RAILROAD SURVEY.
Work Again Begun on the Line From
Here to Encampment-Hunting for the
Most Feasible Route to That City -
GOOD Prospects for the Building of the
Line at an Early Date.

Work on the railroad survey. from
Walcott to Saratoga, has been in
allegiance until recently, when orders
we're received from the headquarters
of the company, to re-survey the line
from this place to Encampment. j.
Z. Kennedy, who made the survey
from Walcott to this place, has been
employed to run from this line, also,
and started out with a crew of men
this morning.
The company is not entirely salts
fed with the route up the North
Platte river, from this place to En-
campment, as surveyed by Engineer
Johns, and will hunt for a better
route across country. This new route
will probably go up Spring creek, to
a point where the break above the
large mesa occurs, and from there on
through the low lands, to the En-
campment valley. 1t may run up
as near the foot hills as the ranch of
Jones and Williams, on Calf creek,
and that of A. FL. Huston, on Cow
creek, and thence on into Encamp-
ment, which country presents a very
feasible route.
The maps of the survey from Wal
colt to this place have been made and
will shortly be sent in for the COM
pany's inspection and approval, but
there is not much doubt but what
they will adopt the line as surveyed.
The survey bears east out Of Walcott,
up Pass creek, as far as the ranch of
Duncan Campbell; from there it runs
due south, with only a little variation
east, to this place, and ends at the
river just west of the Hot Springs
bath house.
Nothing very definite could be
learned from Engineer Kennedy, as
to the work in hand, or the prospects
of the building of the road, but this
move On the part of the company
looks like they intended to begin the
work of construction as soon as the
weather would permit. The name of
the new company has not been given
out yet, but it will likely be called
The Wyoming Central" as we I'M
derstand that they contemplate, at
some time in the future, to build on
north into Fremont and Big Horn
counties.

Real Estate Active.

There has been a number of impor-
tant real estate deals made in this
valley recently, brought about by the
prospective opening up of this coun-
try by means of the Kuykendall- Will
son Development Company. The
large ranch of j. F. Wilcox, together
with the stock and farming nipple
ments, was sold last week to L. d.
Peck, the consideration being SILL
600.
The desert claim of William H.
Caldwell, which contains 800 acres
and lies a half mile EAST of the town
has also been purchased. The city
property owned by S. L. Willis, just
west of the Jensen ball, has also been
bought by recently arrived parties
who have come here to locate.
We are informed that negotiations
are now pending for other ranches
and properties and that this is but
the beginning of an active movement
in real estate here in Saratoga and
the country Immediately surrounding
it.
These sales have all been made by

THE SYNDICATE PROPERTY.
Development Work Now in ore--Good
Prospect to Float the Bonds CT the Com
pany and Raise Money With Which to
Develop the Property.

Jack Johnston, the president of the
Syndicate Mining Company, left for
the mine .toerday. to see how the
work on their property was progress
sing. In conversation with Mr.. John
ston we learned that the affairs of the
company are in good shape and the
prospects of a large amount of devel-
opment work being done this coming
summer are unusually good.
ave are on the eve of making a
deal" said Mr.. Johnston, "whereby
the treasury of the company will have
$4,000 to spend in development of
the mine. The deal will be made
with Omaha parties, who have both
the money and the influence, and if it
goes through the Syndicate mine
will be stocked with machinery and
we "a work at its development with
some advantage. Mr.. Hoel, the vice.
president, will leave for Omaha short.
ly and close the matter no. When
he was there a few weeks ago he
worked the matter up and there is
but little doubt but what it will go
through.
"We are in ore now in the drift we
are running and we expect, judging
from the formation we are in, 10
shortly strike ore that will pay to
concentrate. In the event that we
do strike the ore body, then one of the
first things that w intend to do is to
put up a concentration right at the
mine and matte the ore for ship
ment."

saratoga-E ncampment Stage Line.

In conversation with one of the pro
p%rietors of the S~aratoga-E ncampment
stage line we learned that their bust
ness has been unusually heavy dur
ing the present winter. The amount
of travel has been no greater than it
was at odd times in the summer and
fall, but ii has been steadier and var
led little from day to day. Just at
this time the bulk of the passenger
travel is from the western and middle
states and consists of farmers and
stockmen who are coming into this
country to look up the Kuykendall-
Wilson Irrigation scheme and this
class of travel will undoubtedly ON
tinue to increase for many months to
come. There is also a steady flow of
travel to and from Encampment, Bat
tie Lake and the country about the
head of Beaver creek and Pearl, Colo.

