dead  to  the  ground.  The  largest  bear 
killed  during  Mr.  Halloway’s  series  of  hunts 
was  a cinnamon,  shot  on  the  17th  of  October. 
Its  hide  measured  twenty-eight  square  feet.  The 
number  of  bear  slaughtered  by  these  two  men 
from  September  1st  up  to  October  16th  inclu- 
sive, nine.

Nine  silver  brick,  under  escort  of  Mr. 
Hughes,  arrived  from  Georgetown  Wednesday, 
and  were  shipped  Thursday.  They  wer§  the 
property  of  the  Mimbres  Mining  company,  and 
were  worth  about  $15,000.  Owing  to  the  scar- 
city of  wood  and  some  needed  repairs  the  mill 
is  now  shut  down.

Capt.  W.  H.  Donaldson  has  decided  to  have 
800  head  of  his  she  stock  spayed.  Vic  Culbert- 
son will  do  the  business  and  is  now  on  the  ranch. 
If  more  of  the  stockmen  would  adopt  this 
method  they  would  soon  relieve  their  ranges, 
and  at  the  same  time  convert  their  surplus  stock 
into  ready  cash.
