Green River—is the county seat of
Sweetwater county, 845 miles west of
Omaha, the end of the Laramie and the
commencement of the Western Division
of the U,. P.

The place is a regular eating station,
where passenger trains stop 80 minutes—
those from the East for breakfast, those
from the West tor supper. Much taste is
displayed at this station in decorating the
dining room and office with mountain cu-
riosities, mineral specimens, moss agate
and horns of game.

The city has a good court-house—costing
$35,000; several dry goods, grocery, cloth-
ing and other stores; two hotels, and about
400 population; also, a daily newspaper,
the Hoening Press. The Railroad Com-
pany has a round-house of 15 stalls, and
machine shops and repair shops, located
here, that, in the early years of the road,
were at Bryan.

It is claimed that the surrounding coun-
try isrich in mines, but one thing is cer-
tain—it is rich in cattle; it has cattle on
more than a “thousand hills.”

The bluffs near this station present a
peculiar formation called, by Prof. Hay-
den, the “Green River Shales.” For a
beautiful illustration of the bluffs, the sta-
tion and the bridge, see ANNEX No. 16.

The walls of these bluffs rise perpendic-
ularly for hundreds of feet, are of a grayish
buff color, and are composed of layers, ap-
parently sedimentary deposits of all thick-
nesses, from that of a knife-blade to two
feet. At the base of the bluff the layers
are thin and composed of arenaceous clay,
with laminated sandstone, mud markings
and other indications of shallow water or
mud flats; color for 100 feet, ashen brown;
next above are lighter colored layers, al-
ternate with greenish layers, and fine
