GOOD PRICES
CERTAIN
FOR CATTLE AND SHEEP
Nevada ExcelIs California for
Winter Range for
Cattle

The latest reports from the San
Francisco market IL to the effect that
mutton has gone up cent u pound.
This is encouraging news to the sheep
men of Nevada, who are particularly
lucky, from the fact thai the ranges
have furnished abundant feed, while
little or no hay has been fed to them.
Nevada mutton is in demand and the
buyers are securing the ranges for
the fat animals ofthe sagebrush state.
California on the other hand is shy OH
feed. Many sheep have perished for
want of feed as the late storm did
good, from the fact that the weather
turned cold after the storm aud re-
tarded the growth of grass.
Beef at the present time Is quoted
at the same rate, which is trifie lower
than that received at the same time
last year. This, it is believed, will not
last, a. the same condition Is existing
with the cattle men of California
as does with the sheep raiser. 1t is be-
lieved that within the next few weeks
cattle will go soaring, as has the price
Oh sheep
In talking with one OF the cattle
kings yesterday, the following was
stated to an Appeal man:
AT the present outlook 1t seems
that both cattle and sheep will reach a
very high price within a month, es-
pecially should the drouth continue in
California. At the present time the
cattle men of the other states are In
want of feed. They do not cut hay TO
the same extent that is done In Nevada
as they depend on the warm rains and
storms of winter to furnish winter and
spring feed. The rains did not come
and feed has grown exceedingly scarce.
The advance In mutton il all due to
the condition of tho weather In Cali
fornia The weather in Nevada has
been q blessing to the cattle men Of
this state. In my case 1t Is a saving
of many hundred dollars day rs ths
range cattle are able to hustle a living,
where, with heavy winter they
would be fed from the stack. Even
market cattle require less feed this
winter than in hard winter and all
the cattle shipped from this state have
been prime.
1T is true the most of the small
punches of cattle have been bought up
by the outsider, ~ this city alone
furnishes many carloads every day, as
can be noted by the trains. The heavy
owners and those who have been pre-
pared for an emergency, are now hold
ing on. They stand very good
chance of seeing cattle 90 much higher
and it would not surprise me to see
them quoted higher than last year
"Only today n couple of California
cattle men paid me visit. They are
looking for chance to buy winter
range in this state. They realize that
the conditions are better in Nevada
than on the other side, and there is no
great dependence given to the rainy
season. Nevada always has feed for
hersherds, and ii is only when an ex-
ira heavy winter comes, such rs that
of 1890 that there is any danger of loss.
Take it all in all the cattle business of
Nevada promises better returns than at
any time in the history of the state"

Controller s. p. Davis bids fair to
como in for slice of the estate left by
the late Nanny Pleasance. 1t appears
that some years ago she made deed OF
lot on Octavla street To Bell and Da-
Wis. This lot comprises the bulk of her
estate, and as the San Francisco papers
estimate her property to be worth from
81, 1000 to $4,000, 600, just how rich Mr..
Davis will be made remains to be seen.

SALT TRUST GETS
SETBACK IN COURT
Justice Leventritt Refuses to
Confirm Its Purchase at
Auction of the Six Plants of
the National Company.

Justice Leventritt. OF the Supreme
Court!H refused to-day to confirm the
sale at auction last September OF six
plants OF the National Salt Company to
the International Salt Company on the
ground that the term OF sale. the meth
cd OF tho hiding and other proceedings

The auction sale was held Mt ithaca
last September under an order signed
by Justice Bischoff. The plants brought

new sale should be held, which shall
have more publicity among possible bid
