RUBBER
PLANT NOT LOOKED UPON AS
SOURCE OF GREA? AMOUNT
OF PROFIT IN WYOMING.
Prof. Aver Nelson of the Botanical
Department of the University As
serts That While It Is Found In
This State It Is Not Susceptible of
Very High Cultivation.

Prof. Aven Nelson, professor of bot
the Rocky Mountain herbarium. says
he has little faith in the possibility of
the so-called rubber plant, about which
the Denver papers are saying so much.
He does not doubt any of the state
ments made there. but believes they
do not apply to Wyoming. While a
are found in this state, some of them
rear Laramie peak and others in the
Platte valley, the Centennial valley
producing one species in considerable
quantity. he does not know where the
profit would come from cultivating
them for the rubber said to be contain
ed in their roots.
Prof. Nelson smiled as he read from
a clipping from the Denver News of
Sunday of the discovery of the rubber
in the plant having been made from
persons chewing it. He says the
plants of the species with which he is
familiar have a very bitter resinous
enjoy ana he doesn't believe II would
do it for sport. From handling the
plants in their preparation for use in
the herbarium he says he had trouble
washing the gum from his fingers, and
that to taste it will leave the taste in
the mouth for some time. The article
from the News is as follows:
Manufacture of rubber by mechani-
cal extraction from the "actinella
richardsonia." better known as a COM

ton with prospects OF incorporation by
the latter part of the week. AS soon
as incorporated it is the intention of
The company to erect extraction plants
in various parts of Colorado where the
weed grows. After that a plant for
the manufacture of rubber will be
erected in Denver.
The Denver plant will cost about
$25 900 and will employ in the neigh
borhood of 100 men. At first the en-
tire plant will be devoted to the man
ufacture of rubber tires. Later it is
proposed to branch out into the general
rubber business.

DR.. Ringolsky to a reported: 1t

against this method was its expense
and a coloring which it carried with it.
The coloring deprecated its value.

BOUNTY APPROPRIATION
ALMOST EXHAUSTED.

More than 100 coyotes are being
killed weekly in Laramie county, the
most thickly populated of the state,
while in other counties the number is
much larger. Ranchmen are unable to
account for the great number of beasts
o infesting the range. as during the
last year they have been hunted relent-
lessly, the state having paid out nearly
$40 900 in ten months in bounty for
their hides. The bounty appropriation
is almost exhausted, and when it is pro.
fessional trappers will cease operating
and the prediction is made that the
country will be fairly overrun by the
pests.

Fred Boughton Weeks. of the United States Geological Survey, has done a work that will be of great value to the student who desires to keep pace with the progress of science. It will serve him as a guide to the latest knowledge of the subjects which it covers.
 The biblicgraphy consists of full titles of separate papers. arranged alphabetically by authors names, an abbreviated reference to the publica- ton in which the pape- is printed and a brief description of the con tents. Each paper is numbered for inCex reference.
 The index is preceded by a classi- fled key. in which are shown the sub ject headings, their subdivisions and arrangement Refer ence is made in each entry by authors name and number of article in the biography.
 This is the latest of a series of an nual bibliographies prepared solely from publications received by the H. brary of the United States Geologl- cal Survey. On January 1, 1903, MT Weeks was placed in charge of the Survey library and began to make an effort to procure the publications which were not noticed in bibliogra- phies of previous years. Many of these are noted in the current bi5li- ography, which is listed among the Surveys publications as Bulletin No. 240. Mir. John M.
