country has ever known.
Mr.. Kaylor says that a very
valuable lind has been made in
the small mountain called the
kid" The ore taken from a

Saw Mill Machinery

The new saw mill machinery for
the saw mill of the Saratoga Lum-
Der and Supply Company arrived
recently and yesterday all
but the engine was taken up to its
location in the mountains. The
engine, which is a fine one, is on
wheels and can be hauled readily
to any point desired. 1t will be
taken to the mill site at a later
date. This company is putting in
first class machinery and sparing
no pains or expense to have a
thoroughly u%p-to-date mill. After
the tie contract with the s. q E.
road is completed the large trac-
ton engine will be used to haul
lumber to this place from the
company's saw mill.

Mr.. Hand Visits SARATOGA

George III. Hand, the general
manager of the Penn Wyoming,
Copper Co, was down yesterday
from Eucampment. He says that
the smelter is doing good work,
but could do much more if COM
petent men could be hired. Up
to the present time he has been
unable to hire a full crew of men.
He hopes to be able now that the
summers work is nearly over to
get a complete outfit of men and
push the smelter right to the front.

Something of a Fish Liar

A letter received yesterday by
Secretary Burns of the Saratoga
Springs Company from q. ID.
Buchanan who is exhibiting his
'.two wheel" brake at the James
town Exposition states that not
only has the new brake attracted
attention but the advertising mat
ter furnished by the Springs Com
pany and distributed by MIR.
Buchanan as a Saratoga Booster
has started lots of conversation
about the possibilities of Saratoga
and the great fishing out here.
Mr.. Buchanan is already known
at the Exposition as the greatest
Fish Liar in America and he wants
Governor Brooks or some other
dignitary in Wyoming to give him
a clear bill of health AS a truth
teller.

{ E. PROGRESS
Bridge Building and Track Lay
ing. Grading Work is Being
Pushed Ahead Swiftly

There is something doing" in
railroad circles here now. Gen
eral Manager Young and Chief
Engineer Cramer are the storm
centres now of a regular cyclone
of hustle and hurry. No in the
history of the road has so much
activity and genuine progress been
made as at this time. AS one
man said: Every man on the
Job is working at high tension
speed.'s
The %stringers across the bridge
over the North Platte river are be-
ing laid just as rapidly as is pos
sible. The number of men that
can work on a structure like that
is limited, but remarkable pro-
gress is being made under bridge
foreman Huntington. Right be-
hind the bridge force comes the
tie men and behind the tie gang
the track laying crew and the
track will be laid to a point on the
west side of the river before night.
The pile driver has still some
work to do at Spring creek before
proceeding on up to Cow creek.
The grading in the vicinity of
Spring creek is nearing compile
ton. The grading crews will soon
take their departure for the En-
campment river valley, where they
will make the dirt fly.
General manager Young is
authority for the statement that
the new engine, which has been
looked for the past month, is in
the U. z shops at Laramie being
put into commission. When it
arrives, which will be in Il day or
two, another train crew will be
put on the line under the charge
Of conductor Payette. This train
will be used as a construction
train and enable Mr.. Young to
establish a regular service be-
tween this place and Walcott.
All things considered the line is
making most satisfactory progress
at this time.

And so, as we look over these
interesting old files. filed as they
are with the hopes and fears, the
heart aches and struggles of a
brave and deserving people, and
then look at the present prosper
Gus and inviting condition of the
town and country, we are very
glad indeed that we have been able
in some small measure, to chron-
icle the history of the town and to
feel that our efforts have been APP
preciated. The Sun hopes to live
for many, many years to continue
this good work and to reap its
share of the prosperity that surely
is at hand.

Taken to Hospital

w. T. Meason passed thru here
Sunday from Encampment on his
way to the hospital at Rock
Springs. Some three weeks ago,
while engaged in chopping timber
he cut his foot very badly, ever
ing one toe and nearly cutting
another off. DIR. Burke was called
in and dressed the wound, putting
the severed toe back in place, but
the wound finally showed symp-
toms of blood poisoning, at which
he hustled Mr. Meason off to the
hospital. 1t is feared that he
may lose his foot, but every effort
will be made to save it.

