SHEFFIELD. The famed country “West of the Pecos” is entered now. a land strange and interesting and filled with history reaching back to Spanish and pioneer days. The arid country of the west is at hand. Waters underlie the land and where springs gusli forth they are oases of life. Old Fort Lancaster on Live Oak Creek was the last good water until Tunas Creek was reached 47.5 mi. west of Sheffield and 55 mi. from Fort Lancaster. A\ est of the creek crossing 3.5 mi. are the Tunas Springs under the rock hill the highway crosses. I’>y the cliff is the old stone corral of the San Antonio-San Diego stagecoach days. In the mesquite. slightly visible, are tho remains of tbe old stone conch station. The next water is at tlie great Comanche Springs, now Ft. Stockton. On the fast driving Old Spanish Trail of today these “water holes" are minor matters but men fought for and around them thru the past ages.

Stockton, irrigate fi.200 acres of alfalfa, oats, barley, wheat, fruits and vegetables. About 20.000 tons of alfalfa are shipped annually.
