MENT WORKS.
Cheyenne Leaders Comment on the
Purchase of the Plant by the Acme
Company Of St. Louis-inexhaust-
IDLE Beds of Superior Quality Of
Cement-PIant to be Greatly En-
Iarged.

Samuel A. Walker. vice president
and general manager of the Acme Ce'
ment company of st. Louis, purchased
on Thursday the controlling interest
in the capital stock Of the Standard
Cement Plaster company at Laramie,
says the Cheyenne Leader. We under
stand that Mr.. Walker now owns IS
per cen OF the Laramie plant. and that
it is to be merged into the Acme com,
pany, which operates large mills in
Texas and Indian Territory, supplying
20 per cent of the plaster used in the
United States.
The plant at Laramie will at once
be enlarged and many improvements
introduced in the way of machinery,
etc. and it is intended to I'll the mill
day and night, supplying the Pacific
coast on the west and Nebraska. Kan,
sas and Iowa on the east.
This will be of great advantage to
Laramie as a largely increased mum
Der of men are to be employed. The
plaster beds which owe hundreds of
acres are ~inexhaustible. and superior
in quality to any found in the west
|, is worth $3.50 a ton at Laramie and
the rates given by the railroad com
pany will enable them to compete both
in the east and west. Mr.. Walker has
invested $4,000 in the plaster mill
at Laramie, having bought out the en-
tire interest Of the owners. w. H. HOl'

WILL BE PAID TO THE AGED
MOTHER OF YOUNG IRA
GoFFNET.
It Is Found That the Deceased Was
Not in Arrears in His Camp of
Woodmen Of the World and That
the Policy Is Good for Amount Of
Insurance.

When Ira Goffnet was found dead in
his room here on the morning of Jan
uary 10. it was believed that his policy
of insurance in the Woodmen of the
World had lapsed and that his mother,
the beneficiary in the policy, would re-
ceive nothing. The clerk of the camp
at Sheffield, Pa, where Mr.. Gofnet
belonged. telegraphed to the clerk of
the camp here that the young man had
paid an assessment numbered several
behind the current assessments here,
and the inference was drawn that. the
assessments being numbered the same,
Goffnet was in arrears. Today. how
ever, local members of the order were
informed that the deceased had paid
the current assessment in that iuris-
diction at the time of his death and
was entitled to be classed as in good
standing.
F. w. OFT. who has the matter in
charge here, was today furnished with
copies of The Republican containing
an account of the young mans death
and burial in an effort to establish
proof of death, and he will be able to
see that the aged mother, who lives
in Illinois and who had not money
enough to have the body of her son
taken home for burial. will receive the
$1,000. the amount of the policy held
by her son and made payable to her.
Mr.. Goffnet belonged to Hemlock
Camp No. CT. Sheffield. Pa. and was in
good standing at the time of his death.

WATER
DRIVES MINERS FROM ABANDON
JUST AS VERY WIDE VEIN
OF GOLD IS STRUCK.
Lead 10 Six Feet Wide and Carries
Free Gold Visible Six Feet Away
Machinery to be Added and the
Property Worked-One of Four
Claims in Rich District.

DR.. C. C.. Clark, one of the owners
Of the Abandon mine. in the Jelm
mountain district, is in the city, and
g more pleased looking mining mar
is not to be found in this section Of the
state. The doctor is greatly elated at
the word sent in by his mine foreman.
Joe J.. Warren, who says that when the
miners quit work a day or two ago
they had entered a vein OF very rich
gold rock, six feet wide, and carrying
free gold in large quantities-so large.
in fact, that a man standing six feet
away can see the gold. No assay has
been made of the rock to determine
the amount of gold therein, but the
prospect is SO good looking to DR..
Clark and the other members of the
Gold Hill Mining and Milling company
that they have ordered a big shipment
of machinery from Denver. which is
expected here not later than the first
of March, and as soon as it arrives it
will be taken to the Abandon and ill.,
stalled.
The Abandon is n of four claims
owned by the Gold Hill company, all
located in the same neighborhood, on
the opposite side Of Jelm mountain
from here, and in the neighborhood Of
some OF the rich claims owned by Louis
Miller and Judge Bramel. 1t was
worked some years ago and abandon
ed, hence the name Abandon. but the
abandonment is only in the name. Dr..
Clark says. as the present richness
long enough to have the machinery in
stalled.
The shaft of the Abandon is now
down to a depth of Is feet, and the in
rush OF water has been so great that
the work had to be stopped until a
pump can be bought and installed,
when the mine will be worked and no
less than nine men employed regular
ly.
The company has just completed q
lew shaft house thirty by sixty feet,
boarding shacks have beer erected
and the camp has taken on the appear
ance Of a hive Of industry, equal to any
in that section.
The new outfit includes hosting Ina
chinery, drills and steam plant and
when II arrives and Ia taken ont will
make the Abandon a working PROPOSE
ton second to none in the district.
A little while ago a thin streak Of
ore.bearing rock was sIruck showing
marvellous richness, and while the
main ore vein Is not nearly so rich as
the other. it is six feet wide. thus max
ing the success of the mine an assured
fact.
