BUYS WYOMING MINES
Syndicate Believed to Be Headed
BY Senator Kearns Makes
Purchase.
tSpeciai to The Herald.0


Cheyenne. Wyo., Dec. "a deal was
closed here yesterday whereby the
Osceola copper properties in the Battle
Lake district pass into the hands of
syndicate believed to be headed by
Senator Thomas Kearns- of Utah. The
price paid was $4,000, $50. OO0 being
paid yesterday, $50, 600 to be paid on
Feb. 1. $4,000 on April l aud the bal
ance on July 1. It was also stipulated
in the deal that the new owners should
do at least 500, 600 worth of develop
ment work on the property during the
next two years.
The Osceola mine and six other
claims join the Ferris Haggarty cop
per mine on the south. Considerable
development work has already been
done on the OseeOia and the extension
of the rich vein in the Ferris Haggarty
has been opened up in the Osceola.
Several shipments of high grade cop
per ore have already been made.
The OSceola company was composed
of Governor DeForest Richards, Sec
rotary OF State +. ChattertOn, Pitt
Covert. all of Cheyenne; J. NJ. Rum
sey, George W. Perry and others, Of
Rawlins.
The deal was engineered by Willis
George Hampton, author of Buell.
Hampton"
Definite information regarding the
identity of the purchasers of the Osce-
ola mine cannot be had. Some say
the North American Copper company
was the purchaser, other reports say
the Standard Oil company is the new
owner, but in view of the fact that
it was known that Thomas Kearns and
his associates in Salt Lake have been
negotiating for the Oseeola for some
time. IL is believed they secured the
copper bonanza.
In RaWlins yesterday the Copper
Belt Copper Mining company gave
Judge Charles f. Fishback an option
on the company's copper properties at
Battle Lake for sea, 600. ,rhe property
consists of twelve claims, being the
western extension of the Ferris Hag-
garty and Osceola claims. Ore run
ming as high as SO per cent copper and
some gold to the ton has been taken
from the mines of the Copper Belt.
Mr.. Fishbacks associates in the deal
are not known but it is believed they
are all Utah men. When Mr.. Fish
back was campaigning in Utah last
fall he succeeded in interesting a num-
Der of the wealthy men of that state
in the mines of southern Carbon coun-
ty, and the several big deals recently
consummated are believed to be the
result of his work in Utah.
The Southern Wyoming aerial tram
way passes by the Osceola and Copper
Belt mines, thus furnishing transpor-
tation for the ores to the Encampment
smeIter.

ITO be honest to be kind" This first
precept Of Stevenson's fair creed might be
called its foundation. And a very firm base
II is upon which to build any sort of struc-
ture, whether ii be of bricks and cement
or brain and soul. For honesty is an inter-
changeable part of all we do and say, and
kindness is the universal carrier of cool

tc be kind Godlike.
To let your aspirations and your ambi-
lions be nodded and guided and governed
by high ideals and decent ideas that your
judgment may be that of reason and right
Then. when you find path and can see
your way clearly keep TO it. The voices
and the hands of many men may be against
you, but If you are honest to what is within
you-the best of tia Voice unheard to
some will whisper you courage and a
Hand unseen to many will help you on. 1t

mark; to view the same goal at the farther
end of the long road. That same infinite
and endless variation Of position and shad-
ow which a material object presents 10 the
ton of mental and spiritual objects to the
eye of the mind or the soul Hence the fact
that few can see as you see is not in itself
proof of the incorrectness or dimness Of
your vision. The real proof lies in your
acts and conduct. Nothing stamps itself
than honesty. 1t lends a certain CLEAN to
the eye which cannot be otherwise OBJ
tanned or successfully counterfeted.
Honesty Is truth TO little things. II IS
not always hard; indeed, il is often easier
than any other course because il K safer
to be straight in matters of large moment.
