Especial Correspondence

PARADISE VALLEY, December "a.
The Union Land and Livestock Com
pany, commonly known here as the
Up Bench" outfit, has bought all the
hay for sale in Paradise Valley. This
company, ii is said, has tried various
methods of cattle feeding in the win
ter time, including shipment to feed
ing points in central and southern
parts of the State, and has found from
experience it is more successful to
buy hay and feed on ranches near the
summer range of their stock. About
2500 head of stock are being fed here
now and more will soon come in.
1t is currently reported that the
Able & Curtner Land and Livestock
Company, principal land owner here,
has purchased several bands of sheep
to stock their mountain and desert
ranges. This company formerly ran
several thousand head of cattle, but
has been gradually decreasing herds,
evidently with the intention of going
into the sheep business.
