A Yondensed Ohunks of Go-Aheadatives THE PULSEOF WESTERY PROCRESS | @leaued from Varivas Points. ACTIVE FACTORS IN WYOMING'S PROGRESS | ¥he Terror of Death Valley and the Won- ders of Wyoming—A Noted Ploneer of Northwest News, B0 vast ana varied are the resources of Wyoming that the rustier war is but an in- ideAt in the march of aevelopment. Pluck, push and perseverauce, qualities possessed by the people to & remarkable degree, are the mighty factors now carving the pathway of progress and prosperity. Cheyenne sets a pretty lively pace by securing a smelting ana refining works, for which a bonus of $200,000- was paid. Tne benefits aceruing to the min- sral intorests of the state from the establish- ment of the works are incalculable. It means » vast cheapening of the cost of ‘trausporta- tion by reducing buik, & convenieni market for ores, and the profitable working of low grade ore which will not bear the cost of transportation o present smelters. It is ex paea the works will be ready for busiuess v fall. ‘That its operating will stunulate mininyg iadustry is conceded. Charles Frederick, the discoverer of the nickel and cobalt fields near Hartvilio, *re ports the find & valuable one. The bed of ore covers about 400 acres and is very rich in the metals mentioned, and in addition is thought to contain piatinum in puying quan- tivies. The cobalt blossom overlay- iog the hard mineral is about three feet thick and is exceedingly rich. One peculiarity about this plossom is that when taken out and placed in & room it gots vory hot and retains its beat for six or eight hours, when it cools off and fails o pleces liko siacking lime. 1t swells very strongly of sulphur. About thirty feet of fron ore was goue through vefors the cobalt wus struck, The ore has beon penetrated about four fect and workmen are now cross cutiing to ascertain something of the extent of the strike, but in auy event the find is the biggest thing for Wyoming that has yat veen made, Me. Frederick says that development work s about all that 18 now being done on the fron claims, but be bas great hopes for the future and thinks that at no distunt Jay tne Hartviile district will be famous the world over for the quuntity and richness of its minerals. At Silver Crown development work goes steadily on and great things are expected of that district, Much of the ore taken from there will be worked by the Cnevenue smelter, and, in fact, the builuing of the iy’ here will lend acded activity to development work in that district. The Horse creek iron mines are being by the irou compauy for all there is , and are ShOWInNg up some good ore. A spirited struggle is on for control of the oil fields. The Cheyenne Sun asserts that Denver is decidedly in the lead of Omaba. First of the “Big Four.” ‘Ihie death of Colonel Charles A. Broad- water at Helena removes one of the most prominent figures in the progressive life of Montuna. He was one of the notod big four iu the democratic party of the state, his colieagues veing ex-Governor Hauser of Helena and Marcus Daly and A, W. Clark of Helena. Although ho did not seck or hold office, he was nevertheless a power in the councils of the party, and displayed in poli- tios the sagacity and aggressive enterprise that distinguished him in business affairs, Charles A, Broadwater was born in_the town of St. Charles, St. Charles county, Mo., Beptember 25, 1840, making him at the time of his death 52 years of age. He grew to young manhood near his native city, He Went to Colorado in 1860, and when gold was discovered at Bannock ke came to Montana, Ho joined one of the first expeditions and Boon arrived at the new Eldorado in the fall of 1862 After a brief season in tho mines he entered the freighting business, in which he continued until the railroad came. He was also a contractor. In &l nis business ventures he was remarkably successful and amassed a fortune. He pos- sessod a genius that was_phenomenal, and it was ail dir cted toward benefiting tbe stato of Montaga, He was one of the promoters of the Great Northern railway and with Hon. Paris Gibson was one of President Hil's chief supporters in that great under- taking. Ho was president of the Montana Central railway from the time of its organi- gation untl his death, =nd he established the Montana National bauk in Helena, cae of the leading financial institutious of the state. But the insatution in which Colonel Broadwater took greatest pride, and which will always remuin an enduring_monument | the neurest scrub and devoured { cask, and was shaped somowhat 0 his meinory, was the Hotel Broaawater snd natatorium. ‘The establishment of these great institutions required a large outlay of capital ana indomitable pluck. He was: 1argely interested in mines, and he owned . many of the best properties in the Ten-Mile district and at Nelbart. ‘The colo adventurers while he was en- -goged in his experiences of early days were often exciting and sometimes dangerous. He became perfectly familiar with the roughest side of ploneer life, Throughout it all he was uniformly & man of cheerful tem- rament.

