smaller game are found in the mountains directly 

 west of the lands. Laramie Peak has been noted for 

 years as the finest field for big game in the West. 

 Ducks and geese are. plentiful in the fall and spring 

 in the many small lakes and ponds in the neighbor- 

 hood of the tract and along the Laramie river and its 

 various tributary creeks. The storage reservoirs on 

 the company land are stocked with food fishes and 

 the Laramie and Platte rivers swarm with pike and 

 channel cat while in the mountains are numerous 

 trout streams. 



PRICES AND TERMS. 



The lands are sold at $12 to $25 an acre, according 

 to location and quality. This price includes owner- 

 ship in the water, every purchaser becoming a joint 

 owner with the other purchasers and with the company 

 in the irrigation system under which the lands lie, 

 thereby doing away with the heavy and onerous bur- 

 den of an annual water tax, which in most colony and 

 irrigation schemes puts a perpetual burden on the 

 settler and takes away a good share of his annual 

 profits; never gives him absolute ownership in the 

 water, without which his land is worthless, and thus 

 puts him forever at the mercy of the owners of the 

 water system under which he is farming. Buyers of 

 Wheatland farms buy the water rights also, the only 

 annual charges being a pro rata division of the cost 

 of annual repairs and these, owing to the stability 

 and strength with which all the works have been 

 constructed, are nominal. 



Terms are easy. A cash payment of one-tenth is 

 required at 'the time of purchase. No payment ex- 

 cept interest is required the second year. The bal- 

 ance is to be paid in nine annual payments. Inter- 

 est is 6 per cent. A family with $500 cash can get a 



Wheatland farm and by industry and economy can, 

 during the first year, make a living and a fair profit 

 and in the succeeding years can rise gradually, but 

 surely, to financial independence. 



AN UNEXCELLED OPPORTUNITY. 



By the actual results of six years' farming the lands 

 of the Wyoming Development Company are proven 

 to be of excellent quality. 



The water supply is ample to irrigate every acre. 



The irrigation works are permanent and substantial 

 and water storage is provided by natural and perma- 

 nent reservoirs. 



Markets are close at hand ; prices are good and by 

 reason of Wheatland's location in reference to the 

 range cattle industry and to the iron and other min- 

 eral districts will continue so. 



Railway communication is established. 



Good schools and churches are ensured. 



The conveniences of the town are close at hand. 



Stock raising may be combined with farming under 

 the favorable circumstances of free pasture. 



Prices, considering the quality of land and that 

 they include ownership of water rights, are exceed- 

 ingly low. 



Terms of purchase are easy. 



These facts considered, there is no place in the 

 United States offering safer, surer or more substan- 

 tial inducements to the intelligent farmer and home- 

 seeker of small capital than are to be found at 

 Wheatland. 



For any other information the intending settler or 

 home-seeker should address,
