A PLUCKY BLUEBIRD
JAMES BARTON ADAMS

A sweet little bluebird merrily sang,
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs comingl
In pipings of gladness his birdie voice rang,
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
The sunshine soft glistened upon his blue coat
As trills rippled gaily from out of his throat;
His soul seemed to culver with JOY in each note;
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
Long, long did he twitter his musical lay,
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
He wagged his blue tail in a comical way
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
The air with the music of birds will soon TEEN,
The flowers will peep and the sun kindly beam:
l pipe the glad news, but it's no pipey dream
Springs coming! Springs comingl Springs coming!
A chilling breeze hit him, but yet did he sing,
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
Yet closer around him he wrapped his warm wing
Springs coming! Springs coming! Springs coming!
And he sang: "Ib a lddle ahead OBJ de gabe,
Bay regret that I SO prebaturely hab cabe,
But I stick to the claib l hab made, just the sable
Sprig's cubing! Sprg's cubing! Sprig's cubingr'

GAMBLING
AT RAWLINS
County Capitol Again at

all Wide Open.

The lid is off at Rawlins! says
a dispatch to the CHEYENNE Leader
For several days gambling has
been in progress here, and, while
the fact has not been advertised
from the housetops, it has been an
open secret. Stud and draw, bank
and roulette have been running,
and the games have not been be,
hind closed doors.
Sunday, it is understood, gamb,
ling is to be re-established in all
places which were closed some
months ago. There is an under
standing that there will be no in.
reference with the games, and
everything is to be in the broad
open, as of yore.
The fact that gambling has been
resumed has caused but little com.
ment in town.

"We consider he is worth $500

HAHN'S PEAK
& PACIFIC
Big Sale of Bonds Made
and Line Will be Built
Says Isaac Van Horn.

The following from the Chey-
enne Leader is a very encour-
aging report in regard to the above
named road and also for the coun-
try through which it passes:
A dispatch from Boston Mass,
announces that Isaac Van Horn
has sold 100000 worth of the
bonds of the Laramie, Hahn's
Peak & Pacific Railway company,
and that he will at once depart for
Wyoming to arrange for the re-
sumption of the construction OF
the road. 1t is further announced
that the road is to be pushed
through to Encampment during
the present year.
The Laramie, Hahn's Peak &
Pacific Railway company was in
corporated about six years ago, its
purpose being the construction Of
a standard railway from Laramie
into Routt county, Colo, with the
probable terminus at Steamboat
Springs. During the first two
years of the company's existence
considerable work was done, in
GLIDING the grading for the rail
way between Laramie and Cen
tsnnial, a distance Of thirty miles

RICH STRIKE
on ARLINGTON
Free Gold Quartz on the
Savery---Well Defined
Vein Two to Four Feet
in Thickness.

L.. G. Nelson was in the Sun
office this week with a sackful of
free gold specimens from the car
lington," a new find over in the
Savery country. This lead is
owned by Mr.. Nelson, Hank
Schank and E. w. Hounchen, and
is located a mile and a half north
of old D~exterville.
The lead has been opened in
three places and free gold quartz
has been found in all the cuts.
This lead seems to lay between
porphyry and diorite.
MI. Nelson says there will be
O.. parties from New York and De-
troit out to look the proposition
over and money and machinery
will be used in a liberal manner
toward it's development. Mr.. Mel.
son says that his partners are OF
the opinion that they are opening
up what will prove, before another
year, to be an exceedingly rich
gold country.

ICE GORGE BREAKS IN PLATTE.

There have been several ice
gorges in the river above this
place, caused by the warm days in
the latter part of March. The
principle one, a mile or so above
this place, broke Sunday about
noon and for an hour the river
was a mass of moving chunks of
ice and the river raised over a foot
in depth. The blocks were crowd
ed out on the banks of the river
and the channel is now apparently
between two frozen banks of ice.
Strange as it may seem, none of
this ice ever gets as far down the
river as Fl. Steele, all melting be-
fore reaching that point.

located as regards the district. If
the people of this place conclude
to have one put up here they can
rest assured that the ore from the
Charter Oak will not be sent to
any other point. If there is no
smelter here, then we shall erect
one at the mine and handle our
ores there"
When questioned further con-
corning what part the Copper Bar
people would take in the erection
of a smelter here, provided grounds
were furnished them and sufficient
inducements offered, Mr.. Crane
said: 1.-THE Copper Bar company
could not think of engaging in
such an enterprise outside of
handling of its own pres at the
mine. The Charter Oak is a big
proposition and we are going to
have all we can possibly do to de-
velop it properly. We could not
think of tackling the smelter prop
osition at Saratoga, though we
should be very friendly to such a
step and would lend it all the aid
and encouragement possible"
, 1906-04-05

On this grade a mile or two of
track was laid and work then
ceased. Practically nothing has
been done since this short track
was laid, although the company
has maintained an office force at
Laramie and has maintained that
it intended to construct the road.
Within the past few months the
l.. FL. P. & P. has received a con-
siderable amount of steel rails at
Laramie, but not nearly enough
to complete the track to Centen-
NAL. The proceeds of the bond
sale just consummated, 1t is pre-
sumed, will be applied to the pur-
chase of additional steel, and the
expense of laying the track to
Centennial.
The 100000 which Van Horn
is said to have secured is not suf-
ticient to complete the road to En-
campment, a distance of about 100
miller (by the railway survey, but
the announcement that any con-
etruction work is to be done was
received with satisfaction in South
ern Wyoming.
In addition to the railroad pro-
ject, there are a number OF other
deals in which the Van Horn Mil
Ter syndicate, organizers of the
railway company, are interested,
all looking to the development Of
Southern Wyoming.
The L. II. P. & P. will pass
through the Holmes, Gold Hill,
Upper Platte and Grand Encamp-
ment mining districts.

