MANY RESIDENTS VISIT MOUNTAIN cOnT ON SUNDIY Lack of Definite Plans Prevents Meeting, But Discussion Is Planned for Early ~ Date Through lack of definite understand- ing as to the time and place of the country club meeting on Casper moun- tain yesterday, no meeting was held, although probably twenty carloads of people were on the mountain during the day. Those who are interested ‘in the country club project have therefore decided to call a meeting in Casper In the near future, to see what steps can be taken toward making this beauty spot more easily and safely accessible and of general benefit to the commun- ity. All who visited the mountain yesterday with the purpose of attend- ing the country club meeting will be welcome at the meeting when it is called. And Casper mountain is a beauty spot worth developing. A Tribune rep- resentative visited it for the first time yesterday and was enthusiastic over the scenic beauties of the place. The views which unfold as a car climbs the. mountainside, the great va- riety of trees and shrubbery, so in con- trast to the barren plains below, the canyons and rugged rock formations to be seen on every hand cannot be equaled in the natural parks of many of the great cities of the country. It was impressed upon those (who made the trip, however, that until the road is Widened, or more frequent turnouts are made some sort of a travel rule on the road should be ob- seryed and a schedule of hours at which ears shall make the trip up and down should be posted. For the un- certainty us to what may be met around the sharp turns in the ro the difficulty and danger which weu attend backing to a turnout—down grade cars having the,;right of way according to the understood law «f{ 1), rend-—undoubtedly take away from the pleasure of the trip. A few who compared ideas, thought no cars going to the top should leave Casper jater than noon. With the exception of the hill between the asbestos mine and the ton, the grades on the road are net difficult. Several places are dangerous because of dirt slides which make the read slope to the edge instead of to the inside. The top with its forests of tree! its fre ari covered pastures, springs and little streams is indeed one vast park. The roads on top are in quite good condition for the most part. A few are rough and rocky, but mot much work would be required to put them in shape. Eadesville itself, with its deep cold pring, its groves of quaking asp and pine, its pretty stream, its views of Ferris mountains’ and other ngttiral advantages is an Ideal location for” a mountain resort. The stream “could easily be dredged and deepend in spots —stocked with trout and made a de- light to the fisherman. Tn fancy one can see cabins, more} picturesque than those left by the miners of twenty years ago, covering, the hills on both sides of the valley} where a clubhouse and a general store! would properly he located. i 1 listings of securities of oil companies on the New York stock exchange. all companies on the New York stock exchange aggregaied $516,615,126, or 40 per cent of the total of all stocks of indus- trial companies listed on the exchange represented securities listed by com- panies whose stocks had been previous- ly dealt in on the 422,047,335 were securities of new com- |panies dealt in‘on the exchange for the first time in the last six months. listings on the exchange in the first six months of this year, 19 were new oil companies, making original listings. stock exchange evidences Wall Street's active interest in the oil industry at the present time, exchange believe that there is every ’s Markets by Wire : et Taylor & Clay, Ground Floor, Oil ilding, Casper, Wyoming Northwest -.--------------- 25) 20" Furnished Daily Exchange Local Oil Stocks.

The position of the Texas company in Stephens *county, it is pointed out, is unique, and the action of the company in disposing of some of its acrease has attracted considerable attention among oil operators, as it is stated that this is the first time that the Texas company has ever let go of what might be consid- ered proven leases, listings.

Ttecently a -constantly increasing number of ways have been Utilized for ferro-concrete ship construction. Andj the nation is awake to the need for even further efforts in this line, since its freight bills—minus a merchant marine—are staggering, as for example its grain transport bill of 1,638,000,000 marks in eight months. The experts declare that it is a fairly simple matter to obtain sufficient ce- ment, gravel, sand and iron bars for ship building, but they have been un- able thus far to develop to their satis- faction construction of vessels of more than three to five thousand tons.
