THE DODGE CITY TIMES.
BODGB CITY. SATURDAY. APBIL 3.
LARNED.
Prom the CbroooMope.
A young lady of I bin tillage aays that it it
not wicked to aew ou Sunday if you don't use
a thimble.
Mr. B. F. Etuis has tone east to examine
the machinery ef different sugar mills in the
interest of the Sugar Company.
T. G. Payne hu purchased yoke ot train
ed buSilo bull. We also notice that the hon
orable gentleman is wearing a plug hat.
Mr. Wadsworth, the "bigest" sheep man
in the State, shipped into Lamed last week
1 IIW head, mostly uotswoid e, Irom .Missouri
Mr. Wharton shot an immense bird of I
swan or goose rariety last Tuesday morning,
in the bottoms below town. It weighed nine
teen pounds and measured seven feet irom
tip to tip.
Mr. Rider tells us that his sheep never
were in such good condition as now, that they
are fat and would make nice mutton. lie has
only fed a peck of corn per day, since Janu
ary last, to each one hundred head. He has
1700 in his liitle flock, and has lost only
throe head this winter.
KINSLEY.
From the Leader.
Sow wheat and raise sheep if you desire to
become rich prosperous and happy.
Mr. I. V. Lewis has sold his flock of sheep,
realizing over a thousand dollars above what
they cost and expenses.
Fires are becoming quite common, hence
several insurance companies have withdrawn
Irom business in this part ot the country.
Business is looking up and we hope io a
few weeks that the grand boom that is aweep
ing over the eastern cities and towns will
striko Kinsley and send lis along on the road
to prosperity.
A man living in Ilodgeman county rrceiv
ed notice of his divorce by the mail Monday,
and went up to the county seat and got his
license ana cime dick and was married, all
me same day.
Col. Sellers is superintendent of Dr. Gil
man's large irrigation farm on the south side.
To say that the farm wi II blossom like the
rose under the mansgement of the Colonel is
expressing it in mild terms.
Our farmers should not be discouraged
over the prospects of over production of
wheat, but should put in all the spring wheat
possible Even spring wheat is a mtsch more
profitable and easier produced crop than corn.
During the past two weeks we have !
amincd a large number of wheat fields, and
while the wheat does not look very promis
ing, it is in good growing condition, and wiih
sufficient rain in April we will have a good
wneat narvet.
Quite a number of our citizens are leaving.
some going larther west while other are re
turning to their former places of abode The
places made vacant will soon be filled with
new comers, and parties with capital and
pluck. It requires a little pluck as well ss
considerable money to build up aov nw
country, and this country is no exception to
the general rule; but we feel safe in saying
mat tney mat slay tnrougb tnis season will
resp a golden reward.
WICHITA.
From the Eagle.
A stiff east wind set in Tuesday ; the clouds
'lied up at sundown ; tne thunders rolled and
ighlning played at night, and this (Wednes
day) morning the April shower began to
descend. We wish, we could tale every farm
er in Ice county by the hand and say "bully.
Oar readers will remember several men
tions and something of a description in this
paper of a channel-boat invented by our fel
low townsman A. J. Cook, and of the fact
ihtt it had been forwarded to the patent of
fice at Washington. Mr. Cook designed the
coat lor clearing tne channels ot sandy beded
streams like the great Arkansas, He receiv
ed word last week that the patent office had
determined that the machine would do the
work for which it is designed and an order
for a patent was therefore issued.
For the most part our people have been
taking kindly to the tree ordinance and
showing the r appreciation of it witdom by
cot only obeying its letter, but it spirit at
well. Although Wichita has for two years,
in the matter of ahade tree, been more amply
supplied than any city in the State, yet many
hundreds of select tree have been set out this
spring. The wonderful growth of trees in
this valley is too well understood to require
any mention. One thing that hu greatly
favored our success in this city hat been the
absrnce of stock running at large.
A Siiexp Corporatioh. We hav been
made acquainted with a new enterprise late
ly inaugurated in this city by a stock com-
pany which ha been duly incorporated,
whote operations will no doubt interest many
farmers of the county. It is a company for
the purchase of sheep, to be let out on shares.
It will be remembered that the Messrs. Hays
Bros, two year since brought into this valley
a flock of fine wool thoroughbred sheep,
which were taken on shares by Mr. I. Fouls,
who upon two or three occasions gave his ex
perience in handling them through these col
umns, the venture proved so prchtanleto
both the owners and sharer that it is now
proposed to go into the businesl on a large
scale. Mr. Hays claims, and for that mitttr
satisfactorily shows the immense profits ac
cruing iromsQca an invefimeoi. roil oiooas
are found to be entirely free from all disease
in this valley, and their increase in numbers
and yield of wool is simply wonderful. He
of the southwest, and all agree as to the
profitableness of such a handling. The shares
of the joint stock company will be placed at
one hundred dollars each, and Mr. Hays says
for a series of five years lorty per centum
per annum is a low figure for the profits. No
taker will be allowed more than a few hun
dred dollars worth, for which he must give
good security for the keeping and care, for
which he is to have half the increase and
half the yield.
There is a great excitement at present in
Lincoln county. New Mexico, over the re
cent discovery of very rich mines of what is
Known as wire gold, and miners are pouring
in from every direction. The ore is very
rich, samples Irom the White Oak mine-t as
saying as high as $20,000 per ton. These
mines are situated about twenty-five miles
northwest of Fort Stanton, about seventy
five miles west of the Rio Pecos on the big
divide between the Bio Pecos and Rio Grande.
One shaft has been tunk to a depth of 200
leet, yet tne ore tacen out is as r.ch at the
bottom as any found. Placer mining is good,
though only a few Mexicans are working at
it and with the crudest kind of implements,
they are making from three to fire dollars
per day. There is an abundance of water
and timber and parties with capital could
reap a rich harvest either in washing or
crushing.
It is now conjectured by astronomers thst
the comets are a kind of celestial tramps who
wander through space at their own sweet
will, calling with more or less regularity
while on their rounds to see the son and hu
attendant planetary system. One of these
cosmical vagrants is expected to call on us
this year io a perfect blaze of glory. In 1106
it rivalled the sun in brightness, and it ap
pears at every successive visit with added
brilliancy. In 1843 the Millerites made sure
that this comet was the appointed agent that
was to bring about the final conflagation of
the world.
