GOLDEN PRINCE OF PIOCHE, new.

With the sinews of development re-
Gently provided for and the necessary
machinery and buildings all in readi-
ness. the Phoebe Golden Prince Mining
company has started out on a winters
campaign on its property in the great
camp which should ultimately prove
one Of the leading mines of the district
There is TO property in the camp
which holds out greater prospects than
does this mine, and there is every indi-
eaton that il will rank with the heavr
est producers as soon as the develop
ment work which is now being pushed
with vigor is we'll under way.
There is no telling how big a propo-
sition the company has in its mine, but
there is sufficient surface indication
and its proximity to the proven great
mines of the camp. to satisfy the man
agement that they are on the right
track TO the big body of ore which is
known to run through the property.
On Great Prince Ledge.
The Golden Prince estate covers $500
feet on the strike of the Prince Consoli-
dated company's great ledge, which is
from 125 TO 2Z5 feet wide II also has
vein, which carries about four feet of
Prince mine which have been opened.
Aside from this great showing in the
property it developed in grading for the
wagon road in the Golden Prince
ground that there was a twenty-five
foot ledge which showed ore of the same
characteristics as the famous Yuba
mine.
Careful samples of the ore in this vein
showed on the surface average values
OF Is ounces in silver, So in gold and a
trace of lead. This is regarded as one
OF the most important finds made in
the district recently.
The Golden Prince is sinking a double
compartment shaft, which is down to a
depth Of 100 feet at present. This shaft
has been continuously in the Prince big
vein. At eighty-five feet in the shaft
an average sample of the bottom
showed values of SO ounces in silver, 81
in gold and S.91 per cent lead. 1t is the
of the management of the
company to send The shaft down TO the

tie shipments Appropriated $S,000,000 in
value. Approximately $1,000 horses
were shipped from the state in 1908, re-
turning s1,5O0.000 to the growers. A
noticeable increase over 1907 is mani

Mining.
Coal mining during 1908 shows a slight
decrease in production over 1907. due to
strikes and falling off in demand the
latter part of last winter. During the
course of the year the coal resources
of the state have been very extensive
ly explored and developed, in spite of
the financial depression. No less than
thirteen new producing mines have been
opened, increasing the number of ship
ping properties SO 1-3 per cent. The to-
tai number of shipping mines in the
state is now fifty-two. employing 1902
men. 1t is confidently expected that
in 1909. with the general resumption
of business activity and the new col
lieries opened up, all previous records
in coal production will be surpassed.
During the year the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company has increased its produce
ton of iron ores from the Sunrise prop
critics from 100000 tons in 1907 to $4,000
tons in 1908. The mining of iron ore is
second in Wyoming to that of coal, and
promises to become one of the heaviest
shippers within a short time. The pres
ent producing mines are located at Sun
rise, Chicago and aHrtville in northern
Laramie county, although other large
deposits have been discovered in other
parts of the state, notably at Iron
mountain. near Cheyenne, and also in
the vicinity of Rawlins. The Sunrise
Chicago-Hartville properties are con-
trolled by the Colorado Fuel & Iron
company and the ore is shipped to the
Minnequa plant at Pueblo. The extern
sion of the Union Pacific up the Platte
river TO the Iron mountain district,
coupled with the fact. that agents of
the Hartman interests have located
large tracts of land in that vicinity,
leads to the conclusion that before the
close of 1909 this corporation will begin
mining ores for its own rails in this dis
trict.
Wyoming has produced more of the
precious metals within the past twelve
months than in 1907, but only small
SilipillcillS nave Dcen Indue, ana work
in this line has been largely confined
to the establishment of improved works
and wider development. New copper
prospects have been uncovered in vari-
GUS parts of the state. notably at Sherf-
dan and in the Copper mountain coun-
try near Thermopolis, and tests of high
quality have been made on the Wind
river sands near Shoshone. 1t is given
out that these properties will be ex-

