market Of the week, came the cattl.
Of the Jones Cattle Co, Hinman Bros.

Middle Park neighborhood in the last
SIX weeks, vas 4 complete success,
22j steers and heifers being landed
In Denver in fine condition after nine
days travel in which 100 miles were
covered.
The offering from Middle Park was
one Of the big features in the Denver
market, good prices being the case all
down the line. One load of the Jones
cattle went 10 the Coffin Packing Co.

This is new seasons top for grass
ers. Another load of the drive-ins-
eOws-sold at $500.
1t was close work while il lasted. >
said NJ VI. Hinman, "aud il REQUIRED
some real attention to get the critters
over here in good shape. We did
riding constantly and were kept busy
seeping the animals straight on the
steep trails with their paving Of sharp
pointed stones. Some roads, believe
me, those Rollinsville pass arteries of
traycl-if they can BE- called roads al
all. believe the going on this side
Of the range was more severe on the
cattle than the Western Slope. The
Coal Greek route is nothing but 4
washed out line Of rock. We negoti-
a,ed the trail safely, however, and
.anded out near Westminster shortl,-
after noon yesterday. We took things
easy and drifted in for the market
which isn't so bad considering what
happcncd TO the cattle fellows who
marketed last week"
The outfit Of the trail party con-
sisted Of one saddle animal and two
pack horses apiece. The trip was
made entirely without wheel trans
p0rtation for chuck wagon purposes
or anything else. The report tina.
grub would be served from a motor
truck, the boys say, was erroneous.
The cost of the drive from Kremm-
ling of the combined cattle outfit did
not exceed $500, according to Mr..
Hinman. The freight over the Mof-
fat road of the 225 head of cattle
would have been Sl0s.l5 on each of
10 carloads, making close to Sl,lO0
for the shipment.
1T could not be done every year.
