die of slow fortunes by thirst and hunger.
Il guess | went out of my head after that, and

dark streak running past me into the shaft.
After several efforts | able to reach it with my

interest. | peered into the mine below and
a dim figure swaying beneath yellow fame. The
pain in my head SO bad that | couldn't reason
about it. | only watched it mechanically it
swung upward. When l it coming nearer,
l realized vaguely that it would soon pass by and
leave me there alone That scared me, and | cried
out like a frightened child in the dark.
The dangling figure heard and answered.
Then | saw dim head in a halo of cande-hght
emerge from the darkness and recognized the
homely, stupid face of yellow cook | haven't

the shaft. When they began to lower me down,
struck with strange uneasiness. Mind you,
l don't believe in presentments. Even now 1
think it due to that sneakng river The walls
black and oozy, and disagreeabe mineral

seemed to be dividing from life and lowering
into some unknown horror. | turned my face
up to the mouth of the mine. What beautiful
sky! What sunshne-c1oudless sunshine! few
bushes that had grown over the edge gowed like
jewels above the black shaft. Beyond them

Il don't know how long | looked up, but pretty
soon it seemed if the picture wavered little. l
winked hard to clear my sight and looked again.
Surely the ground above movingl | could
hear shouting and the faint sound of running feet.
Then in moment of sickening horror l realized
my danger and desertion
There | was suspended between two fearful
fates. Far below in the darkness lay suen
river, and just above hung vast, quiverng noun
tain of rock ready to fall at any moment. l was
paralyzed with terror, and shutting my eyes waited
in agony. The last thing | remember was the
maddening jar and thunder of ripping, roaring,
grinding rock Fairfax paused
Il never knew just how it happened he went
at last; but great boulder proved to be
my salvation Probably it was the first to fall.

tons of other boulders. At one
place where it made a high
arch into the shaft it didn't
stick out beyond the ledge,
and the opening was window
from which | could look both
ways into the mine. From
where | lay | could see across
and up the shaft to a tiny bit
of sky. That was the first
thing l noticed when l be-
came conscious. l lay there
watching it, perhaps for a few
minutes, perhaps for hours.
Il was stunned and bleed
ing and exhausted. | couldn't
remember what had hap
pened. After awhile |
crawled to the opening
! and looked out. The shaft
was SO changed that |
didn't recognize it. Not
far above the cavern had
left such a wide gap in
NJ the mouth of the mine
that the sunshine went
deep into the black hole.
And after all that uproar
there was not sound, not
one single sound. l looked up
again and saw a bird cross
ing the sky. 1t recalled the
picture | had seen while being
lowered into the mine. The
whole thing came back to
me with such force that the
sunshine turned to black
ness.
When | came to myself
it was dark. My head was
throbbing wildly and l was
parched with the thirst of the
wounded. | looked into the
shaft and wondered feebly
why the boys did not come to
help me. At last it occurred
to me that they wouldn't come.
Who would ever dream of
looking for a man under that
awful landslide? Ny only hope
was to save myself. The
thought gave me strength.

rock and looked up. 1t was

Large Amount of Grain Threshed Here.

Few, if any, of our citizens real
ize the large amount of farming
that is being carried on in this vi
cinity. A. Croker who has just
finished the threshing for our
turner's, gave us the machine hg-
ures of the amount of grain which
was threshed here this year. The
figures shows that about 10000
bushels of oats, 100 bu. OF rye,
over 90 bu. of wheat, 100 bu. OF
peas and 7c bu. of barley was
threshed, together with the large
amount of grain which several
farmers will feed to their stock
and horses in the bundle. would
raise the grand total bushels OF
grain raised here to large flgure.
The number Of tons OF hay cut
and the bushels of potatoes raised
besides the other root crops, Will
prove to the most skeptieal per-
SON that more farming is being
done here than they had any IDEA
of. This country is destined to
be a big farming country, and II
is being developed more and more
every year.

White Bass in the Eagle Chain of Eske

Through the efforts of Assem-
blyman E. A. Everett of this city,
2s cans of white bass were Sc
cured from the State Fish Hatch
cry Of Oshkosh. The fish arrived
here Tuesday afternoon and Mr..
Everett planted them at the head
of the Eagle chain of lakes. The
young fish were quite large and
they will spawn next spring. Mi.
Everett should receive the thanks
of our citizens for getting these
new specie of fish planted in these
waters. The Fish Commissioners
have found it had work to trans
port the white bass fry, as they
die while being shipped. There
wasn't a dead fish in this shipment
of * cans. In a year or two don't
be surprised when you land new
kind of fish as it will be white
bass, ]
N. L. Kinney killed black
bear last week Friday up on the
Deerskin. The bear weighed 40
pounds and it was shipped to Chi

and which l shall earnestly endeavol
to merit.
Personal likes and dislikes, when
carried to extremes, are incompatible
with the highest efficiency in the pub
lie service, and | shall always try r.
remember hat my obligations to thls
young commonwealth are far more
important than trivial personalities.
Our state is young in years, but old
in information; small in population
but large in area; short on capital, but
long on resources, and to ali good PEG
pie we open wide the door of endless
opportunity.
Industrial conditions were never
more favorable; in fact the prosperity
which prevails in Wyoming is without
parallel in our history Not only have
we enjoyed the blessings of favorable
seasons and fruitful years, but the
states credit is unsurpassed, laws are
enforced, life and property protected
and Wyoming is recognized as 4 con
sentative, well governed and progress
sive commonwealth.
Improved conditions are noticeable
everywhere; our livestock industry is
on a solid and substantial basis; the
great eastern and foreign corporations
have been replaced by individual stock
growers until today our horses, cattle
and sheep are almost entirely owned
and managed by Wyoming citizens.
The ever increasing revenues are now
used to build up our own cities, e
large our farms and develope our var
led resources.
Careful management has improved
the quality of our livestock. e~radicated
disease and reduced winter losses to
a minimum. The free range is rapid
disappearing; what remains should be
used by Wyoming people for Wyoming
livestock. Every acre in the forest re-
serves should be put to its best pos
sible use and all the livestock allowed

sued by the government in ample time
to allow our stockmen to make suit
able arrangements for summer graz
ing
Cur farms are so rapidly increasing
that our agricultural interests deserve
more attention than they have here
tofore received. Our industrial con-
ventions have been of vast benefit in
demonstrating the variety and quality
of our products, and the state can well
afford to make a small appropriation
TO encourage these annual fairs. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars are sent
out Of our state every year for farm

and increasing the value Of his farm
property.
Our mining interests are developing
rapidly, and in every county in the
state. substantial progress is being
made. Some steps should be taken
to give our great mineral resources
wide publicity. In many sections. min
ing development is retarded by lack
of railroad facilities, and we should
use all practicable means to encourage
railroad construction. While every
citizen in our state must contemplate
with the utmost pride and enthusiasm
the growth and expansion of our indus
tries. and the rapid increase in our
population, still it behooves us to con
stantly watch for every symptom of
%insidious weakness that threatens our
development.

pie were under the impression that it
was the university building, others
t%hinging it was the old hospital. the
county hospital and the fair grounds

sponded to the alarm, but did not go

would be difficult to render any assis-
lance. Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson were
away from home at the time. The
amount of the damage could not be
learned, nor whether there was any
insurance.
