Show WYOMING NOTES. There are two extensive deposits of paint in Sheridan county, one in Little Goose canyon, aud the other in Soldier creek canyon. J. A. Band of Inyau Kara, recently captuted a line specimen of tho American Ameri-can eagle hi a trap. It measured seven feet from tip to tip of tho wings. George Masters of Tongue river, killed a large mountain lion in the hills north of the river a few days ago. Tho animal measured nine feet in length. Tho commissioners of Sweetwater county have entered suit for the collection col-lection of $7:18 alleged to bo due from "Dad" Young as custodian of couniy funds. Experts say tho piece of coal that Fremont county had on exhibition at the mining convention was itself as good as Hock Springs coal, saying nothing of what it would be if taken from a greater depth. In Lander, during 'M, thero was expended ex-pended $35,000 for new buildings alone, saying nothing of repairs, and with a portion of this money, about $15,000, were put up three substancial brick and stone business blocks. J. Nelson, a prominent ranchman near Kvauston had a steer among a bunch of cattle recently sold to local buyers, that weighed 00 pounds. He was smooth and plump and had been fed on nothing but hay. There is no part of Uinta county with anything like the same population that has so little crime of any kind as Star valley. The records of our criminal courts show that there have been no violations vi-olations of thn criminal law in that community, now numbering a thousand souls, since the valley was settled some four years ago. It is expected that tho Choyenne & Northern extension and tbe Vernon quarry spur will increase the value of Converse county to within $:I0.000 of $2, 000,000. The county commissioners are expected to "equalize" this valuation valua-tion liv raising it until it exceeds $3,0i:0,000, which will result in a material ma-terial increase in tho salaries of all the county officials. |
