Excerpt from The Atlantic Gold District, Fremont County, Wyoming Though the district is one of considerable relief, the slopes are commonly smooth except locally along some of the principal canyons, and almost any point may be easily reached by wagons. The three principal creeks of the district are perennial streams, the waters of which have been used in a small way for sluice mining and to furnish power for stamp mills. They are not, however, of sufficient volume to be considered alone as of importance in the future development of the district, though if reinforced by waters from Popo Agis River, Rock Creek offers some possibilities. There is no saw timber in the district, and mine timber is practically lacking, excepting in very small areas, mainly within the Washakie National Forest. Both may be obtained, however, should the need arise, from localities within the national forest 10 to 15 miles to the north. Wood for fuel is hauled from 8 to 12 miles, but only dead wood is obtainable for this purpose, at a cost of to $5 a cord. Such sparse tree growth as the immediate region origin ally supported has been greatly depleted, but firewood for prospectors' camps is furnished by aspen, nut pine, and jack pine growing in favored localities. Throughout this foothill region there is an abundant growth of dry land grasses affording summer range for beef cattle and for sheep. Several hay ranches are profitably Operated in irrigable valleys within 10 or 15 miles of Atlantic City, and along the Sweetwater this industry could undoubtedly be extended.
