We learn from Mr.. G. +. Smurr
that the agents of his company in
Arizona and New Mexico report
that sheep can be handled to aG-
vantage in large bands, say from
five to twenty-five thousand head,
in a district from thirty to sixty
miles south from San Simon. This
range has plenty of spring water
and bunch grass, called crowfoot
gramma. The range extends
twenty-five miles and as far back
from the creek as parties wish to
go. Grazing in the vicinity of
Deming is very good, but it is bet
ter about twenty miles north,
where there is more water. There
is abundance of grass around
LOrdsburg, but a scarcity of water.
Gillespie district, fifty miles south
OF Lordsburg, is reported as u fine
place for sheep. The Southern Pa.
cific Railway, 80 Mr.. J. G. Stubos
advises Mr.. Smurr, will offer rates
on sheep to these points early next
week.
