STOCK BREEDING.
The N1ukden authorities are attempt
ing the breeding of fine stock. They
have several Ayrshire and Shorthorn
cows and bulls. and are crossing them
with the native cattle. They will try.
to breed better horses, and to improve
the native hog.
Mr.. Parker tells me that the chief
cattle in this part of the world now
come from Mongolia. The natives use
the wild prairie sandy uplands as, graz
ing grounds, and also the low alluviali
soils farther down They breed their
cattle in central places where&the bulls
flock, drive them from place to place
tosftnd pasture. During This time their
homes are round tents of hide, which
they can set up or take down as they
please, When the5cattle are ready for
the market, they drive them to the
Russian or Manchurian cities for sale.
At the present time there is no great
demand for meat in this part of the
world. Tho Chinese live upon grain,
vegetables and fish, with a bit of native
pork now and then. The 3Buddhists
do not eat meat at all. and the demand
is confined to the sMohammedan Chi
nese, to the Russians and to such for

GET ELY CENTRAL
President of Company. Called
to New York to Close Up
the Deal.

+. s. Pheby of Ely has been called to
New York by wire, and left on Monday
When questioned just previous to his
departure by a representative of the
Ely Mining Expostor, he stated he did
not know Just why his presence was
necessary in New York at this time,
and he was unwilling to either affirm
OF deny that it was for the purpose of
completing the transfer of the Ely Cen
trail company. of which he is president
and general manager. TO the Cole-R Ryan
interests which have just taken over
the control OF the Giroux Consolidated.
In the minds of those who are fam J.
lar with the principal properties in the
district. there is no doubt but that the
visit means the merging of the Ely
Central with the Giroux and possibly
other properties into one big company
by the Cole and Ryan interests as the
value OF the group is beyond question,
it having been thoroughly prospected
by numerous drill holes put down
around the outer edge of the group and
also by the operations of other compa-
MES that have drilled the adjoining
claims. The results of the drilling have
proved the existence of immense bodies
N copper ore which in some places car
RES much native. The group joins the
Copper Flat, where the Nevada Con is
operating with steam shOvels, and as
work has approached close to the lines
between the two properties it has
helped to show the value of the Ely

Copper company will be listed and
regularly called. The application of the
company, accompanied by a check for
the listing fee, reached the officials OF
the exchange yesterday, and not little
satisfaction was expressed that the
company had taken the step. Ohio Cop
per has been a most active stock on the
curb for several months. and the ex-
change membership has been anxious
to see the company formally list the
stock in order that the trading IN 1t
might be done in open and above-board
fashion; in order that authentic quota
tons might be made and transactions
recorded.
The statement filed with the listing
committee. which is properly attested
by the authoritative officials OF the
company, shows that the corporation is
capitalized for 100000 shares, par so;
that $50, $50 shares are still in the treas
Ury, in addition TO S76,452 in cash. The
company has SsT7 600 worth of bonds
outstanding.
The cOmpany's property consists of
fifteen patented claims in the camp Of
Bingham, which have been developed
by 1885 feet Of shaft and 1882 feet of
tunneling, raises. crOss-cuts and SIM
liar openings. In the way of equip

plant nearing completion at the mouth
Of the MascOtte tunnel: an electric
hosting plant, two compressors and a
world of other equipment that is usual
ly found at well equipped mines, includ-
ing buildings and shops of various de-
scriptiOns- The amount of ore in sight
above the 500-foot level is given al -
o14,1S1 tons, and the amount of possible
ore, which will shortly,~be converted
into probable and a little later into
known ore between the Mascotte tunnel
and the 500 level, is given at 6,410.O74
tons. These figures do not include any
thing that may and surely will be de-
veloped beyond the present limits of
exploration and development laterally
along the lode, which is expected to add
as much more.
James MacFarlane of Denver is pres
ident of the company, and George Bag
lin of New York is secretary. while
Colin Mcintosh is manager of the
properties; There is just one thing con-
nected with the listing of the company
that the exchange viii ask to have rem

VIII ask the company to establish a
transfer office in this city. i'm order that

the effect that a most favorable change
had occurred in the face of the southeast

lime and the change to this condition is
taken to mean that the ore-making zone
is being entered.
This drift along the cross break is being
extended in the direction that surface
workings and development of neighbors
makes practically certain the striking of
ore The drift has not reached the point
by a considerable distance where ore has
been anticipated. so the change that is
taking place at this time is considered ex-
ceptionably favorable. The work is now
reaching a most interesting stage. and
