BEEF SECURED FROM MEXICO

Shipments Are Now Coming Out of Chihuahua to the United States in Great Quantities.' Chihuahua, lAex.—The shipment of cattle from this country to different parts of the United States is constantly on the increase, and during. the past week two herds were shipped to California, one of them occupying 40 cars and the other 20 cars. The former of these shipments went to Fresno, the other to San Diego, both herds being shipped from ranches in Sonora. During the past season large numbers of cattle have been shipped from this district, the bulk of them going to the big cattle markets in Missouri. All cattle shipped from this country are thoroughly inspected, both on the ranches and again when they reach the border, and the inspections at the ranches, while it is not recognized by the government at the border, Is so thorough that it is very seldom that a herd, when it has been once inspected on the ranch, fails to pass the government inspection on the border. According to the rules of inspection, when a herd has once been turned back at the border, or has been condemned at the ranch, no more cattle will be accepted for export from that ranch for a period of six months, after this time another inspection may be had; If the cattle pass inspection the shipping may be renewed. The constant decrease in the cattle ranges of Texas has given a great boom to that Industry in this country, and there are numerous cattle ranches moving over the border and lopatlng In Mexico, where sufficient range land may still be obtained.
