being ten or fifteen minutes behind its
schedule. The wreck occurred at
what railroad men call the "Rock
Creek cut" on a curve, where jagged
rock walls on each side of the track

engine was going so rapidly that 1t

the track and struck the side Of the
bluff to the right and the four cars fol-
lowing plowed through it and shot
against the high stone wall at the left.
The sides of the coaches were torn of

surface, and passengers and trainmen

killed outright or badly hurt.
The cars which left the track were

A PROMISING NINE.

During the past two or three years
the people of Laramie have heard con
siderable In relation to the Strong
mine, owned by DIR. |. r. Swigart, q
p. Baker and others. The owners OF
this property have been indefatigable
in their efforts to develop it and have
at times been compelled tn undergo
some h%ardsnips, but their day appears
to be dawning. Late developments in
dictate that the lear future will brin.
them a great reward.
State Geologist Henry C. Beeler, s
man who has gained a reputation fol
efficiency and honesty in his profes
sion, speaks very highly of the Strong
In a letter to the company he has this
to say:
'As to the Strong, l consider it a
good proposition. The need of the
property is further developed on
the ore shoots now shown and a con-
centrator should be built next spring.
"A concentration to treat 90 tons of
ore per day should cost about 1000,
and tramway, bitches, ETC., to complete
the plant and put it in working order,
about $4,000 additional.
The mine development and equip.
meat would cost about $40, 900, includ-
ing running expenses up to the start
Ing Of the mill, making a sum OF $40,
900 necessary to place the property on
a self sustaining basis.
This might not all be required, but
1t would place the property on a SOUND
basis or footing which should be per
manent, making the property not only
carry itself but create a fund for fut
ure enlargement of the mill and plant
and then pay dividends as the work
progressed.
The new work on the 250-foot level
has shown the same ore conditions as
on the levels above and the shoots are
evidently the same"
The foregoing comes from a man
who knows what he is talking about
and who is honest in what he saws,
1t simply means that his best judgment
warrants the investment OF capital
and that the investment of capital will
bring dividends.
bs tHS mas naQ an
opportunity to sell all their remaining
treasury stock to eastern people at a
large advance over the price hereto
fore obtained, but the managers be-
heve 1t best to retain the controlling
interest in the west, in the City of
Laramie, If possible. For this reason
they have refused to accept the offer
of the eastern people and are asking
men of means in this vicinity to in
terest themselves in the mine. They
believe that Laramie should have the
benefit of the toll and the money put
forth by its citizens, and they Know
that II control passed to the east. this
city would not receive anything like a
fair share of the reward likely to come
to who now invest in this prop
erty.

HIS ENDORSEMENT UNANIMOUS,

In the no distant future II will be
come the duty of the president of the
United States to nominate a post
far as The Republican is able to learn
there Is but one sentiment here, that
Mr. Elmer It. Beltz should be his own
successor. He has fairly earned an
enviable reputation in the position.
During more than five years last past
we have not heard a single complaint
relating to the management of the of
fee. Day and night, Sundays and holi-
days, his constant aim has been TO
give the people of Laramie and the
surrounding country the best possible
service. Personal considerations have
been thrown TO the winds. Nothing
but actual physical breakdown has
ever interfered with his close atten-
ton to duty. Happily those break
downs-caused by too close confine-
ment-have peer few, but when they
have come the sympathy of the entire
people has been with him and the wish
of all has been for his speedy recov-
cry.
The efforts of Postmaster Beltz for
the good of the service have extended
beyond the city. 1t has been his pride
and his pleasure to give the people of
the surrounding country the best SER
vice at the disposal of the government.
The rural route has received earnest,
careful attention, and the star routes
have beer increased in their capacity
to serve the best interests of their pa
irons. In every respect It has been
the sole object of the postmaster to
build up the Laramie office TO the
highest degree of efficiency. He has
succeeded.
1t Is not too much to say that 1t is
the personal wish and hope of all the
patrons of the Laramie office, regard
less of party afiliation, that President
Roosevelt will again name him as the
postmaster at Laramie. In this he
would only be carrying out the will OF
the people and the recently expressed
desire of the postmaster general to
the effect that earnest, energetic, cap
able men be kept in the postofices of
the country.
The Republican Is very glad to be
abel to testify as to the high character
OF the service given to the people who
patronize the Laramie p~ostofice, at
the same time assuring the powers
that be and the people generally that
this testimonial Is unsolicited and
wholly warranted.
