CITY OF SARATOGA.
A Short Sketch of its Many Resources
and Prospects for a Great Future for
the Town.

Saratoga is situated on the
North Platte river, about y miles
from the railroad, Walcott being
the nearest railrt all station. 1t
has a daily mail, six horse coaches
making the trip to and from the
railroad each day. The city is in
corporated and has about 800 in
habitants, and every class of bust
ness is represented.
1t is lighted by electricity and
the streets are graded and under
the are of the city. The North
Platte river divides the town into
east and west sides, which are con-
nected by II magnificent iron
bridge, which spans the river in
the center of the city. Groves of
cottonwood trees line the river
banks and the town is conceded to
be one of the most promising and
beautiful in the state. The loca-
ton is "A very healthy one and
real estate is steadily on the in

a city of homes and is noted for
the law-abidiug and upright char

with mineral leads, bearing gold.

follow variable climates.
The records of the Government
observation station at this place
show an average of S0R sunshine
during nine months in the year.
There are very few days that the
sun does not shine for at least a
part of the time, hut the general
rule is that bright, sunny days
prevail for nine-tenths of the time.
And it is sunshine, not muggy,

Guiding the famous RAINBOW and
brook species, We're planted in the
stream some years ago and the re-
suit is that the river and all its
tributaries are literally alive with
the gamiest fish that ever rose to
a fly. Every mile of the main
river is an anglers paradise, and
the small streams abound in a
smaller variety of brook trout
Many rainbow trout, measuring
from "A to 30 inches, and weigh
ing from D to u pounds, have
been taken from this stream.
Truly this is an ideal country
for trout fishing, and many fine
trout are taken from this stream
right within the confines of the
city

STOCK RAISING.
An Industry Which is Increasing in
Importance Each Year--Fine Bred
Cattle Coming to the Front.

This valley was at one time
justly famous as "a stock country
That was in the palmy days of the
cattle business, when great herds
were allowed to roam over the
plains, becoming rolling fat on
the native grass and were shipped
