The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses. six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 200,
600 acres Of land houses eorrals and other build
ings necessary to conduct the business, located In
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
IT has long been known that the raising OF Cattle
in Texas, NewMexco, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means. these men within a comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings Of
the Pacific Coast Their success shows the results
of intelligent and persevering efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves conclusivey that investment
made Ia the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not fa-
miliar with the resources of the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon, will at commend this class
of investment to anyone who win take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States, and more particularly Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona. Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per centage of interest than Is
returned by any other legtimatei nvestment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
tainties usually attending highly remunerative or
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experience renders
them familiar with all details and emnently fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.
From the earnings each year after payment of
expenses the holders of the preferred stock are to
receive dividend of per cent, three per cent
to be placed in the contingent fund and the balance
to be divided among the holders of the common
stock.

Union Pacific was very weak on reports that
the compaDy's earnings for September and
October show 81 900, 600 decrease. The com.

rental asked by the Boston & Lowell. Mean
time the Grand Trunk people are believed to
have virtually arranged for lease of the now
