CHIPPEWA N. & M. Co.
Will Develop Spring Creek Silver Mines
A 4o-Horse Steam Plant to be Installed
at Once.

w. O. Carpenter and H. l..
Kuykendall have taken hold of the
property owned by the Spring
Creek Mining Company, located
on Spring creek about five miles
from the line of the Ferris Hag-
garty aerial tramway. To secure
funds to prosecute extensive de
velopment work, the l~essees have
organized a stock company, called
the Chippewa Mining & Milling
Company with capitalization of
one million dollars, par value of
shares. one dollar each, and have
placed the stock upon the market
at fifteen cents. They expect to
do n large amount of work this
A 40-horse steam plant
will be installed at once and other
improvements will be made upon
the property so that extensive
operations may be taken up and
continued for all indefinite period.
The property consists of six
claims, across which are two fine
veins of mineral bearing material.
1t is a high grade silver and lead
proposition. and has a good repu-
tation among the properties of the
camp. The work to date consists
of three shafts and a tunnel. The
deepest shaft is 90 feet, and shows
S%alena and copper ores. The 9TH
er shafts are fifteen and twenty
eight feet in depth, respectively,
and both show the galena and
copper ores in abundance. Some
bonanza assays have been secured
from these workings. One assay
shows S5.16 in gold, 1862 in sill
yer and eighty per cent. lead, with
a total value of S1160o per ton.
Another assay shows Sl6,20 in
gold, $500 in silver, with a total
value of S3l6.20 to the ton. And
a mill run on a wagon load of ore
taken to the Grand Encampment
smelter gave returnes of S77.00
per ton. There are at present
several tons of this class of ore on
the dump.
Expert Green has made 8 report
upon this property and has recon-
mended it worthy of extensive
prospecting. Messrs Carpenter
and Kuykendall are decidedly
confident of success, and announce
that work will be commenced at
the earliest possible date.-En-

Invented Bottle Closure.

For many year the trade has felt
the necessity of a bottle that could
not be re-filled. There have been
many attempts to solve the prob.
lem, some 25 or 26 patents for a
so-called invention to prevent
bottles from being re-fiIled, hav-
ing been granted inventors, but
all have proved failures. Jeweler
G. w. Scott, G. E. Shipley and H.
Hughes have just been granted a
patent, through the agency of
Mum & Co., of New York, for a
bottle that at last solves the prob
lem, 1t has been thoroughly test
ed and the patent was not a week
old before the above named gen
tlemen had an offer, from the
manufacturers OF Worcester Sauce,
in England, of $1,000 for the use
of the patent in their trade. They
have also had many offers from
many other sources and the pat
ent is likely to prove of immense
value. They are to be congraru-
lated on their

though he was formerly a resident
of Saratoga. He suggested the
idea to Mr.. Scott, who worked on
the plan for some time. They
were still lacking on one point,
which MI. Hughes of the bottling
works supplied, and then the
work was complete.

campment were placed in opera.
ton after being closed down for a
year to permit of the vast improve
ments which have been made.
The power is generated by a
pipe line four miles long and four
feet in diameter. The power was
turned on, and the vast, intricate
machinery began to move last
week for the first time. This
was done TO test the operations of
the works which were found to be

then the entire works will be
placed in operation, The plant

What the Local Paper Does.

Speaking of what newspapers

to 5000 free reading lines for the

WILL INACCURATE
NEW SYSTEM.
The Carbon Timber Company Announce,
That it Will Take its Tie Drive Down
the River in Such o Manner as to
Damage no One.

C. L. Wagner, General Manager
of the Carbon Timber Company,
has been a Saratoga guest the past
week. Mr. Wagner says they will
proceed in Nh entirely different
name in conducting their tie
drive down the Platte river, and
its tributaries, from what has ever
been done before. They will not
let the ties out of the booms at
the mouths of the small creeks,
until the river starts to fall. They
will then rush them right down
the river without damaging any
of the ranchmen along it's banks.
As all the sloughs will have been
doomed, so that no ties can enter
them, and all of the large bitches
protected in like manner at their
headgates, there will be no ties
drifting in to bother any one.
Also having all of their cooking
apparatus and other belongings
on a boat on the river will make
a marked difference, as they will
not be compelled to drive over any
ones meadow with four or five
wagons and ten or twelve head of
horses to do further damage.
Mr., Wagner closed by saying,
that when they get to Fort Steele
with their drive that the people
along their route would have not
the slightest cause to complain of
the manner in which they had
been treated.

ELK MOUNTAIN MINING EWs
Several Promising Claims That Will be
Worked This Coming summer-slo.-
900 to be Spent on the William Penn.

