Mountains Full Of Snow.

Ralph FL. Platt, u of Beaver
creeks prosperous ranchmen, was
down Monday on a business trip.
He informs the Sun that there is
au unusual amount of snow in the
mountains, more than any n on
Beaver creek has ever seen in any
former year. He does not know the
depth of snow fall in the noun
tains, but says that the foot hills
are full and that all single-tree
marks on the trees on timber
trails have long since been COW:
cred out of sight. He believes we
will have very high water i'll the
North Platte river. Stockmen
have been feeding all winter and
while the hay supply is getting
short Mr.. Platt believes the most
of the ranchmen will get thru all
right without serious loss.

the body back with them. The
funeral took place on Sunday and
the body WIS Inferred in the GEM
etery at Centerpoint.
Deceased was well known in
this community where he lived
for several years on the Stanley
Bros ranch on Jack creek. He
moved to Centerpoint, Ore, about
a year ago. He was an honorable,
upright man and one of the salt
of the earth in every community
he lived in. BE was a brother to
j. ). Stanley who was for several
years a resident OF this place but
who now resides in Fit. Collins.
Deceased had many friends in
this place who will regret his IN
death. All send sympathy
to the widow and brother who are
made desolate by his death.

The Charter Oak Smelter.

From those interested in dis
posing of Copper Bar stock for
the purpose of building a smelter
at the Charter Oak mine the Sun
reaches the conclusion that there
will be no doubt about the con-
struction of the smelter, as con
siderable stock has been disposed
of here having hat as a basis of
the sale. The plan is to build a
100000 smelter at the Charter
Oak mine and the terms ON which
stock is being disposed of as fol-
lows: The price of the stock is
so cents per share, % per cent. of
which is payable on the delivery
of the stock, % per cent. when the
smelter is ordered, % per cent.
more when the smelter is on the
ground and the remaining % per
cent. when the smelter is complet-
ed. Over 1900 shares were sold
here in the first day OIL two that
the plan was unfolded and some
shares are being taken right along
The building of this smelter
will mean much for Saratoga. 1t
will be tributary to this place,
as the Charter Oak mine has al
ways been, therefore Saratoga is
vitality interested in seeing the
project carried to a successful con-
clusion. Let every man, who
feels that he can do so, subscribe
for this stock, for by so doing he
will be helping forward a worthy
enterprise and one that will de-
velop the mining interests of the
country.

Death Of T. ". Stanley

L. w. Stanley died at Center
point, Ore, last Thursday as a re-
suit of an accident he received on
Tuesday, the BIRD of February.
1t seems on that date he started
to move n team and wagon for a
short distance, taking the horses
by the bits. The team became
frightened and jammed him
against a barn, from which he re-
ceived internal injuries. He was
taken home and DR.. Rawhouser
called, who found Mr.. Stanley
suffering intensely with indica,
tions of internal injuries. Or
Thursday, as the patient contin.
ued to grow worse, DIR. Rawhous.
er and Mrs. Stanley started to
take him to the Ashland hospital
where he died very shortly after

THAT AUTOMO=
BILE ROAD
Meeting Of Board Of Trade to De-
termine Feasibility Of Build.
ing Road Thru Saratoga.

There was a special meeting OF
the Board of Trade last evening
to consider the feasibility of get
ting the Automobile road from
Denver to the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park to come via Saratoga.
1t is said that a very easy and
comfortable grade from Laramie
to this point can be had thru Ce-
dar creek pass about 10 miles east
Of this point. From here the road
would run over the Sage creek
road to Rawlins, from there to
Lander and on to the Park. The
county commissioners will be
asked to build the road, thus in
creasing the travel via Saratoga
very materially. The Automobile
road from Denver to the Park is
going to be built this coming sum-
mer and our people need to get
busy and put Saratoga on the line
as this will eventually be one of
the most important stopping
points on the entire route.
The Board appointed K. L..
Blood and p. 5. Lovejoy a COM
mittee to make a map of the pro-
posed road from Laramie to Raw
Inns, showing the feasibility Of the
route. james NJ. Rumsey will be
appealed to, as well as Major Com
stock, secretary of the Saratoga
Springs Co., and Mr.. Mainland,
the president of that company
will also be asked to lend a hand
Mr.. Lockwood, the autoist of Lar
annie will be called into consulta-
ton to help on and last, but not
least, the Board will petition the
county commissioners to build a
part of the road and put the rest
in repair. p 5. Lovejoy, the sup
eryisor of the forest reserve, says
there is no doubt but what the
government will build the road
thru the forest reserve providing
the county commissioners will put
the road outside of the reserve in
shape.
Begins to look as tho Saratoga
would be on the great auto line to
the National Park.

