Lauds Copper Exhibit.

State Geogogist Fl. @. Beeler
was in Encampment this week
visiting some of the working prop
critics of the district and in speaking
abont mining affairs in general,
took occasion to melton the North
American Copper Co.'S exhibit at
the Casper Industrial convention
last week, which he stated was one
of the most complete he had I'VE
seen and reflected great credit up
on the exhibitor as we'll as attratct-
ing constant attention.
at is an exhibit of this Sort"
said Mr.. Beeler, "that does the
greatest amount of good, The
casual visitor is interested in the
snowy red bars of copper and views
of the works; the investor notes
there of course bnt more closely
and also takes in general appear
snce of the plant and devotes
considerable attention to the mill
products, concentrates, ETC., as
well as the pres shown and comes
away with a good working knowl-
edge of the plant and the work
done. The first sample of cap
and surface ores, together with
the wall rock and different grades
of ores shown, from the highgrade
smelling ore to the poorest grade
of milling rock attracted great at
tention from the mining men pres
ent and formed one of the most
instructive features of the %conven-
ton for a great many people.
Requests for pieces of these
cap and wall rock were constantly
received and in every case were
carefully marked and carried
away for comparison with out
crops all over the state.
II believe this exhibit accomp-
lished Il great permanent good fol
the Encampment district, and
the whole state for that matter NJ
it showed our W people as wei
as those from elsewhere not only
that we have copper here but how
the ores are found and treated

Successful Vegetable Gardens.

A number of very successful
vegetable gardens were raised in
town the past summer. All kinds
of the more hardy vegetables grew
luxuriously aud have proven a
great help in supplying their own
ers with an abundance of good,
healthy, nutritious food. There
are several families that have en-
tirely furnished their own tables
with fresh vegetables, as well as
that of some of their neighbore in
this manner. Among the number
of the most energetic and success
full in this line were Robert Tor
bett, G.. w. Maxfield and A. q.
Bullock. Flowers were raised in
the greatest p~rofusion, and Sara
toga is becoming noted for it's many
handsome lawns and flower gard
ems.

registration agents, r now sit
ting as a Board of Registration in
the city hall, where all those who
wish to vote at the coming cleo
ton in November, will have to go

known that every one has to regis

they were registered before or not
So all who wish to vote at the
coming election will have to see
to it that their names are register
ed with the registry agents, or
they may be disbarred from vot-

The FLORENCE MINE,
A Very Rich Gold Mine in the Medicine
Bow Range is now Being
Worked.

1t is said that the Florence mine
which is being developed by the
Ideal Mining and Milling Compa-
ny, contains many tons of rich ore,
says the Centennial Post. This
ore is actually in sight and when
complete preparations are made
by the company for mining oper-
atoms, many tons will be extract
ed daily.
The Keystone shaft is being en-
larged and re-timbered and like
the Florence shaft is said to con-
tain much valuable ore.
Not all of the machinery for
these properties is on the ground
as yet, but many men are employ
ployed both in the mines and on
lhe surface.
"A mining man recently visiting
there, said that it was destined to
become II of the leading min
ing camps of the west, and that
its development meant much to
the good of the mines near Cen
tennial, which were just as valu-
able as those at Keystone, but un-
fortunately had not had sufficient
capital applied in their develop
ment. .

DEMOCRATIC CONVECTION
Held in Rawlins on the 10th and County
Ticket Named-No Enthus-
iasm Shown.

The county convention of the
democrats WAS held in Rawlins on
the 10th and a ticket placed in
nomination for the fall election.
The convention was presided over
by G. f. Blydenburgh, with Will
Reid as secretary. AS is usual
with the party in question, very
little enthusiasm was aroused and
no hope manifested for the cleo
ton of their ticket.
The nominees are:
State Senate, w. l.. Kuyken-
dali, Saratoga.
House of representatives, Oscar
Quintrell, w. II. LOOMS. HI. Lar
son, Ed. Sears and d. G.. Jones.
Sheriff, Morgan Maghee, Rawl-
ms.
County clerk, A. J. Doggett,
Saratoga.
treasurer, James Claus, Rawl-
ms.
County attorney, M. B. Moore;
Encampment.
Commissioner, foui year term,
W. H. Wolford, Encampment.
Commissioner, two year term,
Ed. Wren, Dixon.
Superintendent of schools, Miss
Celia Smith, Rawlins.
Clerk of court, Miss Belle Ryan
Rawlins.
Will Reid is chairman of the
county central committee, and
Judge Blood is committeeman at
Saratoga. 1t is not probable we
will have any democratic rallies
at Saratoga until inst before cleo
ton, when DIR. Osborne, Judge
Corn, and T. S. Taliaffero, will
speak here and at Encampment.

