the great work being carried on for
Wyoming by Isaac Van Horn and Fred
A. Miller, more familiarly known pos

Van Horn-Miller Trust, or the Laramie,
Hahns Peak and Pacific Railroad com

gentlemen have eve made a promise:
they quietly went about the business
In hand as business men, with a bust
ness enterprise; they have lever ask

simply our moral support-they have
never stated whether they had thou
sands or millions behind them; they
have carried on thei: business on a
cash basis and although their credit ia
practically without limit, they have
never exercised 1t, but cash has been
their motto.
Little by little their plans have been
in . measure understood from their
movements. Many people who believ'
ed that their work consisted Of build

continental business and eventually
connect Laramie with Denver or Salt
Lake City, and become . disturbing
element in the western railroad world.

their error and to realize that the scope

highest cash price that is paid for
winter apples at the tree in the
orchard os any locality in the United
States. We may go farther and
say, and it is fact that apple
buyers from Chicago and other
cities in the United States pay more
for the winter apples of San Juan
county at the tree in the orchard
40 to 90 miles away from a rail-
road than is paid for winter apples
at the depot of any other locality,
this will sound strange to some, but
tits true because of the fine flavor
and high coloring, together with
the good keeping quality in pack
ing and shipping
Many Of the San Juan apples are
shipped to European markets
The alfalfa that is raised on San
Juau county ranches is sold the
year around for S. a ton in the
stack on the ranch. Any surplus
that farmers may have is bought by
the cattlemen and stockmen of
Colorado, Utah and portions of
New Mexico. Large herds of
cattle are driven into San Juan
county on account Of the mild, open
winters and all the surplus hay is
ted out aud these cattle are made
fat, ready for the finest beef mar
kets and the highest cash market
price at Durango, Colorado; our
nearest railway point
Every product that the farmer of
San Juan county raises brings a top
cash price at all seasons of the
year and is always in demand and
there is no such thing as over
stocking the markets, because from
Durango, Colorado, our nearest
shipping point, all these products
are distributed to the mountain re-
gions and mining districts Of the
west and north.

A recent review of the advan-
iages presented by the splendid
markets Of San Juan county, was as
follows
The markets for the products of
San fuan county are the best home
markets to be found in any locality
in the United States, The reasons
Tor this are very apparent. The
county is located in the extreme
northwestern corner of New Mexi-
co cornering with Arizona, Utah
Colorado and the great mining dis
tricts of Colorado which include
Cripple Greek, Creede and Leadville;
also with the towns (mining) Of Sill
verton, Telluride Rico, Ridgeway,
Ouray La Plata City and Duran
60
On the west are the markets of
Utah in the mining and l,lmhering
regions, including Salt Lake and all
the towns in southwestern Utah,
with Arizona to the westand south
west and the great copper mines
southwark.
Thus surrounded by rich mining
districts, with mountain cities and
towns, with smelters, mining mills,
numbering mills and rich produc-
i've mines with saw mills, planning
mills where thousands and thou
sands of men are employed every
week and month in the year at
high wages, at cash rates, many OF
these localities being in high altitu.
des where nothing in the way OF
fruit or agricultural products grow,
gives San Juan county the best cash
prices Tor the products Of any To-
cality to be found in the West
The fruits Of San Juan county bring
better prices in the orchard at the
tree than the fruits of many local
ities at the depot. Winter apples
