A. G. Anderson. a prominent cattle
man of Colorado City. Texas. is at the
/ Pierson. Mr.. Anderson is here to see
the cattle exhibition and mingle with
the cattlemen of Mexico. New Mexico
and Arizona.
w. F. Holden of Philadelphia is at
the Sheldon. Mr.. Holden has just re-
turned from a trip to San Francisco
and makes all manner of fun of the
Texas quarantine against Frisco
when I bought a ticket to FL Paso.'
said Mr. Holden the doctor was not
in. A clerk asked me if I had been in
Chinatown and just to see what he
would do about it / said l had been
there. He said no more but wrote out
my certificate. One would think that
going to Chinatown was one of the re-
quirements to get certificate. The
people in San Francisco who do not
travel into Texas really have forgotten
the bubOnic plague scare and think
nothing of it whatever. There has
never been bubonic plague in San
Francisco according to the best ex-
perts who have examined numerous
cases among Cinnamon. They say
that the Cinnamon have peculiar dis
ease, the germs in which are nearly
like bubonic germs, but it is a harm
less disease except among the China
men where it breeds all the time. The
Texas quarantine is a fake and some
plan should be arranged to prevent
its interfering with the travelling pub
lie
There has been an enormous change
in the cattle business in west Texas
and Mexico during the past few years."
said William Humphrey of Nebraska.
at the Sheldon. Until the last few
years it was useless to talk to a Texas
cattleman about buying thoroughbred
cattle at fancy prices for he thought
the old long horn could not be beat.
1t is different now. however, and al
most all the leading cattle men in
Texas want the best cattle they can
get. They think nothing of paying
from $500 to $500 for a bull and in
many cases have paid twice that
amount. Mexico is now waking up
and the largest ranchmen in that
country will be in the market lively
after a while
r. NJ. Dudley of Chihuahua is at the
Sheldon with his wife. They are here
to attend the Carnival and will remain
here about week. Mr.. Dudley is one
of the leading mining men of Chihua-
hua and was one of the builders of the
Chihuahua and Pacific railroad. 1.-The
conditions of the mining interests of
Chihuahua were never better than
now" said Mr.. Dudley. land hundreds
of miners are now beginning to realize
on their property after years of hard
work and no money. East of Chihua-
hua mines are now being opened uD
that have never yielded anything and
If railroad ever builds into that sec
ton it will be the best country in the |
state. The mines there are mostly low
grade stuff but the quantity is there |
and high grade ore will probably be +,
found when they go deep enough. The |
of money is affecting miners
some but so lar no development work |
has been suspended" Mr.. Dudley says |
that all Chihuahua is coming to the |
Carnival and special train will likely |
be run on the 18th.
r. Anderson. his wife and five chill |
rem are at the Sheldon from Chihua-
