if the depredations are not put a
stop to, the cattlemen will organize

Merejildo Grijalva, a Mexican
who is now attending court as in

had an experience which few can
claim. He was captured by the
Apaches in 1858, near the line Of

Capt. Watkins stated to the Sill

though at first denying that they
had been there, finally confessed
that both Watley and Dickinson
had come in afoot the night before
and obtained fresh horses.

It is now accepted as foregone
conclusion that the Atlantic & Pa

There is no question that the

industry, the matter having recent
ly been brought up in the United
States Senate, with what result re
mains to be seen.-Kansas City

Mr.. Henry Mallory, of the com
mission firm Of Mallory & Son, re-
turned recently from two months
absence in Texas. lie says that
State has seldom had such bright
promise of excellent crops as she
now has. The number of beef cat
tie she will turn off this season also
bids fair to exceed the total for any
previous year.-Breeders' Gazette.
If the fight of the National
Butchers Protective Association
against the Chicago beet ring is
pushed and the States generally
adopt laws requiring the inspection
of cattle on the hoof, which will be
followed by the revival of local
slaughtering plants, it will compel
long hauls of cattle, says an ex-
change. In such an event the many
improvements in stock cars will be
appreciated. Cattle can now be
shipped across the continent with
out change or delay for feeding or
watering purposes, and with min
imum of waste by shrinkage.
During the five years that it took
the Chicago ring to place the pro-
ducers and consumers of beef, as
well as the retail butchers, at its
mercy, conspiracy with the trunk
lines gave the ring a rebate of fif-
teen dollars on every car that was
shipped east. This great advan-
tage facilitated the supremacy of
the powerful monopoly and enabled
it to close the local slaughtering
plants of the country, giving it con-
troll of the trade. State inspection
on foot will revive local enterprise,
disarm an oppressive combination
and guarantee protection against
the sale of diseased meat.-Stock
Grower.
The special committee appointed
by the United States Senate to in
vestigate the operations of the Chi
cago combine are instructed to ex-
anime fully all questions touching
the meat product of the United
States, and especially as to the
transportation of beef and beef
cattle and the sale of the same in
the cattle markets, stock yards and
cities; and whether there exists or
has existed any combination of any
kind, either on the part of the Trunk
Line association or the Central
Traffic association, or on the part
of those engaged in buying and
shipping meat products, by reason
of which the prices Of beef and
beef cattle have been so controlled
or affected as to diminish the
prices paid the producer without
lessenlng the cost of meat to the
consumer.
For two years but little money

WOOL INTERESTS.
What Bradstreet's Says of the Eastern
Markets.

Markets.
New YORK, July 7.-Bradstreets says:
Operations in the new wool clip continue
light in all parts Of the country, in the in
terror because the eastern dealers are
generally unwilling to pay the prices that
are asked or to make the advances on
consignments that are desired, and on the
seaboard because the manufacturers are
not taking supplies in excess of their
nearby requirements. The prevailing
feeling is one of uncertainty. Shearing
has been pushed except in the more nor
thern latitudes. The condition of the
new clip is commonly reported to be
good. Representatives of the mills are
buying to some extent in the country. In
the eastern markets the purchases by
dealers so far this year are universally
said to be much smaller than year ago
at this time.
A large attendance continues at the
London sales, with free purchases on the
on the part Of domestic and continental
buyers alike. Prices are nominally un-
changed, but in some descriptions weak
er tendency is observed.
Small stocks are held at Boston, the
old supplies having been closed, out in
great measure while the receipts of the
new clip are slow. Buyers are ready
sellers at current values, while the manu-
facturers are taking supplies only in the
! band-to-mouth fashion. Fine fleeces are
dull throughout the list. There is some
activity in California wool Of this
years production, and Australian stock is
in fair request. The receipts since jan
uary are reported at 10000 bales of
domestic wool, as against 100000 bales to
date last year.
The sales of the week at Boston are
reported at 1,O6S,7OO pounds, as against
1,77O, 100 last week and 1,376,O00 in the
corresponding week a year ago.
At Philadelphia the demand for wool
has continued sluggish and unsatisfactory
but the market is steady under moderate
receipts and because dealers cannot du-
plicate supplies in the country to sell at
further concessions. In fact, it is diff
cult to bring woods forward to sell with
out loss at ruling quotations. The sales
for the week aggregate 45s,0OO pounds,
against 100000 pounds last week and 49s,-
900 pounds for the corresponding week
last year.

COAL FOR THE MILLIONS.
The opinion of Journalist ON Sand
Coulee Coal.

The Opinion of q Journalist ON Sand
Coulee Coal.
The first impression of visitor to the
Sand Coulee coal fields near Great Falls
is that the supply of coal is nearly mex
haustible. A superficial examination Of
the country in the course Of q days ride
confirms this impression. The main vein
Of coal ranges in the different places
where it has been opened from eight to
fourteen feet in thickness, and has a
slight dip toward the Missouri river,
slope just enough to afford excellent
drainage in the mines. The only places
where it crops out are where the Sand
Coulee and its ramifcations form deep
breaks in the undulating prairie that
sweeps up to the foot Of the Belt and
Highwood mountains. It is very easy to
suppose, therefore, and In fact there is
proof in many places, that vast body of
coal underlies this extensive plateau.
Two large entries have been driven into
the main vein, one of them (the Gibson 8
Vaughn mine) is in 800 feet, and has four
rooms started from the main entry. This
mine shows an apparently excellent
quality Of coal.
A great deal of the town supply for
some time past has come from this mine
and the quality is pronounced good by
those who have used it.
On the other side of the hill about one
mile from this mine is found what is
called the Company or Montana Central
mine. The main entry Of this mine is in
about 500 feet and there are IA rooms
started, some Of them quite large. A
thickness of IA feet is reached in this
mine and the facilities for mining could
hardly be surpassed. The railroad com
pany has a track laid to the mine from
Great Falls, distance Of 16 miles and the
grade and drainage are such that the coal
can be handled very economically.
One thing is certain that trip to these
coal. fields will dispel any idea that the
claim to Montana's producing coal
was not founded In fact, and that the
whole territory will not have to depend
on one scource of supply for its fuel. In
connection with the Clarke's Fork, the
Bozeman and other we'll known coal
| fields, the Sand Coulee mines will play
an important part in supplying railroads,
cities and settlers with constant never
failing supply. of cheap fuel.-Billings
