STATISTICS.


Secretary J. A. La Rue's report of
the cattle sanitary board of New Mex
leo for 1900 shows that during the year
100, 126 head of mostly steer cattle were
sold and removed from the territory,
and 1865 stock cattle were brought in,
1884 hides were inspected. not more
than half the number accounted for a
few years ago. The number of strays
taken possession of by inspectors of the
board and sold for the account of their
owners is becoming less every year. the
total in 1900 being only fifty-seven.
thirty of which have been already paid
for. The brands on the others not be-
ing clearly identified will appear in the
stray list in course of publication. The
special levy for 1901 is ~ mills on the
assessed value of cattle-One mill less
than the levy asked for 1900.
IMPORTANT ORE STRIKE.

is considerable excitement in the camp

A smooth individual. claiming to be

WILL BECOME UNINTERESTING.
An Arizona paper says that steer
tying contests are becoming so num-
circus in the territory that when steer
sees a man coming with a rope he lays
down on his back and sticks his feet up
in the air, ready to be tied. They nave
learned from experience that there is
no use to run and it is only wear and
tear on their systems to do so. The
refusal of the bovines to enter into
the spirit of the spirit of the sport mas
taken away the interest in the contests
and they will probably be abandoned as
tame and uninteresting. However a
few uninitiated steers will be hunted
up in order to have a tying contest at
Phoenix as a feature of the entertain
ment of President Mckinley when he
visits that city.
A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
Hazen Rich. a motorman. was the
victim of a painful accident near the
capitol grounds on Sunday night; Inc
new trolley wire at the turn OF the
street was in need of adjustment at
point directly above the trolley. He
tied the trolley down and by means OF
a ladded mounted to the wire. The
rope gave way and the suddenly re-
leased trolley struck the motorman IN
the mouth knocking out a couple OF
teeth and infiicting other minor in
juries-Phoenix Republican.

An Arizona legislator is tickling his

HEALTH OFFICERS DUTIES
ARE FAR FROM PLEASANT


Officers of the Health Department
are alarmed over conditions which ox-
ist because Of the presence OF smallpox
in this city.
In every instance where cases are
reported the officers are required to
keep "a watch on tho houses beth day
and night and quarantine the
inmates. Provisions are furnished
through the health officers In order to
prevent a spread of the disease.
The danger of contracting smallpox
lis when the patient is recovering or
oven after he has been pronounced
well. Then IL is that health officers
arc required 10 so into the house and
fumigate 1t. The men enter in their
ordinary street clothing and after hav-
ing performed their duty they return
10 the Board of Health office. There
they come in contact with many per-
sons any OF whom are liable to be inoc-
ulated. as well as those they meet along
the streets.
In Philadelphia and other large cities
tine Board Of Health provides
rubber coats. hats and gloves
for the health officers who
upon entering houses for fumigating
purposes don the clothing. AS soon
as their work is finished these clothes
are taken off. thrown into pest wagon
and thoroughly fumigated before they
are again used.
BY this method the officers may ap-
pear on the strees in their ordinary
clothing without danger of inoculating
anyone IL is probable that in view OF
possible outbreak Of the disease in
this city officials of the Health Depart
ment may demand that the Board Of
Health provide similar costumes for
them.
