Tough Experience With Pumps.

During the past week the Elec-
trio Light company has had a
tough experience with pumps and
the people of Saratoga has had an
opportunity to e what the town
looks like without electric lights
and they also know now what it
means to fall back to kerosene
lamps for lights. The pump in
the electric light works gave out
Friday and the pump brought in
to replace it was no better, so the
company sent to Denver and had
INT shipped out by express. 1t

position and Sunday night the
town was as bright as ever.

The Black Diamond q Cocker.

Bemis & Osterberg, William
McSparren and w. r. Housely
are interested in the development
of a coal mine north west of Sar.
atoga, % miles, near the McCoid
coal mine. The bank has Just
been opened this fall and is five
feet in thickness. The vein has
an incline of thirty degrees and
they r now in on the tunnel
over two hundred feet. The coal
is of a very good quality, though
still quite soft. One of the min
ers, "A Welchman, who has been at
work on the mine claims that it is
coking coal and will never get
very hard. Tests made of this
coal for coking purposes have
proven very successful and it is
the opinion of many that the
vein is coking coal, beyond any
reasonable doubt.

Important Council Meeting.

At the meeting of the city
council, which was held Monday
night, it was determined to call
an election for the purpose of vot-
ing the bonds of the city to erect
water works. The amount deter
mined on was $4,000. This may
be in excess of what the law will
permit us to vote at this time, but
if it is the amount can be reduced.
The election is to be held the 9th
day of next January and the call
for it will appear in next weeks
Sun.
1t will be understood that the
amount of bonds named above is
only provisional. If only $4,000
is needed, only that amount OF
bonds will be issued. If $4,000
is needed, then that amount will
be issued. The amount was plac-
ed high enough to avoid the nee,
cessity of having to call another
election to vote more bonds in
case of need. The move is a wise
one and right in line with what
The Sun has counselled all the
time.

Kassahn's Body Not Disturbed.

Messrs. j. F. Stanley and Gus.
Kassahn, who went up to the Lost
Cabin country last week for the
purpose Of examining the body
of Fred Kassahn aud bringing il
to Casper for shipment to Lara
mic, returned to town Saturday
evening without the body, be-
cause of the fact that there is con.
siderable snow in the country
where the body is buried and it is
very likely that the grave could
not be- found even if they had
walked directly over it. The
snow is about eighteen inches deer
in some places and is drifted
quite heavily in the gulches. The
men went within about eight
miles of the grave, but npon see
ing the condition of the country
were convinced that it would be
useless to 20 any further, and re.
turned home after a four days
hard rip.-Casper Tribune.

Found a Skeleton.

While workmen were digging a
sewer trench back of the Hawks
d Allen barber shop last Friday
they dug up the skull and bones
of a child which was about II
years old at the time of death.
The barrel of a revolver which
WAS badly rusted was found with
the bones, as well as some beads,
buttons, etc. On account of the
beads in the grave it is supposed
the child was a girl. The skull
and revolver barrel are now at
Kimball's drug store. People
who have lived there for many
years cannot remember of any one
ever being buried at this place
and ii is supposed a murder had
been committed and the body of
the child buried under the floor
of a restaurant, which stood on
the lot before the brick building
was erected. The restaurant, or
chop house, was conducted by a
man named Harry Sallander, who
went 10 Glenrock from this place,

One of the most remarkable in
stances of the power possessed by
horses to follow a trail over which
they have gone probably eve re-
ported is given out by N. r. Da.
Wis.
Over a year ago he sold two
horses to the Powder River Cat
tie company and the horses were
shipped out of Cheyenne by night
to Rock Creek, a station on the
Union Pacific ninety miles west
of here. From there they were
driven overland in a buggy to the
ranch on the Powder river in
Johnson county, a distance from
Cheyenne of over 800 miles.
The horses were shut up in q
pasture during the winter and
worked during the summer. This
fall. in some they got
away and two weeks later showed
up at the ranch of Mr.. Davis
south of Cheyenne. The two
horses made this trip together,
and their feat is a remarkable one
when it is considered that they
were taken out of Cheyenne over
ninety-six miles Of railroad and
crossed several steems, including
the Platte river. The horses were
attached to another wagon and a
man employed to drive them back
to the Powder river ranch.-Chey-
enne Tribune.

Mr.. Roses Thanksgiving Turkey.

