CATTLE MARKET

satisfactory cattle market last week,
when values declined 10 TO 35 cents,
operated toward a small Monday sup
ply here today. The early estimate
OF $500 head proved too small though,
the final count for the day being
close 20 ten thousand head. This
meagre supply resulted in a steady Ia
strong market, in spite Of the burden.
some run Of $4,000 cattle at Chicago
today, with a sharp decline In prices
there. Evidently Illinois and Iowa
shippers are cutting loose freely. Some
say IL Is because Of the severe raw
ages Of hog cholera in those states
and the high price Of corn Is prob
ably also a factor. Whatever the
reason a good many cattle are getting
out of the way, which may benefit
the market later In the winter. Feed
ers in different localities complain
about the poor fattening qualities Of
corn this year. Complaint is made
that the corn is either wormy, or lael

pearance normal. The high prices

(From Fridays Daily,

Col X. X. Clark Of Forum, Okla,
has been making thorough inspee-
tion Of the Zero mines on the Jersey
Lily road. Col. Clark il mining
man Of wide experience and Is thor
oughly alive TO the great possibilities
OF deep mining in this section. The
old Zero is n property Of exceptionally
high merit having been shipper in
the early days when only high grade
rock would stand the charges. The
property has only been worked in the
shallow levels and Col. Clark figures
on opening IL up below all the present
workings. IL is almost sure thing
that IL he does that he will take out
enough high grade ore in short
time to pay for the property in royal.
~ on the liberal contract which he
has with the owners.
The camp will be operated under the
name Of the Reserve Royalty com
pany, and Col. Clark himself will take
charge Of the work aud see that IL is
carried on in a busincsslike manner.
He will return about the first Of the
year, accompanied by his wife, and
will erect cottage at the camp for
himself besides putting mp proper
quarters for force Of men.
Work IL already under way in the
Zero North tunnel and in the main
Zero tunnel, and there is strong prob
ability Of striking shipping ore IN
both Of these tunnels. As soon M an
ore shoot is located, sinking will bs
done on il, and when more depth II
gained prosecuting will be done. Il
tap other well defined veins which
show on the surface.
Aside from the possibilities Of thiI
property a. n shipper Of high grade
ore, there are several veins Of goot
grade milling ore on the ground, and

property, only ten miles south Of Pres

and the general necessities for q min
ing camp. The business men Of thi
city can readily understand what 1
means to them 10 have live mininI
camp in operation near them.
Col. Clark IL alive 10 the possibili
ties Of the country. but he also recoq
niyss the needs Of the country, an,
mentioned the fact that good road

realizes that either the county or tn
mining company must spend som
