Montana Cattle Movement.


 J. H. Landers, inspector of live stock at Minnesota Tranfer, Twin City Stock Yards and South St. Paul estimates that the run of Mon tana beeves for the coming season will reach 160,000 head.
 Inspector Landers' estimate is entitled to much consideration, as he has spent life time on the ranges and has kept track of the Montana cattle movement for sev- eral years in his present position. Early in 1891 he estimated that the run of that year would reach 200,- GOO head, and some we'll posted peo- pie thought the figure too high. The run of 1891 footed up 206,000 head, which at the low average of S35 each, resulted in sales to amount of S7,210,O00.
 Mr. Landers said: "The purchases of stock cattle made in Minnesota for shipment to the northwestern part of this state and to the Dako- tas and Montana have been much heavier this season than usual. They promise to keep up for some time. The rangemen are taking young steers mostly, thinking they are much safer to raise than she stock. Large shipments have been made from here to Dickinson, N,D., where small ranchmen as we'll as the large companies are increasing their herds. The shipments of horses to the Dakotas are very heavy this season, and numbered 5000 head during February, and a large addition in March. The de- mand is for good heavy horses, we'll broken and in condition for farm work" Paul Globe.

REPRESENTATIVE SToRER intro duced bill in the House last week providing for an international ratio between gold and silver, and to sus- pend the purchase of silver bullion from and after July 1, 1893. It diff fers from previous propositions in the same line by instructing the President to negotiate particularly with the States of the Latin Union on this subject, and when treaty is concluded with the Latin Union, with or without the concurrence of other nations, the ratio agreed upon is to go into effect in the United States. It is provided that if no agreement is reached by July 1, 1893, the operation of the present law relative to the purchase of sil- yer bullion is to be suspended.

THE Prospector is in a position to state authoritatively that W. J. Murphy and Gov. Irwin, protesting to represent the loan commission of Arizona, urged Mark Smith to support the gold clause Tn the fund ing bill as amended by the six teenth legislature, and that Mir. Smith advocated, with all his ener- gy, the gold clause, upon the state ment of Gov. Irwin and MT. Mur- phy that the bonds could not other wise be sold. These gentlemen will no doubt, substantiate this state ment, if called upon to do so. Mir. Cheyney should have saved his boomerang till the eve of election.

This morning d Mexican by the name of Vidal Martinez was stab bed in the neck by another Mexi- can by the name of Hilario Sanchez. Martinez was here year or two ago, but went to California and came back two weeks ago and his home is in Taos Go. N. M., Sanchez is about 21 years old, left town af- ter the killing and the officers are after him. It seems that a general row was aboard and that bad whis- ky was the predominating element. Judge Gibson summoned a jury to hold an inquest over the body: and the facts are that these two Mexi- cans had been fighting in the sa- loon on east Railroad avenue, and the saloon keeper put them out, and Sanchez returned to the saloon and staid there for an hour or more, but said nothing about Martinez. He passed through Old town this morn ing early and said he cut man in the neck and showed the knife with which he did the cutting. He said he was going to Ask Fork. The dead man was found this morning near the Mexican saloon by the pro- prietors. The jury returned this verdict: We the jury find from the evidence that Vidal Martinez came to his death by cut with knife in the hand of Hilario Sanchez Flagstaff Democrat,

Why Mutton Has Done So We'll.

We have heard wonder expressed that fat sheep have enjoyed so good an average market for long term of years as compared with other stock, and that season in which mutton making is not profitable is a rare exception, says the National Stockman, We think a leading req son for this is that a very large pro- portion of all the sheep going into consumption are marketed quite young. There are no data availa- ble to show what proportion go to the block at the age of one year or under; but it is a very large propor- ton, and one which is constantly increasing. A great percentage of the increase of fiocks from year to year is thus cut off from producing further increase. and goes at once into the food supplies of the coun- try. There is occasionally some thing of an increase in flock totals one year as compared with another, but this increase does not keep pace with the growth of population. An other influence probably affecting this somewhat is that while Ameri- cans have never been great con- sumers of mutton, the appetite for this has steadily grown since the tendency has been developed to market stock so young. Lamb is very largely preferred to mutton, and lamb has become staple mar ket article in many places where the flesh of sheep was hardly an item of consequence in market a half generation ago. For the req sons stated we have no uneasiness on the score of mutton production continuing to be reasonably profit able for years to come.

