. . , Mischievous Malaria.
/ To say tlmt malaria is inisehicvcn *
is to put it vcrytmildly. . It is nil that
and more. , , It is cunning , deceitful ,
treacherous , sly , and underhanded.
It docs its worlc in the dark , and in
such a sly way that much of the mis
chief is done before it is discovered.
It saps the foundations of a healthy
system. It robs the blood of its vital
ity , demoralizes the liver , confounds
the stomach , and makes the victim
wish he were in his grave. It is sad
toscc pcoplcsitdown in their misery ,
content to be the victims of mischiev
ous malaria , and thinking that noth
ing can be done for them. The power
of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS over the
mischiefs of malaria has been so am
ply proved that there is no reason
why anybody who can procure a
bottle of this Prince of Tonics shall
suffer. Great is the power of malaria ,
.and great are its disastrous effects.
But greater far is the beneficent in-
fluencc of BROWN'S IRON BITTERS.
The preparation of iron in this favor
ite family remedy "can be taken
without ruining the teeth or produo
ing constipation and headache , j

HALT LAKK , January 17 , A ride over
a portion of the Union Pacific rovcnls to
the "old limor" oomothing of the pro-
groaa which has boon made in Wyoming
the past few years. In 1807 the country
treat of Grand Island , Nobnvskn , wan beyond -
yond the "farming Inndn , " and the traveler -
elor struck out into the "Groat American
dcsort" before reaching North Hatto.
Cheyenne was located on the plains tlmt
year , and has grown to a beautiful city ,
where there are more wealthy inon than
any place wo know for its aizo. It in the
cattle interest , in connaction with rail
ways , that has made Cheyenne such a
ploaaant place , anil the satno may bo said
of Laramio.
This reminds us of some incidents of
the past. In 1809 Dr. Latham published
a series of articles on stock raising on the
Laramie plains. Ho was the first to urge
that locality for that industry , and pushed
kis ideas so vigorously in print as to
cause much comment , and ho was classed
as enthusiastically wild on that tichomo.
Ho demonstrated the practicability of his
ideas , and succeeded in inaugurating the
business of stock raising on the plains ,
but through side speculations , as has
boon the ciiso of many , ho failed finan
cially ; but his early oilbrts did more to
cover the pastures of Wyoming with
stock than these of any other man , and
ho deserved a bettor fortune than was Ida.
Laramie where ho made his homo , has
changed in a few years frem a small fron
tier town to great blocks of brick and
wooden structures , with stores carrying
immense stocks of goods ; rolling mills
which manufacture twenty tons of bolts ,
nuts , spikes and other railway iron per
day ; great ahopi for repairs
and building of locomotivca and
can , while all classed of busi
ness is transacted in the town , and a late
enterprise is that of soda manufacture on
a largo scale.
llawlins , once considered the most
desolate place on the road , is now ono
with many attractions , big shops , pros
perous merchants , stock men , otc.
Winter is not a good season to note
improvements along the line of road
through Wyoming , and yet wo cannot
help out obaorvo some of them. The
alkali deserts of the past have become
cleared of the excess of caustic soda in
the soil , through increased moisture and
riin-falland the land lias boon so clothed
with grasses as to make a good grazing
country. This ono feature about the entire -
tire country lying west of . the Missouri
river is making the great plains the best
stock and farming lands in the country ,
and the tame beneficial climatic influences
have leaped over the great ranges and
are fast producing a change which will in
time bring uudor subjection to cultiva
tion millions .of acroi now considered
worthless. Then there are the changes
along the Uniou Pacific , which can bo
seen at all times. I moan the now build
ings , shops and other improvements ,
springing up all along the road.
The bleak desert of the paat is chang
ing into interesting towns , line resi
dences , shaded walks , where roaido a re
fined citizenship.
It has boon the railway , cattle inter
ests , mining and some other induatrios
which conspired to make these changes ,
and these same interests are all in the
time growing in importance , and hence
the country is destined to grow in popu
lation , is the most
Wyoming to-day mi-
portaut coal mining country woat of
Pennsylvania , and it ranks almost at the
top in cattle raising and grazing.
The Union Pacific operates twelve coal
mines in Wyoming and ono in Utah ,
which in the aggregate send out an nvor-
ego of 4,100 tons of coal per day. At
Carbon throe mines are operated , turn
ing out 1,300 tons daily ; Hock Springs ,
five mines , 1,500 tons ; Almy , two , 800
tons ; Twin Crook , two , ! )00 ) tons ; and
Grass Crook , Utah , ono mine , 200 tons.
These mines give employment to about
i2'JOO men. All these mines except those
at Twin Crook supply the market with
coal as well as supplying the road. The
Union Pacific also docs much in the coal
business in Colorado , operating two minoe
at Erie , two nt Oamo , ono at Baldwin and
ono at Louisville ; the total daily outnul
being about l.UOO tone. This great in
dustry ia ull the time becoming greater
the demand increasing with every now
aottlor , increase of business OH tno roads
nudoxtonsion of country supplied througl
opening up now lines of communication
Portions of both Idaho and Montana no\\ \
draw supplies of fuel from Wypming.
While traveling over the road wo can'
not help but remember the past am'
note with interest the changes wrough
with aomo of the terminal towns whicl
spring up like mushrooms and have gem
down almost as auddonly , Vrvan wai
ono of the liveliest of them all. Nov
nothing remains but the depot and throi
or four empty shells , where years ago al
was lifo and bustle. The graves of th
mon who died with their boots on ii
Bryan in its palmy days , have about dia
appeared as perfectly as did the towi
utter the shops wcro removed to Greoi
river ,
Granger was once noted as a statioi
on the Overland aUgo line , and long bo
fora the Union Pacilio drove that class o
transportation away , the etockado alii
standing was the scone of lively skirmishes
os with the Indiana. The place now ha
aomo prospects of future greatness sine
the Oregon short line has made this it
junction , A largo depot , transfer plat
forms and other railway buildings hav
beau provided.
The Uniou Pacific deal largely in al
cla se3vof gooda used by railway 00111

