Senator Francis E. Warren , the author of
the following article on the possibilities and j
resources of the new stuto of Wyoming , Is
one of the most successful men in that terri
tory. Ho Is a Massachusetts man by birth
who shortly after the lute war , in which ho
served as a union soldier , was over , moved
out to Wyoming territory and who has boon
ouo of tha loading men of that country for
the past twenty-five years. Ha was ao-
polntcd governor of Wyoming by President
Arthur and ha served as Its governor under
President Harrison until the territory was
admitted us a state when ho took his place as
its representative iu the United States sen
ate.
WASIIIXOTOV , March 18. [ bnoclal Corro
spondcMico of THIS Bui' . ] To your Inquiry ,
What about Wyoming ? 1 reply very little , or
very much , according to the standpoint from
which jou viexv It. When mlddle-agod znon
of today uoro studying geography In tholr
I youth tiieio was no btato of Wyoming , and
i f thoio boomed no eligible place In which to lo
cate It , for the maps exhibited In that longi
tude mm latitude where Wyoming now Is ,
either u blank space uiaiked "unexplored , "
or * the still moro terrifying Inscription ,
'The Great American Dosort. " It was u
part of that great fast and loose indotlnlto
qualltv nud quantity known as the "Louisi
ana puichasa" and In tbo words of Washing
ton Irvlni ; "it was a dreary was to of rocky
mountains anil volcanic plains , "
At the beginning of IbOT the major portion
of the prosout Wyoming formed n sort of
ponlnsulii In tbo extreme southwest of
that \ast domain called Dakota territory.
Tui > ontiio area of Wyoming contained
probably loss than 500 people exclusive ol
Indiana. During 18CT the Union Pacltlo rail
way roachcd the eastern border of this laud
and In the year following nude Its way en
tirely across the territory to the meeting
point with the Central Puclllo in Utah.
Containing at tbo tlmo perhaps loss than
G.OOO people , excluding Indiana Wyoming be
came n territory by an not of congress ap
proved July , 1803. The appointment of ter
ritorial ofncers occurred in 1809 , and the
political machinery was put In motion oa
the 10th 'day of May following. The first
territorial legislature mot In September of
the same year and among its most important
acts , extended suffrage and equal rights to
women. In 1870 tbo population was 9,118.
In 1SSO it had Increased about 125 per cent ,
and from 18SO to 1890 the Increase was BOO
per cent , The Increased percentage In prop-
rety valuation holng larger than that of pop-
luntlon.
So much for what Wyoming was.
July 10,1890 , Wyoming became a stato. In
September following the elected her first
state oftlcon. The oulcdri quillllod In Octo-
bsr , Ine first legislature convened in
November and December 1 , at the opening
of the second session of the Flffy-firnt
congress , two senators and a representative
In congress took their seats.
Now as to waat Wyoming is ;
A young , bright , vigorous commonwealth ,
holding out superior inducements to capital
and labor for young men and wSaun the
Held is wldo , and a fruitful country for ob
taining a competency or amassing a forUiuo ,
awaits those who have enterprise , industrv
and integrity. Wyoming is 010 of naturo'"s
Holiest storehouses of undeveloped wealth ,
and a bcoioof yoais houco she will bob'st
known perhaps on account of her ext ° usivo
mines and the varied and abundant output
of mineral products. The somawhat limited
explorations which have boon made disclose
an urea , already kuoivn , ot coal moro than
twice as largo as the coal urea of Pennsyl
vania. The district in which petroleum is
found extends diagonally across tbo state , n
distance of nearly 400 miles , with a breadth
varying from 10 to 1AJ miles. Homltlto iron
ore. assaying ( iO to 70 percent , metallic ore
and earning no titanium , U found In largo
and frequent deposits. Vast inkos of soda
exist in numerous localities. Building stone
Is found almost every whoro. Gold and sil
ver nro found in paving quantities , also cop
per , load , tin , asbestos , mica , magnesium ,
sulphur , graphite , kuollii.llro clay , class sand
ana other valuable deposits. The Held for
capital is almost unlimited , and the pains-
making , faithful arlisuu or laborer
never need want. As proof
of this there is not a pjor
liouso In the state and no nocossitv for one ,
while instances are many , iu fact it .3 almost
iao rule , that younc mon and women who
iiave been a few years loaldonts of the stite
ind fairly economical , nave already a compe
tency. It is true that there are occasional
cases of distress and that the counties are
sometimes ca'lcd ' upon to render temporary
aid to certain persons or families u ho have
become reduced tbrougn sickness , misfor
tune or dissipation , but such occurrences are
very rare. The state is one of the most
healthful on the glebe and many lives hnvo
been saved or piolongod by leaving the moio
humid eastern ors-juthern countries and le-
pilrliiff to the lucroasoa nltltudo ana rare at
mosphere of this section , where there Is ab
solutely raorosunshino nnd less cloudy days
and hours than In any part of our counirv.
H would not bo appropriate or discreet to
vontuio an estimate iu dollars and cents of
the many fortunes , small , medium and faiily
largo , that have bean umdonndaro still po <
seised by the men of Wyoming now living
tnuro who wont to thai now country bat n
few yoais since. It Is n slate of pio'tperous
men. Wo have many young men who , com
ing to our lorrltory poor , are now well-to-do
and who are worth all the way from 5OJJ to
J.VJ.OOO each. Wo have n few millionaires ,
but wo liuve qtllto a number of cltl/ons who
are worth from $101000 to half n million and
who have in ado this amount within a few
years. I do not moan to gay that WvominB
1 * n plnco for drones nor for young men who
cannot got n living eNowhore. Such men as
uio young and healthv but who fool that thai-
can not got a living elsewhere hud better stay
uwny from Wyoming. As Tor mon and wo
men , young and middle-aged , who huvo en
ergy und courage nnd who nro willing to
work and to accept privation and
thn subordinate positions which must eoino
at the start , tlio stntu offers u fair show. To
all people who huvo pluck nnd uo-uhoaditlvo
ncsi , I say Wyomlnir is one of the best placo-
in the world for you and promotion und op
portunlty will come to you there long bofoio
> ou coulct got them In any of tha older states.
To these with capital for investment I suy
unreservedly , Wyoming U n magnificent llyju

millions of acres of unoccupied public ) lands
subject to entry under tbo United States
land laws , and the moio than 000 streams ,

Increasing , furnishes a lucrative homo mar

Wyoming needs manufucturlob to handle her

than ono vowel Is used in writing a bundled ,
words. Still it Is absolutely nocosinry that
the stenographer should hnvo the ability to
use them readily whenever ho mav IKUO oc
casion to do so. Thov nro indicated by dots
and dabhes. A heavy dot mitten to tlio
center of the consonant , us illustrated in
line 1 , represents the long sound of n. A
liKht dot written in like manner , luurcsontu
