HAD MONEY TO BURN.
The Chicago stockyards We're Dazzled By
Display of New Mexico Gold Coin,

A fellow who wore gold and silver
coins for buttons created considerable
comment at the Chicago stock market.
The fellow claimed to be from New
Mexico and Chicago paper in speak
ing of him says:
'Benson Mckee, who reached town
yesterday on horse train from New
Mexico with car load of 'bronchos'
for the east, caused mild sensation at
the stockyards with his fad of wearing
gold coins for buttons. His great coat
was fastened with double eagles and
his vest with IS gold pieces and his coat
had eagles glistening in the buttonholes
and above the tails. From chain at
tached to q pin in his necktie hung a $3
gold piece, OF which few ever were
coined. He had money to wear
"When he swung off the rear of q
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy caboose
the stockyards men opened their eyes
and stood amazed. He gave some
orders about feeding his stock, walked
over to the Transit house, and sauntered
through the horse pavilion. From
there he went back to the yards and at
4 O'Clock boarded ali eastbound horse
train for the east. Before he left he
said.
=" I come from Albuquerque, where |
have a large stock farm. The idea of
wearing gold pieces for buttons is only
an eccentricity of mine, and as the mon
ey is my own | can see no reason why
cannot wear it II | please

RAILROAD EXTENSION.
The Colorado & Southern Railroad Intends
to Ruild TO ElizahathtoWn.

A railroad extension into the Maxwell
grant is being planned by the Colorado
& Southern railroad. 1t will open a rich
mineral and agricultural section at
present reached only by wagon road.
Gen. Supt. Dyer, of the Colorado &
Southern, has returned from an inspec-
ton of surveyed route through the
grant in Las Animas county, Colo, and
northern New Mexico to Elizabethtown.
The survey was made under the direc-
ton of Chief Engineer Cowan and pro-
vides for easy grades and some thirty
miles of road.
The railroad will be one of the big i'm
provements of the many contemplated
by the owners. It's completion will be
followed by the settling Of new lands.
Gen. Supt. Dyers inspection means
that construction will begin early this
spring. In Trinidad he was in confer
ence with the company's officers, and
went to Denver with Division Superin-
tendent Parker, of the Santa Fe and
other Santa Fe officials. AS the latter
road has an interest in the grant,
bounding it on one side, it is thought
it is also interested in the construction
of the branch. To what extent is not
known.

A SHEEP TRANSACTION.
A Pecos Valley Sheep Man Made Good
Profit.

About year ago R. L. Smith pur-
chased 1000 head of sheep in Texas and
brought them into the Pecos valley of
New Mexico to lamb, where he could
feed green alfalfa during the day and
cured alfalfa at night, be in warm,
dry climate during the lambing season,
and convenient to an excellent free
range when ready to turn his focks out.
He pastured a large part of his flock at
the Bolles farm in Eddy county and dis
tributed the rest about as he could find
accommodation. The experiment proved
a decided success. He saved a greater
percentage of lambs than he could have
done in any other way, and the old sheep
improved so much during the few weeks
they were on alfalfa that he was able to
realize very handsome profit on his
investment. He recently sold the entire
1000 head, together with several thou
sand lambs, to a company represented
by w. j. Detweller, of Kansas City.
