Show THc CATTLE MAHKET. Ph i Mien n fmyt IT era of HerTea will go Stay wrd. Phil Shenon, who is known in Salt Lake as a man whoso judgment is recognized rec-ognized on cattle and mining matters, says the price of steers will go skyward before many moons. "I have just been down iu Idaho," he said, "and bought every steer I could fin t in the Lemhi valley. 1 started ut the font of the valley and worked upward. When I reached the last ranch I found that another man had bought about seventy-five head-all head-all there were there. Learning that I had mado a clean-up of the valley he concluded that a few head was of little use to him and I bought them. "Yes. cattle are going to bring good prices," said the old time prospector, uow capitalist; "You see," he weut on with the air of a veteran caltleuian, "tho several poor winters past have materially cut short tho supply of beef cattle. Many calves died and in consequence con-sequence the supply of three-year-old beef is very slim. The live stockmen have been buying large bands of cows for market. Heof cattle is a very good investment at this time, 1 think." |
