lures that they were and are Ill ad-

These are a few of the things that
made 1904 an unusually hard year to
push mining developments.
Yet | have faith that the g~eographi-
cal boundaries of our state do not shut
out all pay mines.
1t would be difficult indeed to show
why these things are so, or point out
the remedy, but some OF the fault can
be laid at the door of all parties in

When the miner and the mine opera
tor confine themselves to more limit
ed fields OF operations, build fewer
plants before establishing the ore
body, determine that a given plant Will
successfully treat a proven ore body

judgment in actual development work,

We believe much more satisfactory re-
done, both for farmers and merchants.
The people of Laramie demand first
class goods only. We have often been
told by travelling men that they cannot
sell anything but high grade goods in
our city.
For the year 1905 we anticipate a
continued development, slow, but sure.
We think that a board of trade would
materially assist for this purpose, and
suggest that the present ''credit asso-
ciation' will be a good nucleus. Among
the tasks for such an organization, we
suggest:
First-Effort to secure more equit-
and eastern points, the rate from Chey-
enne, considering distance, being alto
gether too high, approximating wagon
haul rates.
Second-The early arrangement for
the erection Of a Touring mill, as we
believe that it has been fully demon
strated that wheat of a very good quail
ity can be raised on the Laramie
plains.
Third-An extension of the local
building association, so as to include
ranches and farming lands. We be-
lieve there is a good dea! OF IDLE money
in the city which, if leaned conserya
lively. would greatly assist loaner and
borrower.

1904 AND 1862

There was just one cloud upon the
business Of 1904-the low price OF cat.
tie. During h most of the year cat.
tie, with the single exception Of choice
fat beef, ruled low and this had a de.
pressing effect upon that industry. But
even the cattlemen made money. Most
of them have learned that it is not
we'll to carry all their eggs in one bas-
ket and the result is diversified in,
dustries. Sheep have been high and
WOOL has been high, hence his allied
industry has brought to the ranchmen
of Wyoming a return that has fully
compensated for the low price of cat.
tie. Every product of the ranch and
farm, ave the one article mentioned,
has brought a high price.
Merchants. bankers and business
men generally throughout the state re-
port that 1904 has been a good year.
Locally, our business men affirm thai
their business for the past twelve
months has been fully up to the stand
ard of years past, and they believe
the outlook for the coming year is
brighter.

sents some letters from business men

During M past year we have had
it dem1f su"tsa to a greater degree
than evtr before that the small farm
err can make good money in this val
ley. We have had it demonstrated by
Mr.-E. J. Bell and others that field
peas can be raised for the fattening Of
lambs with great profit. One expert
ment brings another and the ranch
men are awakening to the POSSIBLE
tiles of the soil. They are realizing
that there is much to be made beyond
the mere raising of cattle. horses and
sheep. They are turning their atten-
ton to the raising of higher grades
and are investigating the matter Of
putting them on the market in prime
condition. 1t Is a well known fact
that when orr is high feeders are
low, hence it is we'll to look carefully
into all branches of the business, in
order that our home people may get
the greatest possible return for their
labor.

To The Editor of The Republican:
Believing that the mining industry
of Albany county will some day be the
%county's leading industry, and my be
lief being pretty generally known. you
probably expected, If l complied with
your request for a letter, that it would
be along these lines.
Whether it will be as nice a let
ter as the compliments of the season
demand, or as your readers have rea
scnable rights to expect, only those
who discipline themselves sufficiently
to read it will be able to judge.
During 1904 some material progress
has been made in the industry in this
community, although many things
have occurred to hinder, directly and
indirectly, along that line.
First, it vas presidential year, and a
change of administration was at least
possible, which always tends to unset
tie market conditions at the money
oenters. This is especially true re-
garding industrial stocks, and l think
still more especially true regarding
those of a prospective value.

tacks on "Amalgamated Copper, made

ual to get money from outside the
state.
Again, when we look nearer home
we find many c~ontrlbutory causes
throwing obstacles in the way of ma
terial progress in the pathway of the
mining industry.
Some mining enterprises, started
during the year, on ground admittedly
good. were stupendous failures and
rank frauds. The wrongs and injus.
tice that follow such things are felt,
only by those who are directly and
personally interested and who suffer
direct and personal loss, but all legiti-
mate and worthy mining enterprises
suffer by reason OF the doubt and dis
credit thrown upon the industry in gen.
eral.
Some Of the citizens Of our county,

cially able to help. II they would, are

To the Editor of The Republican.
The manufacture of glass from our
native material in Albany county has
long since passed the experimental
stage. as was demonstrated at the
worlds Columbian exposition in Chi
cago in 1893, when We were awarded
the diploma and medal for the best
glass and glass material, they being in
competition, not only with the United
the whole world.
Albany county has an ineXhaustible
supply of raw materials that are suit
able for the manufacture of any or all
kinds of glass. from the finest cut or
plate glass down the line to the com
mon amber beer bottle. Our soda.
san and lime being of pure quality,
we can make glass equal. if not SUI
perior, to any French or German plate
or cut glass eve put on the market.
We can prove by actual experience,
facts and figures, that we have the
best raw material in the world, and
glass can be manufactured cheaper in
Laramie than any other place in the
Ulited State. n we do not bar the
natural gas district. The raw ma
terial is not a manufactured article,
neither is it a biproduct, but a natural
product given to us by God, and AL
bany county is.the only known place in
the world where we have all the in
gradients that go into the composition
of glass. Our market is one of the
best, as it extends from the Missouri
river to the Pacific coast. There is
no reason why a glass factory cannot
be successfully operated in Laramie,
providing it has sufficient capital to
conduct the business. Therefore, be-
cause of the facts set forth in this
article. We should have a glass factory.
Very truly, S. Fl. CAMPBELL.

him without much ready money.
He will be badly handicapped un-

While We have not heard that the

lieve that they will continue to

If You do not sign with the

Messrs Cox and Shepard the farm

HEAT OF STARS MEASURED
Even Warmth from Arcturus Can Be
Computed by Instrument of
Yerkes' Astronomer.

Prof. Nichols, the astronomer, made
q wonderfully delicate instrument some

it registers the warmth that emanates
from a mans face 2, 1000 feet or more than
a third of a mile away. With this instru-
ment Prof. Nichols tried experiments
in the Yerkes observatory. He selected
the two stars Vega and Arcturus. These
stars are so far away from the earth that
the human mind cannot conceive the
distance. No instrument had ever beer
able to detect the slightest warmth from
them. Prof. Nichols succeeded with his
appliance. He found that Arcturus
sends the earth as much heat as a man
could get from a candle burning six
miles away from him. Vega was found
to send only half as much heat as this.
