Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 6.-State
Land Appraiser William Gilcrest has
just returned from the Goshen Hole
country and reports the discovery of
a remarkable phenomenon in hat sec
ton. Gilcrest has a photograph of a
huge sand hill two miles long and a
mile wide, taken a few years ago.
This sand hill was then situated nine
miles from the Wyoming-Nebraska
line. Since then the peculiar action of
the wind in blowing the sand at the
west of the hill. making 1t bank up
constantly at the cas- end and thus
steadily move forward. has actually
transported the huge mountain of sand
a distance of eight miles, until it now
stands just one mile from the Nebras-
ka line. and will cross the line, Ap
praiser Gilcrest estimates, some time
next year. The movement Of the sand
hill is more clearly demonstrated by a
trail eight miles long which it has left
behind, composed of a barren tract of
ground with a hard, crutlike forma-
ton.
