PHOENIX, Feb. 12.-The large cat tie ranch, with several hundred head of cattle. and the range owned by I. J. Fraser have been sold to w. ]. Clements, an eastern capitalist. With the sale are included several smaller ranches. The property Is in one of
 the finest localities and the range which occupies a portion of the coun- try in the Superstition mountains. is with few peers, The deal was made through the Pomeroy Guthrie Realty company and is one of the biggest transactions consummated fer q long time in this part of the country. The consideration is sS0,000, part Of whick has already been paid. and the bal .ance is to be forthcoming immediate ly,
 With the transfer is included the Fish Creek property. and one of the ranches in the upper end of the valley is the site of the proposed sum- mer resort.
 MT. Clements purposes to foster the idea of such place and has. it is un- derstood, offered to assume q large portion Cg the expense which will be incurred in building the roadway there from the stage station. By this means one of the most difficult features con pected with the maBing Of an ideal place for spending the hot summer months in the Superstition mountains will have been accomplished
 The exact number oi cattle included in the transfer has net been learned. but the brand adopted by Sr. Fraser
