SAW MILL BURNED OUT.
Elk Horn Saw Mil, Located on the Rude.
feha Road Burns out on the 18th.

From j. l.. Ufferd, bookkeeper
and general manager for j. E.
Archer's saw mill, located on the
Rudefeha road, we learn that
the mill burned down on the l4th.
Fortunately there was but little
wind and all the lumber and saw
logs were saved.
1t seems that on the afternoon
Of the l4th the timbers on which
the boiler rests, took fire but were
presumably extinguished. About
2 o'clock the next morning they
we're awakened by the glow and
on Investigation found the mill
building a mass of flames. AS
there was no possibility of saving
the building they turned their eff
forts 10 the lumber and outbuild-
irgs. There was about 100000
feet of lumber in the yard but
plenty of water and careful super
vision saved the entire pile, rs
well as the outbuildings, and only
the mill building, saws and belt
ing were destroyed, the machin-
cry being in good shape after the
fire.
1t is supposed the fire had not
been entirely extinguished in the
timber under the boiler and had
broken out from there.
MI. Ufferd was in to order new
saws and betting and the mill will
be running again the last of this
week or the first of next.
As the mill has been located at
that point on the Rudefeha road
for several years it was thought
best to change the location, and
the buildings and machinery have
been moved to a point three-quar-
tiers of a mile west and just across
North Spring creek, where there
is a ine body of timber The new
location is only half a mile from
the Rudefeha road and has an ex.
cellent road built in to the mill.
Mr. Ufferd says they have Is
men employed at present and are
putting out a large quantity of
lumber.

A Big Hay Deal.

The Grand Encampment Trans
portation Company made a recent
deal with Hunter, Casteel & Hun
ter, whereby they became the pos
SCISSORS of 1900 tons of hay at the
Big creek ranch, for IS per ton.
This leaves the firm of Hunter,
Casteel q Hunter about 500 tons
of hay at the home ranch, on Big
creek. They, however, are well
supplied with hay, for they at
once went up into North Park
and purchased 5000 tons of hay at
"a per ton. They win take their
cattle to the Park and feed them
when the hay gives out on Big
creek.

NEW COPPER STRIKE.
Vein Of Excellent Copper Ore Struck by
George H~ildebrandt South East Of the
syndieate-l5 Inches Of Fine Ore.

George H%ildebrandt, who has
been working in the mountains
near the Syndicate mine struck
an excellent vein of ore about Eve
elghths of a mile southeast of the
Syndicate.
j. d.. Attield and G. X. Bremen
are also interested in the claim
with Hildebrandt, we were shown
some ore by Mr.. Atfeld which
was taken from the lead at a
depth of Is feet and the showing
is fine. The ore is identical with
that found in the Ferris Haggar-
ty, Doane Rambler and other good
mines in the surrounding country,
and the boys have every reason
to think they have one of the
finest propositions in the district.
Mr.. Hildebrandt was in the
first of the week returning again
Tuesday, and will continue the
work on the claim. They are
sinking a shaft and have three
men at work at present.

g. P. Mathewson Fined.

The proceedings in contempt
before Judge Craig yesterday
against G.. p. Mathewson. a ranch
man residing on Jack creek. re-
suited in the defendant being fined
5000 and costs which amount to
about $1,000. He was also requir-
ed to give Il bound in the sun of
$4,000 rs a guarantee that he will
ia the future respect the injunc-
ton of the court.
Some five years ago n restrain
ing order was issued against Mr..
Matthewson,o n relation of the Jack
creek Land and Cattle company,
restricting Mathewson to seventy
one hundreths of a cubic foot of
water of Jack creek for irrigation
purposes. 1t was found that the
Jack Creek company has the first
prior right to LAP cubic feet of
water. Mr., Mathewson the sec
ond right for II feet and the Jack
Creek company an additional right
for % cubic feet, which is more
water than the creek affords. 1t is
alleged that notwithstanding the
restraining order issued by Judge
Knight the defendant has con-
tinued to use more than his prop
portion of the water from the
stream. Upon these facts Judge

INDIANAPOLIS GROUP.
Work Being Prosecuted on Iron King
Claim New Shaft Started and Ore
Looks Well.

Luke Wheeler, vino is interest.
ed in the indianapolis Mining Co
which owns a group of claims on
Cow creek, in talking to a Sun
representative concerning the
c%ompany's properties showed Il
communication which had lust
been received from John o. Ross
secretary of the company. which
inclosed a draft for development
purposes and stated that the com
pany was anxious to prosecute de.
velorment work and determine
what there was In their property
1t also stated that the colnpan,
had plenty of funds for develop
ment.
Mr.. Wheeler says they are now
working on the Iron King, n OF
the claims in the indianapolis
group and that the outlook is
very satisfactory A shaft 40 feet
in depth had been sunk on this
claim but it was deemed advisable
to abandon this shaft and start
one about 20 feet distant at an
angle TO the old one and which
is on the hanging wall. The old
shaft had been started in on the
foot wall but at the bottom had
not come i'll contact with the
hanging wall. The new shaft will
strike the foot wall at a depth of
80 or IS feet.
The vein is a large well defined
one, the body of ore being 4 feet
in width, with about Is inches of
soft gouge, carries iron oxide,
which assays from 81 to $40 in
gold with some silver. The vein
matter will assay from I to 80 per
cent In copper. The company is
well satisfied with the showing
and are anxious to gain depth in
order to strike the ore body, which
must lie underneath.
The tramway runs directly
through this group of claims, the
second station being located at
that point, which will give them
a direct and easy means of trans
p%orration for their output. Mr..
Wheeler says there is about &c
tons of good ore on the dump at
the present time.

