In Cheyenne the annual meeting Of
the Isabella Mines Company was held,
and the present management was con-
tinued in control. President Harris
read his yearly report.
One hundred and eighty thousand
dollars was distributed among stock
holders of the Midwest Oil Company.
The sum represents the quarterly divi-
dend of the company and the first one
paid out. The corporation operates In
the Salt Creek field.
From reliable sources the report
comes from the oil fields that the Ohio
Oil Company has put in a 5000 gallon
storage tank and is pumping two wells
to test their capacity. From each of
the wells they have secured 700 bar
-els in thirty-six hours.
Wyomings oil output, principally
from the wells of the Midwest Com
pany. was nearly doubled in 1914, as
compared with the production OF the
previous year. and amounted to A.
100000 barrels, according to report
received from the United States Geo
logical Survey. The percentage OF In
crease in Wyoming was far greater
than in any other state.

ST. valentine IN YEAR 1754
Love Plants Of Youths and Maidens
Certainly Nc siIIier Now Than
Then.

Some folks find everything worse
than what is old. Among other things.
the behavior of youth is condemned as
more thoughtless and inconsequential
than ever before. The young girl is
called unconscionably silly in regard
to men. But just read this confession
of young girl in 1854:
Last Friday was st. Valentines
day, and the night before 1 got five
bay leaves, and pinned four on the
corners of my pillow and the fifth to
the middle, and then if I dreamt of
my sweetheart, Betty said we should
be married before the year was out.
But to make 1t more sure, l boiled an
egg hard, and took out the yolk and
filled it with salt; and when l went
to bed ate it. shell and all, without
speaking or drinking after it. We also
wrote our lovers names upor bits Of
paper, and rolled them up in clay, and
put them into water; and the first that
rose was to be our valentine Would
you think 1t? Mr. Blossom was my
man. i lay abed, and shut my eyes
all the morning till he came to our
house, for would not have seen an
other man before him for all the
world"
Probably the popular song of today
is the most inane form that the alpha.
bet has ever taken. And yet in the
eighteenth century Tho Cabinet of
Love; or Cupid's Repository" used to
contain this sort of thing:
The beauties of her polished mind,

The hermit freezing in his cell,
Might wish the gentle Flavia we'll.
Certainly the gentle Flavia deserved

Don't Take Poison.

The frequent reports of death by
accidentally taking poison" clearly in
dicate a need for preventing such dis
astrous occurrences. The custom Of
keeping poisons by themselves In a
place out Of reach should be the rule
In every home. The poisonous prepa-
rations should also in addition to be-
ing high up, be locked up in closet.
In the event of sudden illness In the
night. when nobody takes time to
strike light. the cropping hand too
often finds the poison bottle. This
might happen even II there was a

FROM PAGAN TIMES
Celebration of St. Valentines Day
Is One of the Oldest of
On Customs.

st. Valentines day is the outgrowth
of a pagan custom. The feast of Lu.
pe:calia, which was held on February
Is in honor of the great god Pan, was
undoubtedly its origin. At this feast
the names o. the virgin daughters of
Rome were put in box and drawn
therefrom by the young men and
each youth was bound to offer a gift
TO the maiden who fell to his lot and
to make her his partner during the
time of the feast.
This custom became allied with the
name of st. Valentine; probably only
through a coincidence in dates. st. Val.
entine was bishop of Rome during
the third century. He was martyred
on February IA, A ID. 270. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen-
dar his name was given to the day
of his death, and this was made a
festival.
In the days OF quill pens and dear
postage the transmission of valentines
through the post was an expensive
luxury. The amorous swains of that
period had to content themselves and
their idolized fair ones with thick
sheets OF gilt-edged letter paper, the
first page of each being adorned with
gift Cupid. carefully gummed.
With the reduction of the heavy
postal charges printed valentines
gradually came into use. They gen.
orally consisted of gaudily colored

CRIPPLE CREEK PRODUCTION.
Mine Output Greater Than for Several
Years Past.


Years Past.
Cripple Creek.-The mines Of the
Cripple Creek district for January
broke all previous records for several
years, with a production of 1850
tons of ore having a gross bullion val
ue of $1,921,s84.
The remarkable increase in valua-
ton is due principally to the rich
shipment of ore from the Cresson
mine, estimated at approximately
$520,00O. Inability to operate the
Short Line because of a tunnel fire
curtailed the production somewhat,
and with normal conditions aiding the
Cresson shipment the production
would have been over s2,00O.00O for
the month.
