich.
gan mine with a lot OF supplies today.
He says his reputation as a miner will
suffer II the rich ore body in that mine
is not soon reached, as all the indica-
tons trend in that direction.
J. A. Donielson. of the Mon.
arch Coal Company. who went to the
Monarch mines early in the week. will
not return for several days. He is
Thoroughly imbued with the richness of
the field and will make an investigation
before he returns to his home at Kan
sas City. 1t is believed that when Mr..
Donielson returns he will have decided
that a road is to be built to the mine
in the spring and will award the con-
tract for work and material.

years ago the controlling interests in
this company passed into the hands OF
Laramie men, who have since devel-
oped the enterprise and extended the
trade in its product owe the entire
country from the Missouri river to the
Pacific coast.
The material and product of the Lar
annie mill are Of the purest and finest
quality and are everywhere received
with the utmost favor, having replac-
ed the eastern product in a number of
competitive markets. The use of the
product is not restricted to large build
ings, but has become very general in
the construction of dwellings, in re-
pair work and for ranch use. In addi-
ton to it's wearing qualities, it being
many times harder than lime plaster
and impervious to mice, insects and
yermin, the facility and economy in
handling especially adapts 1t to use on
small work on ranches and in many
other places where skilled workmen
cannot be had. In very many places
it is cheaper than lime. This feature,
when considered in connection with its
wearing qualities, the cement being
practically indestructible, has been
the means Of introducing the material
and making its way In new markets
with astonishing Quickness and facili.
ty.
The works have been run well up to
the present capacity for the past two
wears. the product going out at the rate
of several hundred cars a year, and
