IS one of the most interesting men in
the territory. His possessions in land,
cattle, copper and silver mines in New
Mexico and in Chihuahua, Mexico. are
easily worth several millions of dollars.
His average annual income for several
years has been upward of $S0,O0O.
Last year he sold cattle that alone
his income ran UP to about $105,000.
Yet, with all this wealth at his COM
mand, and with a knowledge that his
great fortune is in gild-edged securi-
ties, he lives as cheaply as the COM
monest Mexican vaquero In his employ.
He boasts that he spends less than
5000 year on himself. His income is
greater than that Of some leaders OF
American society and notable votaries
of fashion and elegance, but he has alb

gave someone once who was trying to
tell the cattle king how other folks
would use an income of nearly $4,000
a year.
He has not been farther away from
his range than to Kansas City in over
thirty-five years. and he seldom goes
farther from his shanty home than
over to Las Vegas or down to Albu-
querque. His wealth is piling up in
land, cattle, copper property and mort
cages to the amount of thousands of
dollars every year. One hears homely
speculations among the people in Las
Vegas and the white settlers in San
Miguel and Bernalillo counties in
northern New Mexico, as to the dispo-
sition this strange and taciturn mill.

wealth. The story of his rise is as
thrilling as any border fiction. The
story tells how young Healy herded
cattle in a region infested by Apaches;
how he rode as Texas ranger in the
last Comanche campaign and was once
picked up for dead on the scene Of an
Indian ambush; how he has fought and
killed the most dangerous desperadoes
in the cattle country at several times
in his long experience on the southern
border, and how he has trailed cattle
thieves and rustlers for weeks at a
time. all go to make incidents in as
