PROPRIETOR From DR. Chandler, vbc
returned from the Vail ranch last night,
the ProspeCtor learns that itu item taken
from the Yuma Times regarding the drive
Of cattle across the desert, was incorrect
in many particulars. The inference
drawn from the item in the Times was
that the drive was unsuccessful which is
an error that might result in much harm
as tending 10 discourage others who might
be contemplating tho success or failure Of
the drivers during the past summer with
view Of prO6sing by the experience Of
those who have taken part in them. DR..
Chandler states that while at tas Vail
ranch, a letter received by Mr.. Walls
brother postmsrksd CLrisso Creek in
which he said that they had not lost hoof
since leaving Yuma and that the drive had
been the most successful possible and the
cattle we're in tip tip condition.
A DsminR correspondent OF the Wilcox
StOckman writes: The Erie cattle COM
pany's herd Of 600 steers arrived here last
week. Owing to the Santa Fe company
having no stock cars in sight they were
obliged to hold them several days before
shipping. Those who saw the steers on
their range SAID that they were faiter and
in better shape on arriving here than
when they lett the company's ranch
They came through without the loss Of
single animal. and at a cost of about $500,
while, If they had been shipped At Will
cox the cost would have been about 500. !
Thus Manager Brown made clear saving
Of about $500 for his company and at the
same time demonstrated the fact that if |
the ranch owners of Arizona will put com
prtent men in charge OF their steers they
can bs driven to Deming at small cost
and without the loss of any steers.
