 A Phoenix stockman says that Ari
 zona cattlemen are buying large num- bers of Sonora cattle and will put them on ranges in this territory. So-
 nora stock is cheap and can be bought at prices ranging from sl0 to Sl5 per | head but the cattle are small, being | known as "all hoOfS and horns. "The stock there is inbred receiving gener-
 ally about as much care as the h. l dianS devote to thelr animals. The | Republican says that by breeding
 with good blooded stock, however. it
 is believed by some cattlemen that
 fairly large marketable offspring may
 result.
 About two car loads of wool is the
 present daily average shipment from Phoenix over the $. F., P. X P. for eastern markets. The clip in the
 valley this year will amount to about
 l,OO0,0OO pounds, about 20 percent larger than last year. The price for wool, however, is not as good this year as last, which will make the net pro ceeds about the same. The cause for
 the decrease in the price is said to be
 the lack of demand for wool in the eastern markets, there being larger comparative consumption of cotton
 than heretofore. Prescott Journal Miner.
 The capitol building at Phoenix stands on plat of ten acres of ground donated to the territory by the citi- zens of Phoenix. The same amount of land was donated to the territory for prison purposes by the city of Yuma. Now fully one-half of this prison land has not been utilized: it is still there. and is likely to stay, as it is mostly solid rock. The government also do- mated a little slice of 2000 acres, ad- joining the grounds occupied by the prison, from which the conyictS have cut thousands of dollars worth of wood The prisoners need not die rum ennui; there is plenty of wood yet to amputate; and when the land is cleared, the cons can go to raising crops.
