OUR DELEGATION IS
ALWAYS ON THE ALERT

sentative Mondell have each, since
their arrival in Washington, made ap-
plication to the interior department
for the examination of proposed irri.
CATION projects in Wyoming. Exam.
nations of these projects will be made,
but it is doubtful if the reclamation
service can undertake to build them
in the immediate future. Wyoming
has contributed about 3 per cent of the
reclamation fund and has already been
allowed 10 per CEN of this fund for
irrigation works. Other western states
are extremely jealous of Wyoming, on
account of the large apportionment Of
funds made to the state, and the rec
lamation service cannot consistently
give Wyoming additional funds until
the other states catch up. While Wyo-
ming has been apportioned over
SO, 000, 900 for irrigation works, the
states of Utah and Oregon have re-
ceiyed nothing. Colorado has re-
ceived but So, SOC, zoo, Idaho but IS, 000,-
600, and other states in proportion.
Eventually all the irrigation projects
in Wyoming not absorbed by private
capital, probably, will be undertaken
by the reclamation service, but, as
stated, this will not be until some of
our neighbors catch up with us.

to Boston and upon the strength of this
the action was taken looking to the
creation Of a concentrator. Mr.. Beeler
visited some of the eastern members
of the company and was able to satisfy
them of the richness of the ore, all of
which will be treated on the spot.
DR.. Swigart, the secretary of the
company, was authorized to inform the
Boston syndicate that its offer for the
treasury stock, at an advance of so
per cent of the company's selling price,
made by telegraph yesterday, would be
accepted for a limited amoun of the
stock, and the acceptance went for
ward by telegraph. The trustees de
cided not to dispose of the whole block
of treasury stock, even al the big ad-
vance offered by the syndicate.
Mr.. Beeler was able to convince
some of the trustees of the richness of
the ore and the a%dvisability for the
present of concentrating It and send
ing it to a smelter, trusting to the fut-
ure for a smelter of their own. The
whole of the material being taken out,
1t is believed, will yield 5 per cent of

Everything needed for the manufac.
ture of glass is at our doors, and ac.
cording to a statement made in this
Office today by Hon. S. H. Campbell,
glass can be manufactured here in Lar.
annie cheaper than anywhere else in
the country. Mr.. Campbell says that
with the natural advantages here, and
with a capital of 500, 900, the company
could make 20 per cent more on the in.
vestment here than at any other glass
making center in the United States.
Mr.. Campbell late yesterday after
noon received a certificate for a silver
medal from the st. Louis Worlds fair
officers on glass manufactured in Lar
annie. He has also received the first
prize at the Worlds fair at Chicago.
The glass shown was manufactured
here in 1888, when Mr. John Davis was
the manager of the works, and repre-
SCENTS the average output of that fac.
tory from material gathered wholly in
Albany county except the fuel, which
came from Rock Springs. Mr.. Camp
bell this morning furnished the follow
ing facts in connection with the manu-.
~facture of window glass.
At c~offeyville, Kan, where they have
natural gas, the cost of soda is $3.50
a ton, sand, $3.50 a ton, and lime, "a a
ton. Here the same materials could
be furnished at the factory at So, 80
cents n 80 cents, respectively. In
the matter of sand, for instance, by
building a tramway to the sand beds
from the factory, it is estimated that
1t could be delivered for Is cents a ton
and lime for almost the same figure,
making a total cost of these materials
SO far below that at Coffeyyille as to
guarantee a very large return on the
capital invested, all things else being
considered.
Mr.. Campbell says that gas can be
manufactured here from Rock Springs
coal as cheaply as the natural gas can
be supplied at Coffeyville, and the gas
is better in quality. There the gas is
piped long distances and is bound to
cost. Here the factory could make its
own gas as pure as it can be produced
anywhere.
In the matter of freight rates, Mr..
Campbell feels assured the railroad
company stands willing to make such
concessions as will warrant the manu-
~facture Of glass and placing it on the
market. Denver is a good point of con.
sumption, and Laramie glass could be
placed on the Denver market, with the
conditions that exist here, at as low
a rate as from any other point in the
country.
Mr.. Campbell believes capitalists in
the east are beginning to realize the
possibilities of Laramie as a glass max
ing center and that within a few
months something will be done looking
to the rehabilitation of the factory
here and the production of glass fol
the whole of the west. A company
should have ample capital, and he be
lieves there will be no lack of divi
dends, once the factory Is opened ant
the product is placed on the market
The glass made here, as will be seer
from its prize winning in the world!
fairs, is of a very high quality. Witt
the bountiful supply of soda, sand
lime, water and fuel at our very doors
there should be no trouble, Mr.. Camp
bell thinks, in enlisting every dollar o
capital needed, once the facts are
brought to the attention of the W
ers of the money.
