IS STILL ON MAP
ONE OF THE LlvEL!EST AS WELL

Eastern Capitalists Visiting Mines and
Incidentally Spending Some Time
In Metropolis Of Centennial Val
Iey-Large Crowd Present or the
Sunday Excursion.

Special to The Republican.
Centennial, Wyo., July al. A.
Eide has returned from a trip to Beav-
err and Douglas creeks, where he has
been doing his annual assessment on
some promising placer claims, and has
resumed his work here with the Tito.
pia Mining company.
Fasteners at Mines.
M. M. Green of the Rambler mine
arrived over the Plains line Sunday,
md in company with X. +. Lawson
and several eastern parties who are
interested in the property, went by pri-
vate conveyance to the mine, where
active development is under way.
Good Sunday Crowd.
An unusually large crowd were out
Sunday on tibet regular excursion from
Laramie and found an ideal day, both
for fishing and mountain climbing.
Many took advantage of the opportun-
ity and visited the Utopia, Combina-
ton and other mines. for the first
time, ana were much surprised at find
ing SO much active development going
on in the district.
Centennial is Chesty.
When the general counsel of the
whole Hartman system, fresh from
the stir and hustle of a great metro
politan city, says such nice things
about Centennial being the loveliest
place he ever visited, and while we
realize we are thoroughly awake to
our great and varied interests, we
pause to inquire, what is the mat
ter with New York;"
PeIton Pieases People.
Centennialites have read with a
great deal of satisfaction and plea
sure the excellent remarks of Clark
Pelton on "The Resorts of Centennial"
before the Laramie Literary club re-
Gently. Perhaps that accounts for the
unusually large crowd that came out
Sunday. And all appeared to have gone
back fully realizing that Mr., Pelton
had not told it all either.
Hotel Keeps Busy.
The business being done by Land
lord Mettler of the Mountain View
hotel during the spring and summer
months up to the present time has
been extremely gratifying, and the
season has only just started.
Summer Resort Buildings.
Mr.. n Mrs. N. G. Sundby have
added several new cottages to their
ideal summer resort north of town
and expect to enjoy a heavy business
throughout the entire camping season
There are quite a number stopping at
this quiet and popular retreat now.
Fishing on Mountain Top.
Several fishing parties have been
up to the Snowy range during the
past few weeks and all have reported
a most excellent time aod in every in
stance a heavy catch of fish. This
locality cannot be excelled by any 9TH
er place on earth for camping and
fishing. The scenery outrivals even
the far-famed Alps.
Needs of Good Roads.
The people of Centennial and the
mining districts to the south and west
of here have been waiting patiently
for action to be taken on the ecom
mendation of the county commission
ers that a county road be built from
this place south and connecting with
the county road at the McNealy
ranch. A road through the west side
of the valley is an absolute necessity
and the absence of such a road is
proving a great drawback to the whole
territory adjacent to the valley.
Has Good Endorsement.
The matter is said to have been up
to the county surveyor long ago, but
nothing appears to have been done of
a satisfactory nature, except the rec.
o~mmendation of the commissioners.
The petition for this road was en-,
dorsed by the Centennial Commercial
club, the Mine owners association, as
well as by a great majority of the
people living in the valley.
