 900 frcm John Brodder of Visalia Cal, for tots of cattle, 700 head of which went through yesterday. Of these, 335 head were three-year-old steers and the balance COWS.
 In referring to the recent shipment of cattle made by the Aztec company from Holbrook, the Argus, of that little city, says that they expect to clear up all their cattle there next year It is rumored that they will put in sheep instead of cattle in the future
 Stockman: The subject of range leasing in northern Arizona does not seem nearly so important as the sub ject of grazing on the reserves By the grazing privilege being removed the flocks, to a large extent, will have to go. This means the cattlemen can stay. Hence both interests are now fully occupied with this more import aSt question
 Prescott Courier: l.. A. Willard, a prominent citizen of Verde valley, is in town for the first time during the past twelve months. He ras rented his ranch for two years, and now proposes to put in little time trying to utilize some of band of POO head of horses which he has now roaming the Mogollon mountains. He says that horsehesh is very cheap. but not cheap enough yet to protect it from thieves.
 Citizen: A. F. Donau, manager of the general merchandise store of the Ray mine, has spent several days in Tucson this week. While here he ar ranged to ship some cattle. Eight carloads are about ready to go for ward to supply the California market. MT. Donau says stock is keeping up in good condition and he feels no alarm as to the sufficiency of rain to make it good cattle year. There is plenty of time yet for the rain to come before becoming uneasy.
 Stockman: The sheep interests of northern Arizona are working day and night for revocation of the order for bidding grazing on the forest reserves. We cannot blame them for this be- cause they are vitally interested. :. Other interests are at work against them, and to us it seems certain that of the string. We occupy ground about midway between the beliefs of the opposition factions and can see the shells landing from both sides. There is medium ground in which the whole difference could be com promised were it not for the fact that each side mistrusts the other. Were it pot for this the solution of the diff. ficulty would be easy.
 Range News: The quarantiDing last week of 400 head of Mexican cat which Messrs. Searer & Coleman were importing into Arizona, will doubt less have the effect of checking im- portation for some time. The cattle were refused admission on account of the fact that there were ticks on some of them. This action is taken by the representative of the bureau of ani- nal industry, and no amount of kick ing or influence can change it. In view of this fact, it would be well for persons purchasing cattle in Mexico to insert d tick clause in their future
