l and two, block 5, Hot Springs
addition, as the location for the
new electric light plant and has a
force of men 10Y at work rushing

A Hale and Vigorous Pioneer

A. H. Huston was down from
his Cow creek ranch Saturday and
paid this office a call. MI. Huston
is one of the old, old timers of
Wyoming, yet he retains the vigor
and strength of manhood in a re-
markable degree. He does not
look a day older than when, in
1879, he took up a ranch on Cow
creek where he now has over 1900
acres of fine land which cuts over
1000 tons of hay, as well as hun
dreds of head of cattle.
Mr.. Huston came to Wyoming
in 1859, in its early territorial days
and was employed by the notorious
Slade to hunt for the Old Over
land Stage Company and his range
was from FIT. Halleck, (now n part
of the ranch of Michael Quealey,)
to Virginia Dale.
The history of those times, as
told by Mr.. Huston who retains a
lively recollection of those tragic
days, is more interesting than any
romance ever written. He was
always accorded first rank among
the expert rihemen of that day and
rarely missed a shot. In later
years, since he took up his resi-
dence on his ranch, he was re3u.

ELIHU ROOT
Will Likely Succeed President
Observation-Disclosures by Con-
gresham Mondell from this
State

A Washington dispatch is to the
effect that Congressman Mondell
is for Root for President:
In an interview discussing the
candidacy of Taft, Mondell said:
"Elihu Root is the strongest man
the Republicans could present. 1t
has seemed remarkable to me how
general this feeling is. Taft is
much liked and admired and is a
big, good natured, whole souled
man. The feeling toward him,
while the kindliest, has, however,
been no real capitalization of OPP
inion about the presidency. The
personality of the mar will be one
element, his attitude on public
questions another" Taft's state
ment seems to afford Legitimate
grounds for considerations of candi-
dates, and doubtless opinion will
take form faster hereafter than
heretofore"

From good authority the Sun

Giant group, consisting of seven
claims, located very near the Doane
Rambler mine, have sold an option
for $4,000. The matter has not
yet advanced far enough to be an
absolutely sure sale, but it is quite
certain that the property will
change hands shortly.
The n are Fl. L. Kuyken-
dali and Frank Jones of this place
and Frank Fl. Hunter and Andrew
Woodward of Encampment. The
option was given to an agent of

WORKING
A Copper Camp on the Head
Waters OF French Creek that is
Coming Into PrOminence--are
Working two Shifts.

w. E. Steinespring, the foreman
of the Shawnee Copper Mining
company, which is operating on
the copper mine of that name, on
the head waters of French creek,
was a Saratoga visitor Sunday ard
Monday'of this week.
Mr. Steinespring made this Office
a pleasant call and while here gave
us many interesting facts concern
ing the Shawnee. In response to
inquiries he said:
''The Shawnee mine is located a
mile and a half south of French
creek and about IL miles north
east of the ranch of jackson l..
Brown. We Lave thirteen men
employed at this time and u two
shifts night and day, each shift
being on eight hours NJ a time.
There are seven cabins in the camp
and it looks like a small village.
1.-The Shawnee is an iron dixie
60 feet in width. The matter in
this dixie runs all the way from |
to = per ct. copper. The company
think when they get through this
iron cap that they will strike a
large body of copper ore. At
present we are down 100 feet.
From that level a cross cut 40 feet
in length encountered several
startas of glass and pieces rs large
as a mans hand were taken out.
"The dixie matter is very hard
and we are able to make only from
one and a half to two feet per day
1t is the intention of the company
to sink to a depth of 300 feet.
"The company operating the
Shawnee-the Shawnee Copper
Mining Co., is a Shawnee, Okla
homa, company. Some of the men
interested in his same company
have bought property in the vicin-
ity of the Shawnee and are prepar-
ing to work it this winter by hand
power until they strike water.
Machinery will be brought in this
coming winter on the snow and in
stalled in the shaft house which is
to be constructed. They will then
push the development of the lead
as rapidly as it can be done.
Everything promises now very
favorably for a large. camp there.
The character of the ore and the
numerous leads go to show that
when ore is found that it will be of
a superior character. We look for
good developments there in the
next 80 days"

entire valley. In addition to these good works of Mr. Holt h developing and building up the valley and It's ln- terests there are a number of other matters we might mention. He reor- ganlzed the bank at BraWley greatly to the benefit of that place. And during the times of our greatest troubles and when everything looked most dlscour- aging Mir. Holt kept right on in his work of building up and developing the industries and enterprises he owns and controls. The outcome of It all has proven the wisdom of hls course.
 Some say building a town at Fl Cenro would be like sandbagglng lm- perlal. do not think so, for In farming community such as this valley always will be there will be a great need for shipping facilities. Towns should not be more than four miles apart and side tracks and shipping sheds will be needed in between. We don't need the big towns and probably never will have them, but we do need the shipping convenleaces and will need them more and more. Fl Centro Is not too close to Imperial and both can be as big towns as we need. Each town should have good hotel, for when the railroads come and the great travel Is through the valley the hotels will all be full and that will all be good for the farmers.
 was in Imperial few days ago and a prominent citizen pointed out some of their fine trees and grape vines for my inspection. have been watching those trees for four years and must say they don't compare with the trees grown at Calexico have some trees growing at my place that are 60 inches In circumference and much larger than the ones at Imperial. Another thing have noticed at Imperial. They have to keep water standing around theil trees and vines almost continually ol the ground will bake and they will dle. Such soil would never do to build a court house on. We don't want oul public buildings located on harc adobe flat that will not grow trees without having water standing around them. We want them on soft, loamy land that will take water freely. then there won't need to be puddes of wat CT around every tree. as would be the case if Imperial gets the county seat. And even with that their trees are scrubby and stunted.
 MT. Voter. just imagine yourself a juror locked in a room in brick build ing standing in the sun, with a few scrubby trees around it and with the thermometer at top notch
