mers, it was the salvation of the cattleman There have been no steer buyers in the district this season which makes money mat ters little close. but the stockmen are not particular about forcing their steers on the market at pre- sent prices.
 Bisbee Review: Hon. B. 4. Pack ard was in Bisbee Tuesday for the purpose of conferring with the friends of the late J 5. Angius concerning the funeral of the de- ceased which occurred yesterday. Mr. Packard in speaking of the ranges on which his cattle are located stated that the grass was growing rapidly and cattle are get ting fat He stated that in no other country would cattle take on. flesh as in Arizona when the grass Is young and plentiful on the open ranges. It is not possible, he de- clared, to fatten cattle as fast by feeding them corn in the states as they will fatten on the young grass which springs up in Arizona after the summer rains. Six weeks ago all the cattle were poor and many dying; now they are getting fat and it will not be many days until unlimited quantities of beef can be had of home production.

HIDES AND HORNS.

Graham Bulletin: Sixto Molina had some Mexicans arrested thi: week for cattle stealing. It ap. pears that the cattle were breaking into the fields and the Mexicans drove them away so effectively that they never came back.
 Stockman: The Orme's of Ph9- nix, who have been camping near Castle Creek Hot Springs are said to be negotiating for two of the largest herds of cattle in southern Yayapai county. They show good judgment in going into cattle at this time.
 Graham Bulletin: Stockmen re- port the ranges as rapidly getting in better shape than they have been for years. A surprising growth of grass has sprung up, which will speedily fatten the range stock. The transformation of the last few weeks in Arizona has been wonderful.
 Stockman; \ roundup of the cattle of the Williams district, Co- conino county, started from Will Hams yesterday, according to pub lished notice by John Bixler. Ranges and cattle in that section are good, and cattlenen are natur- ally desirous of getting their cattle located that they may watch their steady improvement in condition.
 Stockman: Frank Fogal of Tenn pc, who has a cattle range on Date creek, Yavapai county, and who brought a shipment of young cat tie from the range to his farm in the valley some months ago be- cause of the dronth, last week shipped back to the range 15O head of heifers. He also vaccinated 1S0 head of calves on the farm at the same time.
 Williams News: E. $. Gosney of the firm of Gosney < Perkins, bankers, of Flagstaff, passed through here Thursday en route to Los Angeles on weeks busi- ness trip. Mr. Gosney Is also largely interested in the stock business of the southwest. He at- tends every meeting and conven- ton held by stockmen and his presence is of much importance to small stockmen, for whose inter- ests Mir. Gosney is an ardent champion
 Cananea Herald: K. J. Gates, secretary of the Turkey Track Cattle Company, was in town Friday and Saturday on business connected with his company He is one of the best known cattlemen in this section and his happy countenance. is wreathed in smiles whenever he refers to the recent rains, which have been q godsend to the coun- try in general. and cattlemen in particular The Turkey Track Company did not suffer as severely from the prolonged drouth as did some of the other cattle companies. but its loss would have been ser ious if the rains had been delayed much loager.
