V/COL / .GROWING IS NOW PROFITABLE Orent 'Ailrnnee in Vnlne of Flocks Uooil llmnltit from Wool Growing Since the IMnKley I Mir 'Went 1 Into Effect Some PIIE3COTT , Ariz. , April 6. ( Special. ) " 'I think It unnecessary f6r any cno In Arlzcoa and New1 Mexico to remark that the agent ot prosperity arrived In this region omc months ago , " said ex-Senator John E. Baxter a few days ago. "The agent's work 1 all about us. The enocp and wool business ia nove ! been better , all things considered , In the territories than In the last six months , and the cattle business lias not been so pros perous since 1888 perhaps 1886. The In crease In valuations In the sheep and cattle Industries of Arizona and Now Mexico In the last ten months la at least $20,000.000. U Is simply wonderful the way the values ot sheep and wool have gone up , and It la astonishing the way all sorts of cattle have been Btcad- Jly climbing up In value without a setback every week for nearly a year. " From the Colorado river , on the west of Arl'/ona , to the Ilaton mountains , on the northeast of Now Mexico , tjio change In the condition of affairs and the appearance ot things compared with them a year ago Is fltrlklngly apparent. All the towns In the territories are as bustling and lively as they had been sleepy and accdy for five years pre vious to 1S97. There Is more building going on , commercial businesses ere being jnoro enlarged and capital la coming Into the tcr- rltorjcs for Investment moro this winter than In any season In a long tUne. The Atchlscn , Topeka & Santa Fo rallfoad , which runs straight through Arlzonjt and Now Mexico , lias been doing a big tnielness for months , and for weeks during lost fall It had a dearth of cattle cars. Tlio cowbojs re coming bacK from the eastern cities and are gong out on thn ranges again. The community In tlio familiar fairy etory that awoke from HA drowsiness when the fairy waved-Its wand has Its actual counterpart In the rousing o [ the territories during the last halt year. ADVANCE IN VALUES. It Is doubtful If any Industry has re- upended so quickly nnd marvelously to the Dlngloy tariff legislation of last summer aa wool-growing. The value of the total wool product of Now Mexico alone advanced from $1.834,000 In 1890 to $7.050,000 In 1897. The figures of the wool Industry arc not attaina ble for Arizona , but it Is estimated that the wool clip of 1R9G In Arizona sold for about t $1.730,000 , while that of 1897 recently sold I for about SG.400,000. There Is a boom In ehcop and ahecp ranges all over the south west. Go where ono will In the territories these days and ho wilt hear men talking about the extraordinary change that has come over the sheep and wool Industries. From the fall of 1892 to June. 1897. over two-thirds of the , people engaged in wool growing In Arizona and Now Mexico failed. In the year 1894 Judgments to the amount of over $ f.00,000 were docketed In Santa Fo , * ! M. against wool growers who had once been rich. In Navajo county. LT. . , two sheep ranch companies and seven Individuals went Into insolvency in 1893. A few years previous they had been very wealthy and employed pcorcs of laborers. The flocks In Now Mexico decreased over GO per cent be- 'tween the years 1892 and 1897 ; ranges that vccst small fortunes were abandoned and tena -thousands , ot , sheep were , transported ta market by the Santd'Fo railroad for mutton. The Holbrook Wool company , that once had over $400,000 Invested In sheep and range , went out ot business In 189G , after losing over $200,000 In four years. Wool sold between - tween 1892 and 1897 for prices varying from 3 to B cents a pound. Some sheep borders < lld not clip their fleecy crops for a year or two because the proceeds from wool did not justify the expense. So the flocks with their weight of wool wore , loadpd on cars and/sent to the eastern butchers. Since last July 4he prlco for wool In the very aame. localities has fluctuated from 10 to112W cents a pound. t .Tho average , throughout the southwest has l > ccn 11 cents a pound for wool. The revival In the wool market has helped I .everyone out here. There are wool merchants ' 'at Las Vegas , Albuquerque. Holbrook. Flagstaff - staff and Prescott who , convinced that wool would not always bo on the free Import list , borrowed money and kept 'buying and etorlng wool during the years that the ln-i dustrywas floundering In distress. This sea- 'son theae buyers have profited by their cn- . terprlse. Some of thorn have cleared $ CO,000 'and $70.000 on wool' lately. Several wool tuyere have had their stored product rise i 150 per cent In value In elx months. Hun dreds of sheep farmers who wanted buyers of their ewes at 75 cents a year ago now get $1.75 and $2 for tlio animals. PROSPECTS AHEAD. In his last annual report to the president Governor Miguel A. Otero of New Mexico' : deals exhaustively with the wool Industry In the territory. Jle shows how the year 1897 lias been the most auccossful for wool growers throughout New Mexico for a dozen years. He cites scores of Instances of sheepherders - herders who have been llvln ? along from i hand to mouth for five years and have at last sold both sheep and wool at prices that 1m vo made them financially Independent once more. Ho shows , how. It the present prlco of wool may bo maintained , the greater part of the 650,000.000 pounda ot the product consumed In the United States every ye - wlll aoon bo grown in New Mexico and the adjacent Colorado and Arizona. ' 'Oh , wo cattle men who have managed to krep afloat for the last savon years , " said cx-Congrewmnii J. W. Ilayncr Itie other day. "aro all right now , but no one knons what awful leases there liave been among cattle tncn from Kansas to California In the yeara ot financial depression. It la no exaggeration to say that at least $15.000.000 was dropped by cattlemen and cattle companies , right hero In * Arizona between 1891 and 1S97. Four English cattle- companies , capitalized at $500,000 each , went to the wall In northern Arizona In ono year. I baw In 1891 and 1895 bunches ot the finest steers that over rol licked over a range sell for $7 a head. They would bo snapped up at $25 a head today. I could mention a long string of names of men who were rich In 1890 and had made their all In cattle. They went flat broke In cattle In 1896. Dut now we're on our feet again. Three years more like 1897 and we'll have cattle kings as ot old. " CATTLE BUSINESS. The characteristic scenes In cattle towns , In the welt a.dozen years ago arc being re- enacted. There has been a graveyard quiet > in such towns as Williams , Holbrook , Aoh Fork , Gallup and Prescott for several years. A score of the smaller towns have literally dried up In the era of hard times , and are now coming to life once more. In IS91 ono two or three-year-old cattle varied In price from $8 to $17 a bead. Failures of cattle men were common , and a half dozen banks that loaned money to sheep and cattle herd ers and had been reckoned very solid , d.at down in the Crash. Over 40,000 acres ot cat tlo ranges In northern and western Arizona were abandoned In a few years , < and the cow boys wgre discharged by the wholesale when the herds had been sent to the eastern stock yard * for any prlco they would bring. Th gross failures of cattlemen and companies In Arizona In 1894 and 1S ! 5 amounted to $5,850,000. Today one-year-old steers bring In these territories from $10 to $14 , twa-year-oldi from $16 to $19 and three-year-olds from $21 : to $24. The great Crescent company herd of 4,000 cattle was sold by the sheriff at S dden Death * on th ? Tcople apparently -well and happy today tomorrow are stricken down , and In ninety , nlno cases out of every hundred the heart Is the cause.

