A Topeka firm has been buying mules
to supply the Cuban market for several
weeks. and at least six ear loads nave

no further connection with the matter
The question of Cuban Independence

somewhat definite proportions.
Whatever is being done is being done
with the grea test secrecy. 1T is all rlgnt

knew anything of a definite movement

From the Anaconda Standard: y

owners of the largest herd OF buffalo in
the country, and no man living has

patient study and attention than he.

by the next fall there will be full 200

the meat is sweet and wholesome We
are procuring as many of these animals
| as possible, but will not put any on the
market for several years yet. We are
not selling any buffalo at present. We
receive letters every day from mU
seumS, parks and shows, wanting them
in all quantities. and though we might
dispose of one or two singly, we have
no pairs to sell. A buffalo hide is worth
500 now in the market, and heads
bring from $500 to $500 when mounted,
and the value of these is steadily in
creasing, so that buffalo breeding is as
good an investment as real estate Our
herd is the only one / know about of
any size. There is small one in the
Texas panhandle, and these, with the
few that roam in the National park, are
the sole remnants of the thousands
which roamed the prairies but a few
years ago."