The potato crop is a failure
generally speaking. Two or three
heavy frosts did the business.
First, there was a frost in June
that cut the vines down to the
ground almost everywhere. The
vines were rapidly recovering from
this blast, when there came anoth-
er frost, about a month later,
which gave them such a set back
that they almost went out of bus
mess. There will be about a
quarter of a crop in the entire val
ley, and potatoes will have to be
shipped in to supply the demand.
There were a few growers fortu-
nate enough to escape the frost
and they have a good crop. Their
crops will yield them a big profit.

He has lived on the Encampment

sToCKYAaDs LETTER
Shipments Of Cattle Short Distances by
Trolley Cars Gaining in Favor
Among Shippers.

South Omaha, Oct. 12-The
practibability of shipping live
stock to market on trolley cars is
being discussed by certain pro
moters of interurban lines in Oma-
ha. 1t is not o~f::course the expec-
tation that stock can be shipped
a long distance in this manner,
but it is practicable, so the pro-
motors claim, 10 ship stock dis
tances of so miles, or even more in
some localities, where stock has to
be driven that distance to shipping
centers of prominence. Fol- in
stance, interurban lines out of
Cheyenne, or Sheridan, Wyo.,
would pick up a large business of
this character, as well as inter
urban lines between South Oma-
ha and points within a radius OF
80 and IS miles. Arguments now
being advanced in favor of inter
urban railways are rapidly bring
ing the farmer element to the sup
port of such companies as are be-
ing locally organized and there is
every reason to believe that next
year will witness Il remarkable
amount of construction of trolley.
lines throughout the west. Their
effect on the markets will be inter
estiug to both shippers and buy
ers. By their means small lots
can be sent to common ceuters
whence they will be shipped in
with other consignments. The
markets will be more evenly stock
ed and prices consequently more
steady.
Market conditions the past week
have been rather favorable to the
shipper. Receipts were compare
lively light and the tend of the
prices was consequently slightly
upward.
Cornfed steers have been few
in number and as high as S6.05
was obtained for them. Good to
choice cattle have ranged from
1913 to S6 10; fair to good So to
SIS. Is, with short fed cattle from
S. downwards. The cow market
has been active, prices showing a
net gain of % to 40 cents. Good
to choice sell from 50 Is to $3.l5
and Gamers and cutters from $l.75
to 1925.
In the hog division the packers
were bearish all over the country
and prices did not show the strong
tendency of the cattle lines. The
bulk has sold from 1924 to $5.579,
with a top at $500.
While sheep receipts have been
liberal the demand for good stuff
has been equal to the supply.
Quotations: good to choice year
lings, S3.65 to $685.; fair to good,
$40 to S3.65; good to choice
wethers $3.25 TO $3.50; good to
choice SO to $3.50; good to choice
lambs, $3.50 to 81 80; feeder lambs,
1925 to $40; breeding ewes S3to
1926.

LARGE CORN OUTPUT
Factories at vinton, Ia. turn Out Twelve
Million Cans Of that Article Last
Month.

To j. :. Stanley who is inter
ested in the Iowa Canning Co,
with factories at Vinton, La Porte,
Garrison, and Shellsburg, Ia, we
are indebted for the following art
icle, which appeared in the Vinton
Eagle, and which will give an idea
of the Iowa corn output:
The corn canning season has
closed, and notwithstanding all its
discouragements it has been a
successful one. The fore part of
the season was discouraging as the
weather was anything but favor
able to good growth. The month of
July was especily discouraging. 1t
WAS too cool for rapid growth such
rs needed for sweet corn and when
the first of August came and it
WAS about time to think of com
mencing the pack it was hard OF
tell whether there would be a
good crop u not.
The crop is usually ready for
packing abunt the Sth of August
but it was the Doth of the month
before work commenced this year
The month of August however
did the business, aud the crop
developed into rs fine a one as
the factories ever had. The corn
is well developed and the pack is
one of the best ever put up. The
corn weighed out from three to
five tons to the acre and of fine
quality.
Some trouble was experienced
from inability. to get cans. All
the factories had stored about to
the limit OF cans but by the mid
die of the pack it was shown that
the crop would be much larger
than was anticipated. More cans
were ordered but the can factories
had hard work to furnish them as
fast as needed, which caused some
delay and confusion On account
of this aud the different paintings
maturing so close together, the
season was somewhat shortened.
The factories of both the Iowa
and Vinton companies closed down
last Friday and Saturday. Vinton
and vicinity is the corn packing
center of Iowa. The Iowa Com
pany has plants at Vinton, La
Porte, Garrison and Shellsburg.
The Ninton Co, has a plant at
Vinton. The following list the
pack put up in round numbers:
Ninton Canning Co. (home
plant between 100000 and B.
100000.
Iowa Canning Co.: home plant,
100000; La Porte plant, $780,
600; Garrison plant, 100000;
Shellsburg plant, 100000.
The total output will overrun
these figures somewhat and will
make IA grand total of close to
twelve million cans. This will
make in freight for the Rock Is
land road 604 cars, or "a trains of
25 ears each.
