ELEVATOR IN DOUBT.
Railroad Officials Reached No Agreement In
Conference.

The question of the erection of second
grain elevator in Richmond is still in
doubt. No decision wus reached at the
conference of railroad officials yesterday
afternoon. The advisability Of accepting
the proposition made by the grain dealers
was discussed at length and finally re-
fered back to them for further informa-
ton as to what part of the expenses they
would be willing to bear in the erection
of the elevator.
1t is understood that the amount of
grain handled by the roads is hardly large
enough to make the elevator paying
investment
The roads represented in the conference
were: Atlantic Coast Line. Mr.. Alexander
Hamilton Seaboard Air Air Line; Colonel
Potomac, Major L. 7. D. Myers; Norfolk

MONEY in GOATS.
An Industry In Which Ey=ry Particle OF the
Animal is Utilized, Save Ms Scent.

You can sell every part of a goat but;
his scent" said John Collins. formerly
of Jeffersonvllle, but now of the world
in general, in the course Of an interview
last night on the subject of his Arizona
goat farm.
There are thousands Of goats on the
farm" he said, but whether there are
10000. 2O,0GO or 10000 I couldn't tell you
for the life of me.
II can tell you. however, something
about the way in which our goat indus
try was started. BY the death of q
Sranduncle. my uncle, Harry McCor-
mick and I inherited the Griebe st. Anne
silver mines. which are two days and
"a night of steady burro travel south OF
Tucson.
There was silver in the mines, hut by
the time we got it out and got it to Tue
son we were paying for it at about the
rate of is to /. Finding the venture a
losing one, we took lessons from the
'greasers' and bought from them $50 COM
mon goats.
There is nothing but sage brush and
catus out there for those animals to
feed on, but no man ever saw dead
goat, unless he had come to some vic
lent end. They live and thrive where
nearly every other living thing starves to
death.
1--WE started out with $50 goats deriv-
ing our profits from the sale Of the
hides. In 1892. we decided to mix them
with the Angora goats. After two years
the cross disappears and you get a per-
feet Angora goat.
cit is a valuable thing to have. Tho
long hair is sold to the manufacturers
of plush for furniture. sleeping cars and
such things. The hair next to the skin
can be made 10 into valuable shawls-
The meat of the kids is delightful when
fresh, and is sent in it's canned shape to
other parts Of the United States and
many foreign countries as canned lamb.

spoon of it is equal to three tablespoons
of the purest cream. But the best part
about the milk is that consumptives WIN

We are planning to condense the milk
and sell it for medical as we'll as family

NO stables have to be provided for tbs
Keeping and six rancherS are sufficient
for herding up those we want to sell.
Once in a while the greasers and Indians
get away with few. but where you've
got some scrappy ranchers they arc not
likely to repeat the performance often
