L., l.. P. & P. ROAD
WILL BE RUNNING TO CENTEN.
NAL By THE FIRST OF
SEPTEMBER.
So Vice President Miller Told George
Caldwell on a Recent Trip to Chey-
enne-operation Of Railroad Will
Bring Erection and Operation Of a
Hundred Ton Smelter Here.

George r. Caldwell had the follow.
ing in Sundays issue of the Denver
News:
Fred A. Miller. vice president Of the
Laramie, Hahn's Peak and Pacific rail,
road, is in the city.
Mr.. Miller states that ties for the
twenty miles of accomplished railroad
grading between Laramie city and the
Little Laramie river crossing have
been gotten out and hat their distri,
button along the grade will soon be
commenced.
With the placing of the ties will be,
gin the laying Of the sixty-pound steel
Of the road. the grading Of the add.
tional ten miles between the Laramie
river and Centennial being proceeded
with in the mean time.
The road will be in active operation
over the thirty miles between Laramie
city and Centennial by the first Of Sep.
TENDER next. while more or less grad.
Ing will be done this fall on the eigh.
teen miles between Centennial and
Gold Hill.
Centennial will mark the point OF
active operation this year Of the road,
the grading system projected reaching
next year Hahn's peak. in Routt coun'
ty. Colorado. and into Colorado's North
park.
The famous New Rambler mine will
have a down-hill ore wagon haul of but
thirteen miles to Centennial. while the
next seasons building of the railroad
will directly tap the ore of this great
Wyoming mine.
Other valuable mining deposits will
be developed by the road in the Cen
tennial region. while the Gold Hill vel,
low metal will be as prolific as prec-
ious.
The operations next year of the rail
road from Laramie city to Gold Hill
will bring with it the building and ruIi-
ming of at least a 1OO-ton Laramie city
smelter. This smelter will either be
erected by a coalition of local Laramie
and Hahn's peak capital, or will be es-
tablished exclusively by the railroad
itself. In this direction, Mr.. Miller re-
marks:
I'VE would just as soon as not that
Laramie business capital interest itself
in smelter building. n we have offer
| ed to put 500 into a Laramie pool
for this purpose. A Laramie city smelt-
er. however. in connection with the
Laramie. Hahns Peak and Pacific rail,
road, is too %gilt-edged a traffic and
market investment to escape the at
~tention of the railroad itself"

1t appears from the annual state
ment in the Publishers Circular that
the books of 1901 showed a fall of
about IA thousand in number compared
with 1900. The total number published
last year was GOA Gncluding l.OS9
new editionsD. as compared with 7,149
including 1889 new cditions) in the
previous year. There we're fifty novels
fewer, the total being 1.513, poetry
(2O2) shows a fall of more than a hun
dred. while of works on voyages and
travels the number of new books is
precisely the same 174). although in
reprints there is a decrease of forty.
In 1900 history and biography com
posed one of the few classes which
showed an Increase; now it shows a
decrease of nearly two hundred.

Mr.. Donielson said he had every
confidence In the world of the exist.
ence OF a splendid vein of coal there,
and that the matter of transportation
was the mex subject to be considered.
He vas SO situated. he said. that he be,
l'eved he could interest all the capital
needed to bring the coal to market. the
only charge against the coal up to that
point being the mining. and that with a
~twelve-foot vein. or one approaching
that thickness, that would be a simple
matter.
The specimens brought in bv Mr..
Donielson have been critically exam.
med today by those who ought TO
know what constitutes good coal, and
all have pronounced it Of excellent
quality, and that the quality will be
better rather than worse when the
vein is uncovered at the regular shaft
and deeper in the earth.

