WILDER C. Knight, professor of Min
ing and Geology in the University of
Wyoming, has in the National Geo
graphic Magazine for December a very
interesting article on THE Wyoming
Fossil Fields Expedition of July, 1899"
Concerning the previous progress made
in the gathering of fossils in this state
Prof. Knight says:
There has already been a renewal
of activity in collecting fossil remains
in Wyoming. Col a number of years,
during the '70s and SOS, Wyoming was
the most attractive field in the world
for the students of vertebrate remains,
and the collections than made include
some of the rarest n most valuable
known to science From 1890 to 1895
little was done, but a revival occurred
in 1897. Owing to the success of the
American Museum of Natural History
and the University of Wyoming in col
leCting remains of dinosaurs. Mr.. E.
l.. Lomax. general passenger and tick
ct agent of the Union Pacific railroad
company. concluded that he could rem
der a valuable service to the scientific
world by organizing an expedition on
a large scale for the purpose of col
l~ecting fossils and studying geology.
Mr.. LomaX began with the publ
cation of an illustrated pamphlet.
which gave in a brief way some infor-
nation pertaining to the fossil fields
INC the restoration of some of the i'm.
portant animals that, long prior to the
the existence of man. inhabited what
is now Wyoming. This pamphlet, to.
gether with ar invitation to join the
expedition, was sent in the spring of
1899 to every university, college. and
museum of Importance in the United
States. The invitation included free
transportation from Chicago to Lara.

FOR PATENT.
the District and a Hearing Order.
ed by the Commissioner of the
General Land Otfice-Many Well
Known Claims Affected.

On January 10 of the present year
made a selection of lands and applied
for patent for the same. Among the
lands embraced in the selection was
section 81, township Is. range IS. The
famous Cooper Hill mining camp is 10.
Gated on this section, and when the
fact of the selection became known il
short time ago to George w Fox and
others interested in mines in that
camp, arrangements We're at once
made to contest the right of the rail
road company. A protest was filed
in the land Office at Cheyenne. the in.
terested parties alleging hat the land
was more valuable for mineral than for
agricultural purposes, and asked that
they be given an-opportunity to prove
their allegation.
Word was received in Laramie today
that the commissioner of the general
land office at Washington has ordered
that a hearing be had, and directing the
land office authorities at Cheyenne to
provide for the same. The date of the
hearing has not yet been fixed. but it
is probable hat it will take place with
in the next sixty days. either at Chey-
enne or Laramie.
The Cooper Hill people claim hat
they have several deals on foot for
mining property in this district. but in
case the railroad company secures IT,
tie to the land they will be unable to
consummate the sale of their proper
ties. If the mineral character of the
land can be established the company's
claim will be invalidated. as no land
which is clearly mineral land can pass
to the railroad company under the law.
The interested parties are confident
of being able 70 establish the mineral
character of the whole section in con
troversy, and will offer in evidence as
say certificates which show that ore
from nearly every part of the hill will
run from 81 to sl75 per ton in precious
metals.
