Western Beef Finds
Good Easten Market

Western beef is coming into its own.
Not over decade ago eastern buyers
purchased range-bred steers only when
they we're unable to fill their feed pens
from other sources, and usually offered
a much lower price for this class Of
stock than they we're willing to pay for
that secured from other places.
Experience has taught these buyers,
however, that western range-bred steers
are usually in the very best of health.
They have a splendid frame upon which
to build, are we'll muscled and boned,
and being accustomed to the rigors of
the western climate, continue to put on
flesh in the eastern feed pens when
cattle from other sections, being fed
under identical conditions, are losing
flesh on account of the Indictment
weather conditions. This western steer
only demands that he be given plenty of
good fresh water and sufficient feed so
that he may never be hungry and he
will always give good account of him
self and return many dollars in profits to
the feeder when he is sold for the block
in the spring.
These steers shed early under favorable
conditions, and when they have reached
the stockyards they show an exterior
finish that other cattle lacking the same
health and ruggedness, fail to show.
This makes the western steers ready
sellers on the market, and after they
have been butchered the percentage of
the weight Of the dressed carcass over
that of other steers under the same con-
ditions is so perceptibe as to mmedi-
ately attract the attention of those keen,
far-sighted men who handle the ward end
of the business.
The settlement of the West is rapidly
reducing the amount of available range
and is forcing the cattle to go higher and
higher into the hills in search of forage.
This is greatly increasing the importance
of freely utilizing the ranges within the
National forests, and every endeavor is
being made by the forest service to open
hitherto inaccessible ranges by the con-
struction of trails and bridges, and UNI
used arid ranges by the development OF

Eagle Carries Trap Three Hundred
Miles.

Last week an eagle was killed at the
Ellison ranch near Edgewood. On one
of its feet was attached a No. 3 steel
trap, which had apparently been on the
birds talon about two weeks.
1t has Just been learned that on Mo-
vember I'D an eagle got into a No. 3
steel trap belonging to N. Greenslate of
Plymouth Amador county, and carried
tine trap away with it. 1t is believed
that the eagle killed at Edgewood, which
is about 800 miles from Plymouth in
an air line is the same that carried off
Greenslate's trap about ten days before.

From OUR Exchanges.

A terrible and shocking accident in
which George E. Miller Of the Grand
Oaks ranch lost his life occurred last
Friday morning on the road TO Canadian
Valley and the Fischer, district country.
The brake rod broke and Mr.. Miller was
thrown from the four horse wagon he
was driving. Both front and hind
wheels passed over his head and upper
portion of his trunk, crushing him in a
horrible manner and dshguring him
most frightfully. One of his young
sons was with him at the time but
escaped without receiving the slightest
injury although the horses took fright
and we're severely cut about the breast
and legs When the boy realized that
his father was beyond earthly help he
Strengthened out the horses and went to
Mokelumnc Hill to impart the sad news.
Prospect.
The Ledger last week, not knowing
any better, made the statement that the
Bunker Hill mine continues to lead all
the gold producers in the county in its
yield Of bullion in proportion to the
rumber of stamps in operation, the out
put for the past month amounting to
$1,000 per stamp. During the past
month the South Eureka mine, with 40
stamps knocked gold out of rock TO the
tune of $50, 600, which is $500 to the
stamp. Both the South Eureka and
Bunker Hill are first-class mines, how
ever. Record.
On Monday last there was an exciting
runaway in the vicinity of Rich Cuch,
in which Charles Dunning and two
horse team were the principal actors
Mr. Dunnng was coming down what is
known as Alabama hill, which is ex-
tremely steep and very rough. His
horses became frightened and started to
run, and although Dunning is rated as a
first-class reinsman he was unable to
control the frightened animals Down
the steep grade they came at a breakneck
speed, seeming to gain momentum at
every jump, with Dunning hold of the
lines and foot set firmly on the brake.
There was no chance TO jump, so Dunn
ing stayed with the team, and when near

Eight HOUR LAWS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Eight Hours Actual Work.

The consttutionality of the eight
hour mining and mill law was upheld by
the supreme court, sitting in bank
Thursday, in the habeas corpus appli-
cation Of Fred J. Martin, supernten-
dent of the Utica mine at Angels Camp.
In rendering a decision the court cited
test cases which have been declared
valid
Martin was placed under arrest at
Angels Camp last June, three different
charges of violation of the law being
lodged against him. One charge was
that Of working a man in mine for a
longer period than eight hours; another
was that of working man in a mill for
longer than the specified time; the third
was that Of working a man eight hours
in mine and compelling him to make the
trip to and from the lode on his own
time.
While unfolding the law the court
construed the act to mean eight hours
actual work, deciding in the last case
that the defendant be discharged, re-
handing him back to the lower courts
on the other two charges.
The defense maintained that the law
was unconstitutional nasmuch as il
legislated against one class of men. II
introduced the decisions of the courts OF
Colorado, which have declared a similar
law invalid.
The court. in rendering its decision,
maintained that the matter came under
the police power Of the state, holding
that there are number of occupations
which are dangerous or detrimental Il
the health of employees, such occuptions
demanding special precautions fer the
we'll being and protection of the EN-
ployes
This decision is favorable TO tht
mneowners on the main contention
namely, the eight hours labor means tina
number of hours in actual mine work
exclusive of the time occupied going II
or returning from the point of activity
The strike was based on the demand By
the miners that labor day commenced a

water. In these higher elevations the
grass is usually much finer in quality
and more nutritious, while the climate
is much more rigorous; both Of which
conditions result in the animal being in
better health and having more solid
flesh when placed on the feeder markets
in the fall This fall has seen large
numbers of the range-bred steers, most
of which come from ranges within
National forests, topping the feeder
markets at all points where feeder
steers are sold
So great has become the demand for
cattle of the quality mentioned that
hundreds of stockmen throughout the
west are selling their punches of stock
cattle and are beginning to handle steers
exclusively On the old ranges where a
few years ago one was accustomed to
see large herds of cows and calves, you
will find to-day equally large punches
made up entirely of steers, some of
which may perhaps have come from Old
Mexico, some from Texas, while Arizona
and New Mexico usually furnish their
quota. These steers are brought into
these western ranges at from eighteen
months to two years old. They become
acclimated the first year, while in the
second and third years they become
sufficiently mature so that they may be
taken to market.
The demand for cattle of this kind is
greater than the supply and as in all
other cases where the demand is greater
than the supply the price received on
sale must constantly increase. That
this is true of the steer business, one
can easily ascertain through conversation
with any one of the western stockmen
who make this business. They will
ell you that they have made more money
in the last two or three years in handl-
ing steers than they made in ten years
in handling strictly stock cattle.
