WYOMING, PAST AND PRESENT Benator Warren's Glowing Desoription of the State He Represents, IT IS A WORLD OF MINERAL WEALTH Vast Coal Deposits—A Limitless Petroleun Bolt—Lakes of Soda—Iron Mines—Wo derful Timber—Agricattural Possibill- tles—Prosperoas Towns and Cities, Senator Franols E. Warren, the author of the following articlo on the possibilities and resources of the new state of Wyoming, is one of the most successful mon in that terri- tory. He is a Massachusetts man by birth who shortly after tho late war, in which he served as a union solaler, was over, moved out to Wyoming territory and who has been one of the leading men of that country for the past tweuty-five years. He was ap- poiuted governor of Wyoming by President Arthur aud he served as its governor under President Hazrison until tho territory was admitted a4 a state when he took his place as its represontativa in the United States sen- ate. WasiniNaroy, March 18, —[Special Corre spondence of Tue Bee.]—To your inquiry What about Wyoming? I raply very little, or very much, according to the standpoint from which you view it. Wheu middle-agad men of today were studyiig geography in their youth there was no stato of Wyoming, and there seemen no eligible place in which to lo- cate it, for tho maps exhibited in that long tude ana latitude where Wyoming now is, either a blank space mavked ‘‘unexplored,” or-the still more terrifying inscription, “The Great Amorican Desert.” It was u part of that great fast and loose indetinite quality and quantity kuown as the *Louisi- ana purchase” and in the words of Washing- ton Irving *it was & dreary waste of rocky mountains and voleanic plains.” At the beginning of 1867 the major portion of the present Wyoming formed a sort of peninsula in the extreme southwest of that vast domain called Dakota territory. he eontire area of Wyoming covntained probably less than 500 peoplo exclusive of Ingiana. During 18¢7 the Union Pacific rail- way reached the eastorn border of this land and io the yoar followlng made its way en tirely across the territory o the meeting point with the Central Pacific in Utah, Containing at the time perhaps less than 5,000 people, excluding Indiana Wyoming be- came @ territory by an act of congress ap- proved July, 180S. The appointment of ter- ntorial oficers ocourred in 1860, and the political machinery was put in motion on tho 10th day of May following. The first territorial logslature met in September of the same year and among its most important acts, extended suffrage and equal rights to women. In 1570 the populution was 9,118, In 1550 it bad increased about 125 per ceut, and from 1580 to 1590 the increase was 800 per cent. The Increased percentage in prop- rety valuation being lasger than that of pop- luation. So much for what Wyowing was, July 10, 1800, Wyoming became a state. In September following sho elecied her first state ofticers. The ofticers qualified in Octo ber. Tne first legisiature convened in November and December 1, at the opening of the second session of the Fifty-first congress, two senators and & representalive in congress ook their seats. Now as to waat Wyoming is: A young, bright, Vigorous commonwealth, holding out _superior inducewments to capital and labor—for yousg meu and w¥en (he fleld 1s wide, and & fruitful country for ob- talolng & competency o amassiug & fortune, 1 awails those wio have enterprise, industry and integrity. ming is one of nature’ ricnest storehouses of undeveloped wealth, houeo sho will be best verhaps on account of her exteusivo mines and the varied and abundant output of iinoral products. The somewhat limited explorations which have beon mado discloso an area, already kuown, of coal more than twice as large as the coal area of Pannsyl- vania. The district in which potroleum is found oxtends diagonally across the state, u distanco of uearly 400 miles, with a broadth varyiug from 10 to 150 miles. Homitite iron ore; assaying 60 t0 70 _per cent, metallic ore and carryiog no titunium, is found in large and frequent deposits, Vast lakos of soda oxist in numerous localitios. Building stone is found almost everywhero. Gald and s| vor are found in psying quantities, also cop- per, load, tin, asbestos, mica, mognesium, sulpbur, graphite, kaolin, fire clay, elnss sand aud othor valuablo deposits. The field for capltalis almost ualimited, aad the pains- taking, ~faithful artisan or laborer never ' noed want. As proof of tms there is mot a poor housc in the state and no necessity for one, while 1nstances are many, in fact 1t .s almost the rule, that younz meén and women who have been a few years residents of the state and fairly econot:ical, have already & compe- tency. It is truc that there are occasional cases of distress and that the counties arp sometimes called upon to render temporary wid to certain persons or families who have become reduced through sickuess, nisfor- tune or dissipation, but such occurrences are veryrare. The state is ono of the most lcaitiful on the globo and many lives have been suvod or prolonged by leaving the more humid