From a Would Be Slayer.
Albert ]. Beveridge, senator from
Indiana, spent several of his adoles-
cent years in Kansas, driven to the
wild by i'll health and overwork at
his law studies. One day in a small
town he butted in and broke up q
lynching party.
A stage driver had accused man
he was known to dislike of having
stolen a mule. Beveridge thought
it was a put up job and with all the
enthusiasm of a budding lawyer ar
gued that the evidence was INSULT
cient to convict, it being a case of

Coking Coal.

The Sun was shown some speci-
mensof coke which it was alledg-
ed had been burned in Saratoga
and from a vein of coal not fifteen
miles distant from the city. 1t
was equalin quality to anything we
have ever seen and had not our
informants been men of reliability
we would have refused to place any
confidence in their staemtents.
We are promised a revelation in
this matter shortly and the asser.
ton is made that coke will soon
be burned here to supply the En-
campment smelter.

THE ELKHART
New Mining Company Formed to
work Rich Copper Lead on Elk.
M0untain---will run 200 Foot
Tunnel on the Vein. which is
an Extension OF the Elkh0rn.

From A. G. Wagner. G. A. Han
sen and W. w. Petty, all members
of the new mining company re-
Gently formed to work a copper
lead on Elk Mountain, the Sun is
enabled to announce to it's readers
that another mining company to
develop Elk Mountain copper has
been formed. The company has
for officers the following Walcott
and Saratoga men. President, w.
@. Summons, vice-president, G. A.
Hanson, secretary and treasurer
A. g. Wagner, all of Walcott while
W. w. Petty, of this place is gem
eral manager.
This company is called the Elk
hart Copper Mining Company.
The vein on which the work is to
be done is an extension of the
Elkhorn vein, which has proved
so valuable in copper returns. Mr..
Petty says the work of running
the tunnel will be begun at once
nj pros ecuted with vigor.
The Elkhart company is a good
solid company, with plenty of
funds behind it and there is no
doubt of it's ultimate success. Elk
Mountain is proving a great cop
per country and it will not be long
until the smoke from smelter fur
naces will be rising from more
than one smoke stack on the side
of that old land mark.

Smelter Machinery.

Enormous machinery for the
Encampment smelter continues to
pass thru this place. These cast
ings, some of which weigh as
much as much as $4,000 pounds,
are an enigma to the average
citizen who wonders what they
can be for. Wagons have had to
be trussed up and strings of teams
that run from II to Is head are
Required to haul these monster
castings and they are a sore trial
to the bridges on the road, keep
ing road supervisor Hull on the
lookout to repair damages. Large
quantities of coke are now passing
thru here almost daily bound for
the Penn Wyoming works. The
needs of the smelter alone would
Justify a railroad TO Encampment
if there were. no other intrests to
consider.

New Saratoga Firm

Warner & Gould have formed a
partnership to manufacture cigars
and will occupy the Couzens build
ing at the left of the bridge on the
east side of the river. The new
firm already has orders enough
ahead to keep them busy for the
next 10 days, which is certainly a
good start and speaks we'll for the
demand there is for cigars. MI.
Warner is the new cashier in the
State Bank here and Mr.. Gould is
too well known among u people
to need an introduction. Both are
hustlers and the new firm starts
out with the brightest kind of
prospects for the future. This
new firm, you might say is the
beginning of a great business boom
for the town of Saratoga.

Light by March LIST

The men employed on the cleo
trict light plant were unable to
get things in shape so that they
could have light for the Eagles
ball, though they worked valiant
ly to that end. The work of con-
Meeting up the town has been ac-
complished, however, and the work
absolutely necessary for the pro-
duction of light has been done in
the plant, so that we are now as
sured that lights will be turned on
the night Of the LIST of March.

chases combined gives Capt. Davis
control of considerable property
adjoining the town. That it will
increase in value with the arrival
of the railroad every one acknow-
lodges.
Willard Caldwell is talking, at
the present time, of settling in the
Arkansas valley in Colorado, but
old associations are quite liable to
hold him in Saratoga where he has
spent SO many years of his life.
Mr. and Mrs. Maghee have no
thought of leaving this part of the
country, and say: "The Saratoga
valley is good enough for us"

HOT SPRINGS
OPTION
c. E. Wantland, u. P. Land Agent
Puts up 1900 for a Six Months
Option to the Owners Of the
Famous Saratoga PROPERTY
Probably means Sale.

