Much Snow in Upper Country.

A. w. Ainsworth and his pas
sengers report a very heavy snow
fall in the country from Cedar
creek up to the tie camp. The
stage that left here last Saturday
morning encountered severe
snow storm at WANTS ranch.
From there on to Ten Mile they
encountered huge drifts frequent.
Iy and at one time they had to
work for half an hour to get u
horse, that had fallen in the snow.
up onto its feet again. They did
not reach Ten Mile until !
O'Clock Saturday night. The
next day they were until 3 o'clock
making their way to the tie camp,
n distance of only six miles. The
depth of the snow can be imagin-
ed when it is said that in the old
road. worn as it WAS by travel. the
whit1e-tre. s were two feet under
snow rs the horses walked-or
rather wallowed along.
On their return the snow gave
out when they got within n few
miles of Saratoga. and the sled
came into town on the bare
ground. 1t was a very hard trip
for all parties.

Presbyterian Church Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the
Presbyterian church was held on
Thursday evening last. Reports
from the different organizations
were read showing a substantial
advance all along the lines. The
report of session showed an adj
dition of II, with two dismissions,
leaving the net gain Is members.
The Sabbath School held 90 SEES
sions during the year with 6
teachers, 3 officers and an enroll
ment of 80 pupils. The report
expressed the appreciation of ex-
cellent work of the choir under
the leadership of Mrs. Dyer, to
whose untiring energy much of
the success was due. The Ladies'
Aid Society, whose object is to
aid in church furnishing and
benevolences, presented a most
encouraging report. The mem
bership at the close of the year
numbered %, while cash receipts
amounted to Sl06.50. The lad
les have planned and carried out
some very successful entertain
ments during the year.
The Board of Trustees reported
the finances of the church in a
very satisfactory condition, the
mortgage on the parsonage hav-
ing been cancelled this month.
Some church improvements were
decided upon for the coming
year in order to complete the
church and make it more COM
Portable. The young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor re-
ported an increasing interest in
the devotional meetings aud an
increase of 10 members.

The School Entertainment

Prof. Stearns and the teachers,
Miss Brown Miss Rowen and
Miss Sanders, are hard at work
training the school children for
their coming entertainment, which
is to come off in about ten DAYS.
These entertainments have al
ways been of p very interesting
character, and the one now in
preparation promises to be of
more than usual interest. The
scholars are all taking hold Of the
work with n will, for they are
anxious to make a good impress
sion, as well as to secure a fund
for the purchase Of a large school
house bell, which they all feel the
need of very much.
Prof. Srearns is making a sue
cess of his work in the manage
ment of the school. The children
in the High School room, over
which he presides, are all very
bright, energetic scholars and are
making remarkable progress
The same can be said of all of the
other grades, and it would be
difficult to secure "A better corps
of teachers than are now employ
ed in the Saratoga school.

TO HUNT FOR WILD HORSES
A Party Of Saratoga Men Will Endeavor
to Catch Wild Horses in the Hay
Stack Hills. North Of Rawlins- A Band
of From 5000 to 5000 in That Vicinity.

OF From 5000 to 5ooo In That Vicinity.
A j.. Kennaday, William West,
and Frank Duffy left Saturday
morning, with two wagons, ten
head of horses, and a complete
winter camp outfit, for the Hay
Stack hills. north of Rawlins.
where they will endeavor to catch
and tame wild horses.
Many years ago George Ferris,
of Ferris Haggarty fame, used to
range his horses in that country
Once every year the horses were
rounded up. corralled and the
young stock branded. After
years of freedom the horses be-
came So wild that it was impossi-
Bile to corral them, and they have
been allowed to run at large ever
since. They have increased enor.
mously. until now they number
from 5000 to 5000.
The county is a barren desert,
many miles in extent, with a
few hills, that look, in the dis
lance, like hay stacks, hence the
name, Hay Stack Hills" and
Hay Stack Country" On this
vast plain the horses have lived
many years, in perfect freedom,
and have, in consequence, inbred,
until the younger stock is small,
though hardy. There are, how
ever, said to be many fine horses
in the band, that are from six to
ten years of age. and these are
well formed, large and smooth.
for the original stock was of the
best.
The boys will endeavor to catch
the best of the bunch, out of the
bands they will encounter, halter
break and tame them sufficiently
to be able to ship them east and
sell them.
There is much complaint about
these bands of wild horses. They
are very swift and wild, and when
domesticated animals get with
them there lis no way to ever re.
cover them, for they seem to be
come as wild, in "a hours. as the
band with which they have asso-
ciated themselves, 1t is also said
that the stations i'll these bands
will not permit of the cutting out
the bunch of any stray horse that
may get with them. So a man
must stand still and see valuable.
animals, staid work horses, van.
ish into the desert, as wild as the
band they have attached them
selves to.
For this reason it is said that
hunting parties, made up of cow
boys. and ranchmen have, from
time to time, gone into the Hay
Stack Country, with the deliber-
ate intention of hunting and
staying Ms many of these wild an
imals as possible, hemmiug them
up and shooting down as many as
possible. These wild horses are a
menace to the ranchmen and
stockmen. who live on the out
skirts of the desert for once a
horse, or a bunch of horses, stray
within their range, they are gone
past recovery. For this reason
every one interested will welcome
their destruction with pleasure.

