As the first session of the sixtieth
Congress draws to close, the record
of legislation is being anxiously
scanned by those who will have to
defend Congress against partizan
attacks in the coming campaign. The
most cursory examination reveals an
amount of legislation far in excess of
popular superstition, and including
many laws calculated to reflect the
utmost credit on the republican party.
Many important measures have failed,
it is true, and to the cursory observer
it might seem that those most needed
have failed of enactment, but reflec-
ton win demonstr ate that it is the
measures which encounter opposition
and excite controversy which sre
most in the public mind, as they are

Frank A. Stockbridge brought a freak
brook trout into Ellsworth last week.
The forward half was perfectly developed,
back to the anal fin, but back of that the
fish was deformed. The line which in a
perfect fish runs lengthwise ON the side
from head to tail made a sharp turn
upward to the back. The fish rounded in
like perch. The tail was perfect, but
small. 1t is probable that the fish when
small was attacked by larger fish, which
bit piece out of its back near the second
dorsal fin. The wound healed and drew
together. The tail resumed a horizontal
position, but the growth of the back half
of the fish was retarded. The trout, il
perfectly formed, would have weighed
about half pound. The fish will be
mounted as curiosity by Eugene
Braun q Co.

The Acme Group in
Gold Hill to be
Developed
Shaft House and Buildings In.
tact, Ready for work to
be Resumed.

Word has been received here
that Hon. Otto Gramm, president
Of the Wyoming Development &
transportation company, intends
to commence work on the Acme
group of mines at Gold Hill IN the
spring. This will be good news
to all those having interests in
that camp, for it will have the ef-
feet to again turn attention to
what many believe to be the rich
es deposit of gold in the west.
The Acme mine, the one on
which a large amount of develop
ment work has been done. is of
undoubted value, as are all of the
claims connected with it. 1t has
been sunk on to a depth of 265
feet, at which point a very rich
lead, two feet and a half in thick
ness, bearing gold and silver, was
found between we'll defined walls.
Thousands of dollars were spent
there . few years ago by Van
Horn and Miller in the construc-
ton of a shaft house and reduce
ton mill, and in hosting machin-
cry, air compressor, etc, all of
which has been taken care of and
is intact and ready for use when
required. There are a number of
DWELLINGS,, an Office, blacksmith
shop, stables, and other buildings
On the ground, which have been
kept in shape for use, and when it
is decided to begin operations the
camp will be moved on in force
and the development work COM
menced.
1t is expected that once work is
started in that gold camp that it
will be prosecuted vigorously, and
that Gold Hill will soop become
an important factor in the mining
world of Wyoming.

To Work Mohawk Coming Year.

W. H. Green states that it is
the intention of Mr.. Hitch and he
to work the Mohawk mine at Gold
Hill the coming year. The test
run made the past winter was very
satisfactory, and encouraged them
so much that they will make an
active campaign in the develop
ment of the mine this spring and
summer with every prospect of
rich returns. They are convinced
that the gold is there in paying
quantities, and that IA sufficient
amount of development work will
prove that they have a gold mine
that will make big returns.

An Intelligent Horse.

"Nuggett"is the name of a young
lron-grey mare, the property of
Hubbard Harter, hat displays
more than ordinary "horse sense"
To begin with she comes from
very aristocratic blood, her mother
being a Kentucky Whip and
her father an imported thorough
bred. For several weeks she was
kept in the yard at the Harter res
idence. She had no company of
her own kind, so she took up with
Mrs. Harter and would follow her
around like II dog, and come at
her call, displaying almost human
Intelligence. She would follow
Mrs. Harter to the kitchen door,
and walked in every opportunity
she could find, manifesting hel
desire for companionship.
Finally she got so she could
turn the door knob with her teeth.
so one day she opened the door
and walked right in and put her
head into the sitting room and
took a look around. From that
time on Mrs. Harter was compel
led to lock the door to keep her
out. When Nugget was supplied
with company of her kind she
ceased her attempts to enter the
house and is now quite content.
