w. G. Land, an Arizona cattleman,
makes this statement to correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe Democrat: 81
have 10000 head of cattle on a range
near Tombstone. The business is pretty
poor this year, in fact, there has been no
money in it for quite while, the trouble
being the over.supply of all American
markets. Things are looking up little
now. Prices have gone up 81 head in
the last twelve months and for next year
the outlook is better. This improvement
is due to the fact that the cattlemen have
by sort of tact combination, killed off
large numbers Of breeding cows and
thousands of calves. At Kansas City
the shipments have been composed of
cows to greater extent than ever before,
The same thing is true of most of the
other Markets of the United States.
The discovery has been announced of
an enormous cavern in Josephine county,
Oregon, about twelve miles north of the
California line and about forty miles
from the coast. There were two open
ings in the cave, which looked like small
assures in great limestone bluff. The
limestone extends for miles and ex-
ternally appears massive and solid, but
is honeycombed with cracks and crevices
which extend for miles without any APP
parent order or system, Many of the
passages within the cave are described
as of great beauty, containing semi.
transparent stalactites, giant milk-white
pillars, and pools and streams of pure
scar water. Several miles from the en-.
trance small lake of clear water and
waterfall 80 #. in height were discovered.
The only sign of any animal life was
found short distance from the entrance,
where few bones indicated that bears
had used it sorto lair, carrying their prey
there. ltwas estimated that the main
body of the cave, which is undoubtedly
of vast extent, was 1900 #. from the
surface of the mountain.
