The superintendent Of a mine owner
borrowed money at bank to pay the
miners, and executed notes in the name
Of his principal for the loan, and sent
letters and telegrams to his principal, at
his residence in Cincinnati, advising
him Of what he had done. No replies
were received from him Upon re-
fusai TO pay, the bank brought suit on
the notes and recovered judgment. The

California sheep men are swarming
into Texas, and owners Of flocks in the

there. Ex-Governor X. Pacheco is now
down in Texas looking for large tract
of land for ranching purposes.-Re

Various stockmen here say the Wyo.

noticeable loss, while ut the Office Of the
secretary of the Wyoming Stock Grow

have as yet been reported aside from
those caused by the cars. The winter
has been very mild and cattle were in
splendid condition and able to with.
stand severe siege of cold weather.

As the bulk Of the young cattle have

total number to be driven the class Of
cattle, and their destination. We esti-
mate the total number of cattle to 90 up

A gentleman Of Cheyenne is preparing
such a statement Of this territory's adj.
vantagcs for cattle raising as has long
been demanded by eastern capitalists.
While statistics in abundance have been
obtained, the writer intends to incorpo-
rate in his work chiefly such facts as he
has acquired in his own experience.
Although he is now the manager Of one
OF the largest cattle companies in Wyo-
ming, he has studied the business Of
stock raising thoroughly, beginning as a
herder Of horses, and passing through
the grades Of cowboy, foreman, manager
and financier. OF his competency to
! present the facts bearing upon the cattle
business of to-day in Wyoming there is
no doubt. His work will open to the
eastern reader all procurable data as to
the amount of stock in Wyoming, the
kind of cattle now in the territory, and
the prospect opened up here to the in.
vcstor of capital. There is no such COM
I pilation now extant. It's need is much
felt by the two classes interested-the
practical stock raiser without capital and
the capitalist Who is looking at the cattle
ranges Of Wyoming with an eye to in
acknowledgements Leader.
From the best information we can
gain, yearlings are being bought for $l2
ard $3.50 and sold for SIS and SIG, de.
livered. Two-year-olds are being bought
for $l7 and sold for SO, delivered.
Cows are selling for $50, but there are
very few in the market. There seems
to be great demand for heifers, but as
there are none offered for sale Of any
consequence, no positive quotation can
be glven.-Texas Live Stock Journal.
