Platte and Arkansns Rivers.

Drawing line fifty miles east of the mountains,
from the north to the south boundary of the State,

of Colorado rendered barren of pasturase by the
drought of last summer. Within this belt there
were before winter set in, 800 eco head of cattle
Upon the approach of cold weather, 100000 were
of the State, and 100000 driven to the
the dry belt. Of these, 5000 have been wintered
in Larimer and Boulder Counties principally.
Among these the loss has been insignificant. The
remaining $1,000 have given most Of the victims to

occurred Out of this 81 900 the loss is estimated

Within the section of country lying between
these streams, there is but little loss the number,
however, being counted in the total estimate. The
count of dead cattle on the Platte begins ut Jules

that at least :, 900 are Wyoming cattle The count
of dead cattle on the Arkansas was made simultane-
with that of the Platte. The count was made
from Bent's Ford to old Fort Lyon distance Of
forty-ive miles, and 800 dead bodies found.
At the ratio taken from the State line west

cattle in the State at $50 900, and in order to
all the territory, bases his estimate of mortality at
double the number known to he dead. The number
ascertained by actual count foots up only II per
cent. Doubling this percentage, he gives the esti-
mated number of dead cattle at about =, 900 head
out of $4,000. This number he says, is larger than
ever known before.-DeHrer Tribune.
