visitors who have dreamed of the Lar
annie valley as an inland plain, incap-
able of producing anything but wild
grass and cattle.
Vegetables and Fruits.
Edwin Moore Of Moore, as usual, Is
on hand with a splendid display OF
vegetables and fruits. Mr.. Moore has
been exhibiting at the fair from the
first and has done his full share in
demonstrating the availability Of tbs
soil and climate Of the Laramie val
ley in the production OF the stun the
PEOPLE consume.
Thomas Hebron has a nice display
OF corn, rutebagas, potatoes, turnips,
alfalfa, peas, beets, carrots n par
ships. Mr.. Hebron is raising sweet
corn without difficulty, ever when one
recalls the many drawbacks in a eli.
matte way suffered this summer. The
stalks are four or five feet high and
the ears several inches long, well fill.

Hebron says, is as sweet to the taste
as any he eve saw
Mines and Forestry.
The Carbon Timber company and Al.
bert Richards have q forestry and min.
ing display that IL unique and at the
same time instructive. Some months
ago the Carbon Timber company sent
an expert photographer to the Chey-
enne national forest with instructions
to take pictures showing every phase
Of timbering as carried on by that
company. Mr.. Rogers made several
dozen plates and he has finished many
pictures, which are displayed to good
advantage on the walls Of the mining
and forestry booths. They picture life
in the forest during the busy season
Of chopping and handling railroad ties,
mine timbers, bridge timbArs and saw.
logs. The company has a large force
of men, So divided that the work Ia
carried IN like clockwork, and the
photographers camera has been able
to reproduce these to perfection.
showing BY the Mines
Mr.. Richards has been at some
pains to make the best showing of the
mineral possibilities of the county ev-
er undertaken. He has collected sam
pies from every mining property OF
producing kind in the county, number
ing nearly. 100, and these samples he
has displayed In the booth. They en-
brace gold, silver. copper, lead and
zinc ores, iron and coal, the latter In
Guiding samples from the Citizens
mine, now attracting some attention
in a local way, and from the famous
Raich mines in North park, toward
which the Laramie, Hahns Peak and
Pacific Railway company is rapidly
building a line Of road from this city
by way Of Centennial. This coal road
will reach one of the richest coal
fields in the United States and will
at the same time touch or nearly touch
the gold and copper mines Of the Key
stone district, the Centennial district
and others from which Mr.. Richards
has drawn samples to edify and inter
est other people.
M~arveiousIy Rich Ores.
The ores represent values in min
erals from a few cents to the ton to
the marvellous value of $4,000 to the
ton, the latter in gold that ranks with
the richest ever found anywhere. Of
course, the richest Of the ores is moi
found in measureless quantities, but
there Is enough OF it to demonstrate
that ore Hes near where 1t came from
and that the pick Of the miner may
sometime bring 1t to the surface. Tho
coal we all know is being produced at
this moment In SUFFICIENT quantities to
justify feverish effort, on the part OF
men of millions to hurry their road
building across mountains and over
valleys to get 1t to market.
Butter for Your Broad.
The wyoming Creamery company,
one Of the infant concerns CT the rich
Laramie valley, has q good display OF

Of Mr.. Randall OF Boulder, n Of the
members of the company and an ex-
perienced creamery man.
