Leads In Stock Raising.
Brewster county has long been rec
ognized as the leading stock raising
county In west Texas. Large sums OF
money have been expended for well
bred animals where 20 years ago tue
long horn Texas steer ranged over
the mountains and valleys OF this
section. but today. IN their place, is
found the white face. the Durham and
the black muley or Galloway cattle.
The large ranches are being rapid

UNI al do well In Brewster county
On the ranges there is very little feed
used during any time OF the year for
stock. The native grasses, OF which
there are more than so varieties, that
mature after the rainy season. are
ample TO sustain the life of the COW
and the horse throughout the win
ter months without being fed by hand.
In portions Of the county, the Angora
goat industry Is carried on TO a lin
tied extent.
Fruits and Vegetables in Abundance.
Irrigation possibilities Of this sec
ton Of the state are great, as there is
an inexhaustiblo supply OF pure water
under a large scope OF the country
surrounding Alpine Cat a depth Of 10
to 100 feet. The Alpine valley is UNI
excelled in It's abundant and perman-
ent supply OF pure water.
This water supply has been the
means Of putting Alpine to the front
in the way Of fruit culture. One 10
acre orchard in this vicinity has paid
the owner over $4,000 within the past
five years.
Catalogues. tomatoes, potatoes and
sll kinds OF vegetables and berries

come in the summer. very little irri-
CATION is necessary for their produc-
ton. Apples from this section have
taken first prizes at state fairs and
premiums have been awarded Brews-
ter county onions. pumpkins, water
melons. Truck gardeners in the Al
pine valley are successful.
The demand for dairy products far
exceeds the supply and such products
bring fancy prices all the year.
Mineral Resources.
Foremost Of Alplne's mineral re-
sources is a solid mountain OF mar

This marble is both suited for inter-
Tor and exterior use. A large variety
OF colors are obtained from the quar-

shout three miles distance, is to be
found a fine grade OF white marble
which Is easily worked. Within the
corporate limits Of Alpine there is a
hill 300 feet high and about one mile
long. which has great deal of fine

About ~ miles east OF Alpine is a
