Men of Arkansas gold seekers follow Santa Fe to California
A fragmented account recalls Arkansas men chasing gold along the Santa Fe and Gila Trails toward California. One group, the Washington County Gold Mining Co with Cherokee allies, split at Pueblo with whites turning south and Cherokees north, a route later tied to Ashley and Fremont explorations. C W Line, a Cherokee Argonaut, wrote in August 1849 from East Lake City detailing the route from Pueblo through Ft St Vrains, South Platte, South Cache La Poudre, Medicine Bow, North Park, North Platte, Green River, to the South Pass.

Wyoming Fish Division Faces Rising Costs and Stocking Push
Wyoming Game and Fish officials report rising operational costs for the Fish Division from 1959 to 1990, with costs near 600,000 dollars in 1959 and 161,219 dollars for the division's 1960 operations. Stocking totals climbed from 13.5 million fish in 1959 to 3,273,000 in 1990 across eight state stations, with expanding help from two federal stations. License income grew but not enough to cover rising costs, as nonresident licenses contributed about 75 percent of revenue. Officials emphasize heightened fishing pressure and the need for large, reliable plantings to support lakes like Lake Desmet and Jackson Lake.

Flames Gorge Reservoir Stocking Plan Reveals Big Costs
An official said the Flaming Gorge project will be a reality by 1963 and that at least 8,000,000 fingerlings will be stocked in the reservoir’s first hour. Rehabilitation at new sites is needed before stocking to remove coarse fish. The Green River coarse fish removal project above Flaming Gorge Dam is estimated at $129,000, a sum larger than 1959 resident license revenue.

Opportunity Without Takers Opens Medical Field For Youth
The American Medical Association notes a drop in applications to 85 medical colleges from 11 percent of graduates in 1947 to four percent in 1958. Low birth rates in the 1930s and more career options divert candidates, despite medicine’s rapid growth and increasing research funding toward 3 billion by 1970. The M D degree offers a path to significant social good and ample opportunity.
