zard-Sheep and Cattle Shipments.
Colonel o. o. Taylor, of St. Paul, who
has acquired title to number of valuable
Niger Hill tin claims, has decided to erect
mill and concentration, and has already
purchased a portion and contracted for the
remainder of the machinery. The colonel
also owns mill site, with water right and
plenty of good timber. He has had con-
siderable experience In tin mines and has
no hesitation in saying that the Niger

any country. This enterprise will be
watched with deep interest and its sue
cess will lead to the erection of other and

Reports from all over the range country
east of the summit of the Rocky mountains
indicate that the blizzard and snowstorm
of last Sunday, February s, was quite
severe and caused some losses. The storm
was most severe along the line of western
Dakota. Stock in all sections was in good
conditlon-strong and full of vigor, hence
the loss will be small and confined to ami
mails that happened to be SO situated that
they could not move before the storm
Northern New Mexico has suffered some,
the snowfall being deep and the weather
extremely cold. Heavy losses among sheep
are sure to result and some cattle will
perish. AS whole, however, the losses
for the winter will prove light and ranch

We are just getting our heads out of the
snow, after three-days' storm. 1t has
been the worst of the seasonal veritable
blizzard, of the bowling, cutting, whooping
variety. 1t began with high, cold wind
on Saturday, followed by snow and 10
below zero blast, which continued almost
without intermission until yesterday.
Snow is everywhere, though the range is
open in places so that stock are not wholly
without feed.-DOuqlds Budget.

A cold snap that was equipped for
business came bowling down from the north
