RANCH CHANGES HANDS

T. p. Mcdonald, a brother-in-law
of our townsman, 7. N. Crowds, has
purchased the Mrs. Jenkins ranch on
the Animas river opposite Trimble
Springs. He has also purchased the
old poor farm. This gives him a
fine ranch of 800 acres. There are
some tight acres in orchard and 200
acres in hay. The remainder is
grain and pasture land.
Mr.. Mcdonald will come from Bail
ley, Colo, in a week or two to take
chaIge OF and develop his ranch.
We feel sure that he will make this
ranch one of the best in the Animas
valley as he intends to take personal

has covered the territory from the
Meadows to the Upper La Plata and
over to the Aztec section and have
found favorable oil prospects in the
entire territory. They believe that

pect to start drilling there soon, re-
