GRASS SIX INCHES HIGH

Special to The Timea
Douglas, Aria.. Feb. I.—William
Walters, a ranchman of Silver Creek,
was in the city yesterday and express-
ed himself a* well pleased over the
recent rains. He says, and Insists
that the grass and weeds are shoot-
ing up rapidly and states that the
grass. in many places in the hills. Is

for threes. Cattle fattened on alfalfa
are usually sold by the pound, but
often a price pc* bead Is fixed for
range stock and the animals are not
weighed at all.
The prices quoted above are sail
to be the best ever offered in Arizona
for range cattle.
Yearlings are preferred, lint are

able cattle are sold in tho early fall,
but the top prices now offered are In-
ducing many growers to comb their
ranges for animals that can be
"turned" at h profit.
In the early days of Arisona few
ateor* were sold until they were four,
five or even six years old. Then the
stockmen learned that a steer has
about reached his full growth
three years and makes better meat
than he does later on. By and by
! the more progressive began to discern
that there wasn’t enough difference

There Was a time when four cents
a pound was an extraordinary price
for prime beef on the hoof, The
grower who held his beef for four
cents was running great chances of
loss, for frequently the price did not
go high at all. Now it is a pretty

cents a pound. Five cents is nearer

tho ranges. It takes more feed for
one three-year-old than for three
yearlings. Therefore, many stork-
men lire Inerenslnjjf the number of
their cows and are selling their steers
at the end of the first year. Their
profits are swelling because of the
Increasing pries of cattle.
During the past year Mr. Kellogg
says the loss of one animal that was
highly valued would Justify the pro-
posed Increase, not taking Into con-
sideration other similar Instances re-
ported.
Under the present conditions, the
$10 bounty Is #n uninviting one to
the hunter, while on the other hand,
tho slaughter of skunks, wild cats
and other beasts leads to the neglect
of securing the far more destructive
animal. Since the $10 rate has been
established there has been a decided
Increase in lions, and as they grow

Mr. Kellogg also says that In the

ticularly so In the more rugged parts |
such as Bloody Basin, hundreds of
dollars In cattle and eolt losses have
been sustained during thp past year,
and not a Hon has been killed.

Ran Antonio. Tex., Feb. X.—Rail-
roads report a large movement of fhb
cattle from Texas to the market at
present. All of these cattle have
been fed at the oil mills or at the
ranches upon a combination diet of
prickly pear and cotton seed meal
i and hulls. It Is probable that close
According 76.000 head were put on feed in
Southwest Texas this winter. Fully
that number will move to the market
within the next, sixty days.
Owing In the lack of range to carry
cattle through the bad weather a
large number were put on feed. These
are now fat and It is to the Interest
of the feeders to get them to tho
markets Just as rapidly* as possible.
Range cattle are In an exceptionally
bad fix. They began the winter with
little grass to feed upon. The recent
cold spell killed all the weeds and
other green vegetations the light
rains had brought up. As a result
these cattle are being kept alive main-
ly on mesquite leaves and prlokly
pears, from which the ranch owners
are burning the thorns. The loss ,g
very heavy at present. The cattle ar'
getting poorer every day and If Feb-
ruary is a very cold month the loss to
ranchmen will be exceptionally large.
Rain Is badly needed, and on many
of the ranches the cattle are having
to go a considerable distance to and
from water. This is further weaken-
ing them.

POWER TRANSMISSION LINE
NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
Special tn The Timet.
Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 1.—About five
miles of the power transmission line
being built by the 'Lucky Tiger Min-
ing company from the Copper Queen
smelter in Douglas to the mining
camp have been completed by tho
contractors. The stringing of the
wire was started at the Tiger end of
the line. The poles will carry not
only the Nol 4 copper wire for the
transmission of electric power, but
also a line for telephone. At the Cop-
per Queen smelter the foundations
for the new generators have been
complted, and nine carloads of ina-
chlnery have been received, among
the material being the turbines for
the generation of the power for the
Tiger mine. The power to be trans-
mitted will be equivalent to 900 horse
power, and will light the camp, op-
erate 'the mining machinery, 'run tho
stamp mill and tho cyanide plant.
When these improvements are com-
pleted the output of the Tiger mine
in gold and silver will be doubled.
The output for the year 1910 was
$927,000. In the mine there is stack-
ed up in the slopes an immense lot
of lower grade ore, reidy for treat-
ment at tho new mill, an amount. In
fact, said to be greater than has ever
been reserved in any silver mine on
the continent.

MIAMI BEGINS SHIPMENTS
LATTER PART OF THE MONTH
Special to The Times
Cananea, Son.. Mex.. Feb. 1.—It is
now predicted that the Miami com-
pany will begin shipments of their
concentrates to tho Cananea Consoli-
dated Copper company between the
16th and the end of February. The
mill has not yet been completed and
It ls expected to be running during
the early part of the coming month.
The contract calls for dally ship-
ments of 100 tons of concentrates
dally and this amount, however, will
not be expected to arrive until aftet
the mill has been In operation for a
we*k or if>.
The output of the Cananea smel-
ter will be largely Increased by the
addition of the Miami concentrates.
It Is predicted that the output for
1911 will be In the neighborhood sf
65.000.000 pounds of blifter copper.
The Miami concentrates will carry
about 86 per cent copper, which alone
will add 70,000 pounds dolly to the
output. The Cananea eomnanv has
been making sn average of 128.000
pounds of blister copper dally during
1910 and with the same figures as a
basis, the output of 1911 should be at
least 96,000,000 pounds.
With the handling of the Miami
concentrate* come* ai*<S the employ-
ment of additional labor and this
item will be of benefit to Cananea tn
many ways.
Four furnaces are now in operation
at the smelter, but the output for
January will show no decrease com-
pared to December.
The spreading lied which will han-
dle the concentrates for the MoDou-
gais is now being Installed.
