Num. ®erous efforts have been made in the past to shake off the commercial shackles. All re sulted not only in failure but disaster to such of tho participants as were engaged in trade beyoud the city. Of late, howover, merchants and capitalists have been drawn togother by the organization of a freight bureau. Independence and unity are gradu- ally displacing fear. Vigorous efforts are now being made to socure a competing lino, 83,000,000 having been subscribed for that purpose, The project will meet with tremendous opposition, as the present company occu- pics almost every inlet to the city, A ¢ ] | i 1 | g possesses unlimited means and practicaily law- controls both tne law making and enforcing powers, The projectors sufticient means to make a fight, woaithy persons are interested aud have de- clared that the mattor will not be allowed to languish. Thelr names sre suficient evi- denco that the enterprise is genuine, The ; lowost subscription was for 0,000, It is not the intention to sell any stock whatever. About $15,000,000 in bonds will bo raised and thers never has been any fear that there will be any trouble in placing these bonds, 3 because the assurance has already been given that tho total amount will bo taien in the city. One reason for putting up somuch cash is 1o be cortain of placing the bouds at k v An ongineer bas been engaged, and is even now in tho field preparing dsta for a 4 preliminary report. So much has been said socut tho Donahoe rond some day pussing 110 the hands of an eastern road, that in- vy is mado s to whether or not the pro Fosc Jine 1o Salt Lake will not absorb the Dcuahoe system. It is said thut for weeks an cxawination of the books of the Donahoo system hias been in progross in the interest of the persons concersed in the Salt Lako proposition. Hints have been dropped that tho road will come into San Fravcisco by a ferry, which lends color to the belief that Tiburon will be tho werminal, It is said several eastern ronas have positively asserted that, whea iv1s onc established beyond a doubt that the prc poscd road across the Sierras wiil actually be built, they will immediately begin to extond thoir roads to Szit Lake and will be there in time (o meet the San Francisco road. It is not deuied that the men who are putting their money into this venture have agreed not to seil or to enter into any traflic agree- ment with any competing lino for a period of » &t loast ton years from tho time the road is completed. "1t is claimed a road can be built throuih the Beckworth vass atalow cost, and such a road would traverse a country which from the start would yield an excoi- lent local trafiic, Sherldan's Advantages. [Contributed.] The northern part of Big Horn mountains and adjacent country in Wyoming has re- celved the name of Sheridan county. This tract of iand, situated in the ceuter of a vast area of non-agricultural, but good grazng country, haswell earned the title of being the garden of Wyoming. Fifty miles m length by thirty i breadth, this country is traversed by numerous large sized mountain streams, flowing through wide fertile vailoys, while thousat.ds of acres of Tich soil, on upper bencnes, await the di version of water from some stream, to fur- nish the farmer with u home where fie is as- sured & most abundant and never failing crop. In marked distinction to a vast purt of the agricultural land in the country, the farmer in this region has the advaniago of a first cluss and very cheap fuel. Coal of ex- cellent quality for domestic purposes is found in ull the bluffs, and at numerous mines this can bo had at $1 per ton, or for mothing, should the farmer choose to mine the coul himself. I'o one who has traveled much elsewhere fn tho west this section of country comes like a revelation—nature hus done ber ut- most hero for the granger und soon thou- sands of prosperous farms will ba cultivated {n this favored region. An unusually intelli- gont aud well-to-do class of people came to i this country ten vears ago, and, though miles from any railroad, tho country on ac- count of natural resources alone developed {nto themost fruitful region of Wyoming, Lile its capabilities have as yet been hardly teucned. veral towns were started on the out- skirts of this farming region, but finally by natural selection the counly seat was estab lished in the center of the agricultural dis. trict and today commands, as it always will, the busines of tho county. Already 8 large number of brick builaings have been erected in Sheridan, the county scat, many churches, school houses, flouring mills, Jumber yards, & brewery, Lwo newspapers, an experiental station and numerous other enterprises nave been established, and the town can hardly be sald to nave developed commensurato witn the farming rexion Sheridan, situated at the juuction of two large mountain sireams of pure water, with good roads in every direction, leading to fertile valleys and in the center of tho largest continuous boay of irrigable land, commands by its position so thoroughtly the businoss of this rich country that railroads entering this region would seek to place their lino whers Sheridan now stands s being the key to the trade of tho country even though mno town bhad as yet beoo started at this point. The folly” of building railroads on the outskirts of the richest lands in any community is seldom committed at this late day, Competition quickly comes in any good couutry, and the yoad 108t conveniently established or placed for business seoures the trade. The Burling- ton route has now approached within fifty miles of the town, and & large force of grad- ors aro at work on the main line passing through Sheridau. Soon other railroads, skirting tho eastern slope of the Big Horn Mountains s they do the eastorn slope of the Rocky mountains in Colorade, will also reach the town, and Sheridan, rapidly increasing fn wealth and populution atthe present tinmic, bids fair to soon become & city of frow b,000 0 10,000 peopla, Mining in the adjacent Big Horn moun- tains has lately recelved consideralle atten- tion aud is adding greatly to the business of Bueridan, ® As a growiog, prosperous country, with o brillinnt future beforo it, Sheridan offers un- surpasscd opportunities for business meu, while the surrounding country offers to the ranger advautages seldom” found in ono cality.

As & stock raising country, bee! from this section commands the highest price in the Chicago market, and during the past winte pousidered severe for this country, the writer bas been able to secure prime beof from the Fauge at any time. Seeiug is believing. Tho people of Sheridan cordially invite the most skoptical to examine her resources, feeling assvred that the unanimous verdict would be thit it was no wonder the Indian, as well Bs tho white man, had selected this fortile fountry as being the most fruitful to be Tound for his needs. r The Northwestern Extensi: ) Reports from Casper indicate au early move of the Northwestern road westward to Lauoder.

About a month ago A. N. Spratt left Helena for London. Later he was joined there by J. B. Clayberg, who has been the attorney for the Spratt brothers during the negotiations. The price agreed upon for the ground is 2,000,000, one-half of which is to be in cash and the restin fully paid up shares, The company is stocked for £430,400, in shares of £1 each. The vroperty which originally ligured in the negotiations comprised about 1,000 but tbis is ubout one-balt of what the consummated deal includes. Eldo rado bar, coutaining 1,553 acres of patented tand, tho most thoroughly pros pected of all tho wem lands, was the nucleus and to 1t has been added gem-bear- ing eround, making a total of 5,000 acres on both sides of the Missouri river, and extend- ing a distance of nearly fificen miles. In addition the compuny has acquired by lease or purchasc all the water rights in the dis- trict. Tue plans of the company are weil matured, and active operatious will com- mence at once. The story of the development of the ruby mine in Montana is not a new one. When it was first printed it caused a good deal of flutter among the jewelers of the east. The character of the stones found was announcea ia 1888, put no prospecting was done until the summer of 1890. ''ne first find, however, was twenty years age, and this was by the vlacer miners. A few of the stones were shown as curiosities, but the bulk was thrown away with the tailings as worthless. Gold was the sought-for treasure in thogo days, and so high was the fever on that procious metal that had theold placer mivers accidentally turned up a diamond they would not havo stopped Lo consider its valuo over that of the “yellow boy," which they had gone miles to discover. The attention of experts in London, New York, and Chicago was directed to some of the stones from these mines and they wore pronounced identical with tho Oriental sap- phire, emerald, ruby and topaz. Their color was not so deep as the latter, but in point of brilliancy they were deciared to be up to the standard. I'ie most numerously discovered stoue thus faris the sapphir in color from a light to a corn flower bluo. The next in quantity is tho emerald.