Here is a notice that was published
with all seriousness in It Kansaspapcr.
I'VE wish to bring to the notice of the
friends of A. L. Gilland that his physi-
clan has cautioned him against any
sudden starts or jerks. 1t has been the
custom many times when greeting the
old gentleman to take %advantagu OF
his extreme scklishness. The surgeons
say that a man of his nature after I'M
dergoing such a critical surgical opera
ton would be liable to be badly injured
by a sudden start. Therefore his friends
should not greet him in the old wav 5y

Plead Guilty to Prevent Being
Taken East-A Smooth Worker.
Sheriff Cook on Sunday succeeded
in landing n of the smoothest and
most wanted confidence men in the
country. and has him so dead to rights
that he is very anxious to plead guilty
here and thus avoid having to face out
ragged justice in some other sections of
the country. where the punishment
would probably be more severe, the
crime having been greater than here.
His name Is w. F. BRADSHAW. and he
is charged with uttering forged checks
and obtaining money by false pretense,
H. w. Grass, the Second street piano
dealer. being his victim. BRADSHAW is
in the county Jail. but will not talk
very freely. He admitted his guilt to
Sheriff Cook and says he is willing to
plead guilty in court.
Last week BRADSHAW came here from
the east, saying that he represented a
New York piano firm, and wanted to
do business with the local dealers. His
first nov was to get access to the list
of patrons of the local firms. and fail.
ing in this. he started a new graft. pass.
ing worthless checks by r%epresenting
that he had a check for a large amount
and being after banking hours, he
would give his own check and make
good when he got his big draft cashed.
He went TO Mr.. Grass, showing n let.
ter from an eastern customer. to whom
he said he had sold a piano. in which
the writer said he piano had been en-.
tirely satisfactory and that he enclos-
ed a check for over two hundred dol.
lars to a for the same. Upon this
representation Mr.. Grass gave him SIS.
having him in gold,
BRADSHAW went tn the Thornbnrsh
where he was stoppine but did not
spend the night there. He bought a
ticket to Hanna. giving a $40 gold niece
ir for the same and this led
Mr.. Grass to suspect that the fellow
was crooked. as he had said he was
going to cheyenne, He notified sher.
in Cook and the latter went to Carbon.
where he arrested BRADSHAW and
brought him down Sunday noon. Brad.
sham was working to gain the conf.
dence of a lad at Carbon. evidently
intending to use her in getting more
money as he had a book Of checks of
the Amarillo National bank at Chan.
ming. Texas. from which had been O
the check used to get money from Mr..
Grass and perhaps others.
BRADSHAW called at The Republican
ONCE Immediately upon his arrival in
the city and wanted to secure some
lob printing, but when he was told that
the rules of the ONCE demanded cash
in advance from all strangers he
promised tn come back. which he neg.
lected to do.
BRADSHAW was see at the county
jail by a Republican reporter. but as
soon AZ he learned the mission Of the
newspaper man he shut up like a clam

was learned however. tn convince the

Frank II. Hand of Denver is in the
'i'y and at a meeting of the business
men Of the city at the city hall tonight
Will have a proposition to submit,
agreeing to erect a smelter to be paid

day received a letter saying that he
would reach the city this afternoon
prepared to meet such citizens and
committees as Mr.. Fox should suggest.
Representatives Of the Rambler
Copper company will also attend the
meeting and 1t is understood will in.
form the business men that the build.
ing of a smelter to handle the low
grade ore Of that mine has now become
a necessity-that the company Is not
satisfied with the present arrangement
with the Grand Encampment smelter,
and that the company has under con.
sIderation the building Of a smelter at
the mine. Just what the outcome of
this will be remains to be seen.
Monarch in Vein Of Coal.
J.. A. Donielson. who has been at the
Monarch Coal company's claim for the
past two weeks, reached the city on the
noon train yesterday, bringing with
him specimens of coal taken from the
vein in which the company is now
working. He walked twelve miles
through the snow to the railroad, and
the samples OF coal he brought were
small. but they were taken at random
If the vein.
The company began working up to-
ward the center Of its tract and had
reached a depth of about fifty-two feet,
striking a sandstone which is believed
10 Overlie the coal bed, and Mr.. DOniel-
eon believes that when that has been
GENERATED the coal measure will have
been reached.
Having soon to return to Kansas
CITY and being determined to take
word back with him as to the condition
Of the vein, he set his men to working
At n lower point OF the tract. and at
a depth of only fifteen feet below the
surface came upon the vein from which
the samples were taken. At this point
III, vein is eight feet thick. and it was
noticed to be dipping about six inches
for every five feet, leading Mr.. Don
irlson to believe that by the time the
original shaft was reached the vein
would not be less than twelve feet
thick.
The coal is said to be equally as
GOOD and very much the same char
acter as the Hanna vein, while some
.outend that 1t is nearer the quality
Of the coal taken from the Rock
Springs mine.
