BEEF MAY JunP skvwAEo
Chicago Stockmen Sbjee. to Having
Cow Stuff Held Up.

Meat prices in Chicago may iuup
skyWard unless the beef trust receds
from Its recently announced intention
To delay payment on certain Of its live
stock purchases until they have pass
the government post mortem examina-
ton.
The packers notified the commissiuu
firms that they would no longer stand
the loss on condemned cattle, and lu
order 10 protect themselves they had
found it necessary TO refuse paymeut
'on COW stun" until II has passed the
government inspectors.
During the latter part Of last week
thousands of letters and telegram
were sent out by the commission men
TO their customers notifying them Of
the action that had been taken by the
packers and advising them to withhold
all shipments OF cattle to the big ma
kets controlled by the trust until the
difficulty is adjusted. This is expec;ed
to cut the meat supply tremendously
before the week Is over. and prices ar
expected to 60 up correspondingly.
Commission men declare IL is the IN
tention of the packers to enforce the
rule with regard TO COW stun" now IN
the hope that similar action may b.
taken later Win reference 10 tneiT pA4
chase OF sheep and hogs.
Cow stuff' is a minor item in pack
ing house business. and commissiun
men say II is for this reason that the
packers selected 1t as the objective 70
their new ruling. Less than two per
cent of this class OF purchases is coy
demned as unfit by the government in
spectors and the loss on 1t would not
mean much TO the shippers and pro
ducers.
The commission men contert
though. that If the packers are allow I'd
TO refuse payment on this class OF live
stock they will extend the ruling later
to all their purchases. and this. CON
mission men declare, practically would
drive most of them out OF business and
make the cattle raising business an eH
tremely Improbable one.
Some Of the leading commissiun
firms and shippers have communicated
with the secretary OF agriculture a
Washington with regard to the new ac
tion on the part OF the packers. and as
surances have been given that any at
tempt to delay payments on live stock,
as threatened by the packers. would re
suit in the withdrawal Of the inspection
service.

Cattle Being Dipped at Denver Yards

Denver.-The grounds OF the Denver
Union Stock Yards Company are
scenes of activity these days. owing to
the great number OF cattle being
dipped and sprayed preparatory to be-
ing turned out to pasturage in the
northern states. The work is under
the immediate charge OF Edward NJ
Smith, inspector from the United
States bureau OF animal industry. The
cattle now undergoing the process Of
dipping is a consignment from Texas
and North and South Dakota
Ralph Mahon. superintendent OF the
yards, estimates the number daily
handled as between 1900 and 5000
head. The dipping season opened
about the first of May and will con-
tinue until the latter part OF July.
The dip and spray are used because
OF compulsory legislation by Congress
and lately by the laws of Wyoming and
the Dakotas. 1t is claimed that the
processes heal and prevent what Is
known among herds as "scabies. +"
which is a rash appearing on the hide
of the animal.
The national laws require that all
cattle affected with scabies be sprayed
or dipped before being shipped. Cat
III
treatment The laws Of Wyoming and
Dakota have gone further and require
hat all cattle be dipped or sprayed, so
hat not carload of cattle is shipped
into the above states without a cers
tifcate from a United States inspector
that they have been dipped or sprayed
within ten days.
The dipping is the more common Of
the two processes. The cattle are sub
merged into a vat containing a compo-
sition OF soap, oil and water, after
which, II they are free from scabs, they
are allowed to stand from six to ten
hours, and are then shipped to their
destination. II the cattle are affected
with scabies they must undergo a Sec
ond dipping after two years.
The dipping vat and one sprayer
have been In operation for two years.
but, owing to the large number Of cat.
tie being shipped here for treatment.
the second sprayer was installed and
put in operation a few days ago. At
present the yards are the best
equipped in the region west Of the

Discovers Body Of Iron.

Leadville-After long and patient
campaign of prospecting, Manager
Robert O'Neil of the Aetna property
on Carbonate hill has encountered a
fine body of iron. The shaft Is 20
feet deep in the parting quartzite and
iron Is exposed in three levels.
An upraise is being driven from the
300-foot level and 1t is expected to en-
counter a manganese body. The de-
velopment work has been carried for
ward systematically in order to open
the mineral bodies so that they can be
handled to the best advantage.
The two new boilaeD al the Helena,
in Iowa gulch, have been installed, and
1t is expected that as soon as the water
is beaten down the shaft will be sunk.
A good vein of sulphide has been cut
at the 5o0-foot level, but this will not
be mined at present until the other
work of development is completed.
Several men are at work driving the
Mansfield tunnel to connect with the
shaft. This will be used for taking off
the water and will save a lift OF 1l2
feet

her father has been subjected to undue

Mr. Smart's first wife died twenty
