Texas cattlemen, contracted to receive some 600 head of Mexican cattle at Presidio, provided the traders paid the American import duty of 2 to 21-2 cents a pound.

Tlie traders agreed, rounded up their cattle and drove them into the Mexican village of Ojinaga. opposite Presidio. There, reversing the old time Texas hog-tradcr's ruse of over-stuffing Just before sale, they their cattle for 48 hours before delivery. But they failed to take into consideration what the old Rio Grande 1 had done a' her last flooding in IF summer. Where once there had been a huge sand bar at the north end of the international bridge, the river had left a wide hole of shallow water.

Into this splashed the bawling, thirsty, herd and stopped. The vaqueros shouted and tried to shove the cattle on. but the animals wouldn't shove.

The mining of particular metals has been attractive because the miner or prospector knew that he had a cash market for all he could produce. and he could sell in quanti- ties as small as a ton or ore. The man with little capital could play this game and often come out on the winning side. Those men had no use non- metallics- First there was no sure market.
