,,4o ;,, Nlo
consideration is not known.
The rumors that have been in circula- !
tion throughout the country regarding the
shortage of ex-Treasurer Jaquez have /
within the past week crystalized into the
fact that there is a shortage. This Mr.. /,
Jaquez has admitted. The amount is in
doubt, the lowest sum named being 81 200 |
and the highest sum we have heard being
about $2,700. The ex-treasurer is as yet
unable or unwilling to tell where the dis
crepancy is; in fact Mr.. Jaquez appears
to be doing some very hard thinking
Times.
Upward of 10000 sheep passed through
Blanco and Largo canons last week head. !,
ed for the upper mesas. The herders
complain that San Juan county is too dry
and sunny this winter to afford ordinary |
pasturage, there being practically no
snow within the county limits. There
seems to be but little inclination on the |
part of sheep owners to sell or contract |
any of their sheep for spring delivery,
although there are buyers who stand
ready to purchase, among whom are 7.
