A CATTLE KING.
What a Member of the Firm of Lux &
Miller told Newspaper Man.

Miller told Newspaper Man.
A representative of the Reno Gazette
fell in with Charles Lux. the other day,
and has this to say about him and his
conversations
"Mr. Lux is, German, under fifty,
with q solid body and large head a
very big face, devoid of beard. His
wonderful success as land owner and
cattle raiser has given him fame. He
came to California so years ago when
all the San Joaquin country swafmed
with cattle, and when the grass grew
high and had not been eaten out. The
firm of Miller & Lux are now and have
been for years the heaviest butchers in
California They kill 1000 beeves a
MONTH, 400 in San Francisco and 200
in San Jose. They also kill 2, 900 sheep
per month, or 100, day., 40 lambs a
day in season, and 400 hogs month.
Seventeen men are employed in and
about the butcher shop. They sell all
their meat to jobbers. Everything is
turned into money, hides, hoofs, horns
and offal of all kinds. They ship $500
head Of beef cattle year from Nevada.
Mr. Lux thinks there must be quarter
Of million head Of cattle IN Nevada,
and says if there was winter feed there
would be room for a. hundred Thousand
more. There is Summer feed for that
many now, but no winter feed.
''In answer to. a question whether
cattle could. not be shipped in and fat
tened during the Summer and then
shipped out, he said they could not,
because they would not recover from
their Journey on the cars in time to fat
ten in one short season. He says cattle
fatten in. Nevada very quickly, and fall
away very quickly when the conditions
are unfavorable. Beeves should be
killed while ON the increase in weight,
and not when they are falling off. The
quality is finer and the flavor better
then. Mr.. Lux shows how railroads
and telegraphs benefit the great cities
at the expense Of monopoists. He says
he once was entitled to the title of Cat
tie King, but he is no longer. He can
not now send beef up or down, as he
once could He says that he has al
ways had ranch eleven miles out from
San Francisco, where he kept few
hundred of his finest cattle. When
prices would shoot up he would run in
sixty or seventy head and slaughter
Them, often making thousands OF dol
lars by the operation. Now, he says,
when beef pops up they telegraph to
San Jose or Stockton, and get them in
before | can drive them eleven miles.
Miller & Lux have an immense ranch of
POO, 600 acres in one body on the San
Joaquin. They have one fence - miles
long They own one canal 20 miles
long, 80 miles of it on their own land.
1t is so feet wide on top and fre feet
deep They also have ranch on Mag
gie's river in Nevada, north of Carlin,
where they raise cattle and feed those
they buy"

The hotel proprietors have quite an anxiety
to meet two young men who came through
our county a few weeks since apparently on
a hunting and fishing tour. They stopped at
our hotels and invariably had the chills, had
them bad, and would the landlord please get
them some whiskey, and the landlord, pos
sessing more confidence in humanity than he
ever will again, gets them the article, and
wherever the little game worked the land
lords were informed by letter that District
Attorney Lunt of Portland wished their
presence at that city, and the trip cost them
some over one hundred dollars. If these
sneaks had taken those who were guilty of
selling liquor it would have seemed different,
but to rope in honest men who had no idea
they were committing any crime seems I'M
just at least. But suppose Kennebec land
