THERE are two sides to the question OF
the prizes asked for prospects. OF course,
some claim owners place an exorbitant
valuation on their properties, and as re.
suit they will never make a sale; but
there are many promising claims In this
district that can be bought or bonded
at reasonable figures and on liberal
terms. This perpetual complaint Of high
prices come mostly from men who are
operating on their gall and a shoestring.

leaving the head OF til Double Mountain
fork. we commenced crossing the divide
separating the water of the BraZos
from those of the Colorado distance
of about eight miles. The country
here undergoes a complete change.
You never meet with high rolling prai-
ries. arid, and destitute of timber, n
scarcely any grass but of the most mis-
cradle kind. Occasionally you cross
low sand-hills. containing some low ce-
dar and scrubby oak. This country eX-
tends to the Big Springs of Colorado"
these latter distant from the head of
the Double Mountain fork about fifty
six miles. Several fine branches of the
Colorado were crossed. the largest of
which vas the Salt fork. With the ex-
ception Of the latter. they were all
streams of fresh water; their banks
were high. but they were all of no
great width. On the 21st, We encamp-
ed at the Big Springs of h Colorado
and remained there the following day
to rest our animals. These springs are
very large. and a considerable quantity
of water is obtained from them: they
cover a space of about twenty feet
square. and in some places the water is
fifteen feet in depth by measurement.
They are walled in by a ledge OF high
rocks. forming a conceived surface,
within which the basin of the springs
lies. The water is impreganated with
lime. and is cool. fresh. and perfectly
clear. 1t is carried away in a bold,
running stream. which in a short dis
tance sinks below the surface. The
rocks which line the waters are a con-
glomerate limestone. formed by num-
erous shells. united by a natural ce-
ment. the character of which is sill
cious. The surface of the ground
around is is covered with angular
pieces of limestone. High mounds and
hills surround the springs. The soil IS
chiefly sand: n grass is poor; no tim
Der but young meZquite and cedar:
some scrubby elm borders the stream.
This spot has been a favorite place for
the camping-grounds of Indians: nu-
merous large. well-beaten trails lead
from it in different directions.

COMBINATION TO BEAR THE
PRICE OF TEXAS STEERS

Fort Worth.-It is the belief here
here among the leading cattlemen that
a combination has. zee formed in the
northwest for the purpose of bearing
the price of Texas steers. A promi-
nent Pan Handle dealer aid today
that northwestern cattlemen were
complaining that ~two-year-old Texas
steers are being held So to 81 too high
to bear down these prices. The big
northwestern buyers he thinks, have
organized a combine, and it is also said
they are being encouraged by commits
sion houses. 1t is said there will be a
demand for $4,000 t~wo-year-old steers
to stock the northwestern ranges. and
of this numebr not over 100, 900 are
to be foun in Texas There is ev-
cry indication that Texas cattlemen
will hold their prices firm.
