NEW Mill
A CERTAINTY
Meeting in Walls Office Monday
Evening Materialized Into
Organization.
$4,000 CAPITAL
Officers of the Organization Elect
ed and Arrangements Made
to Begin Construction Up
on Building as Soon
as Possible.

Monday evening at a meeting held
in Lawyer Walls Office, the much talk
ed of mill proposition was formulated
into a stock company and the neces-
sary officers elected preparatory to the
fling of articles of incorporation. The
officers elected were Frank Houx, pres
ident: Ed. f. Cheese, secretary and H.
r. Weston, treasurer. All of these
gentlemen are from Cody with the ex-
ception of the secretary who is a resi-
dent of Hedrick, Iowa.
The corporation will be capitalized
at $4,000 paid up capital; all capital to
be paid up at the time the structure is
completed. Details of the proposition
were not taken up at the meeting of
Monday night, but in a general way it
was decided to begin operations as soon
as possible. Mr.. Cheese, the main pro-
motor of the proposition, will return to
his home in Iowa this week, and take
the matter up with several construc-
ton companies in view of letting the
contract SO that work can be started,
the first of the year.. AS soon as work
can be started Mr.. Cheese will return
and remain until the construction is
compile ted.
The building will be three stories in
height, 32-by 4S feet on the ground.
AS yet it isn't decided how the bids
will be allowed, but it will propably be
given in charge of the company who
furnish the machinery. The elevators
aud granaries will not be built until
the mill with all its machinery is COM
pleted. The mill, when completed
will be of 10 barrel capacity, operated
by a fifty horse power motor.
The location of the mill will be upon
the site granted them by the Lincoln
Townsite company on second street,
two blocks north of Sheridan avenue.
The city, as we'll as the Incorporation,
are very grateful to the Lincoln Town
site company for their generosity for
their generosity in granting this site,
for it is felt by one and all that this is
an enterprise of which the town should
be proud.
Mr.. Cheese expresses his sincere APP
probation to the people of Cody and
and especially to those who have pur-
chased stock. for the courteous manner
in which his proposition has been met.

N. B. A. Will Organize,

Robert Darlington, deputy organizer
for the Modern Brotherhood of
America, reports that he will institute
a lodge of that order in Cody about the
first of December. He now has thirty
applicants and expects to have fifty by
the time the lodge is put in. This is a
fraternal life and accident insurance
order of a little over eight years stand
ing. 1t is conducted on the monthly
assessment plan. Up to November LIST
this order had paid losses in full to the
amount of 81, $3.50, GS3. 30, and had a re-
serve fund of 1910, 900. 1t now has
1,649 subordinate lodges in existance
with a total membership of $4,000.
The NJ. B. a. pays for a total perman-
ent disability one-half the face of the
policy; for the loss of an eye, hand,
foot, arm or leg one-fourth of face of
policy: for broken arm or leg one-tenth
of policy and after the member has at
tanned the age of 10 years, one tenth of
the face of the policy is paid each year
for ten years. 1t will be seen that the
plan of this society is a good one and
worthy the. consideration of the people.
The fee to become q charter member of
the lodge here is, 1928, and Mr..
Darlington will be glad to explain the
plan OF insurance to you.

WYOMING IS GREAT STATE
We Need No Boom Advertising
Our Resources Speak For
Themselves.

S. H.. Harding OF Manchester, Wyom-
ing. former member of the Wyoming
legislature and one of the leading
ranch and cattle men Of northern
Wyoming, is in the city, says the
Omaha Bee. Asked regarding Wyom-
ing prospects, he said:
1.-The state is in a ilourishing condi-
tion and all lines of business are thriv-
ing fairly well. What we most need
regarding Wyoming right now is an in
t~elligent comprehension of the vast
capabilities of the state in every line,
agricultural and mineral. Wyoming
does not need any special advertising
in the boom sense.
Its mineral speak for them
selves and their Development will
come in time to be the establishment of
the world. Wyoming, too, is an his
toric land, for from the southern Sec
tions of what is now the state, has rad
lated the civilization and development
of this great western region. Old Fort
Laramie, TO- but a memory, still ex-
lists in name merely as a cattle ranch,
but around the name of h a old fort is
clustered the history of a new empire.
1t was one of the great land marks of
the overland trail. Through it passed
the men who made and founded Ore
gon and who gave California to the
world. The secenic beauties of Wyom-
ing are Incompatible and %unequaled.
In brief, throughout all of Wyoming
there is much to see, to learn and to
esteem for its past and the inevitable
grandeur of its future"

Captain Makes Big Haul.

Captain Rudston returned from 4
country accompanied by his guide, that
veteran hunter Walter A. Kepfbrd.
The outfit consisted of seventy-tivt?
pack horses and II miscellaneous lot q;
blooded saddle stock. AS they wendell
their way down the serpentine trail
leading into Cody on Sunday morning
we counted sixteen elk, four moose,
three mountain lions, six mountain
sheep, two antelope, n silver tail fox,
one badger and the remains of one
gigantic buck deer. rhe latter was
indeed a rare curiosity. When first
discovered he lay asleep on the western
edge or slope OF the Jackson Hole
apparently dead, but by the aid of hi'
muscular contractions of the heart as
he lay stretched at full length on the
snow and strange, from Il medic,
stand point, his appendix was exposed,
giving every evidence hat the aoimal
was in the last stages from an acute
and prolonged attack of appendicitis.
The Captain mounted his tleetest
bronco and with Il ancient battle AK in
hand rushed down the steep bill side
and dispatched his victim. AS a trophy
he brought in his magnificent hide,
his wide spreading horns and the
appendix. The two former he as
sent to the taxidermist and the lar er
preserved in alcohol he has expr.--d
to the London Surgical Institute, u -re
to be made a critical study by the elias
In the interest of suffering humanity.
OF late-the medical journals both
home and foreign have been engaged
in learned and earnest discussion pro
and con as to the wisdom of using the
knife in pronounced cases of acute
appendicitis and the Captain moved
by compassion Tor the unfortunate
victims of this modern malady, wishe
to add his mite to mitigate its present
fatality?

