Arizona in all lines. He has been
driving over the country every day in
company with Colonel Bridges, and is
gathering much data on the proposed
road and on mining also. He will
return to Boston with an elaborate re-
port. and the chances are a few of the

The Crestimba Land and Cattle COM
pany made peculiar deal a few days
ago. About one year ago the COM
pany purchased carload of colts from
the Ellis brothers, of Santa Cruz
county. The animals were turned out
on the ranges, but seemed to get no
bigger. The company seemed to be
up against it on the horses. until a
horse buyer came along a few days
ago and said they were just what he
wanted. He took the whole carload
at fair prices and shipped them to
London, England, to be used as polo
ponies. Cattle men have always
thought that COW horses would be
good for that game. The experiment
will be interesting, to say the least.
