The Observer last week in stating that
Joseph f. Hall was married at Fitch
Bay, Canada, made mistake. The ar.
tcle should have stated that the aged
gentleman died on that date. Mr. Hall
was one of the early Gilpin county set
tiers and lived here with his family many
years, leaving about fifteen years ago Tor
Canada. He was member Of the Gil.
pin County Pioneers association and was
widely known and respected by all the
oldtimers in this section Of the state.
Mr.. Hall died OF senility at the ripe old
age of ninety. His wife preceded him to
the other world year ago. She was
also long lived, teing nincty-two years
old at the time of death. Mrs. L. y.
Rugg, OF this city, niece OF Mr.. Hall,
survives him.

Cattle Bring Good Prices.

The DrOvers' Journal review Of the
Chicago beef market for the past week
says:
Range shipping operations have
continued ia full swing again this
week. A total Of 1900 cattle have
landed here from the west, comparing
with a like number last week and a
year ago. The good quality Of the Of.
ferings has again met keen appreci.
alton from buyers, and there has beer
broader competition from the eastern
shippers. Last sales Of fat strong
weight grades show a level largely lOc
higher than q week ago, but prices
for the medium and plain light classes
have been only steady, the outsiders
being poor bidders for steers lacking
good quality. The proportion OF
good rangers has been liberal, while
canning kinds have been rather
scarce. a fact pleasing to the sellers.
For a long time the trade feared tina,
the thin rangers would have to sell Il,
ridiculously low prices this season. by
reason Of the decentralization which hi,
the canned beef industry in conse.
Quence OF of the Neill.Reynolds beei
report and subsequent spreading
broadcast OF sensational untruths rel.
alive to stock yards packing methods,
but thus far it appears that the range
grass this season has been so good II
to fatten the great bulk OF steers into
pretty good condition, and the small
supply of Gamers here OF late have
sold fairly we'll.
The demand for fat rangers gives
every indication of continuing firm,
and prospects for good prices ia the
balance Of this month appear quite
hopeful. The good killing qualities
of the rangers are now becoming ap.
parent TO all of the slaughterers, AMI
their ready support of the trade for
the strong weight kinds warrants ex.
| pect ations of a continuation Of broad
demand.
There have been 40 strictly prime
rangers here this week such as went. a
