Curmudgeon was already kicking up his

As the result of bitter feud be-
tween sheepmen and cattlemen of
Montana, 1000 sheep. owned by
Daupt & Selway, were slaughtered
one morning last week by party of
raiders numbering eleven men. who
rode into the sheep camp. firing
their guns into the flock. The ami
mails that we're not killed by the shots
were driven in circles until they
were piled up and smothered. Hun
dreds were driven into coolies and
crowded into struggling masses,
where the raiders beat them to
death with clubs. The cattlemen
claim that their ranges are being en-
croached upon by the sheepmen, and
only in this way can they protect
their rights.

BETTER DAY FOR NEVADA.

The New Years edition Of the

replete with statistical information
not only concerning Utah, but of the
other Inter- Mountain States as we'll.
Nevada is given three columns Of

pared by ALI. Doten of Carson, and,
sll things considered, the people of
this State have reason to be proud
of the showing. Commenting edi-
torially on present conditions in Nee
vada the Tribune says:
Nevada is still dropping little,
nevertheless the dawn OF better
day for her is warming her sky. She
only needs better transportation ia

lation and make her products po.

thy. She is now one Of the great
sheep and wool States. She has
some of the most commanding stock
interests in the Union, and when at
last her mines generally are worked
she will be all right. She has pro-
duced the greatest mines in the
United States, and there are others
within her boundaries. Give her
rapid and cheap transportation, and

The Salt Lake Tribune contains the
following summary of the statement Of
the Rocco. Homestake mine for the
year 1900. which shows q remarkable
yield Of lead and silver:

which came upon the market stran-
ger from Nevada during the Fall and
that has since attained q place among
the dividend-payers, has just closed
q statement for the year 1900. in which
il is shown that the output durin
that period consisted of 2,2l1,2z
pounds OF lead, 1881 ounces Of silver,
while in the treasury at this time is
S25 900 without a dollar OF indebted
ness. The outlook for the property,
from which another dividend of "a. 500
will come on January 10, is most as
suring. There is exposed in the mine
at this time no less than five levels
that have not been molested so far as
stoping is concerned, while force OF
twelve men is constantly employed in
prospecting and developing new
ground. The metallic contents of the
ores thus far have been remarkably
uniform, the analysis showing from
10 to Is ounces OF silver and from 81
to 72 per cent lead, with an average,
according to bullion settlements Of
IA ounces silver and IS per cent lead.
For the past three seasons the output
has been going to Denver, where ores
Of this quality are very much in de-
mand. But little is being marketed
at the present time, however, owing
to bad wagon roads and the increased
cost Of transportation, although ac-
tive shipments will begin in the Spring.
Indeed, the production this Winter
will be confined to what is extracted
in development, and in the meantime
there is in sight ores with which to
maintain the present dividends for an
indefinite period"

lecture of what purports to be "all

in proof Of this it says: On the
basis of the domestic supply, the
foreign imports and the foreign
goods-estimating three pounds Of
xocl to each dollar in value of the
latter-the per capita consumption of
wool was estimated in 1890 at 9.07
greasy pounds as against S.52 in
1880. Assuming the clip of 1899 st

exports from the imports, a total Of