Little Ruth Scribner met with
a very painful accident at her

HUNDRED TONS PER DAY

Tons of Ore now blocked out
The Shelter Question

President w. J. Crane, of the
Copper Bar Mining Company,
who had been on a visit to the
Charter Oak mine, one of the COM
pany's richest properties, returned
from that place and proceeded
to his home in Arlington, Neb.,
Monday.
When asked the situation at the
camp he said:
"Things could not we'll look bet
ter. The development work there
has been simply wonderful and
the results are far beyond our most
sanguine expectations. We could
take out a hundred tons a day now
if We had use for it, twenty-five
tons of which would justify ship
ping to the smelter at Denver,
Omaha, or almost any other point.
We have now blocked out, accord
ing to the managers estimate,
6S4,0O0 tons of ore.

kind. Saratoga is more centrally

had a raise of three feet and eight
inches in the North Platte river at
Guernsey, caused by the water of
tributaries from Fl. Steele on
down to that place. No water
from this part of the stream has
been the cause of this rise.

DUB COPPER PRODUCTION.

The copper production Of the United
States, as set forth by Horace J Ste
vens in The Herald Of yesterday, makes
interesting reading, especially in Utah.
Mr.. Stevens, shows that the United
States produces considerably more than
half the copper of the world. In the
list of states that yield the red metal
Utah stands fourth with $4,000, 600
pounds for 1905 Ahead Of this state
are Montana, Arizona and Michigan.
II our present rate Of increase is main
tanned it will not be many years before
Utah stands at the head of the list
In 1905 great strides were made here
in the production of copper. From a.
place down on the list of values, copper
took front rank, last year. both in
values and in pounds. The indications
are that the rate of increase will be
maintained this year. Indeed, it is
certain that a great increase will be
made. The new shelters under con-
struction near Garfield are so far under
way that they will surely be blown in,
or started to operate, before many more
months have elapsed
The opening Of the new smelters viii
greatly stimulate copper production.
The ore to keep them going must be ex-
tracted from the mines. This means
the employment of more men, the open
ing Of new territory where copper is
known 10 exist, and a general stimula-
ton Of the mining industry. Increased
production of copper necessarily means
increased production of other metals.
for copper is so often found in connec-
ton with gold and silver that they may
almost be said 10 be never separated.
The growth of the copper industry in
the United States is strikingly shown
by Mr.. Stevens. He says that in 1880.
only a quarter of a century ago, the
United States produced only a. 900 tons
OF the worlds total of 1888 tons. This
is just II per cent of the total. Fifteen
years later, in 1895, the United States
produced 169, 917 tons, more than all the
world produced. in 1880. and. more than
5000 tons in excess of so per cent of the
worlds output in 1895. Since then we
have produced from 80 to 81 per cent
Of the total, for five years the percent
age being 81.

Values vary considerably. it was
found. The best corner business prop
erty in Denver, with $4,000 people, or
IN Omaha, can be had for IS, 900 a foot
For the same property in Salt Lake
lCity 500 a foot is being asked.
IN wholesale property the best in Kan
.sas City, 100000 population, is selling
:at 500 per foot, in Denver at $500, in
Omaha at $3.50 and in Salt Lake City at
1900
In residence property the comparison
is even more striking. The best resi-
'dence corners in Omaha sell at $50 a
foot, in Los Angeles at 500. in Kansas
City at $40, IN Minneapolis at 800, in
Denver at $50. Salt Lakers ask $12e
a foot for the same class Of property
The only cities in which the figures are
appreeiably higher are Detroit and
Buffalo, with best residence property
at $500 and $500, respectively, but with
respective populations Of $4,000 and
$4,000. These are figures that must be
impressive to the thoughtful observer.
If Salt Lakers who ask high prices
are asking only fair prices for their real
estate, then It would seem that the
holders in other cities are asking far
too little. Property Of any character
is worth exactly what It can be sold
for, no more, no less We hope the
pe0p!.s- here can get the prices they
waRt They are welcome to all they
can get Il may be suggested how
ever, in passing, that plenty Of bargains
Unreal estate are being offered every
day. 49,
In comparatively few instances are
the prices asked, higher than the con-
dffions warrant, And the safest thing
that anybody can put money in, the
surest returns. either in. rentals or in
appreciation Of values, is Salt Lake
City real estate. OF that there can be
no question.
