CHICAGO, April 26.-ENcept for occa-

Crop news was conflicting, but during
the early part of the session advices from
the Southwest seemed to become favor
able to the bears, several reports deny

fresh damage reports were received. and

destined within the next few years to
see sensational development In this re-
spect. While the stock raising indus
try In Wyoming now occupies the at
tention of the greater part of the popu-
lation, agriculture Will In time supple
ment the stockralsing. The eastern
farmer must, however. learn to use the
water which is supplied him to ad

DEVELOPMENT In this industry is not so
marked. The irrigation laws of Wyom

protection he must have 10 succeed In
his undertaking.
During the two years ending Sept, 80,
1906, l,l27 permits for new bitches were
issued by the state engineers office de-
scribing total OF l,3l5,0l1,sI acres OF
land to be reclaimed, and providing for
2,0S3l6 miles of main canals and
bitches. The total estimated cost
Of construction is si,i2l,275.4O, and
no better idea can be gained
of the immense amount OF land that Is
subject 10 the maintenance of homes
than from glance at these
figures. This vast area is cap
able of sustaining nearly five times the
present population of the entire state,
and Is the best evidence that can be
given of the development which surely
must take place In the state during the
next few years. AS the total cost OF lr-
rigation work Is three times as great
as the contract price OF construction, It
may safely be said that sl2,000,000 will
be expended in Wyoming In this rccla-
nation work. on new bitches. When
to this Is added an estimated cost of
600 for engagements to bitches
already built, the immense amount OF
work that will be done is evident.
BANKING BUSINESS GROWTH.
No better evidence OF Wyoming's
healthy growth can be given than the
increase In the amount OF her bank de-
poslts. At the end OF 1905. there was
only sll,100, 900 on deposit In the
banks OF the state A year later we
find on deposit trife less than s1i.-
100000, an increase Of nearly 25 per
cent, This makes the per capita rate
over sl25. In the nelghborhood OF 40
new banks have been Incorporated In
the state during the past year, and all
are prospecting to Il marked degree

ing 1903. The Pathfinder dam, which
IS located 90 miles above the town Of
casper. Is the highest dam ever con-
structed The location is In a granite
canyon, about 200 feet deep, 50 feet at
the bottom and 175 feet at the top. 1t
is built entirely of masonry, the area
covered being about $4,000 acres and
the capacity trlne over 10000 600 acre
feet The entire flow Of the Platte river
can be stored In this reservoir. The
stored water will be allowed TO run
down the river to the headgates OF the
several bitches, thus. as In the case of
the Shoshone project. assuring an
abundant supply Of water at all times.
ABOVE CASPER.
The first canal below the reservoir
opens from the river about eight miles
above the town Of Casper, on the south
side, and will lrrlgate about 10000 acres.
The Goshen Hole canal viii open near
the town of Guernsey. Here a diver
sion dam 100 feet high will be con-
structed. The length Of his canal will
be about $40 miles, six miles being
through a tunnel. About 10000 acres
will be covered by this canal. The
Fort Laramie canal, as II is known
heads just above old Fort Laramie, on
cover about $4,000 acres. Part of this
land, however, lies i'm the state of
Nebraska. Opposite this canal on the
north side of the river is the Interstate
canal. Here again a diversion dam will
be constructed, about 300 feet long and
raises the water 10 feet above the bed
of the river. This Is the canal upon
which most of the active work has beeu
done thus far and As miles of which
has been completed. 1t is an enlarge
ment Of the Whalen Falls canal, and
about 10000 acres of land lying under
the canal will be irrigated by the
Whalton Falls Canal company. The
cost Of retaining all land under the
North Platte project will probably not
exceed s35, and II is hoped that It will
be considerably less.
Other irrigation projects are being
pushed In all parts Of the state. Much
land Is already under irrigation, and an
abundance Of crops are being harvest
ed. Among these may be mentioned
the Encampment project IN Sweetwater
county, the Big Sandy project in Uinta
county, the oregon Basin project IN
Big Horn county, ana many other
smaller irrigation enterprises.

MINERALS AND OILS.
Mineral lands tributary to Casper
have developed 10 quite an extensive
degree during the past few months
The most important or mineral prod
ucts is oil In this section. but an ex-
tensiye asbestos deposit IL being worked
on Smith creek and the raw material Is
loaded on cars at CASPER. Owing TO the
fact that capital has been backward in
taking hold of this mineral until few
weeks since when company was or
ganized with a capital OF Sl,OO0,000, the
work Of getting the product to market
has been slow. But now the company
has u large force I'm the field. and
while Ii VIII require time and an ex-
penditure of many thousand doEars
before the product can be transported
from the mines to Casper with facility,
the excellent quality of the ore OBJ
tained and the apparent unlimited bed
of the deposit warrant the undertake
ing, The oil fields on Salt creek, some
S5 miles from Casper. are producing an
excellent quality of lubricating fluid
which is refined at Casper. And It will
not be out OF place 10 mention that
Casper boasts the only oil refinery I'm

n OCK SPRINGS.-Compared with
- some coal mining towns in the
IL east, this place is very small
coal camp; still, when 1t Is COM
pared with coal mining towns in the
west, there are few, IL any, that pro-
duce as much of this commodity.
Since 1869, No. mine of the Union
Pacific Coal company, has been putting
coal on the market continuously. Now,
at depth of nearly 5000 feet, the
quality of coal is better than ever
This mine has a double track slope,
driven nearly to the dip of the coal
seam. Entries are driven on both
sides on grade of about six inches
to the hundred feet. The coal is worke /
pillar and stall system, with rooms
parallel to the slope. Where the pitch
is steep enough, steel-llned chutes are
used. Cars are gathered in the en-
tries by mules, and hoisted to the dump
by two steel cables, one and one-fourth
inches in diameter.
INC hosting engine has two drums,
ach eight feet in diameter; two cylin-
ders, each SO inches in diameter by 60
inch stroke; and HOSTS 10 cars OF one
and half tons capacity each trip. The
coal is mined entirely by hand, and is
still the standby Of the company.
The next Oldest L. p. mine is No. T..
This cOal-seam Is above No. |, and Is
the same as is now being worked in
mines s, 8 and TO-
The system of transportation In No.
mine Is by IA trolley or motor-car
line through tunnel some two and a
half miles long, There are three ten
ton motors. each bringing to the dump
outside, from 40 to 60 one and fourth
ton cars each trip, The coal is very
clean, there being only half inch OF
shale. The seam Is level and varies
In thickness from five and a half feet
to eight feet. Some OF this coal is
mined by hand, while Jeffrey and Link
belt machines are used in other parts
of the mine.
No mine Is worked through dou-
ble-track plane 500 feet long. then n
main haulage single track. The coal is
the same height as that OF No. Z and
Is mined In the same way.
No. mine Is 2 double compartment
shaft 100 feet deep. The coal seam IL
thicker here, varying from seven to
eight feet. The coal is hauled to the
bottom Of the shaft by electric motors.
Electric coal-cutting machines and
drills are used, as well as compressed
air machines and drills, Some Of the
coal Is mined by hand.