FACTS ABOUT SUNLIGHT
Copper, SeIeneum and Sulphur
Found in Abundant Quantities.

Resources, Sulphur. 1t is under
stood that this product was made q
leading inducement to build Il railroad
into Sunlight.
The deposits of volcanic or native
sulphur are ineXhaustible, aud will be
mined for centuries. The ore is of
singular purity and easy of access.
We understand that an exhaustive en-
pert examination was made and assur-
ance given that one hundred carloads
per day can easily be taken out.
1t about the daily consumption of
sulphur in the United States. Most OF
which is imported, We being unable to
produce more than > per cen of it.
The crude product sells for So per
ton, refined, $50 per ton. All other
nations are situated as we are regard
ing this much needed and most sought
for of all minerals, save Sicily, from
which island the world has been sup
piled for hundreds of years from Mt.
Aetna.

All other volcanic regions have ucen
exhausted in the futile efforts 10 md
volcanic sulphur in quantities large
enough to work.
Commercially, the chief use of sui.
phur in large quantities is in the max
log paper from wood pulp, but II is
used in many other industries.
OF equal value is the immense iron
pyrite beds beneath the sulphur de-
posits, n the escaping fumes, 10Th of
which will be used IL making sui
phuric acid-one of the Creates uses
of which in large commercial quanti-
ties is the refining of petroleum oil.
1t is also used in large quantities Tor
many other purposes.
OJher products of use are known to
be contained in this deposit. Selen-
eum, until recently considered worth
less, but now used TO make the selen-
cum electrical cell, which has made

such advances as have recently aston
ished us. The seleneum cell Is used
in buoys and wireless telegraphy, etc,
the material having the popularity OF
changing itself from Il no~n-conuuctor
during the day to a conductor at night,
thus lighting and exJinguishing ITSELF.
Some of the Sunlight sulphur contains
% pounds of seleneum per ton, which,
if it can be saved, will add to its value
Saleneum is worth about 81 an ounce.
The ore also assays in gold and sill
yer.
Possibly the greatest use of the sui
phur will be in the smelling of the
Sunlight copper ore, the enormous and
valuable deposits OF which are LOGsup-
posed to be surpassed, if equal5u, by
any copper producing district KNOWN.
This property is owned mostly, by
Cody people.

100000 PROJECT
New Bridge Across Shoshone at
Dam--TunneI to Garry Three
Times the Water River
is Now Carrying.

The work preliminary to the con
struction of the i~mpounding dam across
the Shoshone river in the canyon has
begun in earnest The government
engineers are at work every day get
ting the required measurements laid
out on rocky walls of grant and when
the river course is changed to its new
road through Cedar mountain, the ex-
.cavations will start for the foundation
of the big dam.
The capstan is at work moving the
large stones whsch lie in the path of
the iume which will be built to carry
the water from the temporary lumber
dam to the tunnel through Cedar
mountain. Blasting in the granite will
soon be started, and pick and shovel
with their characteristic click and
scrape will soon be heard within the
bowels of the rocky mountain through
which the clear water of the Shoshone
will soon be rushing.
The construction of the dam will re-
quire three years OF time, work neces-
sarily being suspended during the flood
seuson of the year. This fall and win
ter the TUNE and fume will be con-
structed and preparations be made for
the construction of the temporary lum-
Der dam TO be builded several hundred
yards up the stream from the sight of
the permanent dam. AS soon as the
flood season begins and as long as the
river is kept high by melting SHOWS
n rains upon the mountains, work by
the full force of men will be suspended
for the tunnel as constructed llxl29)
will not be of sufficient dimentions to
carry the entire water from the river.
During this time all of the machinery
in the way of derricks and power units
that it is possible to install will be
placed in shape to begin work upon the
excavation for the foundation, as Don as
the river subsidies sufficiently to flow
through the tunnel. The temporary
dam will then be built and excavations
begun.
TO reach bed rock will require an
excavation of boulders and loose roc
to the depth of sixty-five feet. 1t
seems that the river at one time pur-
sued a course somewhat lower than it
does at the present time, and as the
course became higher b%oulders, and
other loose stone filled in to the depth
above mentioned. During the low
water season it is expected that the en-
tire foundation will be constructed,
then work will again be suspended I'M
til the flood waters have subsidized.
AS soon as the water is low enough
that it can be carried by the tunnel,t he
construction work of the main dam will
be begun, and before the flood season
of the third year comes, will be com
pleted.
The dam will be built in circular
form, the convex surface up stream.
Much of the crushing and concrete
mixing will be done above and lowered
down to the workmen below.
This dam, when completed, will be
one of the largest %impounding dams in
the country. And it is only a small
portion of the work which will be done
in this section of Wyoming. The gov
eminent appropriation of $4,000, 900
with the dam costing about one-fourth
of the total, shows a significance of the
largest irrigation propositions ever at
tempted.