GREENE and swore out a warrant
against Walter French, charging
HIM with an assault with intent to
Kill. The case came up for hear
ing at 2 o'clock yesterday but vas
adjourned until tomorrow in or
der to give prosecuting attorney,
Z. Il. Oehler a chance to be ore
ent. French was released on $3.50
bonds, A. W. Eager going his Sc
curity.
French has been drinking heav-
lily for some time and has been re-
fused liquor by all the saloons in
town. He asked for a drink of
Fulkerson Monday night and was
refused, which aDgered him and
and he left the saloon. Soon af-
terward a shot from a % rife
came in at the window, narrowly
missing Fulkerson This shot is
the ground of complaint against
French, it being charged that he
fired the shot. The evidence will
be heard tomorrow. In the mean
time Mr.. Eager has taken French
to the ranch where he will en-
deavor to sober him up. 1t is not
generally believed among French's
friends that he could have fred
the shot.

Milton Moore a Happy Man

The following from the Nevada
State journal will be oe interest
TO our readers, as Mr.. Moore is a
brother of the Misses Moore OF
this place, and formerly res ided
here:
IN. b. Moore, who has for some
time been acting as assistant to
the District Attorney, under ap-
pointment by the. County Com
missioners, pending the passage
of a bill authorizing the appoint
meut of such a regular official at a
stated salary, was yesterday duly
appointed to that position at a
compensation of $1,000 a year.
"Moore is a lawyer of extended
experience, is well regarded in the
community, and is familiar with
local conditions. His appoint
ment will undoubtedly be one
creditable to the county which he
reoresents and to all concerned IL
official circles.
"What with winning a bride
and his permanent appointment
both within a week, Judge Moore
is the happiest man in the city"

for themselves or the camp. Bet
ter it would be TO take one claim
and develop it in the right man
ner than to try and hold on to all
and try to do nothing with any of
them.
Let capital be put into Gold
Hill and used as it should, by 60
ing down, and in a very short
time the camp will be where it
justly belonged Is years ago.

MAGNOLIA AT
GOLD HILL
Late Developments Of That Mine

Winner.

