THE BIG CATTLE SYNDICATE,
George B. Loving Explains the
Plans Of the Organization.

George B. Loving Explains the
Plans Of the Organization.
Fort Worth, TEX, July George
b. Loving, who originated the idea
OF the formation Of the biggest sim
gle cattle syndicate aver undertaken
in this country, was seer and asked
to briefly outline the policy to be
pursued. Mr.. Loving said that
since the first publication of the
scheme he had been flooded with APP
plications from cattlemen who
wanted to dispose Of their herds.
Some of these were companies now
operating in Colorado, Missouri,
Kansas, New Mexico aud even in far
away Cuba, but it is not the inten-
ton to locate the business of the
proposed big syndicate in any other
state except Texas. 10 questions
p%ropounded Mr.. Loving said:
1T was never the intentiou of the
promoters of this company to invest
at the outside more than $40, 900, 0OG
in both cattle and land, the inten-
ton being to limit the operations of
the company to that part of New
Mexico east of the Pecos river and
the unorganized counties along the
western border Of Texas. In this
locality we have taken options on
about $23, 600, 900 worth OF ranch
properties, covering about GOO, 900
cattle and nearly 1000, 600 acres of
patented land, and about 1000, 900
acres, part OF which is in Texas and
controlled by lease, and part in New
Mexico and held by range rights.
