NOTES ON THE
PACIFIC COAST

Some of the inhabitants of Az
alon, especially the small boys. al
most live in the water. The tenn
perature of the water is such that
they can battle the year round
without discomfort. There are
perhaps a half dozen or more of
the boys, from ten to fifteen years
of age, that make big money div
ing for nickels and dimes thrown
into the water by tourists. These
boys came along side the CabriIlo
in canoes and row boats. when we
were getting ready for the return
voyage and were clamorous to
show their skill in catching a nick
el thrown into the water before it
could reach the bottom. The wa
ter was from &c to 50 feet iii
depth there, yet as clear as crys-
tai. You would suppose that a
piece of money thrown into the
water would sink Immediately to
the bottom. but it won't. 1t turns
and twists and angles slowly down
and a quick diver can catch it be-
fore it has gone down over ID OF
20 feet. To do this a boy has &c

SIERRA MADRE RESERVE
Will Take in all Of the Continental Di-

Added Soon.

Nearly all of the timbered por-
ton of the continental divide IN
Wyoming has been Withdrawn
from entry by Commissioner Rich
ards. of the General Land Office,
and will shortly he erected into
the Sierra Madre forest reserve
Government agents have been i'll
this country during the past few
months. making careful sur
veys of the timbered portion OF
those mountains and, upon the re-
port to tho general land office. the
commissioner took steps to have
the land withdrawn from entry,
This reserve will probably he
under the supervision of Capt. Da-
Wis. who is now the superintend-
ent of the Medicine Bow forest
reserve. which takes in a very
large scope of country both in
Wyoming and Colorado.
The creation Of this in
sures the preservation of the tim
Der in the continental divide. not
only from wanton destruction by
timber thieves, but from fire, to
which it has for many years been
a prey. Under the new rules and
regulations now being formulated.
and to be devised. miners and
ranchmen will be enabled to have
free use of the timber. under ceT-
tain restrictions, which will not
work any hardship on them, yet
preserve the timber and promote
its growth. as we'll as re.forest
those portions that have been
burned over in the past.

BOUGHT A NEW HAY BALER

Larson Brothers nave a new
Eclipse hay baIer. They brought
it up from the railroad last Thurs
day and took it on out to the
ranch Friday. This baler, so the
boys say, is guaranteed to do good
work. In fact all you have to do
is to take it out to the hay stack,
hitch it with a halter aud then 90
off and leave it alore-it will bale
the hay, stack the bales up, sell
them. put the money in your
pocket and send a small boy after
the team to haul it to the next
ranch. The boys say if you don't
believe this, just give them IA trial.

CONDITION OF ROY WILCOX

The condition of Roy Wilcox,
who is suffering from typhoid fe-
yer, remains unchanged. His fe-
yer has been very high, ranging
around lO2 to l04 for the past two
weeks. He is now in a very EN-
aciated condition, and it is not SO
much a question of overcoming

CONTRACT LET
For the Grading Of S &
E Road, Walcott to
Saratoga.
OVER Two HUNDRED TEAMS
Will be at Work Within Ten Days To
be Completed to Ercampment by
March 81, 1906.

The contract for the remaining
grading of the Saratoga d En-
campment road, from Walcott to
Saratoga, as well AS from Saratoga
to Encampment, has been let.
Within the next ten days more
than 200 teams will be at
work, completing the grade from
Walcott to this place.
Arrangements have already
been made for the steel with which
to lay the track, and the work of
laying it will follow close on the
completion of the grade. This
will be necessary in order that the
pile driver may be able to reach
points on the line where its ser
vices will be required.
The contract for the grading OF
the line from here to Encampment
has also been let, and it is to be
completed by the same tim e, Mar.
81, 1906. 1t is the intention of
President Chattertop to have the
entire line completed to Encamp-
ment by March 81, unless the win
ter should turn out to be so severe
that the work cannot be done. an
event that is not likely to occur.
The line of survey from this
place to the mouth of Grand En-
campment river has been changed
slightly in order to avoid damag-
ing some of the large ranches Just
south of here. Instead of passing
east of the ranch house of l.. q.
Sterrett the line will run some 300
fset to the west, thus doing the
place very little damage. By this
same change in line the road will
almost miss the ranch of Capt.
Davis, and will cut off but few
acres on the ranch of r. a. Day.
In consequence of these slight
changes the men named are much
delighted.
President Chatterton and Gen
eral Manager Hohl are still here
and have been busy looking over
the line from here south and fix
ing up the right of way, and re-
port that they have been very
successful in securing deeds from
the ranchmen. They are very
much pleased with the present
outlook.

The ~"Spinsters Return. as

Capt. Rhodes as Prof. Dinglespiel
was a very great success and the
answers he got from his hypno-

audience, which enioved the sly

HAPPY JACK MAKES GREAT STRIKE

One of the richest and most i'm
portant gold strikes ever made in
Wyoming has been reported by an
old prospector named Happy Jack
who was grubstaked by A. Olson,
Swan Solume, ID. Nj. Wilt and p.
y. Short, the men in charge of the
Hog Park tie camp of the Carbon
Timber company. The find was
made on the continental divide
near Hog Park. Jack brought in
specimens of the ore which ran
$4,000 in gold and 1000 ounces of
silver. The richness of the strike
was discredited until an examina-
ton had been made by the owners
when il was confirmed. The vein
is six feet in width and IL tunnel
l25 feet in length is to be run to
cut it at a depth of $50 feet, the
vein being found on the side of a
