SHEEP PURCHASES.
F'locks-He Discovers Cattle Boom
on His Last Trip.

Mr.. G. S. Gibson, who returned to the
city Monday from the Chestnut country,
informed us that he purchased 5000 head
of young Wethers from u. G. Eaton and
Perkins & Sweetland, and small lots from
other parties in the same vicinity These
will be driven to his Island ranch, a few
miles above the city, and Will, be ranged
III the vicinity Of Bull s Head or between
the Missouri river and the stage road, with
Pablo's i~laffd as the home ranch. One
band nf 1890 reach their destination to-
day, atl,i rhe.others will arrive in q short
time [. addition to these MI. Gibson has
purchased some 1000 head, SO that
he will Rave 5000 head OF sheep Gall
Welhers) On the range referred to this sea-
son. To our inquiry as TO whether or not
he expected to send them ca the Chicago
market this fall he said:
mo, will run them two years at least.
| have bought them at what consider a
very low figure, and the proceeds from
the wool will be as ncesa profit as [ care
for year or two The wool this year
will pay me more than fifty per cent. per
annum on the investment, ami each sue
eeeding season the per cent. will be AS sat
isfactory as any banker would wish. At
the end of two or three years the flock
will be, or ought to be, in prime condition
for the Chicago market, when will get
my original investment back, and proba-
bly, a snug sum over.'
s'sMay ask what these sheep cost you?
It would be matter of general interest, y
suggested the scribe.
II do not care to give. the figures, but
they are what / deem exceedingly low,
considering the present outlook for wool
and mutton"
"HoW is it you have been able to get
such bargains at this time, when the WIN
ter is over and the wool crop as good as
gathered?"
sI'lltell you. Where have been this
trip theretis a perfect mania for investment
in cattle, for small investmefssz as well as
large, and some of the wool growers have
got the craze. They want TO turn their
money into horned stock, and to do this
are willing to accept the best immediate
offers they can get. From. what I have
seen and learned on this trip ! think there
will be more activity in the cattle business
this season particularly in the way OF
small investments in that line-than ever
before, and boom in prices will be a nat
'ural consequences.
Mr.. Gibson seems to view the cattle
boom with complacency, and meantime is
quietly putting his surplus cash in sheep.
He is now the owner Of nearly 10000
head, ranging on Arrow creek and the
Missouri. river, and will have between
SO, 900 and 10000 pounds Of wool to send
down the river this year.

has struck it altogether as rich As the re-

Railroad Rumbles.

The Butte Free Press of the 4th inst.
has lengthy article on prospective rail
road building in Montana, ascrbing great
importance to the work undertaken by the
Montana Central company, which is to
prove Montana's deliverer from the pres
ent railroad monopoly. The third raid ar
rangement it considers too gauzy to be de-
Ueitfua, it being simply an arrangement to
maintain the present extortionate rates OF
transportation. After an extended ref
erence to the Montana Central the Free
Press says:
aBut there is still another link in the
chain and the strongest and longest one of
all The Manitoba road, OF which Mr..
Hill is president, is now built westward
beyond the DEVILS Lake of Dakota. The
company's intention is to push directly
west, parallel with the Northern Pacific
into Montana. It is even said that by July
the road will be at Fort Buford, at the
mouth of the Yellowstone, and in another
year will connect with the Montana Cen
, GIdt ClUESl d. Il OIb 0C4tOl Ok O1Cdb Il 1AIS.
Even at Buford it will connect with the
Missouri and Yellowstone water routes
and distinctly affect Montana traffic rates.
Mr.. Rill's investments at Great Falls, at
Sand Coulee and in the Montana Central
are thus explained; his Manitoba road is
to be the outlet for his Montana invest
ments, each assisting and cooperating
with the other, forming one system in
fact. At ST. Paul it will connect with the
Burlington & Quincy system, with AL the
various extensions, feeders and ramifica-
tions of that great company, which is on
the most intimate business relations with
the former road. The Manitoba is also on
friendly terms with the Canadian Pacific,
with which it connects at Winnipeg. In
addition the Manitoba contemplates a con-
nection from its main line in the Red
river valley eastward to Duluth, and sur
yeys to that end have already been made.
This is no visionary talk; the entire pro-
iect Just as we have outlined it will be
consummated just as surely as Montana is
the richest state or territory III the west
and the northwest is the grandest empire
under the sun. And it will be done
quickly"
This is all correct as far as it goes, but
Butte will not be required to wait for the
extension Of the Manitoba to secure an in
dependent outlet to the east. The Mon
tana Central will connect at Fort Benton
with the Calf branch Of the Canadian Pa
citic, and with the Missouri river, thus Sc
curing within twelve months, perhaps,
every advantage desired in advance of the
extension of the Manitoba from DEVILS
Lake to this city, distance Of many hum
dred miles. This road will extend its Dew
IFS Lake branch to Brandon, and thus rem
der the route much more direct. Arrange
ments to this effect have been made by the
Manitoba and Canadian Pacific.

Cheap Fre1ghts on the Canada Pacific.

VICTORIA, February 23.-The Canada
Pacific authorities have offered interior
farmers the exceptionally low rate of 81
per ton on all farm produce which they
may wish to ship to Port Moody from Sa-
vona, Ashcroft, Spence's Bridge and Iyt-
ton. They also offer the same rate on ore
shipped out for the purpose OF assay or
working. This would enable ore to be
placed in San Francisco at about $6.12 per
ton.

Boston Woo Market

Recent adyices from Boston show a de-
cline of about cent per pound on Mon
tana woods. The quotations are as fol-
lows: Fine 21@221Sc; medium, 24@25c.
Some fine Montana is being held at 25c,
but that is extreme. Il is safe to say that
there is no medium Montana in the. mar
ket and but few clips of fine which are be-
ing held for fair prices.

Head Cut.

This morning two walters at the
Windsor Hotel got into an alteration
and one of them got his head pretty
scvcly cut with glass tumbler. Each
is captain Of watch, and the man who
was cut was on watch with his force,
when the other one. named Monroe
Thomas, came into the dining room,
and the captain of the watch gave him
some orders. This was an insult to
the exalted dignity of Thomas, he him
self. being captain of a watch. Words
ensued and an alteration followed, in
which Thomas struck the captain with
tumbler, breaking it. lie then held
the bottom of the tumbler in his
hand and struck the captain again, in
nicting a wound in the forehead, just
where the hair commences, and an
other little behind this, further up
the head. DIR. Gill dressed the
wounds. cutting off the Hyperion
curls, the ambrosial locks of the cap
tain, stopped the bleeding, brought
the edges of the curls together, plas-
tered them and sent him Oh his way,
slightly disfigured but still in the ring
