THE WYOMING REGION.
People in the Wyoming region are well pleased
that conference has taken place between Gov
ernor Hartrant and General OSBORNE, and most
beneficial results are anticipated from the con-
sultatlon. Tne best class OF miners mere, WDile
determined TO continue the struggle with the oper-
ators, are quite outspoken in their condem-
nation Of the actions which have taken place
In the lower part OF the county. They are
IN sympathy with the miners in other localities IN
resistance To a reduction OF wages, but Will not
JOIN them IN irregular and unlawful demonstra-
ton. Tne fact that the Governor and General
commanding this department are considering the
events OF the present week Will do more than any
tnlng else to e1ectually suppress the spirit OF
turoulance which has begun to crop out under the
stimulation OF designing men, VINO nave been
working against the best interests OF the miners,
and we shall be spared any repetition OF disorder.
How long the lockout viii continue 1t is lmpossi-

June, but they struggled over six months IN 1871,
