laid on the north side of that
street and will connect with the
present sidewalk, at the Jensen

MEMT STAGE LINE.
Changed Hands Last wsek-Now Owned
BY G. n. scribner "A Large Business,
With Many Coaches, and Routes.

The Saratoga ncampment stage
line has passed into the hands OF
G. NJ. Scribner. the transfer hav-
ing been made last Friday, but
the business from the first of
March will be turned over to him.
William Orville, who owned the
portion of the line between Sara
toga and Encampment. sold his
interest to Mr.. Scribner, who was
the proprietor of the line from
here to Walcott. The consolida
ton of interests in name, though
really separate, was to facilitate
the business of the entire route.
The line from here to Rudefeha
was included in the transfer.
C.. NJ. Scribner has been run.
ming a stage line from here to the
railroad for many years and las
built up a large and remunerative
business. The taking on of the
line from here to Encampment
will increase his holdings very
largely but all will move along
smoothely as heretofore. The
transfer includes stock, coaches.
harness, good will and all that
goes with the line. MIR. Scribner
has been a very successful man
aud his stage line has been pro-
nounced, time and again, to be-
the best stage line anywhere in
the West.
William Orville. who retires
from the line, is one of the best
known stage men in Wyoming.
Himself one of the best stage driv-
ers in the West, he has known
the requisites of a first class stage
line and his six horse teams and
coaches were the finest that ever
travelled over any stage line in
this western country, and were
the admiration and delight OF
every traveller that passed over
the line.

INSPECTING FOREST RESERVE.
Supervisor F. D. Whitney Visits the
Carbon Timber ~company's Camp Pre-
pairing to Drive a Large Number Of
Ties-Bad Roads and Lots Of Snow.

Forest Supervisor F. d. Whit
ney returned Monday from a trip
to the tie camps of the Carbon
Timber Company, located on
Brush, Barrett and North French
creeks, where he had been to in
spect their work. Mr.. Whitney
says that all is proceeding in fine
shape in all of those camps and
that there il not the least danger
of that company interfering with
Government timber.
Mr.. Whitney says the roads are
in an awful condition, owing to
the warn weather of the past if
teen days. The roads in the tim
Der, where there is abundance of
snow, are worn away to an apex
and very difficult to travel, for if
ones horse gets off the trail he
goes down in the soft snow and it
is hard to get him back on the
trail again.
The Carbon Timber Company
are busy making preparations to
drive their ties down to Fort
Steele as soon as spring opens.
They are now banking their ties
along the small streams and pre-
pairing for the first high water
that comes. The company are al
so preparing to put in booms at
the headgates of all bitches, so
that their ties will not interfere
with the supply of water to which
the ditch owners are entitled to,
or damage their headgates or
bitches in any way, The Com
pany will drive between 100000
and 100000 ties down the Platte
and its tributaries to Fort Steele
tuis coming spring.
Priquett Brothers, two young
tie makers in the Brush creek
camp, had the misfortune to LOSE
one of their horses the other day
The-sl sled struck a stump, throw
ing the horse off the trail and the
sled ran onto it breaking a ley
and the animal had to be shot.

copper and gold. The contract

says, that at a hundred feet they
will have a mine that will be a
shipper.
The vein dips toward the North
at an angle of about As degrees.
Kelley says that the vein is
more and more impreg-