Back Files Of the Sun

The Sun is having Its back files,
extending over sixteen years,
bound and made into a newspaper
library. Mark Crawford, the
editor of the New Era, of Walden,
Colo, is doing the work and as
he is an expert hand, it is needless
to say that the work will be very
well done.
There is hardly anything more
interesting than these old files.
They present a history of the town
All it's important happenings, its
business enterprises, its celebra-
tons, its ups and downs are all
faithfully portrayedin the columns
of the paper, Every birth, every
death, every marriage that has
taken place in sixteen years is
recorded. The comings and GO
ings of our people, the many little
happenings that have made the
Sun such a prime favorite with
everyone are engraved on It's
pages.
1t is pathetic, as we'll as inter

Carl Bryant Loses Barn

Last Sunday morning a dense
column of smoke was seen rising
in the direction of Pass creek and
later it was learned that the large
barn on the ranch of Carl Bryant,
together with a large amount of
machinery, harness, tools and 40
tons of hay, had gone up in
smoke. None of the men of the
ranch we're at home, and Mrs.
Orville, the housekeeper, was
there alone. The fire started in
an old straw stack and from that
the barn got on fire. 1t is not
known how the fire originated.
The loss is all the way from $1,000
to $4,000.

Wyoming's Ban on Steer Roping

The announcement that the
Humane society has stopped
further steer roping contests in
Wyoming will be received with
qualification by most of the citi-
zens of that state and by the west
in general.
A steer roping contest vas an
nounced in Cheyenne for the
latter part of September, but the
society has interferred, and it is
announced that no more such con-
tests will be permitted in the
state. This should have been
done years ago. The steer roping
contest is a relic of barbarism,
ranking with the bull-hght in
cruelty. The contests are held
for the purpose of determining
which cowboy can rope, throw and
tie a steer IN the shortest time.
The steers are thrown SO hard that
they are frightfully bruised,
sometimes the whole side of an
animal being rendered unfit for
market purposes after it is butch
cred, owing to the tremendous
shock with which it is brought to
the ground. Horns are broken
off, legs are broken, and the
sport" has absolutely nothing to
recommend it, inasmuch as there
is no need for cowboys to work in
such great haste when on the
roundup.
Texas several years ago abolish
ed steer roping contests, the cattle
men of the state being the ones
who asked for the law and saw
that it passed. No cattleman who
believes in humane treatment of
animals will be found defending a
steer roping contest. Bucking
contests, in which horses are
abused, are only a shade less cruel,
and are fully as needless as the
roping contests. Both these forms
of entertainment belong to a dead
period of Western life, and life,
and live Western communities will
do well to abandon them for some
thing better rejecting the spirit
of the age:-Denver Republican.

johnson Rose Badly Wounded

Last Friday evening, about 10
O'Clock, Johnson Rose, of Medi-
cine Bow whose family resides
here, was shot by a man named
Edwards. The wounded man was
taken to the hospital at Laramie
as soon as possible and it was
found that one shot had taken eff
feet, entering from the back, Just
below the right kidney, and COM
ing out in the right groin. Rose
has been unconscious most of the
time and it is not believed he can
recover. Edwards used a Win
chester and only one shot was
fired.
Jealousy is said to be the cause
of the shooting. Edwards, who is
a sheepman, came home and
found Rose at his house. When
he ordered Rose to leave, the
latter made some remark that in
famed Edwards to the shooting
point. Sheriff Horton went to
Medicine Bow and got Edwards
and is holding him pending the
result of the wound inflicted on
Rose.
The following is from Mondays
Boomerang
Although his body was pene-
trated by the bullet from a 30-30
rifle causing a seemingly fatal
wound, johnson Rose who was
shot by Mark Edwards at Medi-
cine Bow Friday is still alive and
has better than equal chances for
recovery. Rose still contends that
he was at the Edwards residence
when shot by the irate husband
and declares that he has never
been intimate with Mrs Edwards.
A dispatch from Rawlins to the
Boomerang says that Edwards was
taken to that city from Medicine
Bow Saturday night by Chas
Fauver and is in the county Jail
in that city, He will not be
charged until the result of Roses
injury is known.

women and children to trail
through the accumulated manure
and to dodge passing teams is a
matter that should arouse the
pride OF every property owner in
Saratoga. Several times the
matter has been discussed public
ly but Encouragement upon the
part of some who lack public pride
and on the part of county COM
missioners who have failed to
recognize the growth of Saratoga
has always put a stop to negotia-
tions.
Mr.. Burns of the Saratoga
Springs Company recently
brought the matter to the atten-
ton of the county commissioners
and was assured that if the people
of Saratoga actually want to make
the suggested improvement the
the county would meet the town
upon a reasonable basis. The
time for this work is before the
rise of water and when it can be
accomplished at the least expense.
Let the Board of trade, the town
council and all progressive citizens
get together and urge prompt
action.
