A CHANCE FOR CHEAP LAND.

Few people in Wyoming are aware OF
the fact that the law relating to the
sale of isolated tracts of land was Sc
amended by the last congress that 100
acres may be taken Immediately after
all surrounding lands have been en-
tered or otherwise disposed of. In all
probability there are a number of such
disconnected tracts of land. The min
imum price is SLIPS per acre, but must
be sold to the highest bidder. At the
time of the sale the purchaser is re
quired to furnish evidence in the form
of afidayits to the effect that the land
contains no sallnes, stone or minerals
The applicant pays all the expenses
usually amounting to $40 and takes
the risk of being the successful pur
chaser. 1t is very seldom hat more
than N bidder appears.
