being done on the grade of one
road to Saratoga with very strong
probability that this place will
have two-one a trunk line be-
tween the Gulf and the Sound,
and the other giving an outlet to
the east and west.
For beauty of location and nat.
ural scenery Saratoga can not be
equalled by any town in the state.
The North Platte river, dotted
with islands, runs through the
center of the town and the east and
west portions of the town are con.
nected by a magnificent iron
bridge. Cottonwoods line the
banks of the stream, which has an

radius of four or five miles, is

ing country owing to the uprising
OF the numerous hot springs that
find vent in the town and country
around.
These springs have been thor
oughly tested by medical experts,
who pronounce them a certain
specific for rheumatism, all skin
and blood diseases, as well as stom.
ach and kidney troubles. Simply
bathing and drinking the waters
will cure dyspepsia or any stom-
ach or liver trouble.
The mountains on either side of
the valley are filled with gold,

minerals. All that is required to

Saratoga is situated in the heart
of this broad and fertile valley. 1t
is the natural location for the city
of southern Wyoming, and is des-
tined to become the center of a
large and prosperous community.
A beet sugar factory. a wool
securing plant, and a large sani-
tarium are among some of the
important enterprises now being
worked out for this town, and will
be the hub around which great
commercial activity will revolve.
Saratoga is also the most desira-
BILE residence locality in the entire
southern part of Wyoming. It's
climate is pleasant and healthful.

the field FOR MINING

The town of Saratoga is considered the center of the
mining industries of this country by all the mining
men interested in this great mining belt. This belt
covers thousands of square miles.
Taking into consideration the territory yet unde-
veloped. extending from the Union Pacific on the north
to the Colorado line on the south, taking in the entire
Medicine Bow range on the east and the great Cont
mental Divide on the west. Both these ranges are fab
ulously rich in all kinds of known minerals. If half
the prospects that have good showings in either range
were placed under good transportation facilities this
country would long since have come into her own.
This is to be a banner year with the mining indus
tries. The active work on the new railroad has started
activity in the hills already and the development work
for this year will know no bounds.
Do you want a good home where people are always
happy, contented and prosperous? If you are inter
ested you need not go farther than this prosperous dis
trict. The place of perpetual sunshine and financial
opportunities. Come whore you will always prosper.

FARMING--SUGAR BEETS

Saratoga has the advantage, not only of being the
center OF the mining district, but of having one of the
largest and most fertile valleys in the entire state to
draw from. This valley is well watered and adapted to
farming the cultivation OF sugar beets or stock raising.
For some time past potatoes have been the leading
crop and have brought big prices on the market. But
the past year or two has developed the fact that all kinda
OF grain, vegetables aud fruits grow and bear abundantIy
in all sections of the valley.
The fact that experiments have proven that the cul.
tivation of sugar beets can be made one of great profit,
has drawn the interest of beet sugar manufacturers to
the valley, who have been over the ground securing
contracts for the product. These visits have met with
much encouragement by the ranchmen and the outlook
for an abundance of beets. to carry on the industry at a
good profit, has led these men to make some very posi-.
tive statements regarding an early movement toward
the erection of large beet sugar plants.
Experiments and tests have proven the beets raised
here contain above the average IN saccharine matter.
, 1906-03-29
STOCK RAISING

This valley has long held first place in the large packing centers
as the producer OF the very finest beef cattle, and this is due wholly
to the richness and quality of the feed and, at the same time, the care
taKen IN preceding by the stockmen to gain superiority has brought
about the desired result. The stock raiser of the east is alvays much
surprised at the quality OF the stock the western range is sending to
the packing centers and this has brought many of them to the west
and will bring many more.
Not alone have cstlemen been interested, but the eastern horse
dealer has been coming to this section for his draft horses coach and
saddle horses. This business has been taken up by many men who
have imported some of the finest registered stock that could be pur.
chased, paying from $1,000 to $4,000 for horses to meet the demands
OF the eastern buyers. They all claim the western horse has all the
qualities of beauty, action and endurance.
