They AL Went Fishing.

Saratoga was almost deserted
last Sunday 1t was the first day
OF May, and the first day that one
could legally fish, under the stat
utes, though some of the fisher
men had been stretching the law
like the dickens for ten days pre-
vious. On Sunday morning, as
soon as it was light enough, fish
ermen, with rods and creels. could
be seen going in all directions,
some on foot, some on horseback.
bound for distant pools, and others
in huggies and carriages. They
stood not on the order of their GO
ing, but went" each one afraid
the other would catch all the fish
before he got there.
Along toward evening these
eager fisherman could be seen
coming back, some with we'll. filled
creels and happy faces, but by far
the greater majority of them look
ing very tired and c%restfallsn, slip
ping along quietly, trying to get
in, and divest themselves of their
damp clothing, and get out before
any one could yell out derisively,
where's your ish?" 1t was rath-
er amusing to note The blank ex-
preston that would come over the
faces of those who had not even
gotten a rise, when asked what
luck they had had.
There were a number of success
full parties, however, and they took
the middle of the street, ostenta-
tiously Juggling their full creels
into view, and they are still busy
telling of the days sport, and
dreaming of the splendid success
every night. No back alleys for
them; the more public their entry
the better, and the way the air
was befogged with frying fish in
some quarters, Monday morning,
was a prolific for profanity
in other parts of the town.

has been engaged the past ten
days in the making of a large map
Of the Medicine Bow Forest Re
serve The work is a large under
taking, the scale being 2 inches to
the mile, which makes the map

done and shows the contour of the
streams, the location of all sur

etc. 1t will be one of the complet-
est and most comprehensive maps
ever made of that country and a
valuable addition to the office of

THE RANKIN MINE
May Make Rawlins a Second Butte-Is
Employing a Larger Force Of Men and
Will Make Regular Shipments.

Returns from the shipments of
copper ore from the Rankin mine
are giving better satisfaction than
was expected as the ore is proving
richer than was anticipated.
Mr.. Rankin informs US that he
is preparing to put a much larger
force to work and will continue to
make regular shipments all sum
mer. The company is especially
fortunate in having a mine which
is rich enough on top to pay for
the development work as it pro-
crosses and it is believed that be-
fore the end Of the year it will
have n of the richest mines in
the state.

mine within the past week say
that there is every reason why
Rawlins should soon become
a big city as a result of the open.

RACE FOR LIFE

FAINT Child Of Mr.. and Mrs. George

Over Thirty Miles in an Hour and a
Half-child Out Of Danger.

Wheatland, April 30.-The lit
tie daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Milne, of Chugwater,
came near losing her life Tuesday.
Several months ago Mrs. Milne
put out some strychnlne in meal
for rats. Little Mary, going to
the cellar for cakes discovered
the meal, and ate quite a quantity
of it. She WAS soon thrown Tito
commissions, and a hurried call
was sent in by telephone to DR..
Croskery of this place.
After one of the fastest drives
ever made in this section, the doc
tor found the child still alive, but
suffering untold agony, going
from one CONFUSION to another.
but by severals hours of heroic eff
fort on the part of those present
she a brought out OF danger.
The drive of the doctor from
Wheatland to the Two Bar ranch
on Chugwater, nearly thirty-two
miles away, is the cause of much
discussion and comlnent here.
The best horses Of the Two Bar
company and of friendly neigh
bors along the route were placed
at the doctors disposal, and we're
waiting in relays every few miles.
The roads were in good coudi-
ton and every effort was strained
to make the trip before the poison
should have exerted its fatal eff
feet.
The trip was made in one hour
and thirty minutes, which is con-
siderably faster than the time
made between the same points by
the trains of the Colorado and

The New Phillips Coal Bank.

j. a. Phillips was in Tuesday
from his new coal bank, which is
situated about a half a mile north
west of the old bank, which he
was compelled to abandon. be-
cause it was on railroad land and
coniicted with the lease held by
Mr.. Clemmons, DIR. Price, ct al.
Mr.. Phillips says he is now in 40
feet in the tunnel on the new
bank. They are running a day
and night shift and pushing work
as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Phillips says the vein in
the new bank now AZ
inches, which is an increase of -
inches over the old mine. The
quality of the coal is fully as good
as in the old mine, and Mr.. Phil
lips says the electric light plant
claims that it is really better
steaming coal than that from the
old mine. Mr.. Phillips says they
will be ready by next Monday to
load all the teams that come to
tho bank for coal. There is no
doubt but what the coal ia Of the
best quality and the mine a much
better one than the old workings.

STEEL RAILS
Are to Bind Laramie and the Saratoga
Valley Together -Gold Hill and
Douglas Creek Gold Fields to be pevel-
oped.

The most important occurrence
in Wyoming's industrial life thus
far this year was the recent arriv.
al at Laramie of a shipment of
steel rails for the Laramie,
Hahn's Peak d Pacific's first di-
vision, Laramie to Centennial.
This item is vastly important to
Albany and Carbon counties
and to the entire State for that
matter, for it proves conclusively
what the Industrial journal has
always said-that the firm Of Is.
a Van Horn q Co., the Boston
and Laramie bankers and pro-
moters, meant business when they
announced that a railroad would
be built southwest from Laramie.
The arrival of the steel has also
had the effect of greatly stimulat-
ing the confidence of a majority
of the people of the State in the
enterprises confidence that the
energetic bankers have enjoyed
for many years; and it has also
disproved the Oft repeated asser-
ton of the few Knockers that the
enterprise was only a bubble
which would in due time burst.
We learn that other shipments
of steel rails will continue to ar
rive at Laramie until there is suf-
ticient material on hand to Justify
the DesinninS of track laying
The division between Laramie
aand Centennial will be lail with
rails and placed in operation this
summer. The line will pay hand
somely from the start, for it pen
etrates a region rich in agricul-
ture, stock-raising and numbering,
and there are scores of mines in
the Douglas Creek and Gold Hill
districts that are only awaiting
the coming of the iron horse to
begin shipments of rich ore to the
smelter.
With the completion of this
road to Centennial a boom will be
launched in southern Wyoming
that will surpass anything of its
kind heretofore Witnessed in the
State. Property OF all kinds will
double and treble in value in a
few days, and those persons who
are fortunate enough to possess
stock in the numerous enterprises
that have been established, along
the Laramie Plains Line" or as
it is more commonly called, The
Copper Belt Railroad will find
themselves rich beyond their most
sanguine expectations. Ranch
men will have a bigger and bet
ter market for their hay and
grain, while owners of mining
claims will discover that they own
properties which are in demand,
and the ores from which can be
taken out, shipped and treated at
great profit.
The completion of the first
thirty miles of the Laramie,
Hahn's Peak & Pacific will do all
of this, and even more, but of this
we will speak later on. At pres
ent the prospects r indeed Hat
