duction Of beef. Tho object 10 to dis
solve the corporations in the said states

their assets. in exchange for the stock
Of the new Colorado corporation, the
Western Union beef company. A further
object is to dissolve aud wind mp the az.
fairs Of the American cattle trust, which
holds the stock Of the said different cor
porations. In Y word, the Western Uuion
beef company, 1t is intended, will take the
place practically OF all the different cor
porstions and also Of the American cattle
trust. Tho officers and stockholders Of
the American cattle trust and Of the said
corporations think the large proper
ties and business can be managed better
aud more economically by a single cor
poration, With it's headquarters ct Denver.
The property owned and managed by these
different companies, and indirectly by
the American cattle trust, is very
extensive and valuable. It consists Of
over 100000 acres Of decided land in
Texas, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mex
leo; also Of 3OO,O 900 acres Of leased state
and schoollands. Ranging upon this Co.,
QUO acres Of land and upon the public do
main In Colorado, Wyoming and elsewhere,
are upwards Of 100000 head OF cattle.
Over 10000 head Of cattle have been
purchased within the last two months.
The estimated brand Of the different
companies for the present year Is over
$25, 0GO, and the estimated beef output the
coming fall about $25, 900. The actual
value Of all this property 10 estimated ct
about IS, ONO, 900. A portion Of the stock
will be issued for the purpose Of sxchang-
ing it for the property Of all the said pres
ent co upanies, and . part reserved for the
purchase Of additional cattle and lands to
enlarge the business Of the company.
The companies which have thus been
merged into the Western Beef company are
the Nuecss Land and Cattle company, Of
Texas; the Fort Stockton Live Stock and
Land company. Of Texas; tho San Antonio
Ranch company, Of Texas; the Wilson
Live Stock company, OF Texas; the
Phoenix Farm and Ranch company, Of
New Mexico; the Brush Land and Cattle
company, Of Colorado; the North
American Cattle company, OF Wyoming;
and the Frontier Land and Cattle COM
pany Of Wyoming. The consolidation was
effected at . meeting Of the board OF
trustees OF the American cattle company,
held in New York May %, 1890. and is
virtually q reorganization and enlargement
of that organization, the essential change
being that there is but one corporation In
the new, whereas there were eight In the
old.
