All hope of reaching the bodies of the dead miners in the Hanna mine has been given up, at least for the-time the-time being, as when the rescuers tapped the brattice which has been built in the hope of smothering the fire in the seventeenth entry, the gas and flames drove them back.

Sheepmen say that in all probability there will be fewer sheep in Wyoming during next winter than has been the case for several winters past The cause of this is that the lamb crop of this year has turned out to be unusually un-usually light; in fact, not much more than sufficient to supply the market demand which always occurs In the fall. The wool crop was unusually heavy, however, and recompensed the flockmasters for the shortage of lambs. |
