FOR FAMILY
STATE EXAMINER HENDERSON
UPON MATTER OF HOMESTEAD
LAWS FOR WYOMING.
Laramie Literary Club Upon
Subject and Gives His View Of
ant Chief in Forest Service at
Washington Also a Speaker.

The discussion last night, at the
meeting of the Laramie Literary club,
OF the question of the management of
the public domain, was somewhat
handicapped by the absence Of C. P.
Arnold, who was to have spoken of the
work of the recent convention at Den
yer.
There were a number Of interesting
talks, however, those given by Mr..
Henderson Of Cheyenne, Mr.. w. G.
Weigle OF Washington, the Assistant
Chief Of the Office Of Management of
Forest Service, n by Mr.. N. E.
Corthell proving of especial interest.
Mr.. Henderson spoke OF the extreme
Importance OF the matter, and that all
Of the methods, so far proposed, look
ing to the satisfactory adjustment OF
the conflicting interests were found to
be at fault in essential particulars.
Henderson said that he is a strong
advocate of the making Of the home
stead one mile square, the prospective
settler being allowed to take up $40
acres but in a block. This plan would,
in the speakers opinion, tend greatly
to induce settlers to come to Wyoming,
and would, al the same time, SO work
that the settlement of the range Ques.
ton would soon become a matter of
fact. What we want in Wyoming Is
homes. and the operation of the pres.
ent homestead law is harmful to this
state, where 100 acres will only sup
port a family under exceptionally ia.
vorable circumstances. The matter of
the increase of the homestead allot.
ment had been mentioned by Mr.. Hen.
derson recently to Congressman Mon.
dell. who thought favorably of the plan.
No General Rule Applicable.
Mr.. Weigle of Washington, being
called upon to speak, said that it was
a great pleasure to him to hear at first
hand the opinions of men who are look,
ing into the question here in the west.
He mentioned several of the plans ad'
vanced by members Of the club, and
spoke Of the objections which would
come up in regard to each. Mr.. Weigle
said that the matter could only be

laborers Being Paid.

Auditor l. w. Emmons of the Lar.
annie Plains line this morning paid off
one of the gangs of Greek section
laborers employed on the line, the men
having been discharged several days
ago. Their work was not satisfactory
to Superintendent Stewart and he dis.
missed them from the service Of the
company. The s%urfacing of the track
is proceeding, a large amount of good
dirt being delivered wherever it is
needed to place the track in excellent
condition.

solved by an earnest effort Of all con.
cerned to look at the matter from all
sides and from all points Of view.
The interests affected are SO diverse,
and differ SO much in different local..
ties, that, ever in a limited degree, no
general rule can apply. II all con-
cerned will approach the matter in a
fair spirit and willingly lend their best
efforts to the federal government and
the state governments, the problem
will be eventually solved.
Local Control Of Lands.
Mr.. N. E. Corthell read a rough out.
line of a statute which would, in his
opinion, tend greatly to the solving of
the problem. The idea advanced by
Mr.. Corthell, and which he said he had
outlined in q brief interview with Con.
gresham Mondell, is local control Of
lands by the school districts affected.
In fact, that all qualified electors In a
school district shall have the right to
vote upon the disposition of the lands
in that school district, in SO far as the
disposition does not interfere with the
existing land laws as relating to home.
steads, etc, the disposal of the lands
to be temporary. This plan would, Mr..
Corthell allowed, be open to the objec.
ton that the voters In a school dis
trict are inclined to squabble over
questions of public interest, but he
commended that the decision they would
eventually arrive at would be for the
best in that particular community, and
much better than any plan adopted by
those who could not be in touch with
local conditions.
Other speakers were A. N. Hasen.
kamp, John Ernest, James Hardman
and E. N. Rogers.

Box Car Attire in Yards.

The roof of a box car afire in the
yards caused the fire department a
run at 1850 this afternoon, but the
apparatus did not go beyond the rail
road crossing, the fire being gotten
under control by yardmen. The loss
was inconsequential. The alarm vas
sounded from the shops and attracted
a large number of people.

Waiting for the Casing.

w. w. Doyle, the well driller, who
has his outfit at Plains, on the Laramie
Plains line, is awaiting the arrival of
some casing for the well, which is
coming from West Virginia, and if
that arrives in a day or two, he will
resume operations there. A good body
of water was encountered some time
ago, but it proved to be unfit for use,
and it will be piped off and the well
sunk deeper, in the expectation of find
ing all the water needed and of an
excellent quality, the same as at Mill
brook.

Many Miles in Operation.
The Union Pacific now has complete

BILE track in Nebraska, Wyoming and
Kansas. The track in operation in
Wyoming is from Rock Springs to
Point Of Rocks, twenty-five miles;
from Hanna to Lookout, thirty miles;
Laramie to Hermosa, eighteen miles,
and from Buford to Archer, t~hirty-fve
miles. In Nebraska the double track
is complete from Watson's ranch to
Clarks, eighty-one miles; Valley to
Lane, eleven miles; Gilmore to Omaha,
six miles, making a total of ITO miles
in Nebraska. In Kansas the only dou.
BILE track is from Topeka to Kansas
City, a distance of sixty-seven miles.
Likely to Be Doubled.
The double track mileage in Wyo'
ming and Nebraska is likely to be dou'
bled before fall, as large forces of men
are at work in several districts.

Word reached the city this afternoon
by telephone from Centennial that con,
siderable excitement exists there over
a reported find of a very rich lead OF
gold west Of that place. on the other
side OF Centennial mountain, where P.
H. Daley and Jacob Schnitxler are
working. The report was confirmed by
Otto Sander, who was sent yer on
purpose to look into the matter, and
his message made assurance seem Eel
tain.
Crosses Middle Fork.
From the report going the rounds.
the lead exists down the mountain
side. across the middle fork OF the Lit
tie Laramie river and into the hills
on the other side of that stream. 1t
has been traced for a distance of seven
miles, at places being $50 feet wide.
with streaks Of gold-bearing rock that
produce in some instances $1,000 to
the on. 1t is estimated that If the
vein matter exposed by a fourteen-foot
trench would return 500 to the ton it
would make one Of the richest camps
in the state, SO extensive is the lead.
Parent Of Centennial Lead.
Mr.. Sander believes this to be the
lead from which the old Centennial
lead fell when a large slice of the
mountain tumbled in some prehistoric
geological phenomenon. 1t appears to
be a continuation of that vein, only
richer and more extensive. Claims are
being staked at intervals and residents
of Centennial and Laramie r having
close Investigation made to determine
the value Of the find.
Shifts are working night and day in
the Utopia tunnel. This morning the
miners were working in tale and
expected to open into the vein matter
at any moment, with every prospect OF
a rich find when the wall is penetrated.
The excitement on both sides Of the
mountain is considerable.