Now similar cattle arc- sought by the agents of the Kansas City and Chicago stock yards tlT prices ranging from $16 to $24 a head. The Aztec Cattle company , which was for tunately able to weather the financial storm tiu until the sunshine of prosperity came , re cently sold In Kansas City a herd of 2,000 for ( $41,500 that they could not sell for 117- 000 a year ago. Buyers for the stock yards Oiu the eastern cltlea had ceased to bo an unknown quantity In the territories by 1896. Now they are in every part of the cattle country seeking shipments of steers at largo prices. The ranges are once more being taken up. Over 25,000 acres of land , unused for several years in the dlmlnlshment of the flh herds , have been leased aid taken up by new cattle companies formed In the last few months. The railroad companies have been at their wits' ends for months to pro vide cam for hauling the cattle to market , and there have not been such gay , lively branding and round-up scenes on the ranges In this country for a decade as In the last season. In 1891 , 1895 and 1896 no more than 30,000 head of cattle were shipped from Hol brook station in any season. In 1897 the shipments of cattle from Holbrook amounted to 73.COO. IlISCOVHIl SOMK IltHKOUI-AIlITIKS. , Sonth Dnkola Oil Inspector III * Duty. PIERRE , S. D. , April 6. ( Special. ) While the report of the public examiner on tbo In- vestlgatlon of Oil Inspector Dowdell will not bo filed for several dajs and Just what It will say cannot certainly be learned until It la presented , it has leaked out hero that there Is a great deal to account for on the part of tha Inipecter. One ot the matters ! a that ho has been holding up a fund of about $500 which belongs to the fitato and should have been turned in some time ago. In regard to bis work of Inspection , the agent of the Standard Oil company In this city sajs that out of seven tanks of oil which have been shipped Into thla city slnco Mr. Dowdell took his oIUco but ono ban been Inspected. Tanks were received on July 20 , August 2 , October 28. December 28 , In 1897 , and Janu ary 29 and March 24 ot this year. Ono ot these was Inspected In July or August by a sample furnished by the agent and on notifi cation ot the receipt of other tanks the Inspector asked that famples bo mailed him. Ho was requested to fucnlfh mailing tubes for thla purpcae , but neglected to do so and the oil was not Inspected. From remarks of those who know something of the progress of the Investigation a similar policy has been follow cd at other points. Whether the re port will show moro than carelessness or not Is yet to bo learned , but It is certain that the Inspector baa placed himself In a position that ho can hardly expect to Inspect oil for the state for another year.

