adyice5 from Wyoming Democrats Il
Washington are to the effect that the

and that they were not on July 2. 1864, or
July 6. 1882, known mineral lands and no Min-
eral other than coal or iron have been dis
covered thereon. Lists of the lands selected
in Fergus county by the railroad company
have bcen filed in the land Office. claiming
it rs part OF the grant. but the government
refuses to issue patents or certificates to
the railroad. and the question whether the

versy. The company says the nndsh have
never been selected from the public lands
and have never been identified, and that it
cannot paw the cost Of the survey until it ia
dster mined what specific lands enure TO
the railroad. It has already paid $149.-
408.7 70 for surveys within the limits Of the
