TO SHUT OUT BEEF

WILD REPORT FROM CHICAGO

HOWEVER.

would Be a severe Blow to Ameri-
can Producers and Packers-GFeat
Britain Takes $4O,OOO,OOO of Live
Stock, $2OO,OOO,OO0 of Meat Prod
ucts AnnunlIy-Army Action would
Arouse Prejudice-New Orleans In
cident May BE Responsible.
Washington, April 1.-THE Department
of Agriculture has received a dispatch
from a prominent packing company OF
Chicago. announcing that they have just
been advised that the English govern
ment has excluded all beef, except home
bred, from the British army contracts.
This, 1t is stated. is to be effective June
/ next.
The Chicago concern has asked the ag-
ricultural department for any assistance
it can render. 1t has pointed out that
the action of the British government is
a severe blow to American beef and cat
tie exporters and producers and means
not alone the loss in government trade,
but it is feared ii will serve very ma
teriaiIy toward melting a prejudice on
the part of the people of Great Britain
against the beef and cattle of this coun-
try No official information of this re-
ported contemplated move has reached
the department, according to statements
of officials this afternoon. Steps have
been taken, however, looking to acquiring
whatever information it is possible to
get.
To demonstrate the importance of the
move now said to be contemplated, 1t Is
pointed out that the value of our exports
of live animals TO Great Britain amounts
to $40 600 CO.,, while the total of animal
products exported from the United States
to Great Britain is stated TO be, in round
numbers, $500, 100000. 1t is pointed out
here that this proposed embargo may
really be a sequel, in greater or less de-
gree. to the proceedings instituted at New
Orleans against shipments of horses and
mules from that port for use in the South
African campaign. While this is, of
course, merely conjectural, it is very
strongly limited that the New Orleans III
cident probably is the direct inspiration
for the step. II is pointed out that If
the English government really decided TO
take the action reported in the advices
just received, the British might turn to
Australia for their meats. 1t is claimed
however, that meats cannot be gotten
there in as good a quality or as cheap
as in the United States.

CUDAHY NOT WORRIED.
British Army Order VIII Not Affect
American Trade, He Says.

American trade, tie says.
Omaha, Neb.. April He. A. Cudahy,
head of the packing house interests of the
Cudahy Packing Company, was asked to-
night what he anticipated would be the
effect of the decision of the British gov
eminent to refrain from the use of Ameri-
can meats by that government. He said
he thought the result would not be Sc
rious He understands that the restric-
ton affects the home government alone
and not the colonies. He does not think
the people of Great Britain will be infiu-
enced by the action of the government as
American meats are accepted by the
British without question and he does not
anticipate any damage to American trade.
American packers, he said, furnished
about 100000 pounds of fresh beef weekly
to the English trade, of which but small
portion goes to the army and navy, and
he does not believe the supply can be Sc
cured from other than American sources.

cs AND DEVOTED TO THE MINERAL AGRICULTURAL STOCK AND
too small to determine the extent of

too small to determine the extent oil
the ore on any OF the claims, but the
presence OF the ore on so long a
continuous line confirms the ilcn oi
the prospectur that the conditions
are favorable for large bodies at other
points than those already opened up.
Going south from the Gilt Edge
mine ore has been discovered on near
ly every location on the same clcva-
tion between that mine and theprop-
critics OF \. s. Wright 4 Co. in Cave
gulch, about two miles distant.
There is II slight difference In the ap-
pearance OF the ores in the vicinity uf
Cave gulch and those Of the Gilt Edge,
but they are allsedimcntary deposits
and cyanide ores just the same.
The Cave gulch properties are re-
ported to be showing up more exten-
sive bodies OF ore as development
progresses and the Greas Northern
Mining and Development company
have veritable mountain of ore ufa
good grade exposed In their mines.
Ii would not be over estimating the
ore reserve OF this company To say
that they have blocked out ready for
extraction ore enough tosupply their
lj0.ton mill for ten years.
Ii would scarcely be reasonable to
suppose that the ore all along the
line OF these deposits occurs in such
immense deposits as arenow exposed
In the places mentioned above, but it
would not be takinga too optimistic
view to say that tsome mepoints there
are ample Indications of the existence
OF deposits that when opened up will
eventually take first rank among the
mineral producers Of the county.
The outlook for the continued
growth and prosperity Of the Gilt
Edge country is brighter now than
ever before since the birth Of that
camp. A feeling Of security prevails
among not only the miners and la.
borers employed there, but the COM
panies operating In that district are
on a sure foundation, as the mines
are more than paying the expenses
incurred in working them. Scarcely
n week passcs now without n dis
covcry of some Importance being
made and 1t il indisputably only II
question pf two or three years when
the gold output of Fergus county
will easily exceed that of nay other
county In the state.