E. E. LUFKIN GONE INSANE.
Was Living Temporarily at woodriver
Neb., With his Family Has Been Ia
ken to the Insane Asylum at Lincoln.

James Case received a telegram
from his daughter, Mrs. f. E. Lufkin,
the first of the week, stating that her
husband had gone insane. The de-
tails are meagre but so far as we
can learn they are as follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Lufkin had gone down to
Nebraska for the winter on account
of Mr.. Lufkin's health and had stop
ped at Woodriver. There was re-
Gently a religious revival at that place
and Mr.. Lufkin attended and became
violently insane and had to be taken
to the insane asylum at Lincoln.
We give the above facts as related to
It's, trusting that they have been
greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. Lufkin is well and favorably
known in this community, having liv-
ed here for many years. He was of
late Il member of the firm of Sterrett
& Lufkin, of this place and was uni
versally respected. His arrangement
will be read of with deep regret by
all his friends, who will join with The
Sun in hoping that it is only temper
airy.

CRUELTY.
The Grand Encampment transportation
Company Said TO Be Abusing its Stock
Complaints Made That Their Horse are
over-Worked and Under-Fed.

There have been many complaints
made at this office of late concerning
the manner in which the Grand En-.
campment Transportation Company
is treating its stock. At first we paid
no attention to them, but they be-
came so persistent that We have taken
the pains to interview some of the
men, recently in the employ of the
company, and find that their testimo-
ny goes far towards establishing their
complaints.
From three of their ex-drivers, men
who drove teams for the company on
the road, from the Transfer to the
Ferris aggarty mine, we have been
informed that they quit work for the
company simply because they could
not stand to use stock that were both
under fed and we loaded. These
men are reputable and say they can
s~ubstantiate their charges of cruelty
to the animals now being used on the
10Y These mel charge that the
company persists in using sick horses
and in loading their teams entirely
too heavily for the road. One man
said: 81 had a sick horse in my team
and worked from 10 o'clock a. IN. to
3 o'clock p. m, getting my team from
the wood pile to the saw mill. The
animal was so weak that he could not
keep on the trail and | wore both my
self and the horse out, wallowing in
the now When | got to the saw
mill the boss told me to put the horse
in and go on to the mine. | refused
to do it and he put'a man on in my
place and ! quit the job. The horse
was driven on into the mine. though
so sick it could scarcely stand up.
My experience is the same as many
others on that job. The company are
killing their horses off as fast as they
can and the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals should
look into the matter"
All of the men VT interviewed told
the same tale of sick horses being
made to work while scarcely able to
stand. We can give the names of
these men to anyone wishing to in
vestigate the matter. The columns
of The Sun are open to the company
| fnr Ax,,ta ntfn, ~ ytntapanpN ~c tI.,r
side of the case; but if one half the
reports we hear are true, some one
should move in the matter at once.
The Grand Encampment Transpor-
tation Company, if they are guilty of
cruelty to animals, are not the only
ones who can be justly charged with
that crime. There are a number of
freighters between the railroad and
this place and Encampment who are,
to our certain knowledge, not only
undertaking their teams, but also
over loading and abusing them be-
sides. We are cognizant of what we
say in this matter and there is plenty
of work for the S. P. A. right here.
We are very pleased to add, how
ever, that there are very many fine
freight teams on this road, whose ow-
ners take pride in keeping them in
prime condition and not giving them
more than they a perform with
ease. The Ferris aggarty Compa-
ny will never have to answer to the
charge of cruelty to animals for, al
though they drew tremendous loads,
their teams We're all in prime shape,
well fed and never over worked.

Caesar travelled with the retinue Of q
man Of rank, and on his way 70
Rhodes he fell In with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Egcan, his vessel Is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
TO Pharmacusa. an island or the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their pos.
session, and there be was detained for
six weeks with three Of his attendants,
while the rest OF his servants were
e n to the nearest Roman station to
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite.
ness. He Joined In their sports, played
games with them. looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could. frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
be hanged.
The ransom. a very large one. about
10000. was brought and paid. Caesar
was set upon the mainland. near Mi
letus, where. without q moments
delay. he collected some armed vessels,
returned to the island. seized the
whole crew while they were dividing
their plumber. and took them away to
Pergamus, the seat Of government in
the Asiatic province, where they were
convicted and crucihed. Clemency was
not a Roman characteristic. II was
