The Courier has, of late, had
 talks with stockmen from all parts
 of this and adjoining counties and
 has learned from them. that dry as
 was the past summer, stock of all
 kinds are in good fix to endure the
 hardships of winter.
 MT. Collins and other buyers of
 beef ca4tle, who came here recently
 from California have made large
 purchases of suitable animals. Mir.
 e. is quoted as having said that the
 fattest range animals he purchased
 were those picked up along Verde,
 Clear, Oak and other creeks, from 40 to 50 miles east of Prescott. They were not only large but fat.
 He is coming back after more.
 They were driven to the Atlantic and Pacific railroad and taken tseI
 Los Angeles, California, by 5aihsi They netted owners from $22 teS3Q5i a head. More cattle arc now being gathered for shipment to Kansasis is City. , ssI
 Besides the Verde, Mogollon and Tonto Basin sections of our cvun- ty, thore are, to draw from Walnut Grove, Skull, Peoples, and other valleys west of Prescott, Date Creek, Santa Maria, Williamson, the Chi nos, Walnut Creek, Camp Wood, Agua Fria, Black Hills and the great region south, so that our stock men are not ''cribbed, cabin ed and confned," but have an inn mense grass area for stock to range upon.
 In summer, the high mountains afford fine pasturage for cattle, horses and sheep.
 What is true of Yavapai county is also true of other counties of the Territory, so that Arizona is enti- tied to be classed as one of the best stock growing and fattening divi- sions of the Union. But, 1t will not do to overcrowd our great and this being the case we have now in the Territory, enough cattle for all purposes, and do not want any more poor stock driven in, not until such time as more water shall have been developed upon ranges where, unfortunately, surface water has always been scarce in dry seasons,
 Fifteen years ago, there were not to exceed ten small herds of cattle n Arizona, now there are in the several counties hundreds of thou sands of-eattle,-man of~them of breeds. Fifteen years lgo, horses were scarce; to-day nerds of them are seen in every  valley in the settled portions of the Territory, and the breed is being improved
 If we can manage to protect the 'ange; to keep the native grasses rom being trampled out; to grow more of the tame grasses, we can, n a decade, own four times as much stock as at present. Farming will advance with stock raising, so that with our mines, our stock, our tim per, etc., it will be strange, indeed, f Arizona will much longer lag behind any of her sister Territo- cies.-Prescott Courier.
