Hereford bull from the Christy ranch in the Salt River valley. Since then he has sold ninety from the herd and still he has eighty head left. This venture was made as an investment by Mir. Dysart, and it has proved to be very pro- fitable one. These cattle have been maintained on thirty acres of John son grass pasture together with pas ture in stubble and stalk fields in the vicinity and some open sage brush pasture in the mesa foot hills north of Solomonviile. The bulls secured by MT. Warren were all beauties.

 Stockman: Shipments of fat cat
 tie from the several shipping points
 in this valley are of almost daily occurrence The stock is in good condition and this makes an active demand. California and territorial
 points continue to be the markets for this class of beef cattle.
 Stockman: Lord Thurlow, of England, has purchased from Mrs. k. B. Perrin the Baca land grant in the western part of Yavapai county, which has been used by the Perrin Bros. as vast sheep range for some years. While the grant will likely become the scene of active mining operations, it will likewise be continued for grazing purposes.
 Stockman: From the Mohave county range come encouraging re- ports. The Arrow says the outlook for the cattle interests in that county this year are very encour- aging. Stock are already picking up and plenty of fat beef will be ready for market by April 30th. It says stockmen are jubilant. This is good news, following several not very encouraging seasons in that county.
 Stockman; The 27th annual ses- sion of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association was concluded at Fort i Worth last Thursday. The greater part of the trading done there was for cattle above the quarantine line. which brought good prices, two year-olds selling at $22.50 to $24 { per head. The indications are that there will be sent to the Indian Territory and Oklahoma, for graz ing, in the neighborhood of 125,000 | head of cattle
 Tucson Star: While in Phoenix recently, Alfred Paul and c. A. Overlook purchased some fine horses. Monday evening three of them were placed in corral. Somehow they got the gate of the corral oper and started for their old home in the Salt River valley, going up the Sulphur Spring val ley. Under the offer of a reward a cowboy started in pursuit and over took the animals about seven miles north of Turquoise. He returned th9m to Douglas.

SIGNS OF ACTIVITY.
Coal Barons Appear to Be Pre-
pairing to Resume Operations.

WIkesbarre. Pa, July 6.-The move
ment OF empty coal cars along the rail-
roads and the unusual activity about
several of the collieries in the region
indicate to the strikers that an effort
Is to be made in a few days to start
work at some OF the colliertes. The
operators assert that they have sufd-
Gent men under engagement, both re-
turned strikers and imported men, to
man several OF the colIieries- While
they will not admit that work may be
resumed next week. there is a general
belief that the effort will be made. In
the Hazleton region the Pardees are
expected to mass men at the HARDWOOD
coiliery which, being on the outskirts
of the region. is in less danger of at
tack than a mine in the heart OF the
district and the coal can be shipped
from 1t without being sent past any
mining village. A number of miners
are said TO have applied for work In
that it was ready to receive applica-
lions.
In the Wyoming region, all fndica-
tfons point to resumption OF work at
the Nanticoke No. 5 colliery of the
Susquehanna Coal company. This mine
is situated at the edge of the Wyoming
basin and its output goes over the
Pennsylvania railroad.
It is also stated that the Wyoming
division mines of the Delaware, Lacka-
lected as the place where the works
will be started.
Some empty coal cars were today
placed on sidings near a couple of these
collieries and there is a hustle about the
workings which indicates that some
move is about to be made.
The Delaware & Hudson and the Le-
high Valley companies are also busy
with the preparations which make 1t
appear as IL at a time understood by
the operators, each company will try to
break the strike.
The officials Of the Union, cognizant
of what is being done. are busy. Pick
cts are watching the mines, and all
moves are reported to headquarters,
and if any effort is made to gather men.
the strikers will endeavor by large
picket committees to see them before
they go to work and dissuade them In
the Hazleton region they turned many
back this morning, an especially strong
picket line being established about the
Drifton colliery of the Coke Bros. & Co.
where the building OF a strong barbed
wire stockade, backed with barbados
yesterday lends color to the belief thai
an effort is to be made there to re-
sumo work.

THOSE WHO FELL.
List Of Fourth Of July Accidents
in Topeka.

For once the Fourth Of July passed
without single call being made for the
services OF the fire department. 1t Il
not occur again for many years 1t was
a bad night for fire last night, and
the department has cause to be thank
full that none occurred. The wind was
blowing a gale, and rocket sparks were
carried many blocks. but as luck would
have it, nothing valuable was set afire.
The railroads did big business in
and out Of Topeka. and while the coun-
try people were revelfng in the delights
Of pink lemonade and unearthly din, the
city folks were taking things easy on
the banks Of secluded creeks, far from
the noises CHARACTERISTIC Of July T.
The list of accidents this year seems
to be mainly to the credit of the toy
cannon. Almost every boy has a can
non nowadays. It Ii the proper thing.
This perhaps, accounts for the large
proportion of cannon accidents. In ad-
dition to the accidents reported in Fri
days State Journal, the following list
has been compiled:
