A revolution is going on in the beef business. There will be a change from shipment of live stock to shipment of dressed beef, and in my opinion it will come from Missouri river points-Kansas City and Council Bluffs-and also St. Paul. Eventually meat will be dressed there and shipped east, and the stock yards business of Chicago will be affected very materially. But I do not know that 1t will hurt the large slaughtering houses here. They are supplied by large dis trict of corn-fed cattle. Armour, Swift, Morris and Hammond draw their supplies from it and are not dependent on the west-in truth, they are almost independent of the range district.-J. N. Simpson, i'll Chicago Tribune.

The train load of beef steers re gently shipped from Phoenix to Kansas City-and which we spoke of at the time as being one of the largest and fattest lot of beeves ever shipped from the Territory brought only $3.65 per hundred, and netted their owners but $17.1S per head. This was partly owing to the demoralized condition of the market and partly to the fact that the steers lost much flesh in tran sit, being fifteen days on the road. Stockman.
The St. Johns herald., 1886-09-02

A stockman has called our at tention to the bad practices of some ranchmen of permitting stray stock to remain upon their ranges unnoticed for months at time, or until the owner by accident learns of their whereabouts. The law in the matter of posting estrays is very plain, and the penalty tor a failure to comply with the law very severe. Ranchmen should do their duty to their neighbors in this mat ter, or they may get into trouble with courts and lose the respect and assistance of all stock growers Deming Headlight.

In the past thirteen months forty four editors and students have been imprisoned in the City of Mexico alone for either printing or publicly expressing views in opposition to the policy of the Administration. Everything which comes over the wires in the regular way to the press to be submitted to a sort of Government censorship before it is permitted to be published. The editorial utterances of each news paper are carefully weighed, some times before they appear in print, by Government officials. Editors, proprietors and publishers are held to rigid accountability for every infraction of Governmental regula- tions, which regulations are often in direct antagonism to the law of the land. Democracy of the Mex ican brand is in no sense less arbi- trary and oppressive than the des- potism of the Sultan or the Czar.- Exchange.

There Is an international wal brewing over in PresidiO county
 Stockmen of that county have been losing sheep by the wholesale, and also cattle, which have been driven off by Mexicans who cross the Rio Grande, help themselves and then depart. John Ives, 1t is said, has lost in the past six weeks, 5000 worth of horses, cattle and sheep. The Rio Grande, where his ranch touches it, is very shallow. The raiders simply ride across, scoop ing anything in sight, and then ride back. Other stockmen have lost by the raids, but they are, most of them, small people who are not able to hire a sufficient force to de- fend their ranches. Complaint has been made to the state department and to Secretary Bayard at Wash ington. According to last reports it is a very serious state of affairs, and petty conflicts are constantly occurring.-San Angelo Standard.

Pixley, of Lamoille, has lost fifteeh in the last few months; James Adams has lost twenty-seven; Keith & Camp bell lave had 1t among their bands for two years, and lost fifteen or twenty head, and A. G. Dawley has lost twelve fine mares. None have ever got we'll yet, but he has two now that are trying hard to wear it out. It seems like paralysis in some respects, but nothing has been found in the body to show what it is. Mr. Dawley thinks the depart ment will send a doctor out from Washington to see if he can study 1t out.

An exchange saws w B. Slauqh

An exchange says W. B. Slaugh- ter, one ot the largest cattle owners in New Mexico, has consolidated his interests with those of Thomas B. Catron and Henry NJ. Atkinson, and the new company, to be known as the American Valley Cattle Com pany, has been incorporated for $50O,OO0, of which Slaughter holds $367 300 in stock. The new com pany has about 15,00O head of cat tie on their range, 40 by 60 miles in extent, large part of which is patented land.

The Comercio del Valle, pub lished in St. Louis, prints a letter in it's last issue from its correspon- dent in the City of Mexico to the effect that the President and ex- Presidents of the Central American Republics of Salvador, Nicaragua, Hondura, Costa Rica and Guate- mala ssare now in that city arrang- ing a plan for the union of those states in one confederation with the ultimate view of the annexation to the Mexican Republic.

The Wilcox Stockman says MT.
 D. Johnson, whose ranch is few
 miles southeast of Wilcox, informs us that he has lost several calves
 lately from some unknown disease.
 The calves seem to choke up when
 drinking, the water is forced back
 through the nose, and then they
 commence to stagger and soon fall
 over and die. We have heard of no other cattlemen losing calves from this malady. MT. J. J, Tay- Tor, of this place, received informa- tion this week that thirty-five head of his work oxen, which arc used in freighting between here and Globe, had died at point on the Gila river seven miles the other side of Fort Thomas. MT. Taylor sent a man to investigate the matter, and he reports that the oxen all died within three or four days of each other, and that several Mexican freighters have lost about all their oxen at the same place. Over a hundred dead cattle can be count ed without moving ones position. They die from some undetermined malady, but the man whom Mr. Taylor sent to inquire into the mat ter thinks that 1t is caused from eating old, dry feed. The first symptoms of the disease are a trembling of the entire body, and the animals die soon after being at tackled. A number of range cattle have also died in the same vicinity from this disease, but no serious losses among the latter are appre- hended, as the deaths have occur red only in very small scope of country.

 In each of the last five fiscal years Mexico's revenues fell short of it's expenditures. The deficit in the year ending June 30, 1886, was, according to estimates made by the Mexican Secretary of Finance, about $9,OO0,OOO Taxation is bur densome, and the tariff is high, yet the Mexican Government finds 1t impossible to make both ends meet. The total national debt which it recognizes, and which there is some probability that it may eventually pay, if the Government is not weak ened by internal or foreign war or overthrown altogether, is $155,000,- GOO. Portions of this it has threa- tened to "scale," and even repu- diate, several times. The debt in- cured by Maximilian is ignored by Mexico, which is not altogether unjust. 1 amounts to about $200,- 100000. Mexico owes nearly $60,- O0O,000, including interest accrued, of it's debt of $15O,OOO.OOO to Eng land, nearly $5,OOO,OOO to Spain, and $5OO,OOO to the United States. The floating debt of the republic, amounting to about $25,0O0,000, has recently been funded at per cent, in treasury bonds payable at par in annual drawings in twenty five years. Mexico always finds great difficulty in negotiating loans, even for purposes of peace, at the highest rates of interest asked from any civilized nation. Its difficulty in obtaining a loan to prosecute q war against great power like the United States would be vastly in- creased, if not rendered entirely impossible. Wars, as waged to-day, are far more costly affairs than they were forty years ago, when Mexico sent it's legions to the Bravo to pun ish Texrs for presuming to accept admission into the American Union and to overawe the United States. War now with the United States would result in the dismemberment of Mexico, the subversion of the republic, and the establishment of a monarchy or a dictatorship.

The Nogales Frontier says Gene ral Miles was met here by Governor Torres, of Sonora, Mexico, last Tuesday. These gentlemen held a long consultation upon the Indian situation, It is thought that Gen. eral Miles will be permitted to re- cruit a company of Sierra Madre Indians, who are known enemies to the Apaches, braver, more cun- ming, and more enduring.

The other day, not a thousand miles from Wilcox, says the Stock man, a merchant was in conversa- tion with a patriarchial Mormon and asked the latter how many children he had, ''Twelve," was the reply. A little daughter of the Saint was present, and on hearing This reply, said, "Why, papa, you have thirty-three." Whatever the number may be, that Mormon is now of the opinion that he has at least one daughter too many.

The Globe Silver Belt says we are informed that James Kirke and five other ranchmen were surprised by Indians on the 10th instant in Santa Rosa canon, about twenty five miles southeast of Bacuachi, Sonora, and three of their number killed and two wounded.

 two of their pursuers the first fire. A desperate fight followed, result

An exchange says strange dis ease has appeared on the horse ranges of Elko county, Nevada. The sick animal usually shows lameness in the left hind leg, as if it had thrown its stifle out. Soon the other hind leg is taken and the animal breaks down entirely, and seems. to suffer great pain. The disease is always fatal, though it runs from two weeks to three months. It is much more frequent in mares than horses, though Mir. Dawley has a fine stallion sick now.
 There is nothing local about it, as they are taken on the range, in pas ture or anywhere when otherwise

A generous rainfall in some sec tions of Arizona, says the Globe Silver Belt, has caused a cores bonding rise in the spirits of stock men in the favored localities. How ever, we trust that the cattlemen of the Territory will not be so short sighted as to jump at the cOnclu- sion that with the coming of rain all danger is past. The relief, at best, can only be temporary, and cattlemen should be awake to the fact that a large portion of the range country in this Territory is already overstocked, and that the inevitable result of increasing the herds by further importations from Texas and other sections, must be disastrous to the live stock indus try of Arizona. Stockmen, instead of striving to increase their herds, should rather endeavor to improve the quality of their stock and con- duct their affairs on business prin- ciples and not in the hap-hazard way that has heretofore been the rule Intelligence and economy are necessary to success in stock-rais- ing, as in every other business.

The Las Vegas Optic says gen. tleman who came up from Fl Pasc says that the Mexicans in .Paso del Norte shot an American flag flying from an American house in that town, into rags and streamers.