The Sun has reliable informa-
ton to the effect that G.. E. Want
land, the Union Pacific land agent
has put up an option of $4,000 to
the owners of the Hot Springs
property at this place. The option
is for six months, but those who
are in position to know say that it
will not be 90 days until the prop
erty passes into the hands of a
large hotel syndicate, which pro-
poses to vastly improve the prop
erty and make it a famous summer
resort.
G. E. Wantland, the man who
is behind the present option, is
the man who built the fine
Knutsford Hotel, Salt Lakes ia
nous hotel, which is considered
next to the Brown Palace of Den
yer for costly magniticence and
splendid appointments. Mr.. Want
land is also the power behind the
large Snake rRiver ditch, which is
costing In the DeighDorhood of
100000. He has been successful
in financing a great many other
large enterprises in the west and
when it is known that he has taken
the Hot Springs property under
his charge the belief will be gen.
eral that something will come of
it.

Forest Service Notes

A special dispatch from Pine
dale Wyoming, is to the effect
that the government is going to
assist in killing wolves. 1t is as
follows:
AT a meeting of stockmen of
this section, held at Newfork, two
wolf exterminators were selected
by the stockmen at tie request of
the government, who will be en-
ployed by the forestry bureau to
pursue and kill wolves within the
forest reserves of Wyoming.
This is the first cotton taken by
the government towards extermin-
ating wolves on forest reserves and
will be followed by similar action
in other states. The men chosen
were Billie Postel and Forest Ran
ger George Glover. Each will re-
ceive $50 a month from the gov
eminent and all bounties they can
collect on hides. Both are ex-
perienced wolf trappers.
There will have to be a re-sur-
vey of the forest reserve bound
aries, in order that strips of graz
ing land, free from timber, may
be eliminated therefrom. There
are also many points of timber
land running down from a half a
mile to a mile and a half, that
should also be eliminated, thus
giving the ranchmen undisturbed
possession of timber for firewood
and, perhaps, building purposes.
These strips, or points of timber
land are of no value as timber, for
there is neither tie timber nor
lumber timber in them; hence
there is no need to preserve them.
The government Is interested in
preserving only such timber as is
worth preserving,
AT the same time that the gov
eminent is trying to preserve the
timber it should not include in
such reservations land that does
not contain timber and would be
better left out of the reserves.
Such action on the part of the
government is not wise and tends
to bring the forest policy
into disrepute. 1t is quite certain
the government will, just as soon
as it is possible to do so, re-survey
the boundary lines of its reserves
and ointment all agricultural and
grazing, non-timbered lands.

Friday night of one of the most
brilliant balls that has ever been
given in the town. Heretofore
the Fraternal Order of Eagles have,
as on this occasion, given their an
nual ball on Washington's birth
day, and the occasion was always
looked toward to as the event of

PROBATION OF the people VINO at

The Grand March
Promptly at 8 O'Clock Wilcox's
orchestra struck up the grand
march and the dance was on. They
footed it right merrily until two
o'clock next morning, only stop
ping to partake of the very fine
supper, which WAS being served by
the Women of Woodcraft on the
stage, while the dancers made
merry on the floor of the hall.
Decorations.
The decorations were, as ever,
composed of Old Glory, with bunt-
ings of every pattern, draped
around the walls and cross the
ceiling. Large stuffed eagles and
wall pictures we're in evidence and
the hall presented a splendid APP
pearance. 1t was the general
|opinion of all present that the
decorations of the hall surpassed
anything that had ever been done
before.
The Music
Tho music was a source of uni
versal comment and praise. Mes
sers Wilcox, Browning, Wolfe,
Snyder and Buchanan make a
musical combination that is rarely
equalled and never surpassed.
Floor Management
Messers Taylor, Paulson, Lot
tier, Wolf, Poutrie, Christensen,
Plummer and Sage were most &C
tive in seeing that everybody vas
taken care of and the bestof order
prevailed turnout the entire even
ing. Ed. Bailey, as caller, was at
his best.
The Supper
The Women of Woodcraft had
made most elaborate preparations
for the supper. The tables were
beautifully decorated and loaded
with good things. There was the
greatest abundance and while they
fed more than l2O people they had
enough provisions to have fed Az
more. They cleared between $50
and $50. The supper tickets were
rs cents each and everyone de-
clared the price cheap. 1t was one
of the best suppers ever given in
the town.
