Col. Sam Carpenter, who has been
supplying the beef contract at San
Carlos for the past year, states that
the Arizona inspectors charged their
regular fees ON every bunch of beeves
he drove into Arizona. Those Arizo-

against the inspection Of beeyes from
their country passing through New
Mexico should investigate this matter
and force their inspectors to disburse.
An Inspection fee against beef cattle
in transit to or from either Territory
is unjust, but if 1t is suspended on one
side it should be ON botb.--SilYer City

A special train of twenty-one cars,
loaded with $50 head of beef steers,
passed through here yesterday en-
route to Kansas City The cattle were
raised in the vicinity of Phoenix, and
we're in charge of Mr.. D. L. Murray.
They belong to Mr.. Murray, c. G. Eys-
ter and Hudson & GRAPHICAL, all of
Phoenix, and are decidedly the finest
lot Of beef cattle we have yet seen
shipped from the Territory. They
were threes and tours, in prime con-
dition, and some idea of their size can
be formed from the fact that they
averaged only eighteen and fraction
to the car. They were consigned to
J. H. Campbell & Co. --Southwestern

any necessity for, or prospect of profit
in the importation Of frozen meat to
the land Of the Setting Sun. with