approximately s3,500.000. Many large
private irrigation enterprises have been
completed during the year, and are
rapidly being settled upon by people
from the east. Big Horn, Sweetwater,
Johnson and Sheridan counties have no.
tably increased their irrigated areas
through this source. A large private
enterprise that will furnish water for
portion Of its land next spring is the
La Prele Ditch & Reservoir company,
in Converse county. This concern takes
canal from La Prele creek, and will
reclaim $4,000 acres of fertile land near
Douglas The dam will cost $3.50, 200,
and the entire project win cost 100000.
A large acreage has already been sold
and water will be available the coming
season.
Railroad Building.
Everything indicates large amount
of railroad building in the state in 1909.
The recent sale of the Colorado &
Southern to the Hill roads gives that
system big share of the present mile
age in the state, and seems certain to
promise the early completion of the line

S00-foot level before starting to block
out the ore
Only a short time ago F. V. Dan
kowske and associates at Ogden took
large block of the treasury stock of
the company after experts had made a
thorough examination of the property.
They found it is almost a certainty that
the Prince great ledge is the mother
lode of the district. The ore bodies
have been formed by concurrence of
the Yuba dixie with the mother lode.
The bonanza mines of the early days
were on the Yuba dixie. and the discov-
cry OF the mother lode, granting the
correctness of this theory. multipIies the
possibilities of the camp.
The property of the Golden Prince
adjoins the Prince Consolidated on the
north, and lies between that mine and
the Abe Lincoln group. which has Just
been purchased by Weber. Kirby &
Hobson and the Nevada Hills crowd.
William j. Pugmire. the welI-known
local mining man, who recently made
an examination of the properties at the
camp, has this to say about the Golden
Prince; Among the best looking Young

Dry Farming.

ing of several colonies in Wyoming Tor
the purpose of dry or scientific farm
ing. While this has been carried on in
a small way in various parts of The
state for years, the season Of Ig6S
marks the real extensive development
in this line AS an example of what has
been done, the Cheyenne land office has
recorded 1880 homestead entries in the
past two years, two-thirds of which has
been for dry farming. The large acre-

successful thus far, and the states tax-

increased through this source within

The wool market continues low

By way of explaining away a para

CONTENTS SAVED.
A disastrous fire occurred at the
village of Mcdowell on Monday
morning about 2 o'clock. The
blaze originated in the storehouse
occupied by Mr.. s. B. Rexrode,
and had gained such Roadway when
discovered as to preclude the posi-
bility of extinguishing it or saving
any of the contents of the building.
In addition to the loss of this
building with it's stock of merchan-
disc, the post-ofice and Evick's
harness and saddle shop went up in
smoke.
The governmentsupplies were, in
the main, saved, but virtually moth
ing from the other buildings. One
of them contained but little except
some school desks which had been
brought there for use at at recent
entertainment.
Mr.. Evick's loss is very heavy on
him, there being no insurance on
anything.
Mr.. Rexrode carried an insurance
of 81 $50 on his stock OF goods.
The entire loss is estimated at
So, 900.
As to it's origin, we regret to
learn that circumstances point to
incendiarism. Mr.. Henry IRVINE,
who had cotton up early in order
to reach Crabbottom in time to
open his school, passed down the
street and saw some one strike a
match in the store building as he
passed. Surprising it to be Mr..
Rexrode, he went on to get his
horse, but soon discovered a blaze
or light which alarmed him. He
ran to the store aud found the
front door unlocked.
The people of the town were soon
aroused and on hand. Messrs.
Rexrode and Pullin were asleep in
the store-building and were with
difficulty awakened, so soundly
were they sleeping.
The progress of the fire was such
as to render possible the saving OF
the McNulty shop, occupied by Mr..
Wilfong in the manufacture Of sad
dies and harness, and which was in
close proximity. Mr.. Wilfong was
ohe ant attending the funeral of his
motho- but his stock of goods was