TIE El Trafieo of Guavmas. Mex.

THE Fl Trafco of Guaymas, Mex leo, says that an unknown plague is killing off the cattle along the bor- der, especially on the Elias range, in large numbers. It consists of a swelling of the head of the animal, in an extraordinary manner, which is succeeded bya general trembling or chill and in a short time after ward, death. The Prospector, says the Nogales Advertiser, learns from cattlemen along the river that the cattle are dying of the same dis ease, and that it is not the thinest cattle are going. It may be noth- ing but lack of necessary quality of feed, but it IS worth while for our sanitary commission to investigate.

Wm. .Ridenour, while doing a little work on his copper property north of Peach Springs opened up the vein to a somewhat greater depth than 1t had been before worked. His labors were rewarded by having his vein of ore change into a four foot lead of solid copper glance running 70 per cent. copper and 20 ounces silver. The ore is the most beauti- full as we'll as the richest copper ore we have ever seen in the county. MT. R. is a veteran prospector and every one will be glad to learn of his success. We learn that the pro- perty has been bonded to eastern parties for something over $10O, ,0OO. -Mohave Miner.

Grand Storage Reservoir.


 One of the best water storage res- eryoir propositions to be found in the United States, is s''Devil Cailon," in northern Arizona. It runs through a vast plateau emptying in to a great plane of millions of acres of rich alluvial land. This canon is about thirty miles long. In depth it is from 150 to $50 feet and the same in width. It is box canon for most of the distance, there are many places where it is not more than one hundred feet wide, where a dam could be built at minimum cost, as tie rock can be taken out of the canon for the same. A dozen or more of these dams could be con- structed at different points and canals run out on it's mesa lands thus retaining millions of acres of
 
 land to agriculture. The surprising fact, is that the land department of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad has not arranged to use this great nat ural storage reservoir to reclaim it's lands. It is the most practicable business proposition for capital that can be found anywhere, and it means much for northern Arizona, and the railroad company; the land in that section is the finest in the world for all kinds of agriculture products peculiar to northern climes.-Tuc- son Star.

THE Yuma Sentinel says that the latest scheme for getting water out of the Colorado without draining it is to tunnel through hill or noun tain side, which is the present plan and that recommended by the Eng fish irrigation engineers, then to bring the water down on both sides of the river, with an aqueduct across the Gila, so as to irrigate the 2,000,- 100000 acres of rich lands, lying adjacent to Yuma, in Arizona, Cal ifornia, Sonora and Lower Califor- mia.

He was a waiter at the Maison Dore when he committed the crime for which he was imprisoned.-Tucson Citizen.

Long and pointless essays cannot alter the one great fact that when the silver--producing states join hands with the South against the republican gold bug party free coin- age will be assured.
 But for the Democratic South there would be no free coinage is- sue today. The question would oc- casionally bob up in the hands of a representative from a silver -produc- ing state, but it would not have suf- ficient following to warrant debate.
 Despite the fact that the south makes free coinage an issue and that all the support received by the silver states comes from the Demo- cracy, the Rocky Mountain states have persisted in going Republican. So long as they continue in this course they can expect little sym pathy. If they will not support that party which is the friend of silver they surely cannot expect eastern Democrats to hazard political pros poets in their behalf.
 Itis proposition that permits of no debate, When the West, which persists in voting with the Republi- can gold-bugs, joins the south in electing Democratic presidents, New York will not command the situa- tion and free coinage will be grant ed promptly and without quali6ca- ton. Look at the situation without partisan prejudice and you must acknowledge the truth of these as- sertions. When will the West come to it's senses?-Butte Miner.

Samuel Hughes, who has been in this territory for over thirty-five
 years and who has been close ob- server of the weather and climatic changes here, says that the cold weather here Is not over yet, and that we are to have a cold snap somewhere between the 10th and 20th of May. After that We may look for good, square hot days to set in. This year he says has been rather an extraordinary one, and such come periodically and they never differ, and they have had sev- eral of them since he came here, and hence has grounds for his pre- dictions. Sometime during the month of June. or at the latest about the 24th of that month
 clouds will begin to gather on the Santa Rita mountains and from that on we may expect the summer rains. We will see,-Tucson Citizen
