New Method Of Locating ore-Bodies.

A new method of electrically
locating ore deposits has lately
been tried in Wales, which is a
practical application of the theory
of wireless telegraphy by earth
conduction. The induction coil
which is used as transmitter has
the terminals of the secondary
connected with two metal stakes
pushed into the soil. Radiating
currents are thus produced which
eau be detected by telephones
attached to similar stakes. Nor
mally the telephone disturbance
is greatest in a line at right angles
to and bisecting the line that joins
the transmitting electrodes. The
presence of ore, however, disturbs
the current distribution, and the
amount of shifting of the point of
maximum disturbance is an index
of the position Of the ore body
sought for. The nature of the
tele phonic sounds is, it is said,
dependent on the depth of the
deposit and ON the mineral rich
ness.

Illustrated Book of Views
by Merritt D. Houghton
Now Out.
A VALUABLE WORK OF ART
And One That Should be Literally Used
in Advertising the Wonderful
Resources Of Wyoming.

The second edition of views in
Southern Wyoming, compiled by
Merritt d. Houghton, the pen
artist, is now out and ready for
distribution. The new edition is
much larger and more complete
than the first and is a work of rare
value, not only as a souvenir, but
as an advertisement of the delight
full resorts, wonderful resources
and development of this compare
lively new country.
The book contains views of i'm
portant mines, developed and
undeveloped, Encampment, River
side, Saratoga, Rawlins, Dillon,
Rambler, Battle, Walcott and
Laramie; a number of important
ranches; prominent men, and
many photographs of mountain
and plain, interspersed with
catchy little side pictures which
portray western life among the
miners and cowboys.
Wyoming is a great state and
needs advertising to develop her
manifold resources, and that is
one point in which we fall below
our neighbor state, Colorado.
Coloradoans hang together and
talk. boost, shout and spend mon
ey for Colorado, consequently you
will find her literature scattered
broadcast over the United States,
and people r bound to patronize
the state most talked about,
Wyoming is much younger than
her sister state. but for all that
we have the most beautiful spots
in the world in which to spend a
few months in the summer,
undeveloped that offer
a fortune if developed sufficiently,
and it does not take a fortune to
develop them, fishing that cannot
be beatten-even in Ruzzard's
Bay, and what these attractions
need is advertising.
Let everyone take hold and
push this thing. Send out Wy
oming literature. Mr.. Houghton
is engaged in excellent work and
should be encouraged by the
hearty patronage of everyone in
this section of Wyoming.

PRELIMINARY HEARING
G. W. Woolsey Pleads Not Guilty But
is Bound Over to The District
Court.

G. w. Woolsey, charged with
felonious assault on l.. q Sterrett
on November LIST, was yesterday
given a hearing, Mr.. Sterrett
being sufficiently recovered to
give evidence in the case.
n. r. Greenfield OF Rawlins,
appeared for the State and +. l..
Blood for the defence. MIR.
Greenfield used three witnesses:
l.. G.. Sterrett, Loren Gross and
DR.. Price. No testimony was
introduced by the defence, who
l tested on a plea of not guilty, and
Judge Green bound Woolsey over
to the District Court on $500
bonds, which were furnished and
Woolsey released.
The testimony introduced by
Sterrett and Gross was practically
the same. Gross was a good wit
ness and told his story in a
straightforward manner. In brief
his testimony is as follows:
Sterrett and Gross rode up TO
the ranch of Winthrop Condict
on Brush Creek, November LIST,
where Woolsey is employed. MIR.
Woolsey and Mr.. Condict were
stringing a barbed wire fence and
the four men talked a few minutes
when Sterrett asked Woolsey why
he had not sent the money to pay
the account, Sterrett alleges
Woolsey owes him for pasturage,
as he had agreed to. Woolsey
denied he owed Sterrett and after
a few heated words Woolsey
grabbed Sterrett's horse by the
bride. Sterrett jumped off and
the two men struck at each other
several times. They clinched and
Sterr-tt stumbled backwards over
a sage brush falling on his back
with Woolsey on top. Gross
alleges that he saw Woolsey reach
around into his pocket, get out his
knife and open it while he had
Sterrett down. Gross and Con
dict then interferred separating
the two men, but not before Ster-
rett had been stabbed three
times.
No testimony was offered by the
defence in rebutal, but they claim
they can prove that Sterrett was
the aggressor and can justify
Woolsey in using his knife on the
grounds of lf-defence.
If this was possible it was GER
tainly a mistake to withhold the
evidence as the matter should have
been settled here and not taken to
the District Court, thereby mater.
tally increasing the costs of the
case.

4 Fine Attraction.

The clever romantic actor, William

drama, "When Louis NJ was King, y

the bonny Sco:ch Knight Durward.
The theme of the piece is q novel one,
and the plot entirely new to the stage.
There is fine heart interest In each
act, while the locale OF the play teens
with the romance and pictures queness

great variety OF characters, the noble
lords and ladies, bold knights in

and priests, Scottish Life Guardsmen

that he intends to leave Alexandria

where the ladies can be taken. Mr..

ought to have q pretty fair idea, that

would not receive patronage enough
