Enoch P. johnson and his
brother were in the city Monday.
johnson says he has 60 acres un-
der the pillow and under the ditch,
besides hundreds of dollars worth
of improvements. His ranch is a

neighbors, Robert T. Wood and
Loren Gross, all of whom started
in at the same time at the foot of
the ladder and have worked their
way up to a point where they are
now comparatively Independent.

SHELTER
AT DILLON
Reduction Works at Independ.
ence Mine to Open in the
Spring With 50 Men.

- #. ... "E
FL. o. Granberg, who bears the
enviable reputation of being the
best mining promoter in Wyom-
ing, came down from Dillon
Wednesday en- route to his home
in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he
will continue active work with
capitalists promoting the welfare
of the Carbon county mining
district.
Mr.. Granberg, who has devoted
his personal supervision to the
work, has completed the buildings
for his modern Improved Pyritic
Copper smelter, of 60 tons daily
capacity, for the Independence
mine, two miles north of Dillon.
The building is 1O2 feet long and
36 feet wide and 3 stories high,
containing all modern conven-
fences and has a complete set of
ore and coke bins. Mr.. Granberg
has laid in a full stock of supplies
and will run a day and night shift
all winter. The ore taken out will
be treated al soon as the smelter
starts in the spring. A force of
40 to 60 men will be employed to
operate the smelter and do roust
about work The coke will be
manufactured at the Stcmps coal
mine and the supplies and provi-
sions, as far as available, will be
purchased from Snake river mel
chants and ranchmen, thereby
opening up an avenue for consid-
cradle business for our people.
Mr.. Granbera liz an optimlst of
the first blood and apprehends at
a glance the great opportunities of
this limitless mining field as well
as the stock and agricultural pur-
SUITS OF u country.
He represents worlds of capital
and while he has worked against
contingencies in the form of peo-
pie of pessimistic design, success
is sure to crown his endeavor.
He has opened the Stemps coal
mine and has, from close investi-
cation, determined that they have
in sight twenty-five million tons
of semi-anthracite coal, which
compares favorably with any cox
ing coal in the United States. A
crew of six men have a contract
taking out coal for the Ferris
Haggerty mines, thus developing
the property and creating a divi-
dend for Mr.. Granberg.
he explained that the other
mining properties are enjoying a
very active period in developing
and shipping ore and that the
tramway is running at it's full cap
acity.
Mr.. Grapberg will return about
June LIST and will rush the work
of treating ore the balance of the
year.-Snake River Sentinel.
