Will Start Business.

j. II. Mufitt, of Salt Lake, was in
Richfeld last week. and on Friday
bought 9 lots in Richield in the
block with the J. G. White Co. ware
house, near the railroad. He Intends
to open a lumber yard, as soon as he
can get the material here, and ne
Mas ordered several cars of stuff that
should be here possibly this week.
He will get material for the lum-
Der sheds, the first thing, and have
the sheds built as soon as possible.
The yard is to be fenced also, and
an office built.
Mr.. Murfitt is an old time con
tractor and builder. He was for
some years contractor for the Colo
RADIO Iron and Fuel Co., and built
for them many houses. He also
built so houses for the American
Smelling and Refining Co., at Gar
field, and 100 houses for the New
house Mining Company at Newhouse.

lumber and material man, and he
is investing enough money here to
make him one of the most desirable
new citizens in Richfeld.

MUST sLEEP
Constant Crowds Overtax Sleeping
Accommodations in Richfie1d.

There has been a great scarcity Of
sleeping Accommodations here in Rich
1eld-so great, that few men have
been able to hold a room for indi-
vidual use. There is scarcely a room
in town that has not two OF mor
occupants-and the condition is be-
coming more and more chronic. With
the coming of the big hotel, with it's
37 rooms, and possibly cot accomo-
dations for yet other guests, it may be
expected that the rush will be acco-
modated; but many travellers are
merely awaiting the coming Of the
hotel, enough of them so hal just
that much more travel must be ex-
pected and the rush will not be abait-
ed.
There ought to be a fine opportunity
for one or two good rooming houses
in addition to those now in business
for the town has only begun it's
growth, and the real crowds are not
yet even on the road headed for this
place.

VISITOR.
U. S. Mineral and Water Inspector
Sees RichfieId and the Dam

F. E. Johnesse, special mineral Sc
lector and water investigator for the
federal government, was a visitor in
Richfield Wednesday night of last
week. He was entertained at the
Commercial club organization meet
ing, where he was most completely
and a%greeably surprised by the en-
thusiasm displayed by the people
of Richfield. He predicts great
things for Richfield in the very near
future.
Mr.. Johnesse, in his official capac-
ity, went out to the big dam on the
Big Wood river, where he stayed
Thursday night. He returned Fri
day night, astonished and pleased at
tude and general excellence of the
project. He says that the water
supply is one of the very best in the
West, the dam and canals all that
could be desired, and altogether the
project is safe, conservative and pro-
gressive.
Mr.. Johnesse has for years been
connected with the Blue Jacket, a
promising copper mine in the Seven
Devils country in Washington coun-
ty. He had done an almost superhu-
nan work in hanging on through
multiplied discouragements that
would have frightened away half a
dozen less tenacious men The
shaft is now down $50 feet, with
many long cross-cuts and drifts, and
eminent authorities like Walter Har-
vey Weed have declared that there
is already a million and a half dol
lars in the property. Mr.. Johnesse
feels that when they get a railroad
into his part of the country-which
will be very soon-they will have
one of the greatest mines in the
whole west. He is an old time
friend and n%eighbor of the Recorder
editor.

The Recorder editor, with a party
of friends, visited the h~ospitable
Byrnes ranch on the Big Wood river,
Sunday. The Byrnes brothers, II
their father, have n of the finest
ranches in the whole northwest
1000 acres of irrigated land, much OF
it already in alfalfa, magnifcently
watered, with trees and fish and wild
waterfowl and about every other kind
of crop that is worth while. But bet
ter than all this, they have a hospita-
BILE spirit and the stranger who does
not meet with a cordial reception
there must be less deserving than
mankind should ever get. Mrs.
Michael Byrnes fed the hungry crew
as if they we're princes, p~otentates,
or some kind of rulers-and hat they
enjoyed it is not to be questioned.