( juartora being in Omaha. For con

Piedmont TM once full of lifo , and
money waa plenty there , the cutting of
vood and lumber , and burning of charcoal -
coal giving employment to a largo number
of'mon and teems. The charcoal kilns are
now idle , and the town docs not present
much appearance of life , but its location
with great bodies of timber back of it ,
may again bring prosperity to the placo.
llilliard ia another similar example of
decline in the charcoal business. .Seven
years ago the demand kept twonly.four
kilns busy , and the llilliard Flume com
pany flourished and made gnbd timer for
the cntiro tow , then numbering over 000
persona. The company still has a good
llumo about thirty miles long , tapping a
timber district on the headwaters of Bear
river , just across the line in Utah. Wood
can bo floated that thirty miles at a coat
of thirty or forty cents a cord , and logs
and lumber in proportion. The company
have good nawmilla at llilliard , and
several thousand cords of wood and hun
dreds of logs iu their yarda. The town is
noted for vacant houses and lack of busi
ness activity ; but prosperity is likely to
smile again on the place nnd reward the
ownora of the property now lying idle.
Evanaton ia a pretty place in summer ,
or ut any time when the snow Is not piled
up in drifts ns a present. Merchants ,
mechanics and othcis appear to bo doing
well , while the class of citizens and va
rious aocial and other advantages are
such aa to make this place pleasant to
reside in.
At all locomotive stations masslvo en
gines with huge snow plows attached are
ready to engage in a combat with snow
drifts along the lino. In early days the
read had many detentions on account of
snow and your correspondent was among
tlio unfortunates who were detained by
blockades on many occasions. Had the
road been prepared na well in 1870-1-2 to
fight snow olockadcs as itis _ non- , there
would not have been much'detention of
trains , and million ) ) would have been
waved to the company. In the line of
railway improvements the progress made
in machinery and appliances for raising
blockades of all kinds have fully kept
pace with other improvements , and the
day haa passed when thcro will over bo
any prolonged blockade by snow or
floods on any first-class railways. Not
only have all the chances , privations and
aufforiuga of snow blockades boon re
moved on this great continental routobut
traveling nt any season of the year over
the line has become both a comfort and a
luxury. With the thermometer nt its
lowest the can 'aro ' BO well warmed and
ventilated as to make them as pleasant to
passengers as if Bitting around their own
fires in their parlors. The road is ao
smooth that ono finds no trouble in read
ing or writing while moving through the
country at a rapid rate.
The writer of this haa noted the
climatic and oth'er changes on the plains
and through thia great mountain region
along the line of the Union Pacific ,
throughout Utah nnd Idaho , the past
fifteen years , and ho is of the opinion
that in the not distant future vary much
of the country will become productive
and furnish homes for a largo population.
Crops of grass , grain and vegetables are
now raised iu localities where _ nll was
barren ton yearn ago , and there is largo
tracts of grazing lands where alkali , dust
and greaswood predominated in the past ,