The prospects for a big mining
boom on and around Elk Noun
tain this coming summer is very
good. Besides the activities at
the Elk Mountain Mining Com
pany's works there are three other
properties there that are begin
ming to attract attention.
Petty Brothers have done con
siderable work on their claims and
they ire showing up in fine shape.
The owners of the William
Penn" Mrs. ObeIg and her sons.
Oscar and Omar and Mr.. Thomas.
are now busy erecting buildings
on their clam. They will build
a shaft house, bunk house and
other necessary buildings, the
timber for which is now on the
ground. The lumber for the fin
ishing is now being hauled out.
This company has $4,000 in its
treasury to spend in development
work.
William Hickman and William
Griffin, who own the South d.
kota,' are now down 80 feet on
their shaft. The shaft has been
in low grade ore all of the way.
The vein is over 100 feet in width
on the surface, but its present
width is not known. When they
get down to the 100 foot level they
will crosscut the lead to ascertain
its width. They found a piece of
pure copper, 3 by u inches, bis
tered to the hanging wall, a few
days ago. They are confident they
have a low grade proposition of
great value for smelling on the
ground. They are getting out
timber for the erection of build
ings on their claim.

COPPER ON LAKE CREEK.
A Valuable Lead Of That Ore Found in
the Foothills Of Timber Mountain
Six Foot Vein and Two Feet OF Ore.

Martin Sundquist is the discov-
erer of a valuable veiI. of copper
ore on one of the small branches
of Lake creek, up in the foot hills
of Timber mountain. He made
the discovery two years ago and
has been pegging away at it for
some time, with the result that he
now has a shaft down 40 feet on
the vein which shows a lead six
foot in width, with a pay streak
two feet in thickness.
The ore taken from this lead is
iron and copper, but mostly cop
per, which shows up in the nature
of carbonates and pyrites. The
walls are syenite. This find is
pronounced to be one of the most
valuable and important thet has
eve been made in that mountain
and the location is only II miles
from Saratoga, in a north-easterly
direction. Arrangements are be-
ing made to develope this claim
with the belief that it will prove a
shipper before it reaches a depth
of 100 feet.

Denver Men Here for the Purpose Of
Looking the Ground Over. SO as to DO
Informed When Bids are Called for.

w. j. Barker, John NJ. Kuyken-
dali and j. Caruthers. all of Den
yer, were mp this week, for the
purpose of looking the ground
over preparatory to making q bid
ON the water-works contract when
it is let.
Mayor Clemmons, accompanied,
by the town council, city attorney
NJ. b. Moore, and city engineer,
j. G. Kennenv, and the above
named gentlemen, went out to
look the ground over to find H
suitable site for the location of
the reservoir. A most desirable
site-in fact the only available
one so far as supplying the entire
town is concerned-was found due
south of town, and it was agreed
by the entire party hat it was by
far the finest site that could pos
sibly be selected. 1t is the high
point southwest of the residence
of J. F. Crawford.
Nothing, however, can be done
until the money is secured for the
bonds, which may be thirty or
sixty days yet. Then the survey
for the site, the route for the pipe
to be laid, and all the preliminary
work Of preparing plans and speci-
fications, will have to be done be-
fore wen bids for the construction
of the works can be called for. 1t
is not at all likely that the present
city administration will be able to
make any move in the matter, but
everything will be in excellent
shape for the incoming admins
tration to take hold of the work
and push it right on to complexion.

FATAL SHOOTING AT RAWlINS.
=. J. Keefe Kills John W. Baxter and
Thomas King Escapes, but Returns
and Gives Himself up.

A shooting took place in Raw
Inns Monday evening about eight
o'clock p. m. by which john W.
Baxter, City Marshal and Thomas
King, "A L, Z. brakeman, lost their
lives mt the hands of +. j. Keefe.
of the Keefe Grocery Company of
that place. The facts are briefly
as follows: Keefe had been con
fined III the city Jail for drunken
ness and had been given a trial in
Justice Smiths court and senten-
fenced to 80 days in jail, but one
of his children was lying at the
point of death, he was released
pending good behavior Coming
down to town in the evening
keefe proceeded to bowl up and.
going into his store, he locked the
door. Along about 8 o'clock he
took a shot through "A window at
some one passing OF the sidewalk.
Baxter hearing the shot went to
the store and, finding the door
locked, demanded admittance,
which being refused, he kicked
the door in and undertook to ar
rest Keefe. Tom. King coming up
at this time undertook to help
Baxter arrest Keefe, when Keefe
shot him through the heart, kill
ing him instantly. Keefe then
shot Baxter in the bowels.
Baxter lived for three or four
hours when he, too, died from the
effects of the wound. In the ex-
element following the double
tragedy Keefe made good his es-
escape and fled to the Kindt ranch,
from there he went down nearly
to Fort Steele and then turned
and went back to Rawlins and
went to the home of his brother
in-law, and went to bed. Later on
IN the day he sent word to the
Mayor and Sheriff to come and
take him into custody, which they
did. A mob formed that evening
and there was every indication
that he would be taken from the
Jail and lynched, but a number of
deputies were sworn in and every
precaution taken to prevent vio-
lence.
John w. Baxter was an old tim
err in the country and is we'll
known to many of the people of
this place, He was a man of most
excellent qualities and every one
who knew him loved him. notwith-
standing his wild and dissipated
habits. His father, Robert Bax-
ter was, for many years Roadmast-
er on the Mountain Division of
the Union Pacific Road, and his
brother, Robert w. Baxter, is
now, and has been for many years,

Division of the L. p. road. No
one knows the dead man but will
