Some of our exchanges note the
fact that plantations i'll their neigh
boorhoods are tenantless on account
of the exodus of negroes to the
valley. Those land owners should
arrange at once for supply of
moving machines, rakes and hay
presses, and can count on making
more money out of their grass than
they did out of their cotton, if they
will do little spring narrowing SO
as to flush tie land and level it for
the mowers. Aberdeen Examiner.

Admiral Schley will not permit
himself to be led into the political
arena by few boomers" who are
advocating him for the next Presi-
Dental candidate. Admiral Schley
is the idol of the people of the Uni
ted States, but he will profit by the
experience of other naval heroes
who have been allured into politics,
and then met defeat. He is salts
fed to wear the honors of a naval
hero.

Wasn't Hunting Crazy Men.

Bob Wheeler tells a good story
on him self aud enjoys it as much
as any one. 1t was when he was
employed on Judge Knights ranch
near Evanston, several years ago.
Some one from the Asylum came
to where the men were at work
and reported that a crazy man had
gotten away from the Asylum and
offered SIS for his recovery, say
ing hat the man was perfectly
harmless. Bob thought it was Il
snap and so started out to make
the capture A mile or so down
the track he looked under "A cul-
vert and there lay a vicious look
ing rooster with IA six shooter half
as long as your arm in II hand.
Are you looking for me?" he
inquired of Bob in IA menacing
manner.
"Oh. no. said Bob. mo sir. |
was not looking for you at all
Say the lunitic demanded,
do you think I'm crazy
oh, no." Bob made haste to
reply. You're not crazy at all.
If there is any body crazy around
here it's me-" and Bob said he
made all haste to get back to his
job on the ranch, perfectly sn.is-
fed hat he had had all the hunt
ing for crazy men that he cared
about.

ELK MOUNTAIN AGAIN.
The Copper Mines Of That Region Again
Coming to the Front Good ore in the
Elk Mountain and Also in the William
Penn Group.

Attorney $. +. Phelps, of En-
campment and n Mr.. Thomas. AN.
experienced miner. stopped in
Saratoga a short time Friday. on
their way back from a visit to the
copper mines of Elk Mountain in
which Mr.. Phelps and other Grand
Encampment men, as well as some
Saratoga people, are interested.
They brought with them some
very good looking specimens of
rock taken from n new find, which
runs through both the properties
of the Elk Mountain mining COM
pany and also that of the William
Penn Mining Company, which
latter is a late organization.
The rock exhibited at this office
was taken from a depth of 36 feet
from the surface. 1t is almost
identical with the surface rock
taken from the e, Iaggarty
lead when that N discov-
cred. The ledge Is. al present.
three feet in width ana gradually
widening as depth Is gained.
The Elk mine is also looking
well The old shaft is down 80
feet and is in the finest kind of
ore. Last fall a working shaft
was sunk to the depth of 9S feet
and it is expected that when it is
down $50 or 200 feet, that it will
cut the vein. At that depth it is
expected that the vein will have
become permanent and the ore
will be in place.

Homestead Contest.

The contest of Samuel Morgan
VS. Mary Z. Lebow. involving the
homestead entry of the latter for
land in Jack creek canon. came off
before L. = Commissioner. j. f.
Crawford here Tuesday. The fin
al hearing will be held before the
Register and Receiver. at the
Cheyenne land office ON June
llth.
Miss Lebow made n homestead
entry on the land last November.
Not being familiar with land she
was not sufficiently posted to
know the real character of the
land she was entering. 1t trans
pres now that there has been
coal groupings discovered on the
land and ON the land adjoining,
some of which. on both sides of
her claim. has been entered under
the coal act.
If the homestead is cancelled,
and there does not seem to be
much doubt but what il will be. it
is quite likely that Miss Lebow's
homestead right will be restored
to her and she will be allowed to
make an entry somewhere else.

BATTLE LAKE ITEMS.


We hope to be permitted, in our
next issue. To report what now
seems to he the most important
strike of the season. The lucky
owners. however, have easohs for
not making it public at present,
but assay returns stamp it ms IA
bonanza.
1t is announced in eastern cir
cles that the Calumet and Hecla
company of Michigan will not
sell any copper below IA cents n
pound. That copper is worth this
price is n fact, undeniable. There
is a good demand for copper wire
and the demand is increasing, but
up to this time manufacturers
have been working ON copper Sc
cured last December. Nearly all
of this supply has been consumed
and they must soon be buyers
again.
To those citizens who did not
know the cause of the excitement
this week we will say that the ex-
citement was only II lynching.
We felt sorry for the man ms he
was q stranger and unaccustomed
to our ways, however, the provo

Last Friday, while visiting the
home of her uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. j. NJ. Trapp, on North
Fork of Spring creek, Miss Della

Della and her cousin. Estella
Trapp, went out into the field to
catch the horses. They took only

them, climbed onto them bareback

threw her off, throwing her lief,

CARNEGIE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

One of the most beautiful. as well as substantial public buildings
in the state, is that of the Carnegie Public Library in CHEYENNE. a
cut of which is given above. From an address made by Robert c.
Morris of Cheyenne. to whom belongs the credit of securing the de-
nation from Mr. Carnegie, delivered before the CHEYENNE High School
F, bruary >, 1902 we take the following description of the library
building.
building, which is divided into two stories and a basement, each of
the three floors forming a separate department. The first or main floor
is entirely devoted to library purposes, ha,tng "A large reading room
for grown people at the north end a similar room for children at the
south, and the hall. reception room and delivery room between. In
the rear of the delivery room is a large stack room for books and a
private office for the Librarian and for cataloguing the books. The
third floor is dividel into four apartments, IN art gallery being in the
center, and a large assembly room at each end of the building, suit
able for holding meetings of the various societies of n charitable, edu-
cational or literary character, such IS e and womenis clubs, Hos
phal Aid Society, Daughters of the Revolution, and similar organiza.

Committed Suicide.

a sheep herder, in Inc employ
of the Osborne Sheep Company
committed suicide last Thursday
at the p. l.. Smith ranch. Gu the
the Muddy, about % miles west Of
this place. Coroner Bennett was
called ont from Rawlins to inves-
tigate the matter. 1t seems the
young man, whose home is in
Spring Vale. Utah, committed the
deed after making all preparations
for it. He borrowed a pencil,
went into the clubhouse and wrote
n letter, in which he gave direc-
tions about the disposition of 500
which he had and a watch,
which was in pawn for Sc in
CHEYENNE, after which he placed
the pistol to his left breast and
sent a bullet through his heart.
No cause is known for the deed.
Coroner Bennett did not hold an
inquest, as it WAS a clear case of
suicide. The body was sent to
Rawlins and turned over to under
takea Rasmussen, and it will be
sent to his home in Utah for in
terment.
