a Breeding Centre OF Cat

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
Tansill, prominent citizen of Carls-
bad. recently returned from visit to
the north. His trip extended from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts and
included all the great business centres
of the country. Mr.. Tansill in an in
terview today gave the Impressions he
had derived from what hs had seen
and heard during his absence.
''The east" he said, sis just now en-
joying boom in its iron, steel aud
kindred industries. Business in those
lines is better than it ever has
been in times past, and the advance
certainly now appears to be of per-
manent character.
LAS to the wheat market, it appears
that since the strong support which
Jos. Letter gave it was withdrawn and
prices dropped the farmers Of the north
and northwest are looking with some
anxiety as to the outcome for the next
season."
Mr.. Tansill spoke OF the three sue
cessive years of trouble that had visit
ed the state of California. He said
MANY cattle men we're Obliged, in or
der to cave their herds from utter des-
truction, to pay out large sums for for
age obtained at fabulous prices and
then saved but few of their cattle.
The same conditions in modified de-
gree prevailed in the irrigated districts
of Colorado"
mining interests of all kinds" he
said "are prosperous. Old Mexico,
which until within the psstfew months,
comparatively speaking, has not been
regarded as Offering safe investment
for capital from the north, is now re-
ceiving an amount of American money
for working its mines that a year or
more ago would have been regarded in
the light of a great mining boom for
that country"
In conclusion Mr.. Tensill said that