"A bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush" This old saying
proved true in the case of John
son Roses Thanksgiving Turkey
He had purchased a fine roast for
dinner, but went owe to the tur-
key shoot, and after spending SIG
succeeded in getting a fine big
gobler, which he brought over
town and placed in the back
room of his place of business. He
telephoned up home TO his wife
not to cook the roast, but to feed
it to his pet dog, as he had a fine
turkey which he would send up.
His wife accordingly gave the
roast to the dog for its Thanks
giving meal but when Mr.. Rose
went to get his fine gobler some
one had already gobbled it, SO he
had neither roast nor turkey for
dinner. Mr., Rose says the man
that got the turkey should not
only be thankful for it but also
that he is alive for he has his gun
loaded and blood in his eye and
intends to shoot at the first oppor-
tunity.

The head-end collision near the
Wahsatch tunnel on the U. P. Road
Thursday night, between an east

FOREST RESERVES.
Impossible to Estimate the Damages by
Forest Fires-Forest Reserves the On
ly Hope for Forest Preservation.

1t is impossible to estimate with
exactness the damage wrought by
the forest fires that have been ra-
ging in Wyoming, Washington,
Oregon and Colorado already this
fall. Not until the burned terri
tory has been thoroughly gone
over con any authoritative estimate
be made. 1t is probable that the
severity of the forest fires in the
west this year will result in secur-
ing better protection through leg
islation, and also an extension of
the national forest reserve sys-
TEN.
The greatest factor in the safe
ty of the forest reserve is the
stringent set of rules in force, act
ing as a preventative. AS soon as
a person enters a government for
est reserve he finds signs staring
him in the face and informing
him that he must not kindle an
open fire in the reserve. Every
camper is required to have a
stove of some sort. AS folding
sheet-iron stoves can be secured
at a small expense, this is not a
hardship, as many imagine.
Sometimes this law is broken in
ridiculously costly fashion, as a
recent instance in the White Riv-
er forest reserve, in Colorado,
proved. A party of clergymen
were hunting and fishing in the
reserve, near the place where
President Roosevelt hunted noun
tain lions. They had a folding
camp stove, and intended to COM
ply with the law, but after using
the stove they deliberately dump
the hot Goals on the ground and
left them. The fire soon spread
to the dry timber, and many acres
were burned before the rangers
got the flames under control.
Scientists claim that one of the
largest fires in Colorado this fall
was started by a meteor. The
fall of one of these heavenly bod
les was noticed in Platte canon,
not many miles from Denver.
Soon afterward a forest FIRE broke
Out, consuming many acres of tim
Der before il could be controlled
There were no campers in the vi
cinity, and it was regarded as IT
tain that the meteor started the
confiagation.
The government reserves are in
every sense a national institution
This was shown recently in Colo
RADIO when a wealthy corporation
lawyer of New York, who was
hunting in the White River for
est reserve, accidentally started a
fire. He was compelled to fight
the fire for several days and nights
and when finally he and his party
reached civilization they were so
exhausted they could hardly
stand. Neither wealth nor inau-
ence stood the lawyer in good
stead, and in all probabilities he
will have to answer to the govern
ment authorities for the destruc-
ton of nearly 500 acres of tim
ber.-New York Tribune.

New York leads the list of States in
the use of water power. having 1858, 45f
horse power derived from this source in
1900. against 233.795 in 1890, an increase
of 134,661 horse power, or SIC per cent.
directly traceable to the great expansion
of the wood pulp industry in that State.
Pennsylvania led in the use of steam
in her manufactures, with 1.611 ,S15
horse power, as compared with 900,S62
in 1890, gain OF 710,953 horse power,
or 1873 per cent, while Ohio was second.
with 75S,74s horse rower, and New Yort
third. with 677.219.
The decade between 1890 and 1900 was
a period of marked development in the
use of gas engines, the aggregate horse
power from this source having grown
from $3.50 in 1890 to 143.S50 in 1900.
The most notable phase of the appli-
cation OF power to industrial uses has,
however, been in the use of the electric
current for the transmission of and Sob
division Of power. No statistics that
would indicate growth are available for
New York State, but In New York city

ed for 1901 total of 50,634 horse power

ing the motor capacity in 1900 1901 more
than thirty times as great as in 1890,
considering only the figures of one COM

A corresponding increase is observable
in most of the other large cities in the
Union.
