Mining Mans Suggestion.

In a letter to the Laramie Re-
publican, A. F. Lindsey of Cen
tennial said:
"In view of the great interest
being taken by the business men
of Laramie in tungsten" and
"manganese' ores, no doubt with
the idea in view of attempting to
find these ores in the territory
surrounding Laramie, l would
like to call the attention of the
public to the yarns being spun
concerning the great value of
these ores.
To-day there is practically no
market for tungsten ores ever at
$45 per unit, and in a short time
the market will fall back to nor
NAL conditions, which means
around ST per unit,
manganese ores are in demand
but at no such prices as the pub
lie is led to believe. Brazilian
manganese ores are selling at "
cents per unit at sea-board, this
price meaning that no manganese
ores could be mined in this terri
tory and leave any great margin
of profit.
"The time is ripe for the devel-
opment of legitimate mining pro-
perties. The Medicine Bow range
is an ~undeveloped territory that
offers almost unlimited possibili-
ties in a mining way to the man
or association of men who will in
vest their money, and do it in
such a ann that they get re-
suits. This can be done provided
that every mining proposition
that is offered to the public is
forced to pass through a clearing
house composed of the solid bust
ness men of Laramie. This meth
cd will nip in the bud the wildcat
schemes that will surely be sprung
On the public, with the result that
mining operations can be carried
on, not only with the confidence
of the public, but with the assur
ance that will be the re-
suit"

The Lost World.

With this issue we complete the
interesting serial, "On Trial."
which, according to the testimony
of a good many of our readers,
has been enjoyed very much.
Next week will appear the open
ing chapters of the great mystery
novel, "The Lost World" by A.
Conan Doyle. This author needs
no introduction as everybody is
familiar with the stories relating
the adventures of Sherlock Holmes
and his scientific detective work,

FEEDERS REACH
NINE CENTS

Two cars of good grade Here
ford steers, taken to Omaha by
Winthrop Condict for his SOD, w.
G.. Condict, brought about the
best price for feeders that this
valley has ever seen. These two
car loads was hay fed all winter.
While the winter was very severe
on cattle and hay a little short,
yet the Condicts brought their
cattle through in excellent shape
The two ears averaged 100 per
head, or within two or three
pounds of that weight, netting
nearly 500 each. These were g.
year-old steers, and while not
thoroughbred stuff, they were
very good grades. They were not
in the yards at Omaha long be-
fore taken at the above named fig
ure.
Winthrop Condict and his son
are among the biggest individual
stock men in the valley and after
years of steady work and care
have brought their big herd up to
a standard to be envied by men in
the business, Like many others
owe the valley they have culled
out the she stock year by year
and kept nothing but the best
bulls. No better stock let's sun
shine on their backs any where in
the world, than here in this val.

O. E. S. Entertainment.

The local lodge, .. E. s., enter
tanned the Grand Worthy Matron,
Mrs. Dickson, last Thursday ev-
ening at a special meeting. The
lodge met in special session and
initiated a new member for the
benefit of the Matron. Light re-
freshments were served, after the
meeting, which were delicious,
consisting of many good things.
In our last paper we stated that
the Worthy Mstron would enter
tain in the afternoon in honor of
the Grand Matron, but it seems
that this was an error. We were
informed that instead it was
changed to a ride to the federal
hatchery, hot springs and other
points of interest.
Mrs. Geo. E.. Bible, the Mstron
of the Rawlins Chapter, was pres

Base Ball,

The base ball season is on
she's on in full swing, and Sara
toga has a good team that is will
ing to take on any of the Feds,
Nationals or Americans. They
don't even intend to look at any,
thing lesser than that, and such a
team as might play in the Pacific
Coast or the Western, won't have
a chance for even a workout.
Last Sunday, just to show their
speed and get a little needed exer-
else, they played the school boys
team. The tally sheet was thrown
away to suppress any feelings. 1t
was a trife rainy, but otherwise
the day was good, and the boys
had lots of fun, as well as did the
spectators.
Next Tuesday, May Both, the
Saratoga team plays the Rawlins
team on the Fair Grounds dia-
mond at this place, and if nothing
happens to prevent in the line of
weather, you can e a fast game
for a given amount of coin of the
realm, handed over at the gate.
Harvey, the "rooter" and gen.
eral manager, will be there with
lard on his hair. and he thinks
that his team will be 'there" also,
at least he is talking a little real
money. The new suits will have
arrived in the meantime, and the
whole thing will be done up spick
and span.

