Big Ranch Changes Hands

A deal which has been in abeyance for some time past, was concluded in this 
city this week, whereby Messrs. A. G. Butterfield and Harry Mitchell, of 
Weiser, aquired the Steele & Adams ranch in Malheur county, Oregon, between 
Ontario and Vale, says the Weiser Signal.  The gentleman began negotiations for 
the ranch last fall, but owing to the many transfers that had been made, and 
the complicated nature of them, the deal was not closed until this week.

The ranch, which comprises 480 acres, is one of the finest in southeastern 
Oregon.  It will be used by Messrs. Butterfield and Mitchell as a stock ranch, 
and breeding and lambing.  Over 4000 sheep were wintered there, and 3500 will 
be lambed there this spring. 

The ranch was purchased from Fred J. Holmes.  The consideration was $15,000.
