Angora Goats.
A San Jose, California, firm, which is engaged in the manufacture of cloth and robes from the wool and pelts of Angora goats, has established a goat ranch on the Humboldt, near Battle Mountain. Last night a car load of graded Angoras from California was taken to the ranch. The owners are of the opinion that the Humboldt valley is peculiarly adapted to the raising of these goats, and as the articles manufactured from their wool and skins are in great demand, if the animals thrive on bunch grass and sagebrush large flocks of them will probably be imported to this part of the country.