Colonel Jotn Doyle’s won- derfal vinegar mine in Beaverhead county passes the domain of doubt into tho sunlight of truth. 1tis backed by crisp afdavits, and affidavits cost $1 each in Montana. The colonel and his partners did not confine thomselves to vinegar, They discovered a mountain of pure alum in the Beaverhead range. The discovery was considered a ten- strike ana_bettor than a gold mine. They kept the find a socret, for several weeks, dur- iog which a shaft was sunk to the depth of 200 feer. The cut was maae all the way through a solid vein of alum, and it was esti- mated that the whole mountain was com- posed of it A large pile of the stuff was nheaped near the mine, ready tor shipmeut, and the miners had o schems to tiood the market with their product and rake in $1,000,000 at ono foll swoop. Last Monday the colonel's partner went to town to lay in a supply of grub and the former remained behind ‘to guard their treasurc. During the morning a heavy rain began to fall and continued all day and 1 tho after- noon the colonel had oceasion togo down into tho mine. making the aescent by slidinz down the rope and when once down at tho bottom was 50 taken up with a contempla- tion of his novel and wonderful mne that he did not ieed the flecting hours until he hap- pened tocast his eves upwurd ana saw that daylight had faded from the mouth of the shaft.

Every foot he advancea the shaft became smaller, and for the last ten feet ho was compelled to dig his way up with a pocket knife, and when he finaily reacted the surface ho was completoly exhausted, his clothes were torn and his body badiy braised. Tho rain was still falling, which soon revived the colonel, and no started towards the camp to meet his partner, to whom he related his remarkable experience. Together they ro- turned to their mine, or at least tried to, for although they searctied for two days they woro unabla to find sny sign of thelr late possessions. The rain hud undoubtedly thor- oughly and tightly closed up the discovery shaft and molted away every siga of the alum piled on the outside, 8o that to this time it has been impossible to find any trace of the mine. Rapld Transit. ‘While rival railroads are straining every Dpoint to demolish space and distance previous records of sveed, an inventive genius in Ta- coma promises 10 throw dust in the eyes of all competitors. According to reports of scientitic men, M. L. F. Cook has solved the problem of rapid transit, with cable or elec- tricity as the motive power. It is a modified form of bicycle road. The double tracks only occupy one foot in space, and are car- ried on a single line of piers twelve inches square, and of proper height, so that the bottom of the car, which is carried from the 1op, is twelve .or fourteen feet from the ground. The car being carried from an upper corner hasa side gravitation at the bottom where the drive wheels, placed bori- zontally in the bottom of the car, and driven by au electric motor on the car, bear against the rails; and electricians’ claim that by this combination two miles 8 minute may be attained. The cars travel in opposite directions on opposite sides of the piers and, owing to the manner they are attached to the upper track, cannot be derailed. The cars are only three feet wide, are constructed of aluminum and will not weigh more than the passengers. Passengers will get in and out at the side of the car. Mr. Cook has been allowed patents on his systems, and claims to be able to make any curve, grade or speed that may be required. A Remarkable Snowslide. . The Sultan City (Ore.) Journal youches for the following: *‘A novel sight was pre- sented the other'day on Silver Top in the shape of an immense snowslide, Hearing a noise, we rushed ot of the tunnel Yo see it, when, behold, in the center of a mass of snow ten rods wide by a quarter of a mile long we saw, on what appeared to be a largo picce ef ice, five bears and fourteen goats. Lost in wonder and gratitude at the sight of 50 much meat coming to us, we simoly stood and gazed at tne novel sight until ona of the boys suggested that a gun might be a good thing to have, and started for the camp after one, but before he could get beck the snde had plunged over the bluff into the lake, and everything except one bear was covered up in Lte mass of snow and jco, and ho made off as fast as possible, and the rest were covered 80 deep we could niot got at them: however, we expect Lo get them some time during the summer, as they will undoubtedly be well preserved.” Three of & Kind, Dakota's divorce milis develop some astomishing matrimonial entanglements.

Now comes a man who says the water is aesper than ever and that fishermen on the classic banks have, during the past weel, been catching numer- ous fifteen-pound fish of the buffalo variety. The mystery, therefors, is twofold: ~where did the lake come from, and if it did come, how did these fiftcea-pound fish get there! This tale was told us by a gentleman whose word should not be disputed, and we ara moved to_ask for outside assistance to solve how those fish got there. Wyoming.

The largest increase in salaries has been 1n the treasurer’s office. The vlerk hire is more than double, In April, 1801, there were six olerks, including the treasurer Limself, draw- ing @ salary of $646,67. In April, 1802, there were twelve in the ury department re- ceiving salaries agyregating 81,500, an in- crease of $853.33 for the month over the cor- responding time last year. The comparison of the monthsis not a fair one, as City Treasurer Rusb in 1891 received 2 per cent interest on eity funds himself, and pald individually for the clerk hire for that work. Now the city itself receives the interest on the funds instead of the individual treasurer, and the city accord- ingly pays for the increased help. While the comptroller’s records show that there were twelve clerks in April, 1892, there were vir- tually only eleven, as one of that number worked only a portion of the mounth and an- other was put on in his place. The salary of the two 18 simply the wages of one. As to the city receiving the interest in- stead of the treasurer. the city, although ying more salaries for increased help, is ad for April, 1502, just §770. Un- der the old law Mr. Rush for Aprl, 1891, roceived as fees on delinguent taxes $032.16, and on 2 percent bank deposits he received a monthly average of $1,000. The is, therefore, deducting the $353. n salary expenso of April, 1803, over the same month last year from the interest and fees which amounted to §1,652, just §779 better off.
