by, lis overcareful about many things, but
in many ways be shows great common sense.
For instance: He always carries with him
postal cards appropriately addressed, and if
he is suddenly called away anywhere
his business is such that he is liable to be
at any time-he. puts word or two on one
of his postal cards and puts it in the nearest
letter box. He may not have time to stop
and write or to telegraph, but he can al
ways find time to drop this postal card; and
it relieves the minds Of the folks at home.

WILD HORSES OF ARIZONA
Cnttlemen Find Them TPOublesOmc-
Drive Stock from the Range.

Drive Stock from the Range.
. Wild ponies are becoming trouble
some in northern Arizona. In Navajo
county the reservation Indians are sell
ing horses to butchers, who use the flesh
for fattening hogs Their number is
constantly increasing, and they are be-
coming a menace to the cattle range.
Sheep and cattle owners are looking
about for some means of relief, and it
is not unlikely they will organize
series of grand round-ups, wherein the
wild horses will be gathered, only to be-
shot
''There must be 10000 head of wild
horses in northern Arizona," said Will
s. Barnes, one of the largest cattle own
ers in Navajo county, the other day.
They are the worst nuisance that can
be imagined. It has reached the point
when we cannot safely turn out riding
horse to Craze. We have to keep our
saddle animals and roundup horses
stabbed all winter or bring them down
to Phoenix for pasturage. The viii
stock, not only eats the food that ought
to go to the cattle, but they run cattle
off the range. They have chased off all
the cattle from the west end of the Hash
Knife range, ONE of the best grass dis
tr;cts in northeast Arizona. 1t is use
less to put out salt for the stock, for the
wild horses chase away all the cattle
that come near it. At this season of the
year they are fat and have shining hides.
They sweep over the country in great
bands, gathering up any stray animals
they may come across. A horse is as
good as lost that joins them.
''Some of these wild horses are of
good stock. Not long ago the ponies
were the very best in northern Arizona.
They were fine saddle animals and their
value corresponded. Now there must
be over 5000 of these ponies running
wild and without a brand. On the
Puerco, in central Apache county, there
must be 5000 head of loose bronchos and
about the same number are on the Nava
10 reservation, the property of the In
dams, who do not seem to know what
to do with them.
"Some of the Indians are getting
quite a revenue from the fat ponies.
which they sell to a Holbrook butcher
for three dollars head. What does the
butcher want with them? He is fatten-
ing hogs on them. Three dollars is the
ruling price for wild horses would
like to sell a great many off my range
at that price, and some of them are verv
we'll bred and would make valuable
horses If broken. The only time when
it is possible to capture any of the wild
stock is in the early spring before the
grass has come and when the ponies are
lean and weak. Then on the Esperanza
range four light men are mounted on
horses especially trained and of speed
and bottom. The wild horses are started
just after they have drank and bunch
OF the animals is cut off from the main
herd and corraled. Sometimes it is nee
essary to shoot the lead mares, for the
females always head the wild bunch"
MIR. Barnes is & member OF the live
stock board of Arizona, and will lay the
matter before that body with a view to
having the northern ranges cleared of
their equine pests.-St. Louis Globe

THE STURGEON.
Some of the Points of Singularity
About the Fish.

The sturgeon is naturally an inhabi-
tant of the large rivers and brackish
water of the north temperate zone, more
particularly of Europe and America.
The Sacramento the San Joaquin, Rus
sian river and the Columbia on the west
and the Hudson and Delaware on the
cast are very favorable to its produc
ton in great quantities.
The Importance of the fishery to San
Francisco is shown by the amount
brought into the market, in the first
three months of last year, being 49,
761 pounds.
This interesting and curious fish has
many points of singularity. Its armed
exterior skeleton seems to point to its
being one of the few descendants of the
ganoid or armor-plated fishes of the pre-
historic ages. The position of the
mouth is much the same as in the shark
family, but its form and function is
rather that of the remora, or sucker
family. The flesh, too, is remarkable
as being reddish and yellow and part
white. English fshmongers call it
"beef and veal.' In that country it
is usually cooked by baking with a
stuffing of fine herbs.
There are several varieties of the
sturgeon family, the sturgeon proper
(accipenser sturio), the beluga and the
sterlet being the principal, the two lat
ter kinds belonging to the Russian
waters.
Some 25 years ago there were mil
lions of surgeons in San Francisco bay
and tributary waters, principally in the
mouths of the Sacramento and San Joa
quin rivers, where they lay on the mud
dy bottom feeding on CLANS and bottom
fishes The Chinese, who have an in
ordinate fondness for gelatinous sub
stances, such as isinglass, sea swallow
nests, trepang, etc, imported from
China very deadly hook for capturing
the sturgeon, which they caught solely
for the marrow in its peculiar back
bone. They stripped out the backbone
and threw away the rest. Some of the
backbones We're sent to China, where
isinglass is made from them and also
highly tenacious glue. The principal
use, however, is for making gelatinous
soup.@San Francisco Chronicle.
