growing more numerous as spring

for crops property will advance in price.

about the condition of business, and the
decline of real estate prices, but on the
whole we aro in better condition than
almost any other Nebraska town. With
thousands of acres of irrigated lands
tributary to North Platte coming under
cultivation we are justified in feeling
hopeful over the outlook.

W. C. Ritner, who conducts a marble
yard at Cheyenne in connection with tho
ono in this city, returned to town a few
days ago. Since engaging in business
in Wyoming ho has become a fourth
owner of a onyx quarry which promises
to make him a wealthy man. This
quarry is located 120 miles west of Chey
enne, and though they have delved but
twenty feet into mother earth they have
uncovered fully fifty cars of onyx. There
are eight varieties of stone in the quarry,
ranging from pure white down to ebony
The company has been offered eight
dollars per cubic foot for the product as
it now exists, but Mr. Ritner says that
in view of the high price of onyx such an
offer could not bo a moment entertained.
Ho thinks the quarry is a better thing
than the average gold mine.
J. J. O'Rourke and W. D. Lyle, of
Cottonwood, were in town Wednesday
partially in tho interests of the irrigation
ditch in which they are stockholders.
The company has tho ditch well under
way and all bills contracted have been
paid, but unfortunatly the corporation
is nearly out of funds and it looks' as
though a cessation of work until next
fall will bo necessary. This course is
made all the more necessary on account
of the farmere,who have been doing the
work, being compelled to get their land
in readiness for this season's crop. Tho
stockholders of the ditch have two or
three plans under consideration for rais
ing money to complete the work, and
there is no doubt but tho canal will be
in shape to water all the land under it
in the spring of 189G. One North Platte
gentleman has offered to put up money
to purchas the lumber for the headgate
and bridges, and two- or three others
have tendered the company loans of 3500
each, and these offers are now being
considered. Everybody in North Platte
is anxious to see this ditch completed
and are willing to do all they can to help
the enterprise along.
