sARAToGA's PUBLIC School

Saratoga has a public school
that it can well be proud of. IN
der the supervision of Prof.
Stearns and his able corps of
teachers, the Misses Kelly, Evans
and Sensintatfar, work is pro-
crossing in the most satisfactory
manner. Every parent in Sara
toga should make it a point to
visit the school building at least
once every month and spend an
hour or two in each department if
possible, in order to note Just
what is being accomplished by
these able servants of the public.
Work is moving tremendously in
every department and better sue
cess in this important branch of
public instruction was never had
in the history of the town than at
present.

STAGE ACCIDENT

AS the stage was coming down
from the postoffice to the Hotel
Wolf last Sunday one of the lines
broke and the horses became I'M
manageable. They broke over
the sidewalk east of the harness
shop of W. G. Edwards. where the.
tongue splintered, leaving the
horses on one side and the coach
across the walk. A crowd of men
gathered and extricated the horses
and backed the coach out into the
street. Another vehicle was OBJ
tanned from the stables and the
mail and passengers continued on
their journey at the proper time.
No damage beyond a badly wreck
ed coach tongue resulted.

MONEY FOR IRRIGATION
Montana Arizona. Wyoming and Nebras.
ka are the States Which Have Sc
cured Benefits.

a repor. from Washington
gives some important facts regard
ing the fund to be used for recla.
nation of arid lands. From the
figures given it will be noticed
that Wyoming gets a good share
of the appropriation. 1t says:
For irrigation purposes $4,000.
600 is the estimated figure of the
appropriation for irrigation work
which will be available in the fis-
cal year 1905. the sun realized
from the sale Of western public
lands since the year of the pas
sage of the irrigation law.
This fund is to be according to
the law, invested by the secretary
of the interior. in feasible irriga-
ton projects. which will repay the
amount to the government in ten
annual installments for the set
tiers. 1t is a recognized fact that
the contributions to the fund from
the various states are in MANY
cases not in proportion to the
need of those states for irrigation.
The states thus far to chiefly
benefit through the irrigation law
are Montana, Arizona, Wyoming
and Nebraska, although some of
them have themselves made to it
considerable contributions.
Wyoming, because of its STRAIT
eglc geographical position and the
fact that much of the water sup
ply of the west originates in that
part of the state, must of neces-
sity have the storage reservoirs
BULL there, not only for the bene-
fit Of Wyoming, but for Nebraska
as well. The secretary has set
aside Sl2, 25O,OOO for the Shoshone
river, Wyoming, project, and So
$4,000 for the Pathfinder project
on the North Platte river, to be
partially expended for the benefit
of Nebraska. Thus about Is per
cent of the entire reclamation
fund will be expended in Wyom-
ing, although she has contributed
only 4 per cent of the fund.

TIE CONTRACTORS

ID. NJ. Foreman was in the city
this week, having come down from
the saw mill in the mountains on
Spring creek. He says the work
of getting out ties and bridge tim
beers is going on in first class
shape at the present. He says
they are now saving about 1900
feet a day and, when they get on
a full force, which will be in Il
weeks time, they will cut 10000
feet per day.
The weather has been most ex-
cellent, not only for the work of
getting logs to the mills, but also
for hauling the sawed timber to
the line of road. There are now
twelve 4 horse teams hauling ties,
besides the bridge timbers that
are being delivered at this place.
Mr.. Foreman says matters are
now arranged SO that the work of
getting out ties and timbers will
continue all winter without any
interruption.

"iou people have several ad-
vantages not possessed by any
other part of the valley. First,
your medicinal hot springs are
sufficient in themselves to make
a town, and l don't think they
have any finer OF better water in
the world than you have right
here. Second, you are in the
very heart of the farming country
and Third, you are practically the
center of the mining industry.

RAILROAD NEWS
Notes on the Progress Of
the Saratoga & En-
campment Line.
GIDEON & MICHAEL BUSY
Gathering Teams for the Work Of Grad
ing-Purohased 100 Head Of Heavy
Draft Animals.