Varioloid.

There are several cases of vario-
loid i'll town, all of the cases being
confined to the family of Robert
Torbett. Ii was not known at

was in such II mild form that it
was called nettle rash at first.

With the disease, some of them not

had partially recovered they were

ing that they had had small pox
or that there was any danger of

alton of the patients Tuesday
morning and pronounced the dis
ease small pox and quarantined
the family at once. Mr.. Torbett,
who has been vacinated, has not

OVERLAND OIL AND GAS co.
Making Rapid Roadway in Drilling for
Oil at Fort Steele Now Down ITO
Feet-casing up a ten Inch Hole Pre-
pared to 60 5000 Feet.

Park Mcdonald, the superintend-
ent of the Overland Oil and Gas
Company, which is drilling an
oil we'll at Fort Steele, was a Sar-
atoga visitor yesterday. He gave
us some facts concerning the work
in which he is engaged, which will
prove interesting to our readers:
"We have been at work drilling
for oil at Fort Steele" said Mr..
Mcdonald, ''for about six weeks.
The well is located on the north
side of the U. P. railroad track
just east of the river. The selec-
ton of the ground was made by
reason Of the fact that there is an
anticline on all sides and we be-
lieve that we will be able to
reach oil there at a less depth
than anywhere else in that vicini-
ty.
"We have one of the best oil
drilling outfits anywhere in the
west and were going down rapidly
when the whipping of the cable
caused the shale to cave oil us
and we had to order casing. That
will be there by the time / get
back and we will proceed to put
that in and then go ahead with
our work. The first Is or 20 feet
was wash and then about three
feet of gravel; after which we ran
into a shale and we are in that
formation still.
"We do not know how far we
will have to go for oil, but we fig
ure hat we are liable to strike it
at any moment. We are prepar-
ed to go to a depth of 5000 feet if
necessary, though we do not an
ticipate having to go anywhere
near that deep. There is every
indication of oil there on every
side and if we strike a good flow
ing well there you may look to see
wells sunk all along this river, up
and down, from Fort Steele. 1t
would be the making of this en-
tire country if we should strike oil
and you need not be surprised if
YOU hear of such a fact any day
after we get to going again"
Mr.. Mcdonald is a very pleas
ant gentleman and one evidently
who understands his business.
He was very much pleased with
Saratoga and expressed his inten-
ton of renewing the visit shortly
and of extending it on up to En-
campment.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
SMALL P0x ON SPRING CREEK.
Dr.. Burke, Health officer for This Place,
Visits That Valley and Finds 10 Cases
on the Sick List on That Stream None
Of the Cases Very Serious.

This community was very much
startled when 1t was learned that
small pox was epidemic on the
south Fork of Spring creek.
DIR. Green has been in attend
ance on the people of that district
for a number of days and was on
v~ersant with the nature of the dis
case and had kept it within bounds
ever since he had been there. 1t
was not generally known that the
dread disease was in that country.
The first case that was known IN
that community was that of one of
the Swanson hovs, who had been
working i'll the shops of Rawlins,
and had come home sick. to the
ranch of his parents on Spring
creek. all broken out. That was
some two months ago.
Some two weeks ago David
Grippe came over from Encamp
ment and stopped at the Swanson
ranch, broken out with the dis
list 1t was not known what the
trouble was, as many called it
chicken pox. There was a dance
mt the Swanson ranch attended by
all the people on the creek and al
So by the adjoining creeks This
was while Grippe was sick and from
that gathering the disease spread.
DIR. Burke, the local health Off
Ger of Saratoga. was sent to that
neighborhood Sunday to inspect
and report on the epidemic, re-
turning to Saratoga Monday, and
informs the Sun that he found II
cases of small pox in three fami-
lies including the Grippe case at
the Swanson ranch. The other
Ii cases were at the ranches of
Mowry and Fouts. FIVE cases at
Mowry's and the other six at
Fouts'.
Miss Bertha Mowry, daughter
of Earle Mowry, is said to be quite
ill and will probably be marked
somewhat by the disease, though
rs a rule the cases have all been
very mild, and the patients are
not marked but little. Nearly all
q" the people in hat neighbor-
hood have been exposed and more
cases may be looked for.
The sun has information that
there ARE about 25 cases of this
disease in Encampment, and that
the local physicians claim that it
is nothing more than chicken pox.
DIR. Burke, Saratoga's health Off
Ger, has been in communication
with Vice-P President Miller, of the
State Medical Association and it
is likely that some steps will be
taken to look into the nature of
the disease at Encampment.

Pope AND UNIFIED ITALY.

Catholic Question Blocks the Way of a
Successful Government
Both young and old, the holy father
said at Christmas. were wanted in the
Christian movement for the upraising
of the people, and young and old must
work hand in hand. These frequent
exhortations of the pope TO union
among Catholics suggests the existence
Of causes OF dissension, says the Tab
let.
There are Catholics of the old school,
fond of a quiet life, who refuse TO take
note of the changed conditions of the
times; on the other hand, there are
ardent young spirits who forget that
there has been a past at all, and who
seek to impress their own ideas whole
and entire, as in new creation, on the
Italy OF today.
To these especially the holy father
addresses a former instruction on the
social movement, in which he urges
that it must be in continuity with the
past. must draw its inspiration from
religion, and its direction from the
pastors of the church. There have
been some few who were ready to leave
the Roman question and the rights Of
the holy see in the background in their
eagerness to prove the democratic
character of the Catholic movement
The Roman question does undoubtedly
block the way Of the Italian govern
ment, whose path will never be smooth
until it has solved it to the satisfaction
Of the pope.
