Texas cattle trust doomed says Springer in 1900 letter
In a Denver letter dated June 20 and published in the National Provisioner, J OON W Springer argues a Texas cattle pool of 10 million dollars is impractical. He notes English investors lost money on Texas land and cattle schemes and asserts successful cattle farming requires individual stewardship, not large trusts. He cites Texas holding 6 million cattle and national herds of 44 million, dismissing a national pool as unrealistic and praising the live stock association’s stance against market speculation.

Cheap Power Plans Before Committee In San Francisco
At a meeting of the cheap power committee of the Comstock Pumping Association in San Francisco, only a definite proposition came from the Truckee River General Electric Company. Minor details were unsatisfactory, so the matter was referred to Attorney W. E B Deal, Hall McAlister, and Charles Hirschfeld for adjustment. It is hoped minor difficulties will be resolved and a satisfactory proposition ready for mining companies today. A rumor of a contract with Floristen Company proved unfounded.