eastorn orsouthern” countries and re- pairing to the increased altitude ana rare mosphere of this section, where there is solutely moro sunshine and less cloudy day. and bours than In auy part of our counts It would nov be appropriate or discreet to veature an estimate in dollars and cents of tho many fortunes, small, medium and fairly large, that have been made and are sull pos sessed by tho men of Wyoming now living there who went to thainew country but a fow yours since. It is a state of proiperous men,” We have many young woen who, comn- ing 1o our territory poor, are uow well-to-do and who are worth all the way from ,0)) to $50,000 cach, Weo have a few muilicnaires, but wo liave quite a number of citizens who aro worth from §10),000 to half a million and who have mado this amount within a few years, 1donot mean to say that Wyoming is a piace for drones nor for £ mon who cauuot get a living elsewhere. Such men as are youug and heaithy but who feel that t cantiot got a living elsewhere had betterstay away from Wyoming. As for men and wo- meun, young and middle-aged, who have en- ergy and courage and who are willing to work and to accopt privation and the subordinate positions which must come at the start, the state offers u fair show. To all paople who have pluck and co-aheaditive ness, [ say Wyowing is one of tho best placa- in the world for you aud promotion and op portunity will come to you there long before you could get them in any of theolder states. To those with capitat for investment I say unreservedly, Wyoming is amagoificent field and merits your examination. The state has millions of acres of unoccupied public lands subject to entry under the United States land laws, and “the moro than 600 streams, large und small, furnishing water enough to irrigate, if necessary, one-fifth of the entire avea and render it possible for thousands of farmers to engage in agriculture and stock ising entirely feasible with assured profits. The rallway and mining popaiation, rapidly increasing, furnishes a lucraf home mar- ket for every produot raised.” The diversi- fied interests of Wyowming furnish an excel- lent _equilivrium aud the oxtremes in high and low markat prices of the different prod- ucts eause but litue disturbance there. Wyoming needs manufacturies to handie her raw material and wilh threo main trunk lines of railroad already withis ner borders and more projected, the fiald 1s & promising one. Stock raising has been the leading in dustry of the past.and it will continue a great factor. Some years since the cattle business WuS Prosperous in @ most remarkable degroe and fortunes wero made in & surprisingly short time, but these dizzy succasses led to reckless iuvestments, profiigate expendi- tures, incompetent and ox Lravagant WANAge- ment and all this added to the great dopress- ion of the past fow years in the market for oattle products, together with tho few hard wiaters and the over-stockiog of rauges in certain localities, bas led 10 lossos as exteu- sive aud quick, and iu many iostances as sur, I | prising as the suceesses which precedad tho Tailures. It was tho fashion and the rule for some years to concentrato to swallow the smaller berds in groat aggrogations, buy on **bodk without aztual dolivery, turaing loose on ihe country without boandary or limit, furnishing nothing whatever in the wa, of shelter or food in case of severo siorms, put- ting expensive and inoxperienced mou in chargo on_account of good fellowship ov pedigree, though the man might not kuow a cow from a horse, and of course all this led to disaster. ‘The succulent, nutritious grasses of Wyoming naturally curs whoro they grow, und furnish excolient and sufl cient food during the entire winter when ever aud wherever the live stock can roach the grass. But in a sories of winters, an occasiona! hard one finds the ground coverea with snow in some localities, and an occa- sionat drought leaves some parts of the range bare of food, and to provide for these con- tingencies, flock mastors, herdsmen and horso wrangiers should have their stock so aivided that attendance may reach the stock often enough and with sufficient fooa to keep them from starvation _until the uatural grazing is again availablo. The tenaency now in Wyoming 15 towards smaller ana more_numerous owner- =hips, and it is safe to predict that tho state will ' increase her numbers contin- ually of borses, cattle and sheop and the business will be profitabie under such management as that now being inaugurated.

He began and ended his remarkable ministry as lay preacher, ‘Tho late Mr. Spurgeon received into his church over 20,000 members, first and last, and founded over fifty chapels in different parts of Loudon, Jay Gould's $10,000 coutribution, says the Chicago T'imos, was about one tive-thousandth art of hisincoms, If a man with an income of §2,000 & year should make a contrivution of 40 couts to'the church he would ve making an equal sacrifice, but would not get any glory. “Totally blind and with his paraiyzed hands falling heiplossly in front of him, Kev.
