Market Report.
Kansas City Stock Yards, July II. 1900

Kansas City stock YARDS, July IL, lvU5.
Cattle receipts here last week
amounted to A. 90 head, as against
80, 900 head same week last year.
Buyers were shy Of heavy beef steers
all week, and that class declined Is
to 20 cents for the week. Light steers
and butcher grades were Ia best de-
mand, and closed the week steady,
after selling higher middle of the
week. Grass cattle lost Is to Is cent 4,
with cows the smallest losers. Heavy
transforms the latter part of last
week crippled railroads badly, and the
supply today Is only 5000 head on that
account. There was run Of 30t o
belated cattle here Saturday, which
sold readily to packers in expectation
of the light run today, The mark +
is eneyen and dull today, for the rea-
son that railroads out Of h re are 10
bad shape. Order buyers for Eastern
slaughterers had nice orders today,
but railroads coald not promise good
service, SO none Of them were filled.
Packers have difficulty in moving re
frigerator cars, and indications point
to small receipts and quiet trade
next few days. Immediately on the
opening up of traffic ways there will
be great activity and good market
unless runs are excessive. The flood
situation at the stock yards is con-
siderered safe, tn : water now six feet
below the high stage year ago, and
not more than two feet more ex-
pected. Best fed sleers are worth

to 100, stockers and feeders off 20 to

The hog market is cratic, as usud
when receipts are exceptionally light,
and prices very high. The run last
week was only $4,000 head, receipts

day, top S7S7H, bulk of sales 81 60 to

Aspen Finding Gold Bearing Rock

According to the following artic-
le taken from the Aspen Times no
small excitement exists over the
possible finding of new gold fields
in the vicinity OF that old silver
camp 1t appears that very little
attention has been given to pros
pecting for gold and hardly ever
tests have been made for this net
al as SILVER WAS only looked for IN
the mines of the old camp. But
very little attention has ever been
given to prospecting for gold IN
the mines of our Elk Mountain
Districts, while it is known that
large amounts of placer gold was
washed out in this locality years
ago. One fact has been pretty well
established and that is this; where
silver has been discovered in the
mines OF Colorado, more or less
gold accompanies this metal IN the
veins which furnish the silver.
In many of our silver mines the
gold values while many ounces
less per tcu than the silver-we
must remember that an ounce OF
gold is now worth some forty QUA
ces Of silver. The prcspector should
therefore be on the lookout for the
gold, first because it is not alone
much more valuable Int tie price
never Hucuates and has the same
price in every civilized country OF
the world.
