Latest from the Hills.

dublin" Lyons arrived here yester-
day afternoon direct from Deadwood,
where he has been for the past two
months. he brought with him $500
in gold dust, which was put up in small
packages for distribution to a dozen
different PARTIES M. Lyons has lost
none Of his faith in the Hills, but on
the contrary is more earnest than ever
in expressing the opinion that the new
mining region is the richest and best
on the continent. He came through
with but one companion, and saw no
Indians during the trip.
Mr.. Lyons states that n company
of men who have very rich claims near
Deadwood, haYe three large kegs of
dust 5whfuh they are guarding night
and day, and that they have actually
taken the gold out so fast and in such
large quantities that they don't know
what to do with it.
It is the opinion Of the best informed
men that the tenderfeet who now own
the best claims, viii have Accumulated
enough dust to satisfy them in a month
or two from now, and win then aban-
don their claims or sell them cheap and
leave. This will throw the claims into
the handle OF practicals miners and men
who will develop them for TALL they are
worth"
Lyons says every man met in the

LANDER CRY.
One of the Many Pleasant Places in
Western Wyoming.

Lander City is situated in the Big
Popoagie valley about one hundred and
forty miles north Of Green River city.
The Big Popoagie valley proper is from
sixty to seventy miles in length, but
in some places the bluffs or mountains
approach so close to the river as to leave
only a narrow passage, and again widen
out to from three to six miles. The
section of the valley in which Lander
City is stu ated is about six miles in
length. At the head of the valley the
river forks into three branches, one
running through the center and one on
either side, watering the whole section
without the use of large irrigating
bitches. A year ago there were but
few families, but to-day there are prob
bly, no less than sixty to eighty families
settled, the little log houses dotting the
valley here and there, giving it the ap
pearance of a New England township.
The climate is all that could be wish
ed for. During the winter but very lit
tie snow falls, and what does never lies
on the ground more than a few hours,
as the warm rays Of the sun and high
mountains surrounding keep off the
wind and storms, and it soon melts.
Grain of all kinds grows in abundance,
wheat averaging about fifty bushels tc
the acre; oats, from sixty to seventy,
and barley about sixty bushels. Pota'
toes and vegetables of all kinds grow
abundantly. In fact-tlle climate seems
to be very prolific, twenty-seven chill
dren having been born there since the
first of January, 1876 NA I
t. For stock raising it certainly cannot
be excelled. Not a spear of hay is eyel
cut for stock. During the summer
months they Craze in the foothills ans
canons, and ain the winter in the val
leys. One gentleman Informed us thai
he could make money raising beef a
one cent per pound, live weight, as all
he had to do was to brand his stock II
the spring, and turn them out till ths
next spring, when he would bring then
up, count and brand the young ones
There are now owned in the settlement
about six thousand head of cattle, q
doing finely.
All the streams in that section aboun,
in trout, and wild game such as black
tail deer, antelope and elk, is abundant
while only about fifty miles down tn
river, buffalo can be captured at almos
any season of the year. Evanston Age
