San Antonio Stockman: An Eng fish syndicate has recently pur- chased 100000 acres of land in Coahuila. The Englishmen are in vesting largely in land in northern Mexico. "Git plenty, while you are gittin," seems to be their motto.
 Tombstone Record-Epitaph: The impression obtained by some that cattle can be brought into the Ter ritOry between October 1st and April 1st without being subject to inspection is erroneous. Cattle must be inspected at any season of the year brought into the Territory.
 Colorado Record: Colorado will enter the winter with 300,000 more cattle than it ever had before. What with the calf crop there has been an influx from Texas, Kansas and other western states of 100000 head at least. The greatest increase has been on the western slope.
 New Mexico Stock Grower: R. R. Richardson and Walter l.. Vail, prominent cattlemen of southeast ern Arizona, have gone to Kansas City to arrange for favorable ship ping rates for Arizona cattle to eastern markets. They will be ab- sent in the east about a month.

 Stock Grower: A Mexican ranch man, who lives over the mountain south of Coolidge, has some lOca- tions and cattle for sale, also 20 peons and number of horses, the whole outfit being offered for $45,- 900.
