CHEYENNE. WyoT"Aprll 17. (Special.)
Tho land department of the Union Pacific
has been called upon to settle a dcllcato
question Involving tho disposition of severnl
hundred thousand acres of land In the south
western part of Wyoming. Several days ago
tho company accepted tho proposition of
tho Wool Growers' association of Carbon
county to lease 1,000,000 acres of grazing
land at an annual rental of G cents per acre.
Now como tho wool growers of Uinta nnd
Sweetwater counties, who havo been using
a portion of tho tract applied for by the
Carbon county flockmastors, with a protest
against leasing this big tract to the Carbon
county men, on tho grounds that they will
bo deprived of so much of their range as
to forco many out of the business. Sev
eral meetings bavo been held at Rawlins
In an attempt to adjust matters, but tho
opposing factions nre determined. Tho
range ln dispute Is what Is known as tho
Red desert nnd has been used as a winter
feeding ground by nil of the sheepmen of
southwestern Wyoming and eastern Utah.
As tho flockmastors of Uinta and Sweetwater
counties aro themselves leasers of large
tracts of railroad land tho company has a
difficult problem to solve.

ard of Potter county for admission to the

ney of Potter county nnd flics his applica
tion for a rehearing. Tho commissioners of
Potter county a few days ago declared tho

plication for rehearing had not been passed
upon ho was entitled to the office.

Tho recent strlko on the "Mohawk" gold
mlno at Oold Hill, twenty-five miles from
this place, whero ore assaying $5,000 to tho
ton was uncovered, has created a great
excitement throughout southern Wyoming
and northern Colorado, and as eoon as tho
snow melts off there will bo a rush to the
district. The camp Is remote from railroad
communication and Is situated ln a rugged
and almost Inaccessible spot, but the rich
ness of tho ores found therv will moro than
pay for tho extra expense of getting In
and out and will leavo the owners of tho
mlno a handsome profit ater paying for
hauling and treatment.