they have been working on the
Magnolia. Their supplies had
been used up and there being, at
this time, between 7 and 8 feet of
snow, it will be impossible to get
more in until spring.
This property belongs to q. w.,
Earl and Glenn Scott, and j. W.
Cluf. They have been sinking a
shaft which is now down 81 feet.
This lead is a true fissure, both
walls being a black cyanite. At a
depth of II feet it was 3 LIZ feet
from hanging to foot wall. Now
at a depth of 81 feet it is Ia feet
from wall to wall. The quartz is
full of free gold, which can be
seen with the naked eye, and
when PANIED, shows some very
coarse gold and considerable fine
gold. What has been considered
the pay streak formerly, contin-
ues to widen with depth and the
last fifteen feet another pay streak
has come in and also continues to
widen. The quartz occurs in
streaks, between which is vein
matter Also on each wall is a
gouge of from 8 to IL inches.
This lead has also been opened up
about $50 feet northeast of the
present shaft, also traced south
west for considerable distance, SO
there is now no doubt as to it be-
ing a very large and true lead. AS
to what it assays, the owners do
not care to make public at pres
ent, but if this property was in
Colorado, the owners would have
no trouble to sell it for enough to
make them all independent in a
very short time. AS soon as it is
possible to get supplies in, the
owners will develop it with an
increased force of workmen. 1t
has not been decided as yet wheth-
er they will continue to sink the
shaft or run a tunnel, but as they
have a fine tunnel site and can be
taking out ore as they go, which
will pay for the work and more
too, they probably will run the
tunnel.
While this is the largest and
richest lead yet discovered in
Gold Hill, still there are other
very rich leads there which only
need working to make them pay
ing mines. The Acme, which is
owned by Miller d VanHorn,
who can command any amount of
capital, and which is between $50
and 175 feet deep, is also situated
in the Gold Hill district. We r
informed by men who did the last
work in the shaft that it was
much richer in the bottom than
ever before and still it is not be-
ing worked. The Mohawk which
Mr.. Scott sold to Chicago parties
in 1902 for $4,000 is also a very
rich lead, still it is only a few
feet deeper 10Y than when the
owners purchased it. Both the
Acme and Mohawk n have
plenty of money at their COM
mand and had they used it in de-
veloping their properties, Gold
Hill would have been whore it is
entitled to be, the richest gold
camp in the west. All Gold Hill
needs is development in a sensible
mining manner. While quite a
little money has been expended
up there, the most of it was thrown
away in mills and gophering
around on top or near the surface,
instead of going down in Mother
Earth and seeing what she had in
store for them.
Also a great many good pros
poets are held by parties who dc
little or no work on them, and
continue to relocate them from
year to year, thus doing no good

The 32O.Acre Homestead Law.

The 32O.Acre Homestead Law.
The passage of the 320-acre
homestead bill was mighty good
news for the people of Wyoming.
1t will result in bringing thous-
ands of people to the state and
will settle all section where rain
fall is sufficient to carry on dry
farming. AS the bill passed it
carries a clause providing for the
designation by the secretary of
the interior of the lands that may
be entered under the act. These
lands must be SO situated that
they cannot be irrigated at a reas-
enable cost.
In the matter of residence there
is no change from the old home
stead law, except that commrta-
ton is not permitted. Residence
must be maintained for a period
of five years to- the exclusion of a
home elsewhere. The lands must
be non-mineral, non-irrlgable, IN
reserved, unappropriated surveyed
public lands. The entry must be
in a reasonably compact body and
not over one and a half miles in
extreme length.
In the matter of cultivation al
least one-eighth of the entry must
be under cultivation the second
year after entry and one fourth
the third year and thereafter until
final proof. Those who have al
ready made homestead entries
may make additional entries of
lands lying contiguous to their
present entries up to a maximum
of $40 acres and have residence
and cultivation of their former en-
tries count as residence and cult
walton upon their additional en-
tries, provided that no person can
enter more than 800 acres of land
under au of the agricultural land
laws of the United States. Those
making additional entries will al
so be required to comply with the
new law in the matter of cultiva-
ton of one-fourth of their entries
until final proof is made.
The fees required to be paid
are the same as at present. The
government fee for a homestead
entry of so acres or less is So, and
for mor than SO acres, SO. The
commissions paid to registers and
receivers in Wyoming are l IL
per cent Of the cash value of the
land fixed by the government In
other words, the charges required
under the new law will be 1922 for
800 acres outside the railroad limits
and $34 inside the railroad limits.
1t will doubtless take some time
for the secretary of the interior to
cause the lands coming under the
provisions of this act to be CLASH
fed and designated, and until
such action is taken no entries
can be accepted by registers and
receivers.
In Albany county it is not prob
able that there is a considerable
quantity of land one-fourth OF
which will bear an agricultural
crop without irrigation, but in
some portions of Laramie county
Converse county, Weston county,
Crook county, Sheridan county
and johnson county there mus
be considerable of this class Of
lands. Uinta county may also
have a considerable quantity. L
it should turn out in the futur,
that agricultural crops may b.
raised with less than ten inches o
rainfall, then Albany county anC
the other counties with that guam
tity Of moisture will get a grea
benefit from the act.-Larami
