Greenough brothers Of Spokane has
been operating the Red Canyon pincers,
I'm Fremont county. Nothing was pro-
duced. however, the company busyiug
itself in acquiring ranch and other
properties. surveying pipe limos maxi
ing tests. etc. Early I'm the year a story
was given out that the Greeuoughs
had millions in sight in the Red Cam
yon placers, and as old-timers In that
section have annually washed out
much gold. the story was believed. and
is still believed for that matter But
during the late summer the syndicate
suddenly ceased operations, and the
report was given out that the placers
had been saltcd." This reflection up
on the reputation Of the state was
promptly resented by state officials,
who started AN Investigation. which is
now i'm progress. Il Is known the
ground IN question carries much gold.
but there is a question whether 1t could
be worke dproftably on the scale plan-
ned by the Greeuoughs or not, prob
ably not. The authorities are deter

sihle for the sailing of the plaCers,
if they were sailed" and as deter

story was given out for a purpose. The
Red Canyon affair was the sensation
OF the year I'm Wyoming mining cir

with interest.
Copper mining is In progress in va
Tious Parts of the state, and good re-
suits are being obtained. In the Grand
Encampment district the Ferris-Hag-
garty and other mines are producing
large quantities OF copper ores, which
are treated at the big plant OF the
Penny wyoming company at Grand En-
campment. Daily shipments OF blister
copper are sent out from that place,
and Il is estimated that more than
s. .O0O.0 900 was produced during the year
now closing.
New properties are being opened and
developed in large number, both in the
Encampment and Copper mountain
districts Mills are being installed IN
both districts, and another year viii

IRON DEPOSITS.

There are several large deposits OF
iron I'm the state, chiefly IN Laramie
and Carbon counties. In the former the
mines Hartville and Sunrise have been
producing steadily. but the output has
been curtailed owing to the lack OF
cars to transport the product 70 mar
ket During the year more than $4,000
tons Of ore were shipped, and now that
the transportation companies have sup
piled cars It is expected the output or
these mines VIII be doubled during the
coming year.
Among the largest deposits OF iron
ina the United states are those OF the
Iron Mountain district 40 miles north
OF cheyenne. owing 10 the character
OF the ore these deposits have hereto
fore been regarded rs being practical
~ usless, it being impossible to treat

that "a process has been discovered, Tor
during the past year agents OF the
Union Pacific have quietly located large
tracts of these iron lands, and during

WHEN IT EXPLODED

Few Seconds.


What appeared to be a meteor to those
who saw it, passed across the heavens
shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, only to be followed in very few
seconds by an explosion that caused the
earth to tremble and houses to shake.
Many sound sleeper in Barre was
awakened by the shaking Of the house
and the report Of the explosion, which
sounded something like thunder clap
The meteor lighted up the streets as
brilliantly as in midday Many have
reported seeing it today, but no one
could tell in which direction it went. The
explosion, or its striking of the earth.
as many believe it did, came so close
on its appearance, dazed those who saw
it, and those awakened from sleep did
not know what had happened. The
house occupied by j. 7 Connick on West
street was shaken to such an extent
1t cracked an iron sink in the kitchen
Not only was the fash seen In Barre
but Plainfeld people called up Barre to
know what 1t was. It was also seen
and felt in Brookfeld, Marshfield and
other surrounding towns.
In Montpelier the sleeping inhabitants
were awakened By an explosion which
shook houses, ratified windows and IN
some instances knocked hric-a. brac and
pictures from the walls The explosion
was preceded ten seconds by a brilliant
flash Of light that illuminated the heav.
ems in northwesterly direction. Many
citizens Of that city dressed and went
on the street, thinking q locomotive boil.
er had exploded, OF that burglars were
attempting to wreck a bank People
who were awakened at the time say the
flash resembled lightning, but as the
heavens were clear it could not be attri.
buted to that cause.
