BIGGEST CATTLE DEAL Lyons & Campbell early this week closed the largest stock deal ever made in Grant county if not in New Mexico, selling to Mr. Boyce of Montana 1200 head of steers held in their pipe line pasture and the steers on the L. C. range. Mr. Boyce purchased most of the two and three year olds on the L. C. and San Vicente ranges thus ridding those ranges of about all available beef cattle and leaving the range free to the stock cattle of the two com- panies. Messrs. Lyons & Campbell will try the experiment of shipping steers to Montana to fatten. Those purchased by Mr. Boyce will be shipped to Montana ranges.
