WILL PROTECT STREAM
Eneampment smeltes Management Ex-
press Intention to Take Care
Of Tailings.

The Encampment smelter peo-
pie have given assurance that the
tailings from hat institution will
not be allowed to run into the
Encampment river. This assur-
ance comes from Mr.. Raymond,
the manager. Mr.. Ramona pas
sed through Saratoga Monday, on
his way to Encampment. In con
nection with the matter he said:
at has always been the inten
ton of the smelter management to
take care of the tailings from the
concentration, and prevent the po-
luton of the water below that in
stitution. We We're depending
upon water power last year, and
toward the end of the S the
water got so low we could not run
the tailings across the creek. so
we had to allow them to run into
the river.
But we are now putting in
steam power, and will be able in
future to take care of the refuse
from the concentrator. Even if
we had the right to run our tail
ings where we pleased we would
not run them into the river. for
we know that it would soon ruin
the water for any purpose, as well
as killing all the fish in the stream.
1t is to our interest to retain the
good will of the people of this
valley, and they can lest assured
that we are not going to allow the
operation of the smelter plant to
Interfere with either the water or
the fish in the Encmapment or
Platte rivers"
This statement on the part of
Mr.. Raymond will be very graft
flying to the entire country. There
is no question but what the pres
ent law is adequate to protect the
people against any pollution of
the waters of the streams here, but
this voluntary assurance on the
part of the smelter people will be
accepted by them in good faith,
for they believe they will be lived
up to the letter.

THE SUN SHINES FOR ALL.
HORSES ON SNOW SHOES
Unique Way Of Packing Horses in Win
ter Horses Soon Become as Ex-
pert as the Men.

The Carbon Timber CO., recent,
ly transported 30 of eggs il
to the Encampment tie camp OF
the head waters of the Grand En-.
campment river, by means of hors-
es on snow shoes. The eggs were
taken to the half way house be.
tween Encampment and the tie
camp, and from there in. a dis
lance of seventeen miles, they
were packed on horses shod with
snow shoes. This was done dur
ing the month of February, over
seven feet of snow.
Dwellers in the Rocky Noun
tains, especially the mining and
tie camps. have to resort to many
and strange devices to supply
themselves, during the heavy
SHOWS of winter, with the necessi-
ties of life. Now and then. when
it is possible, they get a taste of a
few fuxuries. Large amounts of
supplies are brought in during
the fall by freight teams, but
it is rare that some particular line
of supplies is not neglected, and
runs short during the long winter
that closes in early in October or
November of each year.
After winter has set in, good
and hard. there is little communi-
cation with the outside world, en-
cept through the tri-weekly mail
that is brought to the camp on
snow shoes by some hardy mail
carrier, who takes his life in his
hands every time he attempts to
cross the range in a blizzard.
In the tie camps. scattered here
and there through the mountains
are many Swedes-expert tim
Der men. having followed that oc-
cupation in their native land. In
consequence they become famil-
lar with every device used to over
come deep SHOWS. One of these
is travelling on skees, Or snow
shoes. Not only are they, them
selves very expert in %traversing
long stretches of snow covered
timber lands, but they also teach
horses to travel on a kind of snow
shoe, made especially for the pur-
pose. The horse snow shoe is
made of a strong board, ten inch
es wide and eighteen inches in
length, This is strapped securely
to the horses foot, and he very
soon becomes so expert on them
he al follow a man anywhere
in the mountains, Shod in this
manner a horse will carry from
one to two hundred pounds any
where, and over snow of any depth.

ming about o'clock A. Litton shot and
killed Fl. B. Green at Aleman, sta
tion on the Santa Fe, ten miles south
of here. The full particulars cannot
be learned, but the supposition is that
Litton was intoxicated and angry
with Green because the latter had
been placed in charge of the G. w.
Linger ranch, day or two previous,
which place Litton had held until this
time.
Litton is regarded as bad char.

apprehended.
