~ THE sIoUK MARKET.
X Local Cattle Buyer Gives
Some Statements II Regard =
to the Market.

A lt,cal cattle buyer. WHO has been
shipping cattle from all section" OF
Morrison county to the south st.
Paul market during the last two
years gives some statement" ~ the
preseht condition Of the market ~
compared with this time last year
Cattle of all kinds, he SAYS. are IN
good demand, wit, cht'tce beef steers
from taree-fourths to ] cent higher
per pound than last year. ana NOT
enough Icing shipped in to supply
the denaad. sChoire corn lied steers
have bee,, sold as high 49, a . per
huuAre.l ~ eight In the last few days.
Nearly all the cattle shipped from
here 10 to the South st. Paul mar
ket, where there is constantly 4
large numb r Of buyers. At pressnt
the; list IL larger than usual, there
being buyers from Iowa, Missouri,
Montana and Chicago. Stockers and
feede RI art. in good demand. The
Montana buyers are looking more
for steers from one to two years ola
to ship to the ranges, und the Iowa
and Missouri buyers ship the cattle
To the farms to be either turned out
to pasture or fat tened with corn and
other feed. YearIings and twO-year~
olds are from 81 to - higher per
head this year than last. YearlinRs
will average over $40 and twO-yrar'
ODDS SIS.
Hogs are also in better demand
now than for some time. Although
II decline ui q cents per cwt. has
occurred during the past two weeks.
prices dre still 10 cents per cwt.
higher than last seuHOn.
The dealer referred to furtherstates
that Morrison county Is now pretty
well cleared OF all kinds Of stock,
and deplores the fact for the reason
that prices are 50 gOO'l There are
now several men engaged In buying
stock in this locality, and large ship
n,ente have been nude recently.
Speaking about stock raising he
stated that he knew Of no county In
the state which. In his opinion. was
more favorable to ca tie raising than
Morrison county, and he thinks
there il ON reason why local dealers
should ship beef In from other points.
The fact that they do 80 IL due, In
his opinion. to the poor judgment
shown by some Oi our farmers. He
gives Il sample of what he considers
poor Judgment in the sale Mt bunch
III about twenty hogs by u promi-
nent farmer about three weeks ago.
The hogs only weighed about ninety
pounds, on IN verage, and although
the market price was then very good
they did not bring more than one
haif what they would If kept two
longer. The expense of
Keeping them would have been al
most nothing, as the winter was
over and they could have been turned
out to find their own livelihood. In
two or three months they would
have doubled in weight. and the
gain would have been all profit to
the farmer, as their feed would cost
him nothing.
There Ia but little doubt that stock
raising can be made successful In
Morrison county II tue farmers
would give it. the study and work
they do other branches. for the
natural resources are certainly
better than in many localities where
1t is one of the chief industries.

cry and the defense by Will B. Ogden
and H. P. Gamble. The prosecution set
out to establish that the accused had
stolen a horse from Alfred Anderson at
Erie on July %, and having ridden it to
Denver turned it loose and proceeded on
TO Breckenridge, where he was appre-
hended. The defense admitted the TAX
ing of the horse but contended that it

also brought out that the accused was
drunk at the time and having previously

JjmtOwn Awakening,

Tlmtown, an extensive mining camp
that has been sleeping for several years
past, is now awakening. Of late there
has been some little prospecting going
OIL, and some few mines have been
opened up, and large bodies of ore have
been found, says the Denver News.
Some of the ores found were of high
grade and some Of them low grade, but
in such abundance that all will pay.
The low grade is from $40 to $50 per
ton, and the high grade from 500 to
several thousands of dollars per ton.
Some ore has been found running from
$40 per pound up to $50 per pound.
Prof. Names has lately visited and ex-
amined the mines IN the Jimtown basin,
and SAYS that in all his travels he has
never seen a finer location for an exten.
sive mining camp than the range of
mountains around the city of Jimtown
which form complete basin. The
mines that are opened up above the city
of Jmtown have fine roads running tc
them, and also to the new smelter now
being erected in the valley.
A railroad was graded up from Boul'
der some years back, as far as the juno
ton of Left Hand and Jim creek, but foi
some reason was not completed, but m ay
be in the near future, as the grade sill,
stands good for many miles, and the cos
of completing it would not be very large
At present there is good county road
for hauling ore to Boulder.
The following is a list of gold mine:

ducing, three miles northeast of town
Smuggler, four miles north of town; Pint