A II FOOT LEAD
ON JACK CREEK
Messrs. Honchen and Flamme Have En-
~oounterea a Strong Vein in the Congo
Group Two and Ore Half Miles North
Of Dillon.

Messrs. Honchen and Flamme
are in town with their pockets
full of rocks and have the best
news that has reached Dillon this
winter. They have encountered n
twelve foot vein of quartz with a
number of heavy seams of rich
ore. Properly speaking, they
have found where the vein dips
with the formation. They have
been following "A sean. heavily i'm
pregnated with iron, running al
most horizontal and which they
regarded rs a very favorable indi-
cation. This week they reached
the point where this dipped with
be general formation and there
WAS the vein. They have cross-
cnt the lead and started a drift
on the hanging wall.
The ore is rich sulphide or bor-
onitr. very similar to that found
IN the Ferris Haggarty. Jack
Doyle, former superintendent of
the big mine, who with Ed. Hag-
garty first uncovered the ore, says
that the rock brought by Messrs.
Honchen and Flamme is identical
with that encountered by him and
Mr.. Haggarty.
The entire lead is full of copper
and there are several thick seams
of the richer material and the en-
tire vein is suitable to ship, but
further development is sure to
find improvement. The walls are
solid and clearly defined and all
of the indications are of the most
favorable character. 1t is the in
tention of the wner to drift to
discover the best looking point in
the ore chute and then sink a
Wine. They will push the work
right along and will have ore
blocked out before summer comes.
The discovery was made in an
incline and tunnel and is about
60 feet from the surface as they
went The incline WIS started
last October and was driven at
about As degrees. About the first
of December a streak of iron was
reached and the work followed
this which run almost horizontal
and has continued in this course
until it turned down this week in
contact with the vein.
The property is not likely to, be
worked extensively from this in.
cline as there is an ideal tunnel
site on the claims in which depth
can be gained and good drainage
secured by comparatively little
work. The most important adj.
vantages in connection with this
property are the timber and water
in iuexhaustible quantities right
at hand and easily available.
There is a good sized lake above
the claims that would furnish
water and power sufficient for all
purposes and more lakes are To-
Gated just below.-Doublejack.
From Another Source.
c. r. Ferris, of Dillon, passed
through here yesterday, on his
way to Rawlins He had a sack
full of the ore with him, which he
was taking out for exhibition and
analysis. Mr.. Ferris said:
THE strike in the Congo is, in
my estimation, the uncovering of
a second Ferris Haggarry mine.
The lead is at least fifteen feet
where it has been encountered. 1t
is a bonanza and no mistake. The
entire lead matter runs well in
copper, but there are rich streaks
of sulphides, bornite, and matter
containing silver, lead and gold.
The copper will run 30 per cent.
The lead will undoubtedly grow
in richness as depth is gained, and
the Congo is a property that will
surely Re heard from in the flu
ture."

THE season of catching cold is upon
j us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh. the
most common and dreadful Of diseases. is
cold. -,
This is the way the chronic catarrh- gen.
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up, full feeling in the head
and sore, infamed throat
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used never fails to cure common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle is necessary to complete cure
Peruna has cured cases innumerable
Of catarrh of twenty years, standing.
It is the best, if not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds In Watch Cases.

Frauds In Watch Cases.
According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, q ffty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city secreted in a
bale OF hay of eighty pounds.
InlS IS not as bad as finding lump Of
lead OF nearly one-haf the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter OF the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is Sc.
creted until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found Sc
GREETED behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
W. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
Deleve that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fneness of watch cases.
Another trick Of the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with a twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gen.
orally sent G, o. d., and if the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear Is not in existence.
The Dueber-Hampden Watch Company
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business.

Necessity for Protein.

The most expensive element in the
feeding Of dairy cows, at least in good
crop years, is protein. This is the
element that goes to make up the
lean meat, tendons, hair, wool, and
so on. In the milk it. is in the form
Of casein and albumen. Without pro-
tein there can be no development of
the frame. and when little protein is
fed the animal produced will be over
fat but not large. It is therefore abb
solutely necessary that the protein
balance of the feed be maintained,
that we may have well-built and
strong animals. Since the advent OF
the Jersey COW in this country, it
has been observed that her size has
greatly increased. This has been due
to the greater amount Of protein OBJ.
tainable here than was generally fed
during the development Of this race
Of cows on its native island. But as
q usual thing in all countries, the
tendency has been to feed too little
protein and too much carbohydrate
material. Fortunately, in the last dec
ade Of years, the clovers, soy beans.
COW peas and other crops rich in pro-
tein have received an unusual amount
Of attention, with the result that there
has been an improvement In feeding
ALL along the line. #