Recollections of the Ttmo When Ho

Fortune.
Louisville Courier Journal.
Among the number of men who have
leaped from comparative poverty and ob-
acurity in thia country in the paat half
century , none stand out more prominent
ly than John W. Mockoy , the California
millionaire , at prcaont living in Paris.
Hia name is known all over tno continent
and the vast project of laying another
cable across the Atlantic- , bringing the
continent into instantaneous connection
' with ours , with which ho b ao greatly
identified , brings him before the people
again. To these familiar with his career
in the paat few years , , and knowing hia
immense -wealth and splendid surround
ings , it soonia almo.it miraculous that ,
within the memory of comparatively
young men , ho was poor and obscure ,
without a dollar iu the world. Although
much haa boon written and said about
him , aa a matter of cpurao , but
few persons are acquainted with
Ilia early lifo , and the fact
that ho was at ono time a resident of
thia city has never been made public. As
a reporter waa poaaing down Main street ,
yesterday , a gentleman standing at the
corner of Twelfth remarked : "You see
that building over there ? " pointing to the
house on the northwest corner of Twelfth
and Main. Upon the reporter's replying
in the affirmative , ho continued : " 1
, aupposo it would surprise a number ol
persona to know thai Mockoy once lived
thcro and kept a saloon. The atory ie
not generally known , as he was not a mau
of wide acquaintance , nnd when ho loft
the city all thought of him died out. 01
these who uaod to take drinks from hie
' hands acroas the counter , but few rocog-
' uizo him in his now sphere.
"Along about 18-15 Maokoy came tc
this city in company with ono or twc
others in search of employment. Ei
waa a man , strong , active and willing tc
work at almost anything which wouli
afford him a good living , A a old two
atory frame building stood at the cornoi
over there , and the front roon
had boon used aa a saloon
The proprietor closed up i
few months before , however , and the
building vraa left without a tenant t.
Mackoy had nome little money , and a t.s ;
the location was a good ono ho resolvei
to start a bar-room thoro. Ho made i
bargain with the proprietor and aocuroi
the place , opening up about n week later
The room and ita tmurca would bo it
strong contrast with the fine saloons o
the proaontday.with their gilded counter
mid fancy ban. The walls were covered will
n simple coat of white paint , and tin
counter vraa a long , narrow ono ma Jo ou
of pine boards. Behind it waa a ahelf HI
which iiat some bottles and glosses , Hi
coming waa not taken much notice of f
and iioni ) felt enough interest to inquir
from whence ho came or who ho waa
Ho waa an energetic nnd induatriou

and hia short figure and smiling fac

Ho aoon built up a very good tradebu
lie never appeared satisfied. It we
evident that ho was not intended f or sue
bo an avocation iu lifo , iia ho as rcatloai
no and , like Mioawbor , constantly waitin
rk tor Bomothirtf to turn up.
ro "Tho long-lookod-for d y finally a

vu that such good { oTtuno ua fo
to his lot TTM awaiting him. In 184 ! ) the
gold fever was nt its height , and every
day 6migrnnU wore'leaving for the Pa
cific coast. oJKcr to reap the harvest of
gold which tnty confidently expected
was waiting for Jhcm , Mackoy was ono
of the first poraRui in thia city to bo
afilicted with the fcner , and ho endeavor
ed to induce n nunitor of friends to go
with him , A party ct about twenty-five
wan finally made up , nnd ho wrw ono of
the lenders in it. Ho told hia paoporty
interests fora amall sum , and that WM the
la.it hoard of him until Ibo jumped sud
denly into tlio lap of fortune.
" 1 was , ' ' said the gentleman , "in Gali-
at the time of his arrival there , end
watched hia career with considerable in
terest , lie had previously known Flood
nnd O'Brien , and they were very fast
friends. They wcro nt that time keeping
a saloon in San Francisco , and Mackoy
worked in the minus. The two famous
fields of wealth then wore the California
and the Consolidated Virginia , and ho
worked in both of thorn. ITs wan a
a very shrewd man , tolerably well edu
cated * and had some little knowlsdco of
civil engineering. Ho clearly saw that
money invested in the stock of either of
these mines waa sure to bring good re
sults , nnd every dollar ho could raiscrwaa
invested iu that way. At this instance
Flood and O'Brien went in with himand
the three purchased stock at $ , ' ! n share.
Soon after it wont up to$7 and gradu
ally increased to $18 ; In this simple
manner their fortunes wcro made , and' '
almost before they know it they wore
wealthy men. Mackey then lived in rr
frame house on Suttor street nnd his fig !
uro became a familiar ono to the f rcqucu-
cra of the mines.
"Ho was * not married then , but mot
the women who became hia wife soon
afterward. This in itself is n little
romancennd illustrates his character.
She waa n widow whonhobccamoacquaint-
od with her , nnd was the daughter of
Maj. Hungleford , of Now Orleans. She
married a doctor and moved to Nevada
City , where hov husband died aomo'tlmo '
afterward : Ha was a poor man.and loft
his wife and child in rather destitute
circuruatanocaMackoy hoard of thia
some months later , nnd started'a sub
scription fop-tho widow's boncht , con
tributing ; liberally himself , and raising a
neat little sum. Thia so touched the
widow's heart that she called on him to
thank him for his kindness. She was
young and pretty , with a childish face
and winning ways , and captured
Mackoy'a heart-completely. Hiacourtahip
was n quiet ono , and of short duration ,
and eoon the pretty widow united her
destiny with his : Mackoy was then n
rich man , but bo hept widening his field
of action until in connection with Flood ,
O'Brien and'Fdir ho established the Ne
vada .bank , and Louis McOlaiu wont
from Baltimore to manage it. Since tht
time Mackoy's career has boon familar
to almost every school boy. Unlike the
majority of. mon , however , bo does not
forgot that he waa once , dependent hini-
self , and his charity has boon great. He
is n member of'the Catholic church , and
established an orphan asylum fpr the
children of'that1 danomination iu Ne
vada City , which ho ntill supports. Ho
ia always ready to giro for charity's sake ,
and in addition is polite and courteous to
everybody. "
