TAKES OPTION ON
HERD OF BUFFALO


FLAGSTAFF, Feb. q. - The
Coconino county board Of super
visors at its regular meeting sign
ed an option to purchase within
one year the herd Of buffalo now
owned by James T. Owens and
ranging in the Kaibab national
game preserve on the north rim OF
Grand Canyon.
The herd was established by
Buffalo" Jones in 1902 and af-
ter Jones death was taken over
by his partner, Owens, who has
since controlled and cared for the
animals.
There are now about 80 head
and it is the idea of the super

public property and allowed to in
crease and be protected by this
county or the state under a plan
yet TO be worked out. Last year
number of the animals were sold
to Los Angeles parties and it is
for the purpose of preventing the
breaking up Of the herd that the

South Jersey
Mortgage Company
Will Provide Fund From
Which Money Can
Be Loaned.
To Eliminate Bonuses

To meet a pressing demand for
mortgage money for smaller mort
cages on property in Southern
New Jersey, leading bankers and
business men who are experts in
the mortgage loan business have
organized a corporation, known as
the South Jersey Mortgage Com
pany. The principal office Of the
corporation is in the Temple bull
ding, Camden. The primary OBJ
ject of the company Is to provide
a fund from which money can be
loaned on first mortgages only to
the man with limited means to
assist him in procuring and fl
nancing a home.
II is well known that of late
many people have been called up
on to pay large bonuses when pro-
curing mortgage money. This
will be eliminated when loans are
procured through the new corpo-
ration. The capitalization of the
company is $1000,000 of eumula-
tive : per cent. preferred stock,
with par value OF 500 and TO-
zoe shares of common stock of no
par value.
Thirty-nine banks in South Jer-
sey have joined this movement to
provide mortgage money for the
man of small means. 1t is the in
tention to assist home-buyers and
