Interesting Letter from G. Fred
Clark Concerning Condi.
tons in East.

The following extract from II
letter from q. Fred Clark, who,
with his wife is spending the sum
mer at his old Michigan home,
will prove very interesting read
ing to our people:

the entire country this spring.
Nearly everybody Is talking of a

Virginia and tennessee, but near

me II half dozen or So of the fold
ers you mention in the Sun. You
know | have every faith in the
valley and | always speak two
words for Saratoga while speaking
one for Wyoming. Wyoming Is
the best state IN the Union and
Saratoga the best place in Wyo-
ming, is my argument.
Il am afraid | did not pay
enough attention to the %ranchIns
business and IN order to give an
Intelligent answer to inquiries, L
would like to have the following
information. What is the v
age crop of oats, barley, potatoes,
hay, in fact all crops grown in the
valley. Does any department of
the state government publish such
statistics? The department of
Agriculture furnishes everything
of hat kind here.
is the company making any
actual progress toward the con-
struction of the East side canal?
In my opinion hat is the project
of most vital Importance to the
people of Saratoga. A large irrl-
CATION canal will bring the set
tiers to the valley and Saratoga
will then be the supply point for
a large ranchlng country.
Among people of a scientific
turn Of mind, and students of
Ethnology aud Natural History, IA
great deal of interest is attracted
to the work of the government
parties who are to explore this
year in Wyoming for the indica-
tions and remains of prehistoric
animals. In fact, | find "A great

Equitable
COPPER CO.
That Company Doing Progress.
sive Development on the Elk
Mountain Mine.

General manager A. l.. Richie,
of the Equitable Copper Compa-
ny, came in from Encampment
Friday and left the next day for
Elk Mountain to look over the
workings of the. company on their
new lease on the Elk Mountain
mine, which took effect on the 4th
of June, the day on which work
Was started. We thoroughly agree
with Mr.. Richie in his enthusiasm
that the Elk Mountain mine, as
the entire Elk Mountain mining
country, is one OF the best mining
districts in Wyoming.
There is already a 200 foot shaft
OF the Elk Mountain mine, with
levels at 100 feet and $50 feet, all
showing high grade copper glance.
AT the bottom of the shaft the wa.
ter line has just been reached.
The ore is changing at this point
to copper sulphides and while it
may be some lower in quality
than the glance it is far better
ore to handle. AT this time there
is no telling how wide the vein is,
as ii has never been cross-cut, but
the entire bottom of the shaft is
in ore.
This mine is already equipped
with the very best machinery and
this insures that the work will
progress rapidly. There are en-
gines and boilers for hoist, cleo
trio drills and all of the machin-
cry is new. Timber for use at
the mine is quite a and the
coal banks of the Southern Wy
oming Coal Company only four
miles distant, furnish fuel for all
purposes, making the develop
ment of the mine a very cheap
and economical proposition.
All of the smelters to whom
samples of the ore have been sent
offer to treat the ore free of
charge owing to the fact of its
containing so much lime, which
makes it a valuable huxing medi-
um. This is another big item for
these people.
The Equitable Copper Co, is
composed of W. d. Scott, presid-
ent, New York City, A. V. Dively,
secretary and treasurer, Altoona,
Pa, and A. l.. Richie, general
manager.
This Company is well and fav-
orably known through out this
mining district, having been work
ing their own property south of
the Itmay in the Battle country,
lOI SDuic tilnc phSb' iuio PioP'i
ty is called the Equitable and
and they have sunk to a depth of
about $50 feet and are still work
ing.
The Equitable is a low grade
property but it is one of the pay
ing kind, and has all the ear
marks of the best property of the
entire valley. The groupings were
Gossen which immediately devel-
oped into decomposed iron car

Der and as the vein is 40 feet wide
there is no doubt about it's devel-
opment turning into Il large ship
per.
At some time in the near future
we will be able to give a more def
mite and comprehensive write up
of the workings of this company,
also we may be able to secure
some pictures for publication of
the mining claims owned and
leased by them.