AS a mystery story writer Mr..
Doyle is practically second to
none, as he has that rare knack of
Keeping you thoroughly mystifed
until the final ehapter, when ev-
erything turns out in an entirely
different way in which you had
had it figured. We hope every
body that appreciates the very
best fiction will take advantage of
this opportunity to get this high
class novel through our columns.

ELECTION FRAUD
Encampmsnt Having Difficulty Over City
Election May 9Th.

Eneampment held a town cleo
ton on May 9th, at which time
there were two tickets in the field.
AT the finish of the count by the
judges of election Foster Kearns
was declared elected mayor by
one vote over Milt Englehart.
AT the special meeting of the
mayor and council to canvass the
vote and seat the new officers, En-
glehart was declared elected by
one vote ove Kearns. 1t seems,
from all reports, that in order to
verify this election that they
broke into the ballot box and re-
counted the ballots.
Now along comes certain citi-
zen who object to the council
opening the ballot box, and the
supporters of Kearns are sore and
are going to find out how the vote
could have been changed, while
others are interested on-lookers,
sticking on the whole push. Just
what this all amounts to we are
unable to say, as we have not
talked to any one competent to
testify, but the above is as near
straight as we can give it to you.

Marine News.

That a United States Marine is
trained to brush his teeth, take a
complete bath, and wash his I'M
derclothing and socks in half a
bucket of water, WAS the assertion
made by preparedness speakers at
a meeting of the Home Defense
League.
Marines die by bullets and not
the ravages of disease, the orators
pointed out, and " under the
most adverse field conditions in
the tropics, members of the Unit
ed States Marine Corps manage
to keep themselves shaved and
clean.
A strong steel helmet, such as
is worn by the armies of France
and Germany as head protection
against shrapnel fire, may be
adopted by the Marine Corps
shortly.
Models of several lightweight
steel helmet, claimed by the man
ufacturers to be absolute protec.
ton against the shrapnel missiles
have been submitted to Marine
Corps officers recently for theiI
approval.
At present no branch of thu
United States fighting forces Ii
equipped with this life-saving de
vice.

Note Right From Front.
Laramie Republican,

A few weeks ago the Republi-
can WAS privileged to reprint
parts of a letter received by Har-
ry Thompson of this city from his
cousin, Charles Fell, now with
the British army in France, and
yesterday Mr.. Thompson received
another, parts of which are print
ed herewith. MIR. Fall says: You
are quite at liberty in letting the
paper there have my letter. l am
pleased they are so interesting. 1
would send yea some news, Har-
ry, but the censor would cross the
names of the places off"
Writing under date of April Is,
from Field Postotice 3d." Mr..
Fell says, among other things of a
more private nature:
Dear Harry: got your letter
of March 10, forwarded from home
a few days ago. OF course you
will know before now where l am.
I wrote to your father a week or
two after we first came to France.
1t was a surprise to US having to
leave Egypt SO soon. We were
not there three months but we
knew that directly the hot wea-
Their came on all danger of the
Turks attacking the Sues canal
would be Owe You see, the heat
is too great for them to march
across the desert. The hot sea-
o was just commencing when
we left. Although it was winter
when we were there, We found it
hot enough for US. Coming across
the Mediterranean, we had quite
a rough passage, and it is not like
being a passenger being on a
troop ship, you know. No matter
how bad a man is with sea sick
ness, he still has his guards and
other duties to do. We have been
very lucky in our sea voyages in
not coming to any harm. One of
the ships that took some of us to
Egypt has been sunk since, and
the one that brought us to France
has been torpedoed since.
"Well, Harry, l have had some
excitement since l came here. l
have been through hell upon
earth. Although the Turks did
MT think fit to tackle US in Egypt,
we are having plenty of fighting
here. The first l saw of the fight.
ing was when We were csmped. q

Two of our aeroplanes were being
shelled overhead, but they were
not hit. But that is an every day
occurrence now. AS long as !

started that there has been on
this front for a long time. 1 was
put on to dig a trench out in the
open. The thunder of the guns
was terrific. 1t was pouring with
rain and it IA a dark night, but
the Germans kept sending flares
up and making it as light as day.
The only thing to do when the
flares go up is to stand perfectly
still and trust to not being seen.
Well, Harry, l never dug 80 fast
in my life. The sweat poured off
of me. A sniper potted at me
two or three times and just miss
ed me, but L had to keep on dig
ging. 1t was like some nightmare.
when the time came for US to
go back to our billets we had such
a march as | have never been in
before. With the rain, the ground
was as slippery as ice. Each of
us was carrying, besides all our
ammunition and rifles slung ACROSS
our back, a pick and shovel. We
were crashing down every few
yards, falling into shell holes all
over the place. 1 got back all
right, though.
Il am writing this letter after
being in the front line. We came
out for a few days rest. My word,
Harry, every incident of our
march into the trenches and the
time We have had in them will
live in my memory always. The
day we went In to lake up our 20.

