". H. H. Llewellyn, the almost omnipresent live stock agent of the Santa Fe railroad. spent a couple of days in Silver City last week. In conversation with Southwest Sen tinel reporter, Mir. Llewellyn said that 15,000 head of cattle will be shipped out of Grant county, from Silver City and Deming within the next thirty days. The shipments of cattle from the southwest will be even greater this season than they were last; the season commenced earlier, the company has more roll ing stock available for this trade, the corn crop in Kansas and Ne braska is now pretty thoroughly as- sured for the season and promises to be good one, consequently cat tle feeders in those states are now buying strongly, and prices are ranging a shade higher than they did last year All this, together with abundant rains, good grass season, and a large calf crop down here, promises a season of unusual prosperity for the southwestern cat tie raiSerS.

The numerous fires Tn the neigh b0rhood of Bremen's mill were un- questionably the work of an incen- diary. Thursday the first blaze oc- cured near Hinzman's wood camp, which was extinguished through the laborious efforts of Hinzman's em- ployes and a gang of Bremen's road men. At dusk, the same day, an other fire was started about one and a half miles southwest of the mill, which required the efforts of the Wilkins gang until midnight to arrest. At daylight yesterday morn ing the frebug again illuminated the surroundings between the mill and Pascoe's camp. Not satisfied with the result of his previous eff forts, another blaze was started, which required the earnest endeay- or of all the men on that section of the mountain to subdue. Our in formation at s p. m, yesterday from the Finals was that men were watch ing and hoped to catch the prowler and in the event of success it was proposed to furnished fresh meat to the buzzards.-Silver Belt.

COMPLAINTS and rumors of the
 reckless, not to say criminal man.
 ner, in which certain parties have
 used their branding-iron during the
 past winter, are thick as grass-hop-
 pers were in Kansas a few years
 ago. As every one knows, there
 was heavy loss of she cattle dur
 ing the winter months. A few par
 ties took advantage of this, and
 hired men to ride the range and
 brand everything they came across
 which were following mothers that
 looked as if they would die before
 the spring roundup commenced.
 As is usual in such cases, avarice
 got the better of their judgment,
 and a great many COWS pulled
 through that it was thought would
 die, and shows too plainly what had
 been done by these parties. When
 forty-nine fresh branded yearlings,
 twenty-two of which number are following mothers in various other
 brands, are found in the heart of range, on which there are almost no cattle in the complained of brand running, 1t looks more than suspi- cious-it has all the appearance Of criminality. Another thing which makes this indiscriminate branding look bad, is the fact, that the man who owns it, is not in the habit of employing men during the winter. but the past season had two men, paying one, at least, s per head for everything he would brand, and this man was caught in the act of branding another mans calf and made to counter brand on the spot. The clip off the ear, which he pre- served, serving as his voucher for the work performed, Calves follow ing cows in the Twenty-four, co, Long H, Triangle, OH Triangle, X, OU, Wine-cup, and we don't how many other brands have been i found this spring, with the Cross F brand on, which shows most con- clusively, to any fair-minded, un- prejudiced mind, that gain was the sole object. He counted on the in clemency of the weather and the poor condition of COWS having calves following them, to cover up his work, and was too reckless. One of the men who has been engaged in this crooked work, offered to pay the damage done the co brand, but was told that it was a matter for the grand jury to investigate.
 When all the facts are brought 10 light in regard to this matter, it will have an exceedingly ugly appear ance. Stories which are being cir culated by the person owning the brand and his friends, that he is ''too sensible to brand calves four and five months old in such a reck- less manner, and that it must have been the work of some enemy, for the purpose of involving him in !" is too thin and gauzy for even the most credulous to take any stock in. The evidence of crimi- nality is too wide spread for such a plea to have any weight. Not one man in ten thousand would take pack horse and camp out night al. .er night, in all kinds of weather for such a purpose. Had 1t been lone by any one tor that object, he would have selected half a dozen good strong COWS, which he knew would live till spring, done his work md quit, and not have devoted weeks and months to the task, which must have been done from the num- per which have been found brand ,d-experienced cowmen placing 1t 1t from POO to 250 head. ..

out further into space than do the
forces from other parts of these bodies,
and therefore the eeuators are fed by a
more extensive field than other parts. But
perhaps the greatest cause of accommodations
at the equators comes from the greater
vegetable growths and in the seas by the
greater coral growths. In tropical climates
a large proportion of plant life belongs to
the thick-leaved species, and our botanists
tell us that the substance Of their growth
comes from the air. 1 would express
1t differently and say that il comes
from the condensations of electricity
and the ETHEREAL elements carried to the
plants by the electric currents. In either
case the substance of the growth of these
thick leaved plants does not come from the
earth but is annually added to the earth in
great quantities. There are many tropical
plants of very considerable bulk whose
roots never touch the earth but feed wholly
on the air and of course the substance OF
these is added to the earth. The waters
of the oceans are caused to bulge at the
equators by the rotation of the earth and
are inclined to carry substances toward the
equator rather than away from it. From
the same cause water on level ground will
run toward the equator and if the waters of
the oceans should fail back to q level very
large portion Of the. land in the Northern
and Southern hemispheres would be sub
merged. Thus we can readily account for
the fiattening of the poles.

The laws governing the weather have al

It is my own opinion that the inclemency

Governor HOgg, in that he IS opposed 10 the

that it is false. He is Il man who could not
