that would lead you to believe he

The Sun has inside information
that the $50, 100000 combine that
CONTROLS the Encampment Smelt-
er and Tramway, have secured a
30 day option on the Ferris ag-
garty copper mine, and the option
will be taken up. The name of

Among the improvements which
will be inaugurated by this com
pany will be an immense electric
light and power plant, to be 10.
Gated on the North Fork of the
Encampment river. where will be
also located large lumber mills to
utilize the immense forests of pine
timber on the head of that stream =.
The power plant will furnish
light and II the works of the

the entire valley.
The officers of the company
will meet the L. p. officials in New

when arrangements will be made
whereby either this company or

and Mr.. Bryne expressed it as
his opinion that they would reach
the lead at about 135 feet. A
stringer, 2 inches wide, contain
ing copper sulphide and oxodized
iron came in at the beginning of
the last six feet and at the end it
had widened out to two feet. On
each side of the stringer is a tale

Mr.. Bryne says the outlook
for the Dewey are excellent, and
that he thinks the showing on
that prospect is far better than a
great many propositions in the
Encampment country en- which
many thousands of dollars have
been expended.
In talking over the mining
methods of the country Mr.,
Bryne expressed the opinion that
nothing could he done without
depth, and that the quicker the
gophering around in the surface
of the ground was dispensed with
the quicker the country would be
developed. The trouble with
most of the miners, Mr.. Bryne
says is they expect to strike a Fer

Ran Away With Rake.

Last Saturday evening, about
$50, the team of horses with
which Don Van Meter, son of j.
A. Van Meter, had been raking
bay on the ranch of w. b. Hugus,
Northwest of town, became
frightened at something and start
ed to run away. MIR. Kendall, fore
man for Mr.. Hugus, was standing
near and made an attempt to catch
and stop the horses, and in so do
ing was knocked down and ran
over by the team, rendering him
unconscious for a time and bruis-
ing and scratching him up in a
painful manner. Don was shak-
en- from the seat onto the rake
lever which controls the self dump
part of the rake and his clothes
caught, holding him fast. In try
ing to avoid Mr.. Kendall, the
team, which was making for the
gate leading to the barn, pulled a
little to one side, and one of the
rake wheels caught on the side of
the gate, breaking the doubletrees,
thus freeing the horses.
The services of a doctor were
secured as quickly as possible, by
Glenn Scott, who is employed on
the ranch, and outside of a severe
bruising and shaking up neither
party is suffering very much from
the experience. The team is said
to be a runaway n and proceed
to do things up in a hasty manner
whenever they get an opportunity.
Fortunately the rake teeth were
fastened up at the time the horses
started, or the result might have
been far more serious.

strict orders to never, under any
circumstances, tresspass upon the
cattlemen's territory and if some
herder has been careless and al
lowed his sheep to wander over
the line, as in this instance, we
will see to it that they are remov-
ed Immediately. When we get SO
that we cannot run sheep without
trespassing upon the rights of

go out of the sheep business"
The firm stand that these men
have taken cannot but have its
influence for good. In these days
of push and scramble i. is very
pleasant to find a powerful cor

A. W.. Bryne, Who has Been in That
Country the Past Winter and Spring
Expresses his Views Concerning the
Dewey.

A.. W. Bryne, a contractor and
a practical mining engineer,
who has been working up in the
western range the past year, was
IN Saratoga this week and gave us
some very interesting information
concerning the properties in that
country.
Mr.. Bryne and Tom. Anderson
have been working on the Dewey
mine the past Spring, sinking II
new shaft. The old shaft was
started in on the lead, and Was
sunk to a depth of 145 feet, but at
that depth the workings were of
necessity. SO Irregular that the
shaft had to be abandoned as the
ore could not be very convenient
ly gotten out.
The new shaft was started about
40 or so feet from the old, and
sunk straight down, the contract
calling for from 1875 to $50 feet of
shafting, or until the vein is reach
ed, when a cross-cut will be made.
The shaft, is now down lilo feet,

THE dead Line"
The Position Of cosgriff Brothers in Re-
lation Thereto Emphatic Evidence
That they Favor and Will do all in
Their Power to Protect it.

Almost every year since the
cattlemen of the upper country
established what is known as the
dead line" or boundary, beyond
which sheep were not allowed to
pass, there has been more or less
trespassing upon that boundary
and consequent complaint from
the cattiemen. AS a rule the
sheepmen have observed the
boundary, but there have been
men who observed it only because
they had to and we're always war
ring against it.
Probably the largest owners of
sheep in this country are Cosgriff
Brothers. They have run sheep
in this valley and adjacent coun-
try for many years, and their rep
utation has always been of fair
men and they have always been
pronounced in upholding the
rights of the cattlemen to an ex-
elusive country, in this valley, for
their own use.
This position on their part has
just been emphasized In a rather
emphatic way, and it gives The
Sun pleasure to place these men
before this community in their
true light.
Last Friday word was brought
to town that some of the sheep be-
longing to Cosgritf Brothers, which
were in the charge of Taylor Pen
mock, had crossed the line and
were ~trespassing upon the terri
tory of the cattlemen. James Il.
Cosgriff happened to be in Sarato-
ga at the time and as soon as the
word was brought in he wrote the
following note and dispatched it to
the Company's camp by a special
messenger:
Saratoga, Wyo., July IL, 'O2.
"Mr. Taylor Pennock.
Dear Sir:-I learn today that
some of our sheep, which are in
your charge, have crossed what is
known as the dead line" and are
within the ranchmen's territory.
If this is true please remove them
at once. 1t is our intention to at
all times respect the rights of the
ranchmen and | trust you can
find camps outside of their circle
Please write me a note by the
bearer and let me know whether
or not this rumor is true.
Very truly yours,
JAS. f. Cosgriff."
In conversation with Mr.. Cos
gritf, in relation to this matter, he
said to "A Sun representative:
"Cosgrif Brothers have always
taken the stand that the cattlemen
of the upper Platte Valley have a
perfect right to establish a dead
line MS il has been termed. They
have a little country up there
which belongs to them by every
right and we are glad to see them
maintain it and l assure you that
there will be no persons in the
country who will observe the
boundary any more scrupulously
