ME PLAINS LINE FOR
HANDLING OUTPUT.

Mineral, Which VIII Be Hauled to
Present Terminal of Laramie,
Hahns Peak and Pacific and
Shipped to Reduction Plant at
Blue Island.
Frank NJ. Wootton of Madison, Wis,
left yesterday afternoon for his home,
having spent a few days in this city.
BefCee going he completed a deal
with President Fred A. Miller of the
Laramie, Hahns Peak and Pacific rail-
road for the handling of the ores of
the Rambler Mining and Smelling
company, which will be hauled to the
present western terminus of the Lar
annie Plains line, there loaded on cars
and brought to this city, being deliv-
cred here to the Union Pacific. Union
Pacific cars will be used for the pres
ent, to avoid transfer at this city. The
output of the Rambler mine. according
to MI. Wootton, will be from two to
five cars every fortnight at first, until
the mine gets into little better run
ming shape.
Mine to Be Worked.
MI. Wootton stated to a reporter
yesterday afternoon that never before
would he consent to discuss the plans
of tho oppnaDv ,yifb rauor1 90 tbo
famous Rambler mine. Now l am
ready TO say that the mine will be
worked and worked hard. S. w. Tan
nehill, the superintendent, has orders
to place a force of men at work in
the mines, at present numbering ff-
teen, and to get the ore to the railroad
as expeditiously as possible. 1t will
be sent to Blue Island, Ill, where it
will be reduced. The reduction plant
will ave all the values in that mar
W. us ore. Nothing 5ele v 20 per cent
copper will be sen for the present.
We have plenty of that, and it con
tains in addition to the copper large
sums in gold, platinum mad palladium,
as you well know, and these will be
saved. With copper at % cents a
pound, platinum at SIS and palladium
al $50 a pound, the ore ought to turn
out from $4,000 to $4,000 a carload.
Will Erect a Plant.
Here is another thing do not
mind saying at this time" he con-
tinued, and something | have never
said before. The company will have
a plant at the mine in as short a space
of time as is necessary to accomplish
the matter. We have one of the best
mines in the United States and are
going to make the most of it. Mr..
Miller has consented to handle the
cars from his terminal near Centen-
NAL to this city, and that will save
fifteen miles of haul, almost a days
travel for a team. We shall DAD the
ore as rapidly as we get it to the
railroad and the two railroads will de-
liver it to Blue Island.
Is a Noted Mine.
The Rambler is promising big
things-big for us II big for the peo-
pie of this community. Mr.. Tannehill
will be furnished with all the men he
can use and with means to work to
the best advantage. The Rambler is
on its feet again and We are going to
get, some return from its marvellous
ores. 1t is noted as one of the most
peculiar ore bodies in the world and
one of the richest"
Coming Again in December.

charge of some of the details. He was

Museum of Copper.
Hon. H. c. Beeler of Cheyenne, state
geologist, in an article written for the
Laramie Commercial club and print
sd in its pamphlet, Mineral and AL
lied Resources of Albany County" a
few months ago, thus speaks of the
Rambler mine and its peculiar ore
formation:
The Rambler mine is a v%eritable
museum of copper minerals, and near
ly all the known forms have been
found there, either in quantity or as
specimens. Native copper is noted
in sheets, often of a dentritic form,
and as small nuggets. Copper car
Donates, green and blue, are abundant
as well as the silicates Of copper. The
red oxide of copper, Cuprite' and the
block oxides, Temorite n Mala'
conite, are noted in quantity.
New strike Reported.
