KANSAS GOLD FIELDS.
Charles X. Holiday Says
Shale Produces Yellow
Metal in Paying Guam
titles.

Charles X. Holiday has returned
from Florence, Colorado, where he
took car load of Kansas shale from
Trego county to the mill.
'My runs ran from to 25 per cent
in zinc and from $40 to s32 in gold and
three ounces silver to the ton," said
Mr.. Holiday. 1.-The car of shale was
taken to the Cripple Creek Beam
Milling company at Florence, Colo.
The reason it was taken there is that
the Beam process is the coming pro-
cess of the United States on account
Of being able to convert low grade
ores and especially ones containing
zinc. English experts were there to
buy the process for Candada and Aus
tralia. They ran through 1000 pounds
of Kansas shale and were SO pleased
with the result that they took all the
concentrates back to England with
them and the next thing will be a
flood of Englishmen In western Kan
SaS.
when we first started running
Kansas ore 1t was run over the plates
like Cripple Creek ore is but there
was SO much zinc that it piled up
inches high and ran the water of on
to the floor, SO that process had to be
abandoned.
"We then put i'm a system of leech-
ing vats, took off the zinc in solution
and the recovery of gold from the
pulp was then as easy as recovery of
gold from any ore. Mr.. S. S. OFT was
out there while the Kansas ore was
being run and panned free gold out of
the ore after it was roasted. He saw
zinc precipitated and expressed him
self as well pleased.
''One syndicate headed by Mr.. OFT,
controls and owns $50 sections in Ire
go and Ellis counties, The next larg-
est syndicate is the one Col. G. X.
Holiday is interested in controlling
$4,000 acres, the Veale syndicate, Of
which George w. Veale is manager,
controls about 10. 900 acres. Different
parties have bought land and now
nearly all of Trego and Ellis is taken
up in mining land.''
When Mr.. Holiday took his car to
Florence he was the laughing stock of
all who knew about it, but now he
says Colorado people are ready to in

Prophecy of a Kansas cattl.man.


George Theis, president of the Bank
of Ashland, Kansas, was in the city
yesterday on his way to Colorado. Mr..
Theis usually handles from 10000 to
1000 head of cattle every year. his
operation being confined mainly to
shipping in herds from Arizonn and
New Mexico and selling them to
growers in smaller lots for fattening
on the ranges.
MIR. Theis has probably shipped
more cattle into Kansas than anv
man now living in the state, having
in the last twelve years brought in
300, 900 head of cattle to the value of
more than S5,OOO,OOO. He thinks the
ranges in Kansas will grow smaller as
people come in and contest for lands,
and that in a few years western Kan
sas will be a country of fairly well set
tied communities Wichita Eagle.

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS,
July II, 1899.
The cattle market has been little
unsettled this week on account OF the
strike at the SchwarzcbHd s. Sulzber-
ger Packing Plant and this company
has not been in the market all the
time. The best dry lot cattle, how
ever, are selling at goOdstrong prices,
the top ranging from $40 to So, and
we think this grade will hold up well
throughout the summer, as there GER
tainly is not an over supply of them
The receipts of grass cattle are
quite liberal, and Western that have
had short feed on the grass are sell
ing at disappointing prices.
Butcher stuff is not in as active de-
mand as it was week ago and is
quotably 25c per cwt. lower. While
the receipts of stockers and feeders
are not heavy, the demand for them
has been poor for the past fifteen
days, and unless we have more buyers
visit the market are afraid they will
decline some further.
Hog receipts have been light for
the past week and the market has had
good strong advance, and il receipts
continue moderate we look for prices
to hold up fairly well throughout the
month. Our market has been about
as high as Chicago for the past two
or three weeks; the top of the market
here the first of the week was 81 25-
Good packing hogs sold at "a. Is to 20.
good light hogs at a. 10 to l5and good

to any movements of Importance. Thus
far, however, nothing has come from
the consuls to indicate that any of the
movements were more than local and
trifling. All of the advices show there
has been nothing in the way of gen
eral organization. AS is usually the
case in times of war, the British Off
cials receive many letters Offering to
disclose secret movements or to sell
balloons, explosives and various other
novel war inventions. Eut as most of
these are anonymous they receive no
attention.