The recent change In the plan of having the strip thrown open upon the receipt of the United States sur vey maps at the land office In Kallspell , meets with general approval nnd does away with the advantages posstfsod by a ring that for ' two years past has been prospecting on the etrlp and using its every endeavor to have the ceded portion thrown open In the cad of winter , when only these possessed f a knowledge of 'the ' mineral leads would e able to locate and file. It Is Just thirty years slnco the land of ho Blackfeet and Plegans has been known o contain rich deposits of gold , silver , cop er lead and ztac. It was in 1867 when a arty of Blackfeet first brought a small tack f yellow dust to old Fort Bcnton , where It vas traded for a gallon Jug of whisky. A ew years later at my olflcers on duty In the Iclnlty of the divide , on the western bound- .ry of the reserve , made discovery of pay ock. since which tlmo more or less prospcct- ng and mining have been carried on.

The ceded strip comprises a little over 1,000 square miles of the liicst picturesque country ever opened to tottlemeut. It Is the wciste < rn portion of the reservation to the main divide of the Rocky mountalra. At the nternatlonal boundary line it is twenty miles wide , at the center of the strip twenty-threo miles , at Us nirrowcst point nine miles and at the extreme south seventeen miles. The total length Is slxty-slx miles. Not , one portion tion of thin area but has been most thor oughly prospected mining experts from all over the Unltc-d States , and while a very few rich ores have been discovered , the great majority haa been found to bo low grade pay rock In largo quantities. Copper has been found In greatest quanti ties near the headwaters of the Watertop , Belly and Swift Current 'rivers from six to sixteen miles south of the Canadian bound ary. Citadel mountain , the Dome and that section lying Just southwest of Upper St. Mary's lake also show good turfaco rock , running well In copper , with a trace of golO and lead. Silver and lead have been found In the greatest quantities at the head of Cut Bank rhisr , ttn miles routh < xf Upper St. Mary's lake , while a lower grade of the same ore. carrying large deposits of zinc , abounds In the mountains to the south and west. Traces of gold are to'be found In nearly all the mountains Jn.tlio norther pojrtjpn of.ihe strip , but the most valuable leadp have been discovered on the St. Mary's river ani streams heading In Chief mountain. Quartz rock predominates , with some small placer ground , . „ There have boon but three townsltes talked of. In fact , the etrlp contains loco tlons for but this number , and 'tho ' prlnclpa town will bo at Upper St. Mary's lake. Fue' la plentiful , both coal and wood , and the attraction for sportsmen unexcelled.

( Special. ) The checks for the long due payment of $150,000 and interest for the Ncz Pcrccs Indians arc anxiously expected by the officials at the tadlan agency. The pay rolls for this Install ment were made up and forwarded from the agency on February IS , and the present delay Is uncommonly long , evea for the gov ernment. This will be the sixth Installment ot the purchase money duo the > N'ez Perccs and It amounts to $167,109.58. U was due August 15 of last year and has been over taken by another payment of $150,000 and Interest' that became due 'February 15 last. The present payment la a per capita of $99.94 and shons that 1 672 Indians of all ages arc now on the Nez Percrs census roll. This Is a startling decrease in the enumeration of the tribe , as the rolls for the first payment In 1895 contained 2,069 names. Excluding the 110 Joseph Indians who are now on the Col- vlllo reservation , the actual number of allot ments In force In ISM was 1,387 , while the propojit population of 1,672 tdows a decrease of 215 in three years. The rolls are entitled to absolute verity , as all births are promptly repsrted In order to get the new arrival on the pay roll and all deaths are as diligently reported by neighbors who profit somewhat by the reduced enumeration. After the pres ent expected payment la made there will etlll bo six more Installments to come , each of $150,000 and Interest on deferred amounts.

The mother , in the majority of cases , is unconsciously re sponsible for this sad state of affairs. Where the mother , during the anxious period , Buf fers from weakness and disease of the dis tinctly feminine organism , it is useless to expect a sound nnd healthy baby. Kvcry woman may be strong in a womanly way , and have robust , happy cliildien. A wonderful medicine for women is Dr. Plcrce's Favorite Prescription. It it the discovery of an eminent and skillful spe cialist , Dr. R. V. Pierce , for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel nnd Surgical Institute , at lluffalo , N. Y. It is a medicine that acts directly and only on those delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of matcniity. It makes them strong , healthy and elastic. It allays inflammation , heals ulccratioti , stops debilitating drains and soothes pain. It gives rest and tone to the tired nerves. It &ta for wifehood and motherhood. It docs away with the discomforts of the expectant period and makes baby's coming easy and comparatively painless. Honest druggists will not offer an inferior substitute for the sake of a little extra profit. "I suffered for years from displacement , debili tating drains , inflammation and weak back , " writes Mrs. Dessic McPherson , of 58 So. Main St. , Providence , K. I. "I traveled with my husband , ' 'and first noticed my weaknesses coming on when the jolt Qf the cars become unbearable. I stop ped traveling but the trouble steadily Brew worse. I suffered so that I became despondent and wish ed for 'death. I took only a lev.- bottles of Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and was perma nently cured.