mans must have got to know We
were relieving TINT day, because
they started to shtil the road
Some of the shells ranr near, bu
none hit us. The trenches were

When we got INTO u position III
the front line there Was only
about $50 yards between us and
the enemy's front line. By hea-
vens, Harry, war is absolutely
hell let loose. The things that
are the hardest TO bear are the
coal boxes and rifle grenades and
trench mortars. The coal boxes
go up to a great height, like an
aeroplsne, and then seem to hang
in the air. What we have to do
is to watch them before they dive
down. There is about Six seconds
to get out of the way of them be-
fore they burst. The rifle gren-
AIDES are a kind of bomb fred with
a rife. There is no chance to get
out of the way of them. Trench
mortars are terrible things, too
the conclusion is so violent. Our
company had the most casualties
of any.
81 thank God 1 came out safe,
although l had some narrow es-
capes. About eight of our men
we're caught in a proper death
trap. One night a party of the
enemy's bombers came across and
threw bombs in on them. 1 think
there was only one that was either
killed or wounded. The following
night about thirty came across to
the same place. We got them
mixed up in our barbed wire en-
tanglements and blew them to
smithereens with bombs. Our
big guns are magnificent. They
sent shells by the dozen crashing
into their trenches. Although
there is 80 much danger, we get
used to it and think if we are hit
we'll, we are. The men laugh
and joke as if there was nothing
the matter, although it is SO aw-
full. 1t is a sight to see a village
being shelled. When we were in
the trenches there was a village
|. about a mile behind us and the
Germans shelled it nearly every
!, day. The shells came over and

Hazel DAWN
!. AT THE LYRIC
THIS EVENING
Another Triumph For Hazel Dawn.
: y. Superb In Famous Players
)sE 80, "The Feud Girl"

Hazel Dawn; The Pink Lady, of the
screen, who has since her appearance
es in Famous Players productions,
become one Of the best beloved pho.
toplay favorites in the world, returns
tonight at the Lyric in that leading
feature producing company's current
release on the Paramount Program,
The Feud Girl. In the role of a res
clute, courageous and thoroughly iov-
able mountain maid whose stout
heart is too proud to allow her to
bend even before the imperious will
of her father, Miss Dawn wins the
sympathy of her audience as even she
has never done before.
She is the daughter of a rugged
mountaineer, the head of the Haddon
clan, and she has been reared with
one thought uppermost in her mind
the hatred Of the Bassett clan, with
whom her people have fought for
many years over the possession Of
iron Mountain, which lies between
them. This fierce antipathy for the
Bassets Is the only evil thought that
ever crosses Nell's mind. She is
naturally Of O sunny disposition,
typical child Of the mountains who
loves all nature-except the Bassetts.
Aside from the exceptionally clev.
er and appealing work which Miss
Dawn does In this thrilling story, the
production has many points Of excep-
tional interest. In order to get Just
the right atmosphere for the tale,
Miss Dawn, Director Frederick Thorn
son and company Of fifteen players
went to the narthern boundary of
Georgia, in the widest mountain dis
trict OF that state where they spent
six weeks In a land that has never
before been photographed on the
screen. 'H40i ''Hr'' T)i ~
Hundreds Of mountaineers appear
In the film, some Of whom have new
er been outside OF their own county.
Many Of them have actually partici-
pated in feuds similar to that which
IL depicted on the screen and they
brought to the scenes Of the play the
very weapons which they had used
In their time.
Through the influence OF railroad
which desires to get right Of way
through the mountain, old Haddon Is
persuaded to seek peace with the
Bassets and to offer Neil as a sacri-
fee upon the altar to the extent OF
marrying her to Bassett. But the
high spirited Nell is too much chip
OF the old block to accept her faith
er's command and she takes her mat
rimonial matters into her own hands
But Chance-Iwith capital Co.
decides against Nell and she weds one
of the Bassetts despite her struggle
to prevent It. She does not discover
that she has welded one Of the hated
clan until It is too late. The reyesa''
lion OF the trickesy tof her husbsnd
nearly brings about q clash between
the two. factions but It II. sverted, o.;