Simply because there is but
little movement in sight many
people r of the opinion that
work on the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment line has stopped. The rea-
son of the apparent quiet is that
Gideon d. Michael, the new con-
tractors, are busy gathering teams
and grading outfits before they
start in with the work, being now
in the Snake River country for
that purpose.
The grading machinery has
been purchased and will be at
Walcott in a few days, having al
ready been shipped from Denver
where it was purchased. The
firm has also been very busy
buying horses and making ar
engagements for teams to work
on the grade. They have purch-
ased 100 head of the large. heavy
draft horses which the Encamp
ment Transportation Company
has been using to haul it's coke
aud copper to and from the rail-
road. After an examination of
the horses at Encampment the
firm met Mr.. Hum in Denver by
appointment and the bargain was
consumated there. The work of
grading is to commence in a few
days.
Large quantities of bridge tim
Der is now being received here
and piled up on the banks of the
river adjacent to where it will be
required when bridges across the
North Platte here are to be built.
In order to get out of the town
without injuring any of the Hot
Springs property, rs we'll as that
of other prople, the railroad com
pany will be compelled, by the
nature of the ground south of
this place, to not only cross the
main chanal of the river but to
Cross the west channel no less
than five times, thus requiring
six bridges within a distance of
half a mile. The west channel
of the river, is not very large and
the bridges not very expensive
ones. 1t is possible that the
company may conclude to change
the channel in one or two places
and thus avoid two or three of the
smaller bridges.

Last Friday while playing has

The pupils of the high room
are very busy this week as they
are having examination before
Christmas so that after a ten days
rest they will be ready to COM
mence anew with vigor and en-
tbsiasm.
The pupils will take up zoology
after the holidays. They hope,
after a long ours III that peculiar
line, and a thorough investigation,
to be able to give to the public
what particular branch the Prof.
belongs to.
The basket ball teams have not
been able to play much on ac-
count of the cold weather, but ex-
pect to give a challenge game in
the Jensen hall shortly after
Christmas. There will be a small
entrance fee with which the team
intends to pay for their costumes.
The other morning we heard
strange noises and by investiga-
ton found it to be in the lower
room. Apparently the boys whis-
thing we're helping the girls in
singing. This has been repeated
several times with great improve
ment and it does not alarm or dis
turb the pupils above any more.
We are all very glad that dear
old Santa Claus is coming O

presents which he will give to us.
We will also be glad when an ex-
aminations are over and think. af-
ter our joyful vacation, we will be
glad to go back to our school and
finish our term with good hearts.
The pupils of the Prof.'s room
all have to hand in an essay.
Some are to write on "Procras-
tination,' which must be handed
in on Friday while the eleventh
grade have to write on the study
of Evangeline which will be COM
pleted the last of this week: the
essay will not be due until Jan. ).

have any property in this district
is low casting his eagle eye in
that direction and before long
will be winding his way back to
his old cabin home on the top of
the Medicine Bow mountains
where his great wealth is stored
away in that perfect net work of
gold bearing veins that cover this
district. This camp has had its
ups and downs, hard times, ETC..
the prospectors all being poor men,
and the ore being of that grade
which will not stand $50 or $40

extent that it is almost impossible

What we need is the miner and

Unfortunately Gold Hill has
never had a mining company
strong enough to operate and
push the work in the proper man

tried to fight this water PROPOSE

grade sulphides. but they have
been forced to abandon the idea
as well as the experiment, leaving
the shafts to fill with water. The
following year it would take the
amount of the annual assessment
to unwater these same shafts
consequently no further develop
ment. There is the Acme shaft
which by the way is the deepest
shaft in this district, is only 1853
feet deep, and has good paying
! ore in the bottom.
The prospectors who have been
forced to stop their work on ac-
count of water, will soon have this
trouble by the man with

for Just such a mining dis

easily net from three to fifteen
dollars per ton in gold.
A MILL to reduce this ore that is
exposed from the present develop
ment, would be a very good in
vestment for the man with the
coin, for the mineral is certainly
there, and ready to haul to the
mill for treatment. AS soon as
the prospector a market his ore

be in a position to make his pros

Just think there is the Headwell

has nothing to compare
in value with Gold Hill. The
mill vein of that mine is saving
only S2.39 per ton, the mine vein

at home. Some might say it
takes too much money to start to
operate. Well, it takes money to
do mining it it true, but nobody
can say that the ore is not there
