The rustler., 1891-09-04
q. W AIexander n now Al his

cabin on the Pecos, doing Assess
ment on mining properties. On n
card written from Glorieta he says:
"Send the RusrLER Co Glorieta
until further notice. / have laid
in a splendid stock Of eatables and
should be pleased 10 have you come
up and camp Klth me while you
do your bear killing" We would
enjoy the camping, the trout fishing
and the grouse shooting, but the
bear hunting-please excuse Us.
We do not remember OF having
ever lost any bear.
II Is said that the coal shippers
OF Cerrillos are at last getting down
to business By pooling prices, and
that no coal will now be loaded on
cars here for less than 1916 ton.
This is a step in the right direction
and one which this paper has ever
advocated. IL Is probable that 50
per ton would have been a more
just value to place on the bitumin-
Gus coal output OF Cerrillos than
would 1915. but the latter will be
a decided Improvement over the
past system Of taking orders at any
price In order to get them, so much
practced in the past, and which
has resulted in disasterous losses TO
shippers, as well as merchants, who
are almost OF Il necessity involved
in every failure. 1t should be re-
membered by both shippers and
dealers, that CerrlllOs Goals, because
Of their very superior quality, will
command in market any reasonable
price put upen them.
The rain came In torrents the
latter part.of last week, along the
Rio Grand and up and down the
Gallisteo. Whether the Socotro
shooting had al Jthing to do with
II or not, would be hard 10 prove.
, The rains hereabou;s all came from
the immediate north, apparently
rising out of the Cash Entry mine.
, The clouds may have been station-
/: AIRY though, standing right where
. the shots had parallzed them, and
/, the course OF the earth In Its regu-
: lar swing around the circle, may
+. have brought us under the leak.
This seems an excellent year for

a shower of his own in edgeways.
